'The Bachelorette' Recap: Andi and the Guys Visit France
Get all the details from Monday night's episode of the ABC dating competition.
— -- "The Bachelorette" star Andi Dorfman and her men left the United States for the first time on Monday night's episode of the ABC series. They traveled to the French city of Marseille.
The biggest moments came during her group date. She invited most of the guys to learn the art of miming and then show off their new skills in public. The locals were not impressed by their performance.
There was drama afterward, and it involved Andrew, who a few weeks ago caught heat from some fellow bachelors for accepting a waitress' phone number. Marquel confronted him over a rumor that he'd used an offensive term to describe the African-American contestants, including Marquel, during a rose ceremony.

Andrew adamantly denied the accusation.
Meanwhile, Nick V. had to explain himself to Andi after she was told that he'd mocked another contestant. He gave her a love letter, which appeared to help his cause.
Andi concluded the group date by giving a rose to JJ, the "pantsapreneur."
The two-hour episode began with Andi's one-on-one date with Josh M., a 29-year-old former professional baseball player. They explored Marseilles, hitched a ride on a boat, and then made their way to the Palais Longchamp monument. After Josh accepted a rose, the two were treated with a surprise concert by musician Ben Fields.
Andi's other one-on-one date was with Brian, the basketball coach who impressed her with his ability on the court during the last episode. They enjoyed a screening of the upcoming Helen Mirren movie The Hundred-Foot Journey, then cooked together. Brian was shy at first, but once he was presented with a rose he opened up, and the two kissed.
After all three dates, Andi informed host Chris Harrison that she wanted to cancel the cocktail party because she already knew how she'd decide at the rose ceremony. She went on to eliminate three contestants: Andrew, who complained to the cameras that he'd been "bullied" by the others; Marquel; and Patrick.
Next Monday night, Andi and the eight remaining men will spend time in Venice, Italy.
