Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman is opening up about one of the "saddest yet raunchy" episodes the reality competition show has ever seen. The brunette beauty says that episode 2 of the hit show was not only full of laughter and fun, but sweet sentiment as well, as producers dedicated the episode to contestant Eric Hill, who passed away in a fatal paragliding accident last month.

"The group date this week got so much raunchier than I could have imagined!" Dorfman writes in a blog post for People Magazine. "Last season on my first group date, I had to push myself out of my comfort zone, and although I didn't like it, I remember feeling very proud afterwards. I was proud because I knew I was doing something for charity, and that's the same feeling I wanted the guys to have this week. Little did I know they would all just dive right in!"

The Atlanta native also opens up about Bachelorette contestant Eric Hill, who tragically passed away before the season aired. Dorfman honored the adventure-seeking enthusiast by posting a photo and tribute to him on her Instagram page.

"As excited as I am to start watching the dates, this episode was obviously tough because of the tragic loss of Eric," Dorfman adds: "I remember that first date so vividly, and to be honest, I cannot bring myself to watch it back. I am really happy, though, that you get to watch and see the Eric that we were blessed to have met."
