'Bachelorette' recap: Final 2 men chosen
Andi Dorfman is in the final stretch of 'The Bachelorette' as she narrows down her choices to two men on Monday.

Andi Dorfman wore her heart on her sleeve for the past nine weeks as "The Bachelorette," and that time is soon coming to an end.

In Sunday's episode, she chose Josh and Nick as her final two potential fiances.

Looking back, she said she's had a much more positive experience this time around than when she competed for Juan Pablo's heart on last season's "The Bachelor."

"These guys were so open from the beginning. The conversation was deep. It was real. That was something that I felt was missing from the season before," Dorfman said.

Dorfman said she keeps herself in check by not taking herself, or the show, too seriously.

"It definitely has this great message and great theme to it. But let's be honest, we're not digging trenches in a war. This is fun for us. I laugh at it sometimes, it's my own guilty pleasure," Dorfman said.

One thing she's had a hard time laughing at: Haters on social media.

"I think I've gotten a thicker skin. I'm not going to lie and say at the beginning it wasn't traumatizing for me. The things people are willing to say, it's crazy," Dorfman said.

Her "Bachelorette" commitments have taken up so much of her time, Dorfman decided to leave her job in the district attorney's office in Atlanta.

"When I'm read to give 100 percent and I'm able to give 100 percent, I'm going to do it (go back)," Dorfman said.

For the time being, she's focused on the last Monday in July.

"I'm definitely ready for the 28th, for the finale to come," Dorfman said.

Next week, she faces a room full of exes to re-hash the season in "The Men Tell All" episode.
