The Bachelorette never stops looking for love! Despite the break, Charity’s season took off this week, and some Bachelors are finally coming into their own. Some, not so much—but that’s why there’s a rose ceremony!
If you missed it, Charity Lawson is the 20th season’s Bachelorette. The charity was one of Zach Shallcross’s final finalists, making it to the hometown show before being eliminated.
Charity has fully recovered from the grief she experienced during Zach’s season and is ready to love again. Her brother, Nehemiah, keeps reappearing (most recently as a bartender disguise).
In the most recent episode, Charity embarked on her first one-on-one date with Aaron B. She also put her degree to good use (ICYMI—Charity is a therapist) since this guy opened the floodgates of his poisonous past.
Aaron’s trauma dump finally worked to his advantage, and revealing that he goes to treatment earned him some brownie points with Charity. “There’s nothing more attractive than someone who is going to put in the work for their future partner,” Charity says.
Later, Charity joins Dotun, Adrian, Tanner, John, Xavier, Aaron S., James, Brayden, Sean, Caleb A., Caleb B., and…Kaleb on a dodgeball group date. Adrian wins the dodgeball game, while John wins the group date rose.
The second group date is a kissing competition between John Henry, Michael, Warwick, Joey, Josh, and Spencer. Joey wins the competition and has a one-on-one date with Charity.
Finally, John Henry, Caleb A., Kaleb, and Spencer are sent home during the rose ceremony. So in this article, you will find The Winner Of The Bachelorette 2023 and much more.
Who is Charity Lawson?
According to her LinkedIn page, the 27-year-old Bachelorette is originally from Georgia but presently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in clinical mental health counseling from Auburn University. She currently works as a child and family therapist.
Charity is also a genuine romantic, and according to her ABC Bachelor profile, her favorite movie is The Notebook. This season, she’ll hopefully discover her own Noah Calhoun!
Charity recently told Entertainment Tonight that she’s going into The Bachelorette with “an open mind, an open heart, ready to fall back into love.”
Her Final Four Have Been Revealed
Surprise! Reality Steve reported on Instagram on April 11 that Xavier Bonner, Joey Graziadei, Aaron Bryant, and Dotun Olubeko have all made it to Charity’s final four.
(He initially said it was Tanner, but afterward remedied his mistake). Charity gives these four youngsters their hometowns. They’re pretty fortunate!
According to Steve, Aaron makes it to an overnight date and the final three, but he does not receive the final rose. He was shot in San Diego on the day of the final rose ceremony and is set to appear in the next season of Bachelor in Paradise.
Steve is quite cheerful that Dotun, Xavier, and Joey are the final three, but he isn’t quite ready to confirm this yet. Aaron is eliminated at an unknown point but makes it to Fiji.
When Does ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 20 Air?
ABC has revealed that the upcoming season of The Bachelorette will premiere on June 26, 2023.
The customary time slot for the forthcoming season will also be updated. Rather than running from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, as is usual for the Bachelor Nation franchise, the newest Bachelorette season will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET, according to ABC.
The season of Charity may be a little shorter than usual. Even though The Bachelorette has a shorter season than The Bachelor, Charity reduced her team to just six men after only a few weeks of filming.
Reality Steve tweeted that this indicates a shorter season ahead, although Charity may begin culling the men slower. Only time will tell.

The Rose Ceremonies Are Cutthroat
Rose Ceremony #3
- Aaron Schwartzman
- Adrian Hassan
- James Pierce
- Warwick Reider (eliminated during a one-on-one date)
Rose Ceremony #4
- Caleb Balgaard
- John Buresh
- Michael Barbour
- Brayden Bowers (sent home during the group date)
(No Rose Ceremony in New Orleans, but Sean McLaughlin and Tanner Courtad are sent home)
Rose Ceremony #5
- No word yet!
Steve also claims that three men (most likely Xavier, Dotun, and Joey, but one could be swapped out for Aaron) are assigned overnight dates, and one is removed during his, but he isn’t sure who they are. Keep an eye out.
Charity is Happy With This Batch of Men
Charity has already gotten her first impressions of this season’s men, which’re positive! She recently told that the first night was a “good one,” and she liked the men’s limo entrances.
“I’m a little giddy. Definitely smitten. I have a good batch of boys…I was laughing the whole night,” Charity told ET.
There’s a Barbie-Themed Group Date
If you think the dates for this season can’t get any better, think again. In the forthcoming episodes, the charity will go on another one-on-one with candidate Brayden Bowers to PetCo Park in San Diego, allegedly his hometown.
Another planned group date is a “Barbie Sing Off,” which makes sense given that the Greta Gerwig film will likely be out in theaters around the time this episode would show. Each of the males was required to do their own rendition of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.”
Charity’s Season Will Have Contestants Traveling All Around the Country
Charity’s season was filmed in Washington state, according to Steve. The Bachelorette had a one-on-one date with Dotun at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl (hopefully no lawsuits resulted), another one-on-one with Xavier, and a group date, during which Brayden Bowers was sent home. Before leaving for New Orleans, the gang holds a rose ceremony.
(FILMING UPDATE): “Bachelorette” filming is in the Washington state area. Charity had a 1-on-1 yesterday at Mt Hood Skibowl then came back and had her night portion at the Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, WA.
Group date today.
1-on-1 tmrw.
Rose ceremony Tuesday.
Leave Wednesday.— RealitySteve (@RealitySteve) April 2, 2023
Charity had a one-on-one date with Joey Graziadei in Jackson Square while in New Orleans. Then she and Dotun do a 10K. That’s a hard first date, but according to Reality Steve, Dotun was a track star in college, so it probably went well. According to Steve, there will also be a third one-on-one date in NOLA, but only time will tell who will be the lucky Bachelor.
Another intriguing aspect of the Bachelorette group’s stay in New Orleans: there is no rose ceremony. Charity is said to hand out roses during the dates. Tanner Courtad and Sean McLaughlin have been sent home.
Charity Travels Far And Wide For Hometowns
According to Steve, Charity has four hometown dates with Xavier, Joey, Aaron Bryant, and Dotun. She visits Xavier in Ohio, Joey in Pennsylvania, Aaron in Texas, and Dotun in California.
Based on Steve’s predictions for the last three, Aaron appears to be out after the hometown dates, but it’s still too early to confirm anything.
Her Overnights Take Place in Fiji
The charity was photographed in Fiji on the Bachelorette Instagram account in April. This is significant because, according to Reality Steve, no Bachelor franchise program has ever announced the location of destination episodes before they air, but they gave PEOPLE exclusive details.

Obviously, it hasn’t been confirmed that Charity’s overnights will take place in Fiji—but given that it’s the most romantic location they’ve visited while filming, it looks pretty likely.
In another podcast episode, Steve mentioned a Reddit video where two of Charity’s guys, Aaron and Dotun, were sighted in Fiji. Aaron was then seen in “several Instagram stories” at parties in San Diego while filming for the Bachelorette was supposed to be taking place.
“I think it’s safe to say Aaron did not win,” Steve stated on the show. “In fact, I will say it: Aaron didn’t win.”
If he’s correct, it comes down to Dotun, Joey, and Xavier. Charity’s season has already begun; hopefully, many more spoilers will come.
For more information, watch The Bachelorette live on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
