ABC’s The Bachelorette Season 20 brings us to the 3rd week where there are less guys and we can’t say that there won’t be drama, but we know that it will be a different variety. The guys recap what the past few days have been like.
Charity Lawson arrives to sit down with the men and apologizes for ending the barbecue early with them/ She lets them know that they are leaving LA and are going to Oceanside. Tonight’s 1-on-1 date is with Brayden. The guys pack to their new place and Charity drives off with Brayden to start their date. They go to the Padres Stadium where the helicopter lands and they get to play on the field.
The guys make their way to their new home (we wonder what Xavier is making) we see their lunch date on the field of the ballpark. Charity wants to know more about him and to get her red flags answered.
The group date card arrives and we learn that Joey, Aaron B, Michael, James, Caleb, Aaron S, Sean, Xavier, Tanner, Adrian, Dotun, and John are on the group date. Warwick got the other 1-on-1 date.
Back at the ballpark, they are having dinner on the field and she addresses that she was concerned when he wanted to get up and leave the process. He explains that this was a traumatic experience for him because he had bad relationships. She gives him the rose - we wonder how this relationship will progress long term.
The group date is at a Barbie boutique and they’re able to see Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers. The boutique is filled with Ken looks which are known items that the doll has worn over the years. It’s another fun twist to the Barbie movie that we have been seeing over the past few months. They are tasked with writing a song while wearing his outfits and they will perform in front of a live audience for the Barbie Beachfront Concert. The winner of this challenge is Sean.
The cocktail party from the group date begins and the guys have left their Ken outfits and are back in their own looks. They’re all looking at the group date rose. They all hype themselves up and Sean comes in singing the Barbie song that he won. The guys tell him to stop being an only child and to act like he’s used to nice things.
Charity arrives wearing another great piece of outerwear that’s pink. Sean steals her and says he has to steal her to finish their conversation. He’s rubbing the men the wrong way no matter what he does. She spends time with each of the men and she actually brings Dotun up to his room so that she can have more time to talk with him. Dotun gets the group date rose and the rest of the men receive a hug before she heads out.
The 1-on-1 with Warwick begins and without a doubt, he looks great in a suit. They are all dressed up to go to Belmont Park to ride as many things as they want. She says she’s attracted to him, but she wants to know more about him as she knows that he is reserved. Unfortunately and not unsurprisingly, she sends Warwick home after giving him all the opportunities to open up. It’s a shame because we saw the most emotion out of him during the date, but when it came to communicating - which he said wasn’t his strong suit, it was flatlining. She had no choice but to send him home!
The guys know that Warwick has been sent home and he is the first one that had a 1-on-1 that happened to him. Brayden let the guys know that he could continue to date her; however, he is not sure about an engagement. This throws Aaron B for a loop. He makes a note to tell Charity about this at the cocktail party. She lets them know that her biggest fear is to spend time with someone who is not truly ready for the commitment. She begins to chat with Aaron B and he decides that he has to tell her his thoughts on what Brayden said so that she has all of the facts. He lets her know that he is not ready for an engagement, not being sure of her, and not wanting to date someone who has been dating his friends. Aaron B talks with Brayden and lets him know what he told Charity.
Charity addresses it with him and the men tell Aaron that they don’t like that he brought it up when he did as that affects other’s time with her. Many feel that because he has a rose on his chest, that he is safe. We finally see Jesse Palmer who pops up. He acknowledges that he is coming in early and that the rose ceremony is still happening, but the cocktail party has come to an end. The guys say that they like Aaron, but they can’t believe that what he did has taken time from them. After giving out all of the roses, she sends Aaron S, Adrian, and James home. She lets Brayden stay and feels that she is going with her gut.
The rose ceremony begins and before she sees the men, Jesse asks if he trusts Brayden. Aaron B gets the first rose of the night! She gives out roses and sens Aaron S, Adrian, and James home! We had Aaron S and James as possible contenders for heading to Hometowns!
