Charity Lawson didn’t waste any time eliminating men she didn’t care for on episode one of The Bachelorette Season 20.

The beauty from Columbus, Georgia began the Monday night premiere with 25 hot guys, many of whom were “super tall,” as she recently told Parade in an interview.

Charity connected with many of them during the traditional parade of limo arrivals.

The fan favorite, who finished fourth for Zach Shallcross’ heart on last season’s The Bachelor, was more than ready to look for love.

With host Jesse Palmer there with words of encouragement, Charity told the cameras, “Let the journey begin. Bring on my husband.”

But as fans saw, she sent six guys home at the end of the show. Read on for more!

Who stood out in the cast after they exited the limos?

Software salesman Aaron B. impressed Charity right away as “smart and clever.” Doctor Caleb A. handed her a stethoscope so she could listen to his “heart beating just for you.” Chris, a world record holding jumper, did a back flip for Charity. Medical sales director Spencer was honest, admitting that he was “terrified” to be part of the show. Handsome Brayden brought liquor shots to share with Charity.

 

Who got Charity's first impression rose on The Bachelorette Season 20?

Although her “undercover brother” Nehemiah Lawson dressed up as a bartender to spy on the suitors and reported back to Charity that Brayden was arrogant, she gave him her first impression rose anyway. The two had bonded as Brayden told her he’d been cheated on. Charity had confided to Zach on The Bachelor that a previous boyfriend had been unfaithful. The child and family therapist, 27, kissed Brayden, a travel nurse, and noted their fierce chemistry. That left the rest of the dudes to worry they’d be departing.

Who else did Charity kiss?

Scientist Xavier, who stands 6’6,” told her “I’m a pretty open person” and they shared a make out session. Charity felt he might be “too good to be true.” With John, she made the first move, pulling him in for a kiss. The Auburn University graduate also kissed Aaron B. and told cameras that he was a charmer.
