'The Bachelorette' Season 20: Bachelor Nation alums Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher help Charity Lawson find her real-life Ken in 'Barbie Land'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Charity Lawson wants a diamond at the conclusion of her 'Bachelorette' journey! On one of her group dates, the 27-year-old Bachelorette enlists married Bachelor Nation alums Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher to help her find the Ken to her Barbie, according to a PEOPLE exclusive early peek at the July 10 episode.
Alums of 'The Bachelorette' Jojo and Jordan requested that suitors sing ballads for Charity, the season's lead. The 27-year-old Georgia native previously appeared on 'The Bachelor' Season 27, when she was unsuccessful in winning the final rose from Zach Shallcross. She didn't give up hope and eventually appeared on 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 in search of her perfect love. Charity stated that she had waited her entire life to discover the love of her life after becoming the season's major character.
'Welcome to Charity's Barbie Land'
"Welcome to Charity's Barbie Land," JoJo says in the sneak peek. Jordan briefs the men on their responsibilities for the date. Charity recently chose former stars JoJo and Jordan to help her on her path. She requested that they find her the ideal match for her group date. As predicted, 'The Bachelorette' alums were eager to help the young woman find the Ken to her Barbie. They devised a strategy and asked the suitors to be prepared to perform.
"We're excited to be back and help Charity find her soul mate," the football commentator stated via People, before adding that they want the guys to be real-life Ken and perform love songs for Barbie, who is the lead of 'The Bachelorette' Season 20. Jojo requested that the suitors dress like Ken for their performances. “In the new Barbie movie, there are many Kens all vying for Barbie’s heart. Ken writes a love song for Barbie, so that’s exactly what you’re going to be doing.”
JoJo notes that the guys will be able to pick from some of the "most iconic Ken looks" in order to "look like a real-life Ken doll" when they perform for Charity. "I have 12 different types of Kens, and that is a vision," Charity explains.
Charity's journey so far
Charity's on-screen journey began in late June 2023. However, she has already had some of the most unforgettable experiences on reality television. Charity just went on a Dodge Bowl date surrounded by attractive men. During the episode, Charity shared an intimate moment with Joey Graziadei, breaking the show's record for the longest kiss. She also had a one-on-one date with Joey, which drew the attention of other bachelors to The Bachelor Mansion.
Charity began her season by offering a First Impression Rose to traveling nurse Brayden Bowers. Brayden almost quit the season in the second episode because he didn't appreciate how some of his fellow competitors suffered seeing Charity and Joey attempt to break the franchise's record for longest kiss on a group date. "I feel like they were disrespected," Brayden added.
When he told Charity about the problem, she assured him, "It was not coming from a malicious place." Brayden's anxieties were alleviated, and he opted to stay. Charity subsequently discovered through Adrian Hassan that Brayden had referred to the group date as "classless."
"To be called ‘classless,’ that’s just not the word that was used in our conversation," Charity explained. Charity left the group BBQ where these talks were taking place early after learning of Brayden's remark, although she eventually extended roses to both Adrian and Brayden during the rose ceremony.
'The Bachelorette' Season 20 airs new episodes on Mondays at 9 PM ET on ABC.
