Who did Charity Lawson send home? 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 star receives backlash over week 3 eliminations

Charity Lawson gives Brayden Bowers another chance as she sparks a connection with him despite his problematic behavior

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 Episode 3 turned up the heat with four major eliminations. While the week started on an exciting note with 14 suitors vying for Charity Lawson's heart, the show has taken on a serious turn with only 10 contestants remaining. From one-on-one dates to a group date, the episode had it all.

The latest episode was the perfect balance between fun activities, serious conversations, charming romance, and petty drama. 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 Episode 3 was based on the 'Barbie' theme, which was perfectly timed despite being pre-recorded. However, the drama unfolds when Charity cuts one of the suitors before the rose ceremony and contemplates taking away the rose from another unruly contestant. 

Who did Charity Lawson eliminate in week 3?

Charity kicked off the cocktail party by saying, "Let's pray it's a good night. No one piss me off, please!" The night started on a promising note as Joey tried to win Charity's heart with notes from his late grandfather. On the other hand, Xavier channeled his inner creativity as he gifted Charity a cloth he knitted. 

However, Aaron B chose to tell Charity that her first impression rose recipient, Brayden, wasn't ready for an engagement and doesn't want to date someone who has dated 20 of his friends, which caused Brayden's drama to take a halt on the evening once more. But after the exciting celebration and the emotional breakdowns, Charity bid some of her suitors farewell. So here's who she eliminated. 

Warwick Reider: The 27-year-old construction manager from Nashville, Tennessee, Warwick Reider, stunned everyone when he went on a one-on-one date to an amusement park. Charity and Warwick enjoyed the rides together but she was a bit perturbed when they had the park entirely to themselves but he wouldn't scoop ice cream for her. She had to do it herself, and complained in the confessional that he was 'disappointing' and not a 'gentleman' and later eliminated him.

Aaron S: The 33-year-old firefighter from San Diego, California, Aaron S, was particularly frustrated by Sean's antics as he stole the Barbie sing-off group date by going shirtless. Aaron confessed to the cameras that 'Sean is a selfish, privileged child'. However, Charity didn't feel the connection with Aaron, ultimately ending his journey in 'The Bachelorette'.

James: The 28-year-old attorney from Chicago, Illinois opted for 80's 'Prom Ken' during Barbie sing-off group date. Since he didn't get much time to show who he really was to Charity, his time on the show came to an end. 

Adrian: The 33-year-old realtor from Northridge, California, Adrian, sported classic Ken during the group date. Although Adrian brought Brayden's actions to Charity's notice on multiple occasions, he couldn't save himself from the eliminations. 

'Is she blind?' 

'The Bachelorette' Season 20 viewers had a field day on Twitter as Charity eliminated Aaron and Adrian, who seem to have a huge fan base. A social media user wrote, "Shit my bracket is f****d lmao I just knew Warwick and Aaron S. would still there and Brayden would finally be gone." A second viewer tweeted, "She sent home Aaron S???? That beautiful man who is a FIREFIGHTER????? Is she BLIND." A third person said, "Ugh!!!!! Aaron S. and Adrian should had stayed over Brayden." Another follower noted, "Charity girl u rlly are gonna send warwick home for having narcolepsy but not brayden for being the worst man to ever walk to planet GET A GRIP." One critic added, "Wait, did Adrian get sent home? And Brayden stayed? What is happening?"

'The Bachelorette' Season 20 airs every Monday at 9 pm ET on ABC.
