Charity Lawson sends Brayden Bowers home after he displays jealous behavior throughout the group date in Washington

WASHINGTON, DC: First impressions aren't everything, are they? Brayden Bowers, a Season 20 suitor on 'The Bachelorette', has probably gotten the most screen time, and not for the greatest reasons. Charity Lawson may have given the travel nurse the First Impression Rose, but will they end up together? Continue reading to learn about Brayden's future in the program.

After avoiding elimination for the first three weeks at the Bachelor mansion, Charity decides to send Brayden home during week four. He goes on a group date in Washington and is sent home after showing jealous behavior throughout the night.

'I feel like I don't want to be here right now'

Brayden admits on the Monday, July 17 episode that he is still upset with Aaron Bryant over last week's cocktail party. "My goal at the end of this," Brayden adds, "was to have a connection with a woman."

"She wants a husband," Aaron says in response.

"What's the conversation?" Charity asks as she steps in. Charity inquires about the men's intense discussion, and Brayden informs her that he has had his luggage packed twice now. She is surprised by the confession and requests to talk with Brayden alone. Aaron expresses his desire for Charity to send Brayden home in a confessional. In a different confessional, Charity admits to being annoyed with Brayden. She expresses her delight at seeing him and speaking with him tonight.

"I feel like I like you," he says, "but I feel like I don't want to be here right now."

"I deserve someone who is wholeheartedly gonna put their whole heart into this," Charity adds as she leads him out. 

'If they bring Brayden back toward the end of this season I will RIOT'

Reacting to the drama unfold and the possibility of Brayden coming back, one viewer noted, ""I feel like the door wasn’t fully shut.” If they bring Brayden back toward the end of this season I will RIOT." OG fans tweeted, "I have a feeling Brayden will be coming back, pulling a Luke P situation." Another person noted, "I want to celebrate him leaving but I fear that Brayden is coming back." A fourth user quipped, "I definitely think Brayden is gonna pull a Luke P and come back, this season has heavy Hannah B vibes."

Fans protested saying, "THE DOOR IS SHUT, Brayden. I’m so serious, I don’t want this dude on my screen. DO NOT bring him back to cause chaos in the season." While others joked, "Jesses face when Brayden asks to come back on in 2-3 weeks."
