AceShowbiz - A new episode of "The Bachelorette" saw Charity Lawson making a big decision. The Monday, July 10 episode of the ABC dating series saw the leading lady walking out of the Rose Ceremony and even second-guessing her own decision.
At the beginning of the episode, Charity and the guys were heading to Oceanside, California. The leading lady picked Brayden to take a helicopter ride to the location with her, while most of the men were stuck making the trek via bus.
Charity revealed in confessional that she felt "very comfortable and easy" with Brayden. She additionally admitted the fact that he considered leaving over her record-breaking kiss with Joey "frightens" her.
Charity and Brayden then enjoyed a day at Petco Park, the stadium where the San Diego Padres play. After they played on the field, Brayden admitted that the whole "Bachelorette" process might be "too much," and Charity found it "scary."
"What are we doing and why are we here?" Charity asked the cameras. "I don't want to be with someone where I'm not a priority or they don't think I'm worth fighting for... I need to figure out if he's capable of being the one."
During the nighttime portion of their date, Brayden revealed that being on the show makes him feel like he's "walking back into the trauma" of being cheated on in the past. Charity still gave Brayden a rose after he vowed to continue to try.
Later on the group date, JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers joined Charity and the men for a Barbie-themed date. Each suitor had to dress up in one of Ken's iconic looks to write and perform a song set to the tune of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Caleb showed off his impressive vocal skills, but it was Sean who won the competition. It granted Sean some one-on-one time with Charity.
The other guys were annoyed by Sean's win. Aaron S. was particularly peeved by Sean's antics, telling the cameras the software sale representative was a "selfish privileged child." Charity eventually gave the group date rose to Dotun.
Charity and Warwick then enjoyed a one-on-one date at a carnival which went awkward. Warwick revealed that he's "somewhat reluctant to get into relationships," which Charity called "ridiculous." Charity decided to send the construction manager home.
Ahead of the cocktail party, Brayden shockingly told his fellow suitors, "I'm not sure if I could do this, like, getting engaged after just dating with 20 other dudes. I mean, I know I could for sure date her after this experience. For me, the only thing that's going to be hard is if I could 100 percent get down on a knee after this experience."
After having a good conversation with Charity, Brayden bragged, "I got the rose on my chest, it's smelling good. I got lip gloss on my lips, it's feeling good." Aaron B. then decided to bring up the situation when talking with Charity, who felt "a little sick" after learning about the matter.
"I don't have time to continue to deal with foolishness," she said. "I will do what has not been done. I have no problem pulling this man aside. He has a f**king rose on his chest. I will rip that s**t off."
She then quickly pulled Brayden to discuss the situation. Defending himself, Brayden told Charity, "My hesitancies are more real than what anyone else is expressing." Charity let Brayden keep his rose for the time being, before giving the other flowers to Aaron B., Caleb B., Xavier, Joey, Michael, John, Sean and Tanner.
Charity, however, wondered if she made the right decision after she handed the last rose out. Ultimately, she let Brayden stay on the show because "he is a strong connection."
