‘The Bachelorette’ Season 20 Preview

After getting her heart broken by “Bachelor” Zach Shallcross during the hometown dates episode, Charity Lawson is back as the “Bachelorette” for its 20th season.

Her ABC bio reads:

The captivating 27-year-old will begin handing out roses when the series returns this summer.

A child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia, Lawson earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Auburn University. She stole America’s heart on season 27 of “The Bachelor” with her confidence, compassion for helping others and magnetic smile. Audiences saw Lawson open herself up to finding love by taking risks, all while supporting those around her. After her emotional exit, she solidified Bachelor Nation’s trust in her genuine desire to find love.

As the Bachelorette, Lawson is searching for a life partner who loves dogs, thrifting and a good tailgate; but, above all else, is honest, empathetic and values her for who she is. With parents who have been married over 47 years, Lawson has been instilled with the confidence of knowing what she deserves and is eager to find a lasting love matching their example.

The 25 men vying for Charity’s heart (and roses) are as follows:

Aaron B., 29, a software salesman from San Diego, Calif.

The premiere episode sounds like an appearance from Charity’s brother will have the fireworks flying right from the start. The description reads, “Charity’s journey to find love begins! Twenty-five charming men arrive, ready to make a lasting impression and win her heart. Later, at the cocktail party, Charity’s brother, Nehemiah, makes a shocking reveal, and the night takes an unexpected turn.
