NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: It's only been a few weeks since Charity Lawson embarked on her quest for love as 'The Bachelorette,' and yet we're only a few weeks away from the big Bachelorette finale! When the topic of hometown dates dropped on the show's July 24 episode, Bachelor Nation fell from the skies, as they couldn't believe how quickly this season appeared to wrap up.
On Night 1, 25 men arrived at 'The Bachelor' mansion to meet Charity for the first time and go on their own adventures in the hopes of connecting with her. There were a few men who struck up an instant relationship with Charity and, as a result, earned more screen time than some of the season's other males. This has allowed us to monitor how their connections develop over the season and keep track of their time on the show. On the other hand, there have been just as many guys this season who haven't had the same amount of screen time, making it tough to keep track of how many men are still remaining in the season.
'The Bachelorette' finale to air on August 21
Charity had already reduced her group of 25 guys to only six remaining contestants when the fifth episode of the season aired on Monday, July 24. As the season continues, here is a breakdown of the guys still fighting for Charity's attention on the show: Aaron Bryant, Dotun Olubeko, Joey Graziadei, Sean McLaughlin, Tanner Courtadage, and Xavier Bonner are among those who have participated.
Following the fifth episode of the season, Charity is expected to reduce the group of guys to four, with Hometowns following in episode six. Charity will be able to meet the families and friends of her last four guys at that point before sending one more man home ahead of overnights. Charity is expected to cut the field down to two after the overnight dates, setting the stage for a three-hour finale on August 21 at 8/7c!
'Six left and I don’t know any of their names'
As soon as viewers saw 6 men opening the Monday episode, one viewer tweeted, "Am I living in an alternate reality or did we go from 20 guys to 6 in literally two weeks." One user asked, "i’m sorry there’s only SIX guys left???" Another user guessed, "I’m convinced production is broke from the travel budget with Zach’s season. How are we still in the USA at top six?" A fourth fan quipped, "Six left and I don’t know any of their names lmao."
One user asked, "SIX GUYS??? How did we even get here." Another inquired, "THATS A GUARANTEED HOMETOWN?? How are we almost at hometowns? Is Charity going to have a four part finale??" A fan argued, "So… we know neither of these guys are getting a hometown right?"
'The Bachelorette' Season 20 returns with new episodes on ABC on Mondays at 8 PM ET.
