“It was a good one,” Charity told the outlet. “I’m a little giddy. Definitely smitten. I have a good batch of boys… I was laughing the whole night.” The leading lady admitted she “came in with little alarms wanting to go off,” noting that her nerves are “easing their way out” after meeting her men. “It was worth it,” she said about overcoming her fears and continuing on with her journey.

Season 20 of ‘The Bachelorette’ will premiere in June 2023.

If you’re wondering why The Bachelorette is no longer airing at 8 p.m. EST, look no further than Claim to Fame — Season 2 of the hit reality competition series will take over the popular franchise’s usual time slot. As expected, many fans (including us) are none too thrilled about this unnecessary change. Sure, it’s the summer, but most of us still have to get up early the next morning.
“9 p.m. … y’all know who your target audience is, right? We have work in the morning,” one fan commented on Instagram, while another said, “Bro I struggle with the 8 o’clock time on occasion lol.” A third added, “Change it back to 8 p.m., some of us have a bedtime.” Preach it loud and clear!
If the 9-11 p.m. EST time slot becomes too much of a problem (it already seems like it is), there’s a chance ABC could switch The Bachelorette and Claim to Fame — let’s hope that’s the case because it’s way too late.
Season 20 of The Bachelorette premieres Monday, June 26 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
