I Am Loving Charity Lawson As The Bachelorette, But What Was Up With That Awkward 2-On-1 Date?

Sean McLaughlin, Charity Lawson and Tanner Courtad on The Bachelorette.

Charity Lawson has been a delight to watch on The Bachelorette Season 20. Giving her the reins on her own season has allowed me and other Bachelor Nation fans to see more of her sense of humor and personality than when she appeared on Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor. Because I’ve been enjoying this season so much, it made it all the more disappointing when the 2-on-1 date between Sean McLaughlin and Tanner Courtad was not only pretty boring, but ultimately seemed to not matter much, since neither of them were sent through to Hometowns. What the heck was that?

I love a good 2-on-1 date, and it feels like it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the Bachelor franchise’s version of the Thunderdome: Two men enter, one man leaves! The date is often given to rivals who are causing drama with the lead and other cast members. The Bachelor or Bachelorette is able to isolate the problem players, determine if one of them is there “for the wrong reasons” and send them packing.
