SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelorette' 2023 resumes with the third rose ceremony on ABC. Charity Lawson spends episode three going on two additional one-on-one dates and one group date in order to get to know her contestants better, and she sends four guys home. Charity meets the 14 surviving guys in San Diego, California, at the start of the episode. However, when one of the contestants found out he didn't win the Group Date Rose, his attitude enraged viewers.
This episode included two one-on-one dates, one with Brayden Bowers and one with Warwick Reider. Charity and Brayden spent the day at PetCo Park, where they met golden retrievers and shared a picnic. Warwick and Charity go to the Belmont Amusement Park for the day.
'If you want a pretty boy, sure'
Xavier Bonner, Tanner Courtad, Sean McLaughlin, Michael Barbour, John Buresh, Joey Graziadei, James Pierce, Dotun Olubeko, Caleb Balgaard, Adrian Hassan, Aaron Schwartzman, and Aaron Bryant join Charity for a group date. The date included a Barbie-inspired sing-off in which the guys had to write their own lyrics to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." The show was hosted by JoJo Fletcher and her husband, Jordan Rodgers.
The guys on the date were dressed in some of Ken's classic looks as they wrote a song to win the love of their Barbie. Tanner played Ice Skating Ken, while Sean played Double Denim Ken. "This date is perfect for me because I look like Ken," Sean explained.
Charity came up on stage and kissed Sean after his version of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' rocked the house down. "That's the confidence I'm looking for," she explained. She went on to say that the kiss had left her "flustered."
As Double Denim Ken, Sean got the Group Date rose. Now the couple went on a stroll together on the pier as the sun set.
Aaron S., on the other hand, was enraged after losing the date. "If you want a pretty boy, sure, go date Sean," he added. "But look at me, I'm a f---ing man." "Are you an only child?" Aaron S. later inquired about Sean. He then stated that Sean required a "slice of humble pie" as Sean arrived, enthused about the group date. "You gotta be selfish sometimes," Sean replied.
'Aaron S is a real MAN'S MAN!'
Seeing Aaron S react, one user tweeted, "The way Aaron S's eye started twitching when his "manly" self didn't get picked." Another user chimed in, "Aaron’s kinda a little b***h." One user further noted, "Aaron S and Sean are giving feud to Paradise pipeline."
While one quipped, "Aaron S is a real MAN'S MAN! He fishes! And hunts! And camps! None of that girly singing stuff or talking about feelings! Oh and he also complains non-stop about the other men being children because he's a MAN!"
One user noted, "Aaron s is really annoying me this episode." One felt, "I just know if Sean had said nothing, Aaron S would still have had an issue with him."
'The Bachelorette' airs weekly on ABC every Monday, from 9-11 pm ET.
