This post contains details from the Season 20 premiere ofABCsThe Bachelorette.
CHARITY LAWSON:It totally changed the pace obviously.
Instead of just vying for one person, you have 25 other people vying for you.

That came with a lot of excitement but also nerves.
DEADLINE: You made it to hometowns last season.
LAWSON:Being in mental health, Im the biggest advocate for therapy.
So I will always be in therapy.
Im a person whos just like, Yes, everyone needs therapy.
That definitely helped as I transitioned.
Zach is someone who I have so much respect for.
And so what would that look like?
LAWSON:We see Jesse give me the scare my life, saying someone from your past is here.
I was like Oh god, it better not be an ex.
Obviously seeing my brother step out of the limo, I was truly floored.
I literally got down on my knees.
He is one of my best friends.
We know family and friends from home cant go on this journey with you.
So when I discovered that he played the bartender all night I was like, Great.
That means he probably has heard things.
I knew thats truly what he was there for.
My brothers decision and take on things sometimes will be different from how I view things.
DEADLINE: Lets talk about that.
You chose to give Brayden the first impression rose, which was a little surprising.
What led you to that decision?
We see Braydens personality really shine.
Hes very charismatic, super full of energy.
It was very effortless to talk to him.
He was someone that really made me laugh.
And as my brother likes to refer to it, he heard my gut laugh happen.
So that means I was really having a good time.
That was a telltale sign for me.
I like to compare it to him being a giddy school girl.
DEADLINE: Looking back on your season, how would you describe it?
LAWSON:Full of romance.
Its gonna be a very romantic season.
A very thrilling season.
