"The one that got away": The Bachelorette fans upset as Charity sends home Tanner 

In episode 5 of The Bachelorette season 20, Charity decided to send both Sean and Tanner home after their two-on-one dates. She wanted to see how the men would behave on a date, as she had not spent much time with either one of them. The trio went on a swamp tour while checking out the crocodiles around them.

While not much of their conversation was featured, Tanner was very vulnerable and disclosed personal details about his past failed relationship. He explained that he put his walls up to “protect my peace at all costs” after his ex ghosted him following an argument, but it was not what he wanted forever.

Charity did not know what to do at the time and decided not to handout any roses. Tanner was happy to spend some more time with her, unlike Sean, who wanted immediate answers. Later on, Sean also pressured Charity to give her answer, for which he was eliminated.

On the other hand, Tanner stuck around until the group date and told Charity that he could see them having an amazing time as a couple. Charity was once again confused, but later visited Tanner’s room to evict him.

The Bachelorette fans did not like her decision as they felt that Tanner was being the perfect gentleman by appreciating her and understanding her decision, unlike Sean.
