She’s got the “it factor.”

Charity Lawson, a Columbus native and Auburn graduate, is competing for a chance at love and a final rose from Zach Shallcross on this season of “The Bachelor” on ABC.

It seems like Charity is a top contender already. She left Zach feeling smitten on the season’s premiere episode earlier this week and was the second call-out at the rose ceremony.

But will she make it all the way to the end?

Spoiler alert: Reality Steve and others say that Charity makes it far in the season and we might see her as part of the final four.

Instagram blogger @thebitchelorette, however, does not post spoilers. The woman who runs the account watches the episodes in real time and reacts to her thousands of followers.

The Bitchelorette did, though, make a bold prediction after the first episode.

On Instagram stories, the Bachelor Nation expert said “Charity and Kaity are my two early faves for Bachelorette. They both have that ‘it factor.’”

Of course, the influencer also said that “a lot can happen now and when the decision is made and one of them could be with Zach anyway.”

If Charity doesn’t receive the final rose, would like to see this Georgia girl be the lead on “The Bachelorette?” Email me at cmadden@mcclatchy.com and let me know!
