The excitement of “Golden Bachelorette” seems to have faded a bit—no offense to the vibrant first senior bachelorette, Joan Vassos.

While audiences were still enjoying the happy moments of “Golden Bachelorette” Episode 1, where 24 hopefuls came to compete for Joan, 61, unsettling news broke on Friday. Legal documents revealed that contestant Gil Ramirez, 60, has a temporary restraining order filed against him, citing instances of emotional harassment dating back to May. This restraining order was dismissed in July during a hearing over “lack of prosecution,” according to court records.

Once the producers learned of the legal situation—which came to light after initial background checks but before the summer filming of “Golden Bachelorette”—they chose to “further edit” Ramirez’s already minimal screen time, according to a source close to the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Despite the editing efforts, there are still constraints on reducing an already small appearance. Ramirez is still seen in Wednesday’s Episode 2, where he shares his life story with Joan and converses with the camera before receiving a rose from her, though he isn’t seen as a serious contender.

Here’s a recap of what unfolded in Wednesday’s “Golden Bachelorette.”

The ‘Golden Bachelorette’ prom features Taylor Dayne. Who was crowned king?

The group prom date for the Golden Bachelorette is a fun, nostalgic event, complete with some amusingly tacky tuxedos for a select group from the Bachelor House. Those who opt not to wear ruffled shirts are not too fazed, as many take the chance to indulge in refreshing naps.

Taylor Dayne is a fitting choice for the prom performer. Jordan, a 61-year-old Chicago sales executive, shares with Joan that he once went on a date with the “Tell It To My Heart” singer five years ago and claims that she remembered the encounter during their off-camera chat. It makes one wonder where the “Golden Bachelorette” cameras were at that moment.

Mark, 57, is seen spiking the punch bowl while various levels of dancing and some touching moments unfold. After showcasing his moves, Charles L., 66, reflects on his late wife while sitting in the glitter-strewn bleachers, a sentiment he later shares with Joan, who has also experienced loss with her long-time husband. Charles eventually receives a rose. However, Jonathan, 61, steals the prom night spotlight—not just because of his daring shirtless tuxedo and bold dance moves but also because he opens up about being the only student of color in his Catholic high school and how his date canceled on him a week before prom. Joan wisely crowns Jonathan with the Prom King title and gives him a well-deserved rose, marking him as a major contender.

Chock, 60, impresses Joan on their one-on-one date at Disneyland, which serves as a clever promotion for the theme park owned by ABC’s parent company, Walt Disney Company. Meanwhile, Dan, 64, gets a rose and a date after excelling in the talent show.

Is snoring the new scandal in the ‘Bachelor House’?

Last year, the women on “Golden Bachelor” humorously discussed the gas-inducing properties of the Bachelor House’s guacamole. This time, snoring is the latest topic of contention—allegedly attributed to Gregg. The retired university VP, 64, shares a room with French-born Chicagoan Pascal, 69, who prefers to sleep naturally and in silence. He’s not thrilled about Gregg’s nighttime noises.

Gregg admits to the camera, “Waking up to a naked Frenchman punching me was quite a shock,” as he claims to be unaware of any snoring. However, the evidence suggests otherwise. With both men receiving roses from Joan, this may become an ongoing situation.

Mark Anderson update amidst the buzz of ‘Hot Dad’

Mark Anderson continues to shine in early rounds of “Golden Bachelorette,” even without putting in much effort (or dance moves at the prom). But wow, the internet’s favorite “Hot Dad,” 57, nailed his blue prom tuxedo. During his time with Joan, he charmingly asks for a kiss in German, starting off the show with a memorable moment that is extended later on. Joan agrees.

The kiss that just happened has turned out to be the most memorable one of the season so far.

Cannonball Jack made his mark but left the house. Who else bid farewell?

Oh no, Jack! He was gone WAY too soon. The incredibly entertaining caterer from South Side Chicago, aged 68, entered the house singing “My Way,” and he lived out Sinatra’s timeless lyrics so perfectly during his brief time, showcasing joyful cannonballs into the pool. A whole episode could be devoted to Jack’s thoughts on not having a grilling spot, yet still sharing his candid opinions like, “I prefer my burgers rare” and “The burgers are ready now, just so you know.”

Perhaps it was Jack’s entertaining sock puppet act during the talent show that made him too colorful for Joan’s preferences. He exits with grace, wearing his charming smile, as the remaining contestants applaud him enthusiastically. On his way out, Jack pauses for one final rendition of “My Way” for the camera, joined by rose-less Christopher, 64, from West Babylon, New York. A priceless moment indeed.

Here’s a list of others who did not receive roses from Joan and departed the show:

Bob, 66, a chiropractor from Marina Del Rey, California

Michael, 65, a retired banking CEO from Denver, North Carolina
