The Golden Bachelorette fans are upset over Gil Ramirez’s continued screen time after restraining order revelation (https://decider.com/2024/09/26/the-golden-bachelorette-gil-ramirez-restraining-order-limited-screen-time/)

Last night's episode featured "quite a bit of Ramirez — including a lighthearted look at his talent show performance and extended one-on-one time between him and Vassos," according to Decider's Nicole Gallucci. "In addition to brief reaction shots and cuts to Ramirez throughout the episode, The Golden Bachelorette showed Ramirez juggling during the talent show group date and tearfully opening up to Joan about his family and late wife in an emotional heart-to-heart." Fans expressed frustration that Ramirez was getting so much screen time. Last week, People reported on Ramirez's restraining order, which his ex took out against him after he passed the show's background check. People also reported that The Golden Bachelorette producers, based on sources, have "further edited his already limited screen time (https://people.com/golden-bachelorette-run-background-check-on-gil-ramirez-before-restraining-order-exclusive-8715685) and minimized him in promotional assets moving forward."

Joan Vassos said goodbye to Ramirez on last night's episode. Ramirez was cast after he cleared a background check. But an ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against him days before he entered the house, prompting producers to try to reduce his screentime in the editing.
