The Golden Bachelorette: In which episode was each contestant eliminated?
Episode 1: Bill, David, Ken, Pablo, RJ, and Thomas
Episode 1 introduced The Golden Bachelorette to her 24 potential suitors who tried to grab her attention with their first impression. After spending some time with the contestants, Joan gave her 'first impression rose' to Keith. After struggling through the rose ceremony, Joan handed out her other roses to 18 men.
Bill, David, Ken, Pablo, RJ, and Thomas stood without a rose and had to leave the show on the premiere night.
Episode 2: Bob, Christopher, Jack, and Michael
During week 2, Joan went on two group dates and a one-on-one date. After sharing his prom-related heartache, Jonathan was crowned the prom king and received a group date from the Golden Bachelorette.
Joan invited Chock for the first solo date of her season, and the pair visited to Disneyland. The contestant received a solo date rose after the couple bonded over their shared experiences of loss.
Dan won the talent show during the second group date and received a rose for his ribbon dance. Bob, Christopher, Jack, and Michael failed to stand out during week 2 and were sent home at the end of the episode.
Episode 3: Charles K., Gregg, and Kim
Pascal received the first solo date rose of week 3 after opening up about his humble beginnings to Joan. The rest of the men competed in a kickball game, with Gil's team emerging victorious and the contestant receiving a group date rose.
Joan entered the rose ceremony after handing her second solo date of the week to Jonathan. Kim sang his exit song after being eliminated, in addition to Gregg and Charles K.
Episode 4: Charles L., Dan, Gary, and Gil
In episode 4, the men participated in a charity strip tease event where Chock stood out, impressing Joan, and received the group date rose. While the contestant left the show due to his mother's passing, he returned to the rose ceremony to continue his journey with Joan.
Later in the episode, Jordan and Guy each received a solo date rose after bonding with Joan during their respective ice-skating and cooking dates. By the end of the episode, Charles L., Gary, Dan, and Gil found themselves without a rose and were eliminated from the competition.
Episode 5: Mark, Keith, and Jonathan
Joan refrained from handing out any roses during the date to spend more quality time with the contestants before the hometown's week. She began the episode with a solo date and took Keith on a helicopter ride and a winery visit.
