<p id=”par-1_84″>Joan Vassos sent four more love interests home on episode 2 of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/the-bachelorette/?swcfpc=1″><em>The Golden Bachelorette</em>.</a> Now down to 14 suitors, the Maryland-based widow is inching closer to finding her next great love. Before she makes a final decision, she and a couple of her contestants will enjoy some time alone in the<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-may-alluded-sex-fantasy-suites.html/”> fantasy suites.</a> Every season of the famed franchise includes a fantasy suites episode. Vassos’ episode will look much different than previous seasons. She has requested a special accommodation in her fantasy suite.</p>

<p id=”par-2_51″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-golden-bachelorette-ep-joan-vassos-tapped-lead-series.html/”>Joan Vassos is taking a different approach</a> to the fantasy suites than contestants who have come before her. ABC is careful to keep shows in <em>Bachelor Nation</em>, mostly PG-13. Still, most fans have seen enough seasons to know that things turn physical when the cameras go off in the fantasy suites.</p>

<p id=”par-3_93″>That won’t be happening for Joan Vassos, though. The Maryland native told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.facebook.com/reel/498577176395133″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Parade </a>that she had a different vision for the overnight dates than she had seen in previous seasons of <em>The Bachelorette</em> and even <em>The Golden Bachelor</em>. The mother of four revealed that she was uncomfortable with the idea of having a physical relationship with more than one man. Instead of using the fantasy suites to connect with the suitors on a sexual level, she’ll be focusing purely on the emotional intimacy that is only possible when the cameras are not on.</p>
<p id=”par-4_45″>Vassos felt so strongly about it that she asked for the bed to be removed from the room. She told the publication that she wanted to make it clear that a hookup wasn’t on the table. Removing the bed certainly sends a pretty clear message.</p>

<p id=”par-5_42″>While we are still weeks away from the fantasy suites on <em>The Golden Bachelorette</em>, Joan is having plenty of fun dating around. Not everyone can stay in the competition till the end, though. So, who exactly did she send packing this week?</p>

<p id=”par-6_47″>Bob Kilroy, a chiropractor from California who has been struck by lightning, was sent home. Christopher Stallworth, a contractor, and Michael Stevens, a retired banking CEO, also left the mansion. Jack Lencioni, a raucous early fan favorite, was the last man eliminated from the competition this week.</p>
<p id=”par-7_51″>While Jack was eliminated, a few other fan favorites are still in the competition. Keith Gordon, who received <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/who-joan-vassos-give-first-impression-rose-the-golden-bachelorette.html/”>Vassos’ first impression rose</a> last week, made it through to the next round, as did Pascal Ibgui, a French salon owner.<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/2-reasons-mark-anderson-next-golden-bachelor-1-reason-wont-be.html/”> Mark Anderson</a>, Kelsey Anderson’s father, is also still vying for Joan’s heart.</p>
