Should I remove the bloom?

I have an Ice Cream that has fruit and I'm wondering about if I should remove the bloom.

It has set it's bananas and now under each petal that opens, there are must sterile flowers that fall off almost immediately after the petal lifts up.

I was told by some friends in Hawaii that I should cut off the purple bloom at the end and that would encourage the bananas to grow and ripen.

Any suggestions as to whether I should really do this or not?
