We've got some sad news, everybody: The second season of From G's to Gents ends tonight. But that doesn't mean the best isn't yet to come! There's an entire evening of Fonzworth Bentley and his crew lined up, starting with a cast reunion. Riff Raff brushes his teeth! All In dances! Fahim gets angry and has a heated confrontation with Bentley! There's even a proposal!
Afterward, the newest member of the Gentleman's Club will be inducted — and walk away with $100,000. Will it be Blue, Mito or Teddy? Our money's still on our original front-runner, Blue. But we hear Bentley will be enlisting the help of some special guests (formerly eliminated contestants, perhaps?) to help make his decision, so anything can happen.
Place your bets now on who you think will be the second official member of the Gentleman's Club!
This week's camping extravaganza on From G's to Gents was tough on our gentlemen-in-training, despite the fact that most of these fellas grew up in the hood. (Seriously, who knew all these hardened gangstas would be shakin' in their Timbalands at the thought of the Great Outdoors?!)
Anywho, after watching the ep, we got to thinking about who we'd like to join us during an overnight wilderness adventure. The only problem? None of these guys are up to snuff.

Much to Protege's dismay, the imaginary "alliance" responsible for his ouster came to an abrupt end this week on From G's to Gents when tensions arose between Blue and Teddy. The reason for the spat — which ended with Blue blackballing Teddy and the rest of the house blackballing Blue — came from a speech Teddy gave at the top of the episode:
"I got in my mind that if I don't win the big thing I'm still going to be all right because all the opportunities. There's so much other stuff to do. Why could you not get something out of it? After this, all of us can get agents. Hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Naturally, Blue assumed that Teddy wasn't in the house for the right reasons — but then he went and told everyone else about his suspicions, which caused him to look like a bit of a snake.
We want to know: Whose side are you on?
Among our predictions for the latest episode of From G's to Gents, we got one thing correct — and that was our suspicion that we would be totally wrong. We don't have a future in the psychic industry. And if you want proof, read further:
* First, we hoped and prayed that Teddy would strut around the campsite without a shirt — except it was freezing during the trip, thus making it necessary for all the fellas to layer up on the clothing.
* Baron never threw a temper tantrum or expressed much hesitation when it came to the wall-climbing challenge, but he did succeed by being the only one to make it all the way to the top.
* Bentley did lead the guys in a therapy session based on fortitude, but there were no delicious smores on hand. Sad.
* There were no crazy antics courtesy of All In or Lank, but one of the G's did let out some bodily noises during the slumber portion of the camping trip.
What did you think of the episode? And, more importantly, did any of your predictions come true?
The latest G's to Gents blackball ceremony was a harsh one, as its casualty was resident teddy bear All In. According to Fonzworth Bentley, the former street fighter was too concerned with helping out his peers to focus on his own progress.
It's a shame that All In was sent packing for essentially being too nice, but when it came down to him or our boy Blue getting the boot, we have to agree with Bentley's decision. Thing is, we seem to be alone on that: The other fellas were sad to see All In go and hoped Blue would be called out for being two-faced.
Who do you think should have been sent packing: All In or Blue? Take the poll!
Don't you worry about All In -- he's been keeping in touch with Bentley since From G's to Gents wrapped, and apparently the People's Champ has become quite the role model for kids in his neighborhood. Holla! Still, Fonzworth wants to make sure Mister Big Shot doesn't lose sight of his own goals while he's spreading the message. Listen to the Gentleman's Club prez explain how All In can achieve his goals...
Thanks to the outdoor challenge, this week's episode of From G's to Gents was even more amusing than usual, and now we're wishing we could go on a camping trip with all the fellas. There was a major shortage of smores (shame on you, Bentley!), but the entertainment factor more than made up for the lack of tasty snacks. Among the highlights: Baron worried about the presence of wild coyotes and "rattersnakes"; Lank explained that he can rock climb and do other nature-related activities because of his experience with graffiti; Baron, Teddy and All In spooned together in a tent assembled by six clueless G's; and All In discovered the real message of the trip: Don't be a thug, or you'll be forced to go camping. Duly noted!
Which G do you think handled the outdoors like a pro? Let us know in the comments below!
After a hiatus this past Sunday, Detox is back with a video recap of the latest episode of From G's To Gents! The good news: Grizz and Dot Com from 30 Rock stopped by Chez Detox. The awful truth: they bolted when they heard what show I was recapping. Who knew those dudes hated Mr. Bentley so much?
In all honesty, what's not to love about From G's To Gents? There's drama, suspense and life tips to boot. We learned that fortitude means camping, and we also learned what deja vu means. (Any Bromance fans might recall a similar night in the woods / life coach scenario.
Oddly enough, both shows were produced by a dude named Cris Abrego, who also produced VH1's The Surreal Life and Charm School. Hey, now that I mention it, those shows had "camping" episodes, too!
Finally, G's To Gents taught us the recipe for All In's Salad Explosion! It's just a tiny bit of lettuce, a gallon of ranch dressing and a healthy dose of "DAMN!" Watch your back, Emeril Lagasse!
So before your stomach pings from hunger, have a healthy plus-sized helping of the latest MTV Detox...
On tonight's episode of From G's to Gents, Bentley makes the decision to take the fellas out of the mansion for a day of camping and trust-building exercises. We've failed at making predictions before, but we figured we should try again. Remember, once we guess that something might happen, it usually doesn't — so don't get your hopes up!
* Teddy will strut around the campsite without a shirt on. (OK, that's just a personal dream of ours!)
* Baron will have a breakthrough on the obstacle course, despite the fact that at first he will throw a temper tantrum and refuse to participate out of fear.
* Bentley will lead the fellas in a therapy session while making smores.
* All In and Lank will dress up as bears and scare the other campers.
Anything else you want to add to the list of predictions? Let us know!
Fonzworth Bentley's G's were schooled on the importance of career goals in the latest episode of From G's to Gents. Some of them grasped the concept a little more than others (All In wants to own a strip club, Mito wants to get into real estate) ... and then there was Fahim. When the time came for him to list his career experience, he wrote "Being Fahim (Gangsta)"; when he was asked to come up with a career goal, he decided on "Being Fahim (Gentleman)." Um, close but no cigar. Bentley (and the rest of us) rightfully wondered whether Fahim was taking this whole process seriously — but some of the guys are absorbing all the information and will perhaps be successful in the future.
You tell us: Which G do you think has the most promising career path ahead of him?
