The From G's to Gents reunion was everything we hoped it would be and more: Emotional, scandalous and, most of all, hilarious. Most of the humor was brought by Houston's finest, Riff Raff, who declared that he changed his name to "Raff Riff" in honor of opposite day. Also? He just discovered that "riff raff" is another term for "trash."
We also got the chance to catch up with some of our favorite G's, including Baron, who admitted that he went back to the alcohol after he left the Gentleman's Club but is no longer letting it get the best of him. And in even better news, he's moved out of the hood and into a gated community with his family — and he's starting a foundation to help kids get off the street. That, ladies and gentlemen, is true progress.

We'll always have a soft spot in our heart for Baron, the G formerly known as "Dirty." After being dumped in a garbage bin as an infant, the gent-in-training really made something of himself during his time at the Gentleman's Club.
Alas, Fonzworth Bentley sent him packing because he felt that Baron had more important things to take care of — like his two children (and two more on the way!).

It's not easy for any of the eliminated G's to go back home after being booted from the Gentleman's Club. The bills have piled up, the baby mamas are cranky and all the old friends are back to being parasites.
Well, Fonzworth's got a three-step plan for making Baron's life more bearable during this transition: 1) Distance yourself from the bad crowds. 2) No drinking. 3) Feed your baby in a way that won't get you arrested. Check it out:
Baron had a tough go at it on the latest episode of From G's to Gents. First, he had baby mama drama when the mother of his children paid a visit to the mansion. Evidently the two don't get along that well, and we had to witness multiple arguments throughout the duration of the episode. To add insult to injury, Bentley decided to send him packing so he could take care of his family back in Miami. Talk about pouring salt in the wound!
We agree that Baron had learned all he could and ultimately needed to be elsewhere, but really, Bent? Baron was sent packing before Teddy? We disagree.
There's a reason Fonzworth Bentley's gentlemen-in-training are allowed visits from family members when it gets down to the final four. Sure, it's fun for the fellas to see their loved ones, but — more importantly — the quality time is crucial for the men to let go of their past and move forward with the support of those closest to them.
This week, Baron was visited by his son and the mother of his children, Blue got to see his grandmother and girlfriend, Mito spent time with his girlfriend and son, and Teddy was paid a visit by his girlfriend. Every visitor seemed to be on board with the fellas' progress, but some were less supportive than others (Baron's "baby mama," we're looking at you!).
We were partial to Blue's adorable grandmother and girlfriend — they even helped him stand up to his mother! — but we want to know what you think: Which G has the best support system to help him succeed once he gets back in the real world?
A new episode of From G's to Gents is almost upon us, and you know what that means: Time for more of our well-meaning (but totally inaccurate) predictions! The next episode will feature visits from the fellas' families, so you know it's gonna be good. Here's what we think might (not) happen:
* Teddy finally fills the others in on his past as a pimp, and they spend the rest of the episode trying to throw him under the bus.
* Blue, a self-described mama's boy, has a breakthrough when Bentley's mom (the First Gentlewoman?) pays a visit to the mansion.
* Drama between Baron and his "baby mama" threatens to ruin dinner for all the other fams involved.
* Mito survives the family reunion, flies under the radar and shoots straight on through to the final three.
* Teddy's girlfriend has a mini-meltdown when he asks her to stop with the prostitution, but they eventually make up (and she vows to retire from the world's oldest professio).
+ Any other predictions? Add them in the comments below and see if you're right when the next episode airs Tuesday night!
Baron seemed to be doing (almost) everything right during the G's to Gents networking challenge. Not only did B steer clear from alcohol, but he was the only member of his team to win over the party guests (including hip hop queen Faith Evans) and earn praise from The First Gentleman.
Still, there were a couple of fellas who weren't impressed with Baron's people skills -- like his teammates, Lank and Teddy, who claimed Baron's "networking" was really a pathetic attempt at garnering sympathy from the dinner guests.
+ Think Lank and Teddy saw something Fonzworth didn't? Or is this just a case of sour grapes? Let us know whether Baron should be movin' on up in this competition -- or movin' on out.
Remember way back at the beginning of the G's to Gents season when Baron got so drunk he missed the first black ball ceremony? Well, ever since then he's vowed to stay away from alcohol — and he's kept to that promise even during a trip to the club, complete with bottle service! (Blue and Mito kept an eye on Baron, who sipped on orange juice all night and still had the time of his life.) Baron also shied away from wine during the fellas' lesson on networking, much to Bentley's delight.
Gotta say, we're a little surprised that Baron stuck to his promise to avoid alcohol, even when it was put right in front of his face. So we want to know: Do you think he can keep it up?
It's March Madness in the world of college basketball ... and on From G's to Gents! The next episode of the show will narrow down our fellas from five to four -- and if we were to place money on this whole thing, we'd bet that Lank will be getting to boot, just because he seems to be making the least progress. But, as we all know, anything can happen when Fonzworth Bentley's in charge.
Time for you to place your bets: Which G do you think will be sent packing this time around? Take the poll!
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?
