The final episode of From G's to Gents kicked off with a ride on a private jet and was filled with plenty-o-drama for the rest of the hour. The most shocking moment (for us, at least) came when Season One's Creepa and Shotta — and not this season's former contestants — returned to help Fonzworth Bentley narrow the final three men down to two. They ultimately sent Teddy packing, but not before Bentley surprised everyone by inviting Shotta, last season's runner-up, to become an official member of the Gentleman's Club. It's great to see that last year's men have stayed on the straight and narrow!
But let's get down to the main event, shall we? Fonzworth crowned Mito as the ultimate gentleman in an emotional final chapter meeting (we may or may not have shed a few tears!). But that's not all: Bent also told Blue that, although he wasn't crowned the winner, he was accepted into the Gentleman's Club as well and would have housing for an entire year while he gets back on his feet. Everyone's a winner!

What a long, strange trip it's been. Throughout Season 2 of From G's to Gents, we got to know a variety of hard mo-fos -- drunks, bullies, deadbeat dads and so on -- who were looking to change their ways. And on tonight's episode, we witnessed the final transformation of Blue and Mito into proper gentleman. (Note: Daily maintenance is required.)
Hear from Bentley below about why he awarded Mito the moolah and also allowed Blue a permanent place in the Gentleman's Club. Plus, after the jump, Fonzy tells runner-up Teddy why it was so hard to let him go.

All our gentlemen-in-training had their hands full this week during the From G's to Gents family visits. And while Teddy and his girl debated the pros and cons of big pimpin', Blue had to deal with both his grandmother and girlfriend AND confront his mother via telephone, as ordered by Mr. Bentley.
You see, our boy Blue was feeling guilty about leaving his mom behind with a shoddy roof over her head and bills piling up, but he thought it was in the fam's best interest for him to go off on his own to better himself. And it took a couple phone calls, lots of tears and a handwritten letter, but Mama Blue finally let her son know that she supported him no matter what. (Awwwwww.)
Meanwhile, we're still torn on the issue. On the one hand, Blue's abandoning his family to appear on a tv show (and there's only a 1 in 16 chance that he'll actually walk away with the prize money). On the other hand, maybe it's time for him to stop worrying about his mother 24/7 -- and start thinking about himself.
What do you think: Should Blue feel bad about leaving his family behind? Or is he doing the right thing by trying to better himself on G's to Gents?
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!
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!
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?
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!
