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'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!
We bid a fond farewell to Brooklyn boy Fahim on the latest episode of From G's to Gents, but that doesn't mean he's gone forever. The lovable thug has many career options (that do not include "Being Fahim"), and we've come up with a list of our favorites:
* Author: Fahim can put together a vocabulary book that includes big words such as "compatible" and "serene."
* Professional ladies' man: The former G knows just how to charm the females — and can teach others how to sniff their dates romantically, too.
* Ranch hand: Don't ask him to milk a cow (he doesn't know how), but he can definitely kill one.
* Stunt double: Seriously, this guy could fill in for DMX any day of the week. The voices are identical!
* Teacher: Remember when he threatened to "come after" hundreds of middle school students if they did drugs and the entire auditorium fell silent? Genius.
Any other potential career paths for the former Gentleman's Club member? Let us know what else you see in Fahim's future!
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?
There's been lots of talk lately in From G's to Gents-land about whether or not some of the competitors are "real G's." We kinda don't care as long as the fellas are showing weekly progress, but the uproar got us thinking: Some of these guys (ahem, Fahim!) would absolutely terrify us if we ran into them in a dark alley, but others seem so soft and cuddly that we can't imagine them ever being out on the streets. Still, that's their story and they're sticking to it!
We've already heard plenty about Baron, Blue and Mito, so here's a quick reminder of why the rest of these gentlemen-in-training needed help in the first place:
All In: The lovable teddy bear of the group has a violent side. Before coming on the show, he made money by street fighting — but suffered multiple stab wounds.
Lank: The former basketball player was dropped from his team after his temper got the best of him in an argument with his coach. To top it off, he has an affinity for guns.
Teddy: The ladies' man is into drug dealing — he even sold the illegal substances in high school to pay for expenses like field trips and school supplies.
You tell us: Do all of the remaining competitors deserve a spot in the final six, or are there some G's who you think are more legit than the rest? Sound off!
He threatened to put out his cigarette in another G's eye, told a date she smelled like fish and listed "Being Fahim" as his top career goal, so it's no shocker that Fahim finally got the boot last night from da Gentleman's Club. In fact, we were sorta wondering why he didn't get sent home earlier! Luckily, Fonzworth Bentley was recently in the office and had a sec to esplain his reasoning. Check it:
We saw this coming a couple weeks ago, but now it's finally a reality: Fonzworth Bentley officially asked Fahim to leave the Gentleman's Club. Once one of our front-runners, Fahim quickly fell from grace — starting with a threat to burn another guy's eye out with a cigarette and ending with an awesomely terrible career plan. Seriously, "Being Fahim" does not qualify as prior work experience, nor does it pass as a career goal. Nice try though, F.
It was surely his time to go, but that doesn't mean we won't miss Fahim — especially his habit of saying "big word" after not-so-big words (like "serene"). What will you miss the most about Brooklyn's resident G?
Tuesday on Detox, we became the first show in the history of the world to film an actual ROFLCOPTER taking flight!
We also got a double dose of T.I.'s Road to Redemption! After turning a down-on-her-luck girl's life around with a photo shoot, T.I. totally went all M. Knight Shamalynanonoan on us when he added a crazy twist to the follow-up episode. (Less dead people this time around tho.)
And just like on T.I., Fonzworth Bentley had a photo-shoot challenge for his G's. (Geez, don't they already indulge their egos enough as it is by starring on a reality show?! Speaking of which, I should really catch up on last week's Detox episodes just in case I missed something…) After that, things got crazy when one of the guys was kicked off for effing swearing. Sorry, Fahim! Note to Fonzworth: Quit kicking off the crazies or else we won't have anything interesting to watch! Didn't we all learn that lesson with Bromance?
That's all for Tuesday, come back tomorrow for Wednesday's Real World recap!
Although Fonzworth Bentley insisted that last night's episode of From G's to Gents focused on giving back to the community, we beg to differ: The lesson seemed to be more about frightening young children than charity. When the G's took to a local middle school to teach about the dangers of drugs and gangs, the students walked away terrified.

The fine fellas of From G's to Gents are here to experience the highs and lows of becoming gentlemen, but that doesn't mean they can't also entertain us in the process! Here are our five favorite quotes from the latest DVR-worthy episode, in which the G's learned all about chivalry (and why not to sniff their dates' hair):
5. "Ladies love me because I'm ridiculously good-looking. I've been a pimp since I was old enough to talk to girls. Like, I was 6 years old, giving out lollipops to the females and everything." — Lank
4. "If I gotta put on a suit for a girl to appreciate me, then I don't think you and I really need to be seeing each other." — Fahim
3. "When in doubt, waltz it out." — Fonzworth Bentley
2. "Fahim? A leader? He couldn't lead himself to the damn toilet." — Macho
1. "What's this about? Being nice to the ladies or some s--t?" — Casanova Fahim
+ Anything we missed? Let us know your favorite lines from last week's Gents to Gents!
