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.
No one's denying that Lank's got a gift for making people laugh. In fact, Fonzworth Bentley describes him as one of the "top three" funniest dudes in G's to Gents history. But there comes a time in every gentleman's life when he needs to stop clowning around -- and start getting serious. And according to the Fonz, Lank's nonchalant 'tude is what cost him the game.
Watch this week's Swagger Assessment and find out why the First Gentleman says it's all about playing the hand you're dealt. And not about screaming "reverse racism" because you couldn't even be bothered to ante up.
As the majority of you predicted, Lank was sent packing on the latest episode of From G's to Gents. When it came down to it, Fonzworth Bentley said that Lank didn't necessarily do anything wrong — he just didn't do enough right. For instance, during the networking challenge, Lank revealed that he was awarded a college scholarship for basketball, but he squandered the opportunity. Fonzy and the fellas started to consider that Lank really did have all the tools he needed to succeed -- he just doesn't know how to use them.
Do you agree with Bentley's decision to give Lank the boot? Sound off!
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.

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?
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!
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!
We'll just come right out and admit it: We kinda hate From G's to Gents' Lank. We're not sure what it is about him, other than the fact that he spent the latest episode picking on Mito, who has quickly become a favorite of ours. Lank just hasn't impressed us much over the course of the season, and to hate on Mito because he isn't acting like a G is just stupid (that is the point of this whole thing, after all). The only good thing he has going for him? He's friends with fan favorite Blue, so maybe he's not that bad of a guy...
But wait! Imagine our — and Lank's — surprise when it was revealed that his lone black ball was not courtesy of Mito. Blue secretly admitted that he was the one to black ball Lank, but never gave a reason. So you tell us: Why do you think Blue black balled his so-called buddy?
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!
