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.

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!
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!
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?
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!
