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!
A mere six days have passed since Riff Raff was eliminated from the Gentlemen's Club on From G's to Gents, but don't be too worried about this pretty thug from Houston. We've got a few ideas for how he can keep busy between now and the reunion special. Here, a list of products Riff should totes consider endorsing:
+ ROYGBIV Lip Balm: Comes in every color of the rainbow!
+ Neon facial combs: For those pesky non-beards!
+ Hair beads: And if you order now, Riff Raff will throw in a free spool of multicolored hair yarn!
+ A "How to Enunciate" Instruction Manual: Because if there's one thing Riff's good at, it's pronouncing words in a way that is easy for others to understand. Except not at all.
Any other suggestions on what Riff Raff should endorse now that he's been kicked off the show? Let us know in the comments below!
Poor Riff Raff -- even an MTV neck tattoo couldn't secure his place at the Gentlemen's Club for longer than two episodes. This G seemed surprised to have landed a failing grade for personal style, but we had a sinking feeling he wouldn't go the distance ever since we first spotted his, well, entire being.
Aside from failing to dress for success, Fonzworth had other reasons for throwing Riff Raff back onto the streets. Watch his Swagger Assessment below:
We say this with a heavy heart and a rainbow-colored tear streaming down our face: Riff Raff, the G from Houston, was asked to leave the academy on the latest episode of From G's to Gents. Our time with Riff Raff was entirely too short — we barely knew him and had yet to grow accustomed to his special language, which was slurred and required subtitles throughout most of the episode. We were only treated to a few seconds of Riff brushing his face and barely-there beard with a lime-colored comb. We witnessed only a brief verse or two of his eloquent floetry at the top of the episode (and unsuccessfully tried to transcribe the glorious rap to no avail). We only got a handful of Riff's deep thoughts, which included the compelling "What is a gentleman?"
In the end, Bentley said that he wasn't able to help the Texas native. A dramatic tantrum ensued, both justifying the reason for Riff being kicked off and proving that he desperately needs a helping hand. Or a new hairstyle.
This week, Fonzworth Bentley's G's strutted their stuff on the catwalk and sported the essentials that every man should have in his wardrobe: button-up shirts, blazers and ties. But the wannabe gents weren't the only ones getting schooled in the basics of fashion. Fahim taught us that every true G has his own set of "style essentials": hoodies, black gloves and stomping boots. Protege offered up his addition of pink shades and Riff Raff threw in some rainbow-colored pants that he says were inspired by the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Sounds like a winning outfit in our book!
In the end, the "Made Men" group of Protege, All In, Lank and Mito were voted the best-dressed (the Swagaholics were robbed, in our opinion) — but not before All In threw his cowboy hat out into a crowd of screaming women and Macho performed a mini-striptease. Ah, the life of a gentleman.
It's in every fine gentleman's DNA to know how to dress appropriately, and Bentley wastes no time this season schooling the G's on proper attire. In the Ep. 2 sneak peak of From G's to Gents, the contestants reveal their many fashion faux pas. (A bottlecap belt? It's no longer 1998, fellas.) Pay special attention to poor Riff Raff, the proud owner of an article of clothing that belongs only in the circus. (If rainbow bell-bottoms are all the rage on the streets these days, color us shocked!)
Watch the vid below in case you're still wondering why none of these men have steady office jobs.
The season two premiere of From G's to Gents was equal parts entertaining, emotional and dramatic. Plus, we even learned a thing or two from Bentley's new crop of misfits:
1) Being original means eating casseroles, wearing a bow tie and watching M*A*S*H. (Riff Raff)
2) The 305 area code of Miami represents "where the maggots be at." (Dirty)
3) The ability to milk a cow is more respectable than the ability to shoot one. (Fahim)
4) Hanging out at a gas station all day qualifies as a hobby. (JoJo)
5) G's keep their eyebrows freshly manicured and are knowledgeable about fine lingerie. (Flex)
How exciting! We can't wait for next week's lesson, but in the meantime, you tell us: What kind of new info did you pick up from the premiere of From G's to Gents? Please keep us informed -- knowledge is power!
