Fiddy’s new reality show, 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, airs Thursdays at 10pm, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, I’ll be sifting through the ‘50 Cent Dailies‘ to make sure you’re getting your fill of the rapper-turned-mogul. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)
With Precious gone, we figured that maybe, just maybe, we'd be able to enjoy a day or so without a crazy, nonsensical screaming match. Unfortunately, we figured wrong. Watch Cornbreadd and DaJuan go from throwing insults to (nearly) throwing punches in this day-old daily and then give their roomies -- and, um, the giant security dudes -- props for preventing a full-scale smackdown. (Update: Precious is still there! That TOTALLY explains it!!)
Fiddy's latest business school flunk, Precious, appeared on a mere three episodes of 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, yet we think saw enough to get her basic gist. From maniacal stares to racial intolerance to the ever-present threat of bodily harm, Precious wasn't exactly a good example of professionalism, or sanity for that matter. But that doesn't mean we're glad to see her go! Who can we rely on now to throw nonsensical fits of rage at whim? Who else on the cast can make us viewers feel like we're being watched? She sure was a one in a million that Precious.
Sometimes it helps to get closure when a person suddenly leaves your life, but why waste more valuable time writing when a picture can say a thousand words?
In Memoriam: Precious
Team Money lost the first challenge and were forced to make the beds for Team Power ... but Precious wasn't having any of it.
Precious and DaJuan's first fight. Aww.
At the end of the premiere episode, 50 Cent called Precious "unprofessional" and attempted to scare her into submission. No such luck.
Check out our absolute fave pic of Precious after the jump!

There've been a lot of tense moments so far this season on 50 Cent: The Money and the Power. And between watching Precious yell at Nikki (and Nima...and Cornbreadd...and, well, just about everyone) and listening to Jenn and Musso argue like an old (dysfunctional) married couple, we were about thisclose to a full-scale meltdown.
And just when we were about to give up all hope (Can't they all just get along??) we stumbled across this lighthearted freestyle rap competition between Mehgan and the boys. Check out this uncharacteristic show of group camaraderie (and impromptu rap skillz!) then tune in tonight at 10 p.m. to watch tempers flare again...Ah, back to reality!
Halfway through Episode 1, we learned that Precious had a bit of a temper/anger management/volume control problem. But we've never seen anything like this before. Watch her erupt (and lash out at Larry and Cornbreadd) in this sneak peek from tonight's all-new 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, then tune in later to find out how it all plays out. And remember: The "Mute" button is your friend.

Only a few hours before the show! So why not pass the time by watching this bizarre showdown between Precious and Nima? It has everything we look for in a random-but-amazing fight -- childish name-calling, tons of witnesses, and "Yo' mama" insults. Watch Precious call Nima a female (Note: we generally prefer the term "girlie man") and then tune in tonight at 10pm for an all-new manure-tastic episode of The Money and the Power.
Yeehaw!

Last week, we waved buh-bye to Joanne and said hello to all the not-yet-eliminated housemates vying for the $100K grand prize. And while Precious and DaJuan made the strongest (although not necessarily the best) first impression, we also couldn't help but notice Nathan, the Southern gent from Calhoun, Georgia, who claims to have -- and we quote -- "more ladies than 50's got Mercedes!" (Zing!)
Not surprisingly, Nate's penchant for spewing pre-written rhymes and screaming uncontrollably has two of his roomies (Nikki and Meghan) questioning his motives. Could it be that Nathan's only in this for the free exposure, the six-figure cash advance and the super-fleeting publicity? And if not, WTF is he doing on this show??
If you want to ride with 50 Cent, you gotta prove to him you know how to handle his business. Which is why Fiddy and his underboss, Tony Yayo, are hitting the wanna-be entrepreneurs with a new lesson every week. Check out our recap of this week's lesson plan to find out which of these half-assed apprentices made the grade -- and which ones just got schooled.
How To Get All Up In Fiddy's Biznass, Ch. 1: "Choose your crew wisely [and] lead the team you've chosen to victory."
Fiddy might've wanted the guys and gals to focus on picking the right crews, but he could've just as easily called this week's lesson plan "Choose your friends -- and your enemies -- wisely." Cause in this game, if they're not with you, they're against you. And if you choose the wrong crew, you could get stuck with the kinda peeps who throws old ladies to the curb (Big ups, DaJuan!) or worse, one who hates on Asian people and "look[s] like a poor man's Lil' Kim," (You go, Precious).

On tonight's premiere of 50 Cent: The Money And The Power, Fiddy didn't seem impressed by ANY of the playas. At the end of the episode, he decided to send home the person who demonstrated the weakest leadership skills: Joanne. But was she the right choice? One might have also considered dropping Precious for her extremely unprofessional remarks about Asians, or Larry for flying under the radar. You tell us: Which contestant should have gone home?
