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!

If you'd asked me for my predictions early on this season of G's to Gents, I would've told you three names: Shaun, Kesan and T-Jones. Soft-spoken Shotta was barely even a blip on my radar screen, and Cee's early scheming (i.e. Operation Evict Kesan) raised too many red flags. Meanwhile, I thought I had Creepa pegged as an intimidating lout who relied on scare tactics and physical intimidation to get ahead -- like Machiavelli (or a gangsta version of the KGB!) Needless to say, not one of the final three even made it into my Top 5.
But as the season progressed, I started seeing a different side of all the guys. When Shotta started opening up about his family, I realized he wasn't quiet so much as sensitive and introspective. Cee stopped trying to smooth-talk his way out of everything and started speaking from the heart. And Creepa made the decision to ditch the street apparel after realizing that by holding onto remnants of his past life, he was holding himself back.
Do I think that all three guys made significant progress between the beginning and end of the season? Yes. But I'm not sure I agree with Fonzworth Bentley's decision to award Creepa first prize.

While I write this, a steady stream of tears trickles down both sides of my face. I look a little like Lauren Conrad after another night of friendship management. The culprit? MTV's First Gentleman, Thaddeus aka. "Creepa." (That last sentence would have packed a bigger punch if I only knew his last name.)
He had me at "Started as a Goon."
I know lots of you were rooting for Shotta to win the 100K, but how ya gonna tell me Creepa's speech wasn't truly inspirational? Like, even more inspirational than when that old lady in Titanic throws the big diamond off the boat.
Fonzworth obviously saw something special in this hard luck hothead and trusted that he would continue on his holy path towards self-respect, solid morals and a handcuff-free lifestyle. Maybe not so much with the table etiquette, but who eats escargot anyway?
Hear Fonzworth fully explain his decision to crown Creepa and give words of encouragement to the final three men (who are ALL gentlemen in my eyes).
You talkin' to me? A special g'bye to Cee...
Whaddya know? "It came down to the speeches"...
Tonight's the long-awaited G's to Gents finale, which means Fonzworth is sending one of these guys home with $100K in their pocket (or, better yet, a giant burlap sack of money with the dollar sign subtly emblazoned on the side). But first, we figured it was time to see how far these guys have come by taking another look at Cee, Shotta and Creepa's craziest moments.
And since a picture is worth 1000 words (Shhh! Don't tell our editors!) we've put together a photo montage of each guys' snazziest screengrabs. And yes, it includes Cee's infamous makeout sesh with the random club skank (page 2), Shotta's sexy sweater vest (page 3) and Creepa's historic de-blinging (page 4).
Check out scenes from tonight's season finale then flip through our glorious photo scrapbook to relive the amazingness of the GQ fashion show, the almost-eliminations and the Mr. T-inspired gold chains. (Then try not to hate Cee too much for getting to rub T-Jones' soft, buddha-like belly.)
+ WAIT! Don't forget to lose yourself in our G's to Gents photo montage!
Click on Page 2 for all things Cee, Page 3 for a lotta Shotta and Page 4 for copious amounts of Creepa. Plus, let us know which G you think deserves to win it all.
What a long, crazy season it's been on From G's to Gents. When the guys first moved in, they couldn't even handle the responsibility of living in a house with an open drinking policy. Since then, we've seen them go from blinged-out track suits to business formal and sissy sweater vests, and watched as Fonzworth schooled them on everything from the art of ingesting snails to the do's and don'ts of boardroom etiquette.
And with the finale only a day away, we want to know which of the three remaining guys you think deserves the No. 1 slot.
Is it Cee, the reformed New Jersey con man with the goldilocks, the winning smile and the propensity for breaking down on camera? Or how about Shotta, the Brooklyn baller-turned-family man who's ready to trade in his Mercedes for an S.U.V.? And don't forget Creepa, the sensitive tough guy who's changed from a gangsta caterpillar into a beautiful, bling-free butterfly right before our eyes?
+ Let us know who you think has made the biggest overall transition -- and who's just there for a quick buck and a chance to be on television.
We already heard what Fonzworth Bentley had to say about last night's From G's to Gents. And while it was interesting to hear his reasoning behind E6's exit, we had something else on our minds, namely the undeniable adorableness of everyone's family. (And yes, that includes Fonzworth's mom).
So, instead of asking you who deserved to go, we've decided to lob you a softball. Check out these classic family photos of Cee, Shotta and E6 and let us know which diaper-wearing G in the making is the absolute cutest.
Although some of us (ahem, me) are still reeling from this week's totally unfair elimination, it's time to start contemplating life after T-Jones. And no matter which G you've been rooting for this season, you don't want to miss next week's episode. Because in addition to meeting Fonzworth's mother (who, incidentally, is adorable) we also get to see Cee's ex, Shotta's little lady, E6's fam and Creepa's tense reunion with his mama. So check out these scenes from next week's G's to Gents and tune in on Tuesday. Trust me, it's what T-Jones would've wanted...
Other than Cee namedropping his little girl, we haven't really heard much about the guys' families until now. But from the looks of it, tonight's From G's to Gents gets everyone thinking about what taking home the prize money ($100K) could do for their families. And while Shotta and E6 contemplate the importance of fatherhood, Master P gives everyone a much-needed lesson on managing their finances while Cee gets emotional while pitching a business deal to some "fancy L.A. investors." Looks like tonight's show is anything but business as usual. Check out this sneak peek to find out why these guys are so determined to turn their lives around.
We've had seven chapter meetings, several surprise eliminations and more than a few second chances on this season's G's to Gents. And now, with only five gentlemen remaining, it's time to break it down and find out who's got what it takes to be the last gent standing.
