Ep. 6 | The Model Boss

For this week's lesson, Mr. Bentley has the entrepreneur Michael Malin come in to talk to the seven remaining gents about their career goals. Because Michael won the reality show Big Brother All Stars and used his prize money to start the successful restaurant and nightclub business, the Dolce Group, Mr. Bentley thinks he's the ideal person to counsel the G's on this topic. First, Michael has all the G's list out three previous jobs they've had and what their ultimate career goal is. When Mito's job history includes such "real" professions as plumber and caregiver, some of the other G's question how much of a G he really is. Meanwhile, Fahim puzzles everyone when he lists "being Fahim" and "gangsta" as previous jobs and "being Fahim" and "gentleman" has his career goals. Mr. Bentley worries that Fahim's not really taking it seriously. When Baron talks about his job history, he admits that his temper has cost him a lot of jobs and a lot of the other G's have had the same experience. While Michael understands their frustrations, he suggests that if they really think about it, their anger probably isn't worth losing a job over.

To utilize the skills Michael has taught them, Mr. Bentley reveals that the G's will be in charge of putting together a publicity photo shoot for hip-hop star E-40's new album. As excited as the G's are to meet E-40, they will also have to deal with makeup artists, models, props, the photographer, wardrobe and more to make the shoot a success. Imagine everyone's shock when Mr. Bentley names Fahim the boss for this project! Even though he bombed in the workshop, Mr. Bentley wants to give Fahim the chance to show what he can do. After the shoot is finished, Bentley and E-40 will decide which of them was the most valuable employee and that G will be safe from elimination. What the guys don't know is that both Mr. Bentley and E-40 will be watching them prepare via hidden cameras.

Mito and Baron take over the "creative" department, handling the wardrobe and props for the shoot. Teddy and Lank are in charge of "talent" and must meet all of E-40's demands, as well as make sure the models are all happy. All In and Blue handle the "production" aspects and must keep things clean and make sure everyone has what they need. The problem is, Fahim seems to think his only job is assigning the other G's positions and when people have questions for him, he pawns them off on other people. Bentley and E-40 are not impressed when they see Fahim yelling at the other G's and spending his time sweeping and picking up trash. Fortunately, Teddy steps up his game and picks up Fahim's slack.

Things come to a head when one of the models is complaining to Fahim about not having anywhere to change, prompting Fahim to drop the c-word. Mr. Bentley can't believe that one of his guys would say such a thing and immediately apologizes to E-40. Seeing that Fahim is falling apart, Mito takes over the shoot and begins setting up the models himself. Lank and Teddy, however, are annoyed that Mito's acting like the boss because they're supposed to be in charge of the models.

Fahim continues to disappoint when E-40 returns and Fahim has to have Mito come over to explain the concept of the shoot. Although Bentley finds the photo shoot to be a bit scattered, he admits that they did a pretty good job for it being their first time -- especially with someone like Fahim in charge! When Mr. Bentley reveals that he and E-40 had been watching them the entire time, everyone knows Fahim's about to get in trouble. Sure enough, Bentley calls him out for not participating and for dropping an obscenity that he should never use, especially in the workplace. Impressed with how hard he worked and his handling of some fairly difficult models, E-40 names Teddy the most valuable employee and saves him from elimination. Because the boss is the one who gets the credit in the real world, Mr. Bentley announces that Fahim will get to choose one other G to join him to chill with E-40. Although Mito pushes hard to go, Fahim decides to take Lank because he's funny.

After an awesome evening with E-40, Lank returns to the house and stirs up trouble by accusing Mito of stealing his job and taking over the role of the boss. The argument reaches a boiling point when Lank accuses Mito of faking being a G to get on the show, despite the fact that Mito's been to jail. The two of them go into "street mode," threatening to fight each other. While Fahim and Baron are content to watch and hope that the fight will send one or both of them home, All In intervenes and pulls Lank away.

With the fight over, Mito worries that the other G's have seen a side of him that might get him blackballed. Likewise, Lank knows he has to blame Mito for the fight in order to ensure his own safety. When Mr. Bentley reveals that Lank has gotten one vote, Lank immediately begins bashing Mito. But there's a twist -- Mito wasn't the one who voted for Lank. Although he doesn't know it, Blue was the one who voted him in for losing his cool at the end of the challenge. The same fight starts up again when Mito tries to defend the fact that five people voted for him, saying that they did so because they're intimidated by his success. Lank brings up the violence from the night before and continues to argue that Mito doesn't need to be there because he's already a gentleman, but Mr. Bentley thinks they're all missing the point: it's all about who's progressing and really trying to change.

Joining Lank and Mito in the bottom three is Fahim, who Mito admits voting for. When Lank and Mito begin arguing again over their fight, Mr. Bentley reminds everyone that they need to be thinking about the big picture and asks Fahim, Lank and Mito what they'd be returning home to if they're eliminated tonight. While Lank and Fahim say they'd return home to the same position they left, Mito says he'd be asking for his job back and trying to teach his son how to be a gentleman. This is what Bentley wants to hear and he sends Mito back to safety. Although Fahim claims that he's changing, Mr. Bentley hasn't seen enough progression and ultimately sends him packing.

Ep. 5 | The Grizzly Gang

With Macho out of the house and only eight G's left, some of the guys are feeling better than others. Prote'ge' tells his fianc� he's convinced there's an alliance of Teddy, Lank and Blue and that he'll be the next one they blackball.

Fonzworth Bentley announces that the G's fifth lesson will be on giving back, and will be led by his good friend and senior minister of LA's Church of the Harvest, Bishop Clarence. He teaches the G's about the importance of finding a cause close to their hearts, donating (whether it be money or their time) and helping raise awareness.

Hopefully the G's learned something, because for their next challenge they'll be raising awareness on important causes by writing a play for a group of kids in Inglewood. Because they've both been personally affected by the causes the plays will be about, Bentley selects Blue and Baron to be team captains. After Blue selects Teddy, Lank and Prote'ge' and Baron chooses Mito, All In and Fahim, Bentley reveals that Blue's topic will be "anti-gang" and Baron's cause will be "don't do drugs." The winning team captain will be safe and have the opportunity to save one of his other teammates.

Fonzworth Bentley provides the teams with the concept, characters, props and costumes and the G's will have two hours to come up with the dialogue. Prote'ge' is miffed when Blue, Teddy and Lank snatch up the good parts and stick him with the role of a cheerleader. Prote'ge's team gets frustrated when he slacks off during practice. Meanwhile, for their anti-drug message, Baron decides to don a bunny clown suit for a hallucination scene.

When they arrive at the school, Blue realizes that it's the actual middle school he attended and feels all the more pressure to succeed. Baron's team takes the stage first, but Bentley isn't sure the kids really get the anti-drug message when they start laughing at the site of Baron dancing around stage in a clown bunny costume. The kids give the play an enthusiastic round of applause, but Bentley thinks it must be because they've had too much sugar -- because the play didn't warrant that kind of response!

After hearing the loud cheers for the first play, Blue's team knows they have to step it up for the win. Prote'ge' continues to let them down by refusing to take his pants off from under the cheerleading skirt and not being terribly enthusiastic in his small role. Although the crowd goes wild when Blue emerges in a bear suit as the leader of the "Grizzly Gang," the team is worried because they know they heard more laughter for Baron's play. But Blue manages to really get the message home when he talks to the audience the true story of how his mom stood in front of a gun and prayed for his safety when he was in a gang, saving his life. The crowd rewards Blue by naming his team the winner, granting him safety from elimination.

Baron calls his buddy to vent after the loss and learns that his girlfriend is pregnant with twins. When he talks with his girlfriend, Baron realizes how bad the money situation is and worries that it might be time for him to leave and take care of her.

Fonzworth Bentley calls everyone together so Blue can announce who he's chosen to save that night. After calling out Prote'ge' for his lack of participation, Blue decides to save Lank for his comedy skills. As it turns out, Baron has an even tougher decision to make as the captain of the losing team: which one of his teammates will face elimination that night. Baron ultimately sends in Mito, because he felt it was Mito's duty to make sure the audience knew the clown bunny was a hallucination.

Mito is very upset, feeling that Baron should have taken responsibility as team captain and the one who came up with the bunny idea. He's all the more irritated when afterwards, Baron refuses to talk to him or make eye contact. Mito begins heckling Baron while he plays pool, his temper quickly growing out of control. Eventually, Mito storms out, slamming the door behind him.

Fearing the blackball ceremony, Prote'ge' decides he's not going down without a fight and accuses Blue, Teddy and Lank of being in an alliance. Teddy points out that the three of them have rarely voted for the same person and Blue insists he called Prote'ge' out because he missed most of their team's rehearsals.

Baron goes to see Bentley and tell him that he needs to go home to take care of his bills and pregnant girlfriend. Bentley asks Baron to slow down and think about how he's actually going to earn this money and points out that if Baron goes back to his old life, it will just lead to another dead end. He convinces Baron to at least wait until the chapter meeting to decide.

After the G's vote in the blackball ceremony, Bentley gathers them together for the chapter meeting. He tells them all how proud he is of their performances for the kids before revealing which of them have received the most votes and will face elimination. Baron has one ball (which he knows is from Mito), Teddy has one (which is he knows is from Prote'ge') and Prote'ge' has a whopping six votes.

When Prote'ge' again brings up the alliance, Bentley asks the other G's if they believe there's on in the house and nobody else agrees with him. As a result, Teddy is the first G Bentley sends back to safety. Mito earns his safety by giving a tearful plea for a second chance.

With only Prote'ge' and Baron left, Fonzworth Bentley asks Baron if he's made up his mind yet and that he believes in him -- it's just a matter of Baron believing in himself. Baron is so moved by Bentley's faith in him that he decides to stay. Bentley denies Prote'ge's membership because, ultimately, he may have talked a big game but his actions didn't back it up.

Ep. 4 | Waltz It Out

Fonzworth Bentley gathers the remaining G's for a lesson in chivalry, instructed by etiquette and body language coach Paul Cuneo. But there's a twist: before the lesson, Bentley picks Teddy, All In and Fahim to be team captains. After each captain selects two G's to be on his team who will take part in the lesson with Paul while the captains sit out. It will be up to the team members to relay the lesson to their team captain, who will use the information on the upcoming challenge.

Unfortunately for Macho and Baron, Fahim gets drunk and doesn't really want to pay attention to their instructions. Lank decides to teach All In by pretending to be All In's date, but both get upset about Prote'ge's lack of participation. Teddy is impressed by Blue and Mito's instructions and certain that he's on the "dream team."

With the lessons complete, Fonzworth Bentley reveals that each team captain will be going on a date with model and actress Esther Baxter and have an earpiece so their team of "wing men" can give him instructions throughout. Although All In forgets Esther's name partway through the date, he recovers nicely by saying it's because he was distracted by her beauty. Teddy gets into some trouble when Esther starts to grind on him on the dance floor, but impresses even Bentley by teaching her to "waltz it out" instead. Things go from bad to worse when a drunken Fahim not only sniffs Esther, but tells her she smells like fish. When Fahim pulls out his earpiece, Macho busts into the date and tells Esther Fahim was a joke and he's her real date. Before anyone knows what's going on, Frederick comes in and announces that the date is finished.

With the dates complete, Esther announces that she can't decide between All In and Teddy. Bentley makes the decision based on the team and grants Teddy, Mito and Blue safety from elimination because they worked together, while Prote'ge' did little to help Lank and All In. Still, Bentley decides to reward their team's success by allowing them to join the winners for a V.I.P. night on the club. Prote'ge' continues to alienate his team by trying to get girls numbers at the club, even though he has a child and fiance back home.

Back at the house, Macho tries to save himself by blaming the failure on Fahim. Prote'ge' also criticizes Fahim's behavior, causing Fahim to lash out at him in front of everyone. Blue expresses disappointment in Prote'ge's behavior the night before and gets even more upset when Prote'ge' denies asking for the girl's number. Determined to protect himself, Prote'ge' goes to Bentley and tells him about Fahim threatening him earlier in the day. Bentley warns Fahim that he needs to start showing an effort to change if he wants to stick around.

Once everyone has voted, Fonzworth Bentley reveals that Prote'ge' has two votes, Macho has three and Fahim has received five. After Bentley sends Prote'ge' back to join the others, Macho again tries to point out Fahim's flaws. Although Bentley gives Fahim a strict warning about threatening his peers, it's ultimately Macho that he sends home.

Ep. 3 | Slip Of The Tongue

The twelve remaining G's awake to find The Daily Gent instructing them to meet in the Chapter Room for their next lesson. As they get dressed for the day, the nearly eliminated Macho brags about how ready he is to change. Unfortunately, his attitude continues to annoy and alienate several of his peers.

This week's lesson deals with the importance of eloquence and proper speech. To help the G's, Fonzworth Bentley has brought in English teacher Peter Franklin. Peter attempts to teach the G's proper diction and speech with pronunciation cards and tongue twisters like "how much wood would a wood chuck chuck is a wood chuck could chuck wood." Although some struggle, Bentley is impressed by how enthused the G's are about this lesson.

With the lesson complete, Bentley reveals that the G's will be using what they've learned in this week's challenge: a rap battle. After splitting them up into two teams of six, Bentley reveals that only three people from the winning team will be safe from elimination and the team will have to decide who has earned safety.

As the teams go to work, A-Felon and A.D. decide that no matter what happens, Macho needs to go home. While the rest of Team 1 (Six Figures) goes to work writing up verses, JoJo ditches them to start drinking because he's not really into the whole rapping thing. Meanwhile Team 2 (Composed Gentlemen) decides the only fair thing to do is pull names out of a hat beforehand so they know who will be safe if they win.

When they get to the club, Fonzworth Bentley reveals a twist: instead of a rap battle, they'll be competing in a "Rhetoric Duel." Each team will be given a topic and select one person to come up and rap on that topic using proper grammar with no slang or cursing. Platinum selling recording artist Chamillionaire will judge the duel.

Six Figures seems to be the clear leader when Mito and Teddy win the first two rounds, however Composed Gentlemen come back when Prote'ge' automatically wins because a drunken JoJo is disqualified for cursing. Things get worse when A-Felon gets distracted by Macho "licking" at him from the audience and walks off the stage before Chamillionaire can announce the winner.

With the teams tied, Lank and Mito face off on the topic of "Fame." Faced with a tough decision between the two, Chamillionaire let's the crowd voice their decision. The overwhelming majority cheers for Lank, who wins the battle for the Composed Gentlemen.

Back at the mansion, A-Felon calls Macho out for licking his lips at him during the battle. Macho is furious at the insinuation that he's gay, but A.D. and several of the other G's support A-Felon's accusation. Somehow, Macho manages to keep his cool and remove himself from the situation.

Disappointed in how much the G's reverted back to old behavior during the challenge, Fonzworth Bentley calls everyone together the next morning for a lecture. Bentley points out that the people who stick to the rules and take things seriously are the ones showing him that they need and want to be there. A-Felon tries to insist that he gained a lot from the experience, but Bentley says that walking off-stage during the battle suggested otherwise.

While the other G's try to decide who to blackball, Macho goes to see Bentley about the A-Felon accusation. He admits that A-Felon and A.D. really offended him and Bentley agrees that Macho is certainly not getting respect from his peers. But to be fair, he decides to meet with A-Felon and hear his side of the story. A-Felon admits that he handled the situation inappropriately, but Bentley thinks he's gone beyond inappropriate. Although A-Felon tries to argue that he can't change overnight, Bentley isn't convinced he's seen enough change from this G. Bentley calls in A.D. to try and really get to the bottom of the issue, but AD denies having any involvement in the altercation at all.

With Lank, Baron and Prote'ge' safe from elimination, Bentley looks to see who how the G's voted. He's surprised to find out that JoJo has voted for himself because of his bad behavior. When Macho sees that five people have voted for him again, he claims it's because of an alliance of people against him. Bentley isn't quite sure what to believe, but knows Macho's behavior is not appropriate for the Gentlemen's Club. Joining Macho to face elimination are A-Felon, A.D. and JoJo.

First to go is JoJo, for getting drunk in a public place. When it's time to decide the next G to go home, A-Felon points out that Macho has again gotten five votes against him. Bentley reminds A-Felon that he makes the final decision and sends Macho back to safety. Because A.D. and A-Felon crossed the line with the "tongue" situation, Bentley decides to eliminate both of them.
