Episodes

Episode 1 - Gees Whiz First aired July 15, 2008

The G's present themselves to Fonzworth Bentley. As soon as the G's get into the house, many of them begin to bicker amongst themselves, the biggest conflict being between The Truth and around six other G's, led by the Creepa and E6. Each G is interviewed by Bentley separately over the process of the first episode. Bentley gets a chance to pick up some first impressions of the G's, for example Creepa gives off a bad first impression at first when he is seen falling asleep during his interview with Bentley, but he wakes up and takes off his "hater blockers" and told Fonzworth why he needs this. Also, Pretty Ricky comes into the interview very drunk and is unable to even comprehend what Bentley is actually asking him.

Eliminated: Pretty Ricky, for being intoxicated throughout the episode, wearing a white jacket over the traditional club blazer at the Chapter meeting and ultimately doing nothing to show he wanted to change.

Eliminated: The Truth, mainly for being extremely talkative, speaking over Mr. Bentley during the interview and disrespecting the other members. Additionally, the other contestants felt negatively towards him, most notably E6 (who he was shown having an argument with earlier in the show).

From G To GQ First aired July 22, 2008

The G's are divided into three teams and must prepare outfits for three different events. The teams are then judged based on their outfits. While D-Boy is using the restroom, Kesan says he will "fuck D-Boy's mother with Sonia's Spoon", causing the rest of the house to turn against Kesan. Cee discovers an "X" drawn on his photograph. Cee then threatens whoever drew on his photo, and offers $500 to anyone who reveals who drew on his photograph. Cee then reveals to the viewer that he is "the greatest con artist" and drew on his own photograph so that the other people in the house will pity him, thus he will be safe from elimination. Mikey P snitches to Fonzworth Bentley about Kesan's earlier threats and tells Fonzworth Bentley that he owns a four bedroom house, a motorcycle, and a car. At the elimination ceremony, Fonzworth Bentley has Kesan apologize to D-Boy, who accepts his apology.

Eliminated: Mikey P, his presence was not necessary in the mansion because he, as he told the viewers and Mr. Bentley himself, had a four-bedroom house, a car, and a motorcycle. He did not need it like others such as Shotta did, said by Mr. Bentley.

Eliminated: Zenel, he had everything going well for him with his modeling and acting career. Like Mikey, he also didn't need it.

Play Or Be Played First aired July 29, 2008

The G's learn lessons in sportsmanship and etiquette while being taught cricket, a refined gentleman's sport. When they are challenged by a bunch of young punks out to push their buttons, the G's must then take the lessons they learned on the cricket field and apply them to the basketball court. They must maintain their sportsmanlike ways or the "etiquette ref" will rule against them. Later in the house, Kesan overheard Cee and D-Boy talking about him taken out of the house. He decided that he was going to get out, but Shaun stopped to talk to him and Creepa came later. Both of them helped Kesan move back in, but were confronted by D-Boy and E6. Kesan later talked to Fonzworth Bentley about his situation and he decided to stay.

Eliminated: J Boogie mentioned that he worked as an office assistant and in a laboratory so Mr. Bentley did not feel as if J Boogie needed to be in the competition as much as the other participants.

Buckle Down or Bottoms Up First aired August 6, 2008

The gents were asked to write resumes within one hour to present to Sean Yazbeck, the winner of season 5 of the Apprentice. Kesan was praised for his ability to convince the CEO. Because his resume was so exaggerated, it angered other contestants who were given criticism on their resumes. Soon after, they were split up into groups of three to create a marketing campaign for the world-music group Thunderkatz. They were given a night to work on it, and Kesan, Shotta, and E6 worked all night, eventually leading to their challenge win. T-Jones, however, became drunk and did no work. In the end, Cee, Stan, Shaun, and T-Jones were blackballed and at risk. Shaun and Cee were told to rejoin the group, leaving Stan and T-Jones in the bottom two. Bentley announces that Stan is safe, and T-Jones breaks into tears. As T-Jones discusses his actions with Bentley, Bentley discovers that T-Jones is homeless, and feels that he is sincere about his changing, warning him that this will be his last chance to change.

Eliminated: None

Ladies Night At The Club First aired August 12, 2008

The Gents were given a lesson in chivalry and were then asked to host a "female fan appreciation" party for superstar group Danity Kane. The Gents were unaware that all the ladies were actually going to judge them on their chivalry skills. Stan was in fear of elimination because he allowed some of the women talk him into letting them take a body shot off of him. Kesan thought it was best to focus on two of the elderly females there to make them feel more welcome in a house full of younger men and women but it was overlooked and Kesan said in an interview, "being the teachers pet doesn't pay off." T-Jones won the competition and was chosen unanimously by all the women to be the most chivalrous. At the end of the night there was a confrontation between Kesan and Creepa after Kesan was on the phone with his girlfriend too long resulting in Kesan being put into a playful choke hold by his "big brother" (Creepa). Kesan didn't sleep that night and went around the next day threatening his house mates' sleep time with a knife. Due to the constant disagreement with the rest of the group as well as him explaining his anger problem, Kesan was ejected out of the house/club after the others had an intervention with Bentley about it.

Eliminated: Kesan, because he had threatened his other house mates in the club for his revenge.

Real Talk, Seriously Speaking First aired August 19, 2008

The Gents were given a lesson on eloquence. They were tested on conversing in talking about the given pictures in an art gallery. Team B (Stan, Shaun, Creepa, and D-Boy) was ahead 3–0, when Team A (Cee, T. Jones, Shotta, and E6) caught up, eventually winning the challenge and immunity. They also won a trip to a club, paid exclusively from Mr. Bentley. Cee was caught kissing a girl, which T. Jones didn't like. During elimination, Shaun, D-Boy, and Stan were all at risk and two were to be eliminated. Shaun explained that he voted for himself, leaving Mr. Bentley disappointed and rejecting him membership. D-Boy stated he wanted to be here and wanted to leave a changed man with or without the $100,000. Stan was eliminated because his problem cannot be solved in the club.

Eliminated: Shaun, because he felt he has been changed already and thinks he doesn't need the money.
