MTV has a new reality show-and this one’s way more awesome than Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods. It’s called From G’s to Gents, and it’s hosted by Fonzworth Bentley, and it premiered this past Tuesday at 10 pm. And it’s awesome. Oh we said that already? Yeah, well; its that awesome.
The premise takes 14 G’s (We’re not sure what the G stands for -- Gangsta’s? Goons? Guys you can’t understand what they’re saying?) and has them compete in challenges designed to turn them into gentlemen. Each week, one G gets eliminated, until the last remaining G -- theoretically now a gentleman -- wins a hundred thousand dollars. So yes, it’s basically an all-male version Beauty and the Geek, Top Model and Flavor of Love; they've even got a token stripper!
The first episode proved to be a real gem, with the G’s immediately hitting the bottle (some of them hilariously harder than others), and a heartfelt Creepa taking off his “haterblockers” (that’s G-speak for “sunglasses”) to show his dedication to change. Here’s where G’s to Gents has Top Model beat: both shows have some crazy bitches on them, but there are some guys here who seriously want to change for the better. We’re already rooting for T-Jones and Creepa, the little sweethearts. You should too!
