Update: The G's are here! The G's are here!

I tried to find a suitable photo or video to describe last night's episode, but they don't seem to exist.

It was AWESOME!

The character who made it awesome, a dude calling himself 'Pretty Ricky', seems to have been carefully edited out of all promotional stuff for the show. He flashes on screen in the trailer when all the guys are standing together, but they leave out the best bits.

The Gs were let into the mansion, where they zeroed in on a bar. Pretty Ricky got absolutely shitfaced, then had to go in for an interview. Only, they'd given him more booze by then. He commented on a woman's tits when he was given his blazer. He pissed on a wall. He generally made a giant ass of himself and it was brilliant.

Of course, he was the first to be eliminated. Luckily, a cocksucker calling himself 'The Truth' was also booted.

Looks like it will be a good series, and very funny. You gotta love MTV's ridiculous strain of reality television.

TV Review | 'From G’s to Gents'

Being a Thug Ain’t Smart, It Ain’t Chic, It Ain’t Etiquette

The evil genius of “From G’s to Gents,” a new reality show on MTV, is that it encourages exactly the kind of behavior it pretends to abhor.

I really wish they'd air this over here. Of course, there was the whole 'Ladette to Lady' thing. Even something like 'Bad Lads Army' has a similar underpinning.

But, oh... I want to hear those discussions wherein they define 'G'-ness.
