Blue, the runner-up, was inducted as a member into the Gentleman's Club.
Reason for Elimination
Name | Reason for Elimination | Eliminated |
---|---|---|
Roq Monte | Was more into being a model, and neither the other contestants nor Mr. Bentley felt he belonged at the Gentlemen's Club. | Episode 1 |
Flex | Flex was more interested in working out in the gym, and lacked respect amongst his peers. | Episode 1 |
Dre | Owns his own clothing line and had already established his business. | Episode 1 |
RiFF RaFF | He was in the competition simply for the money, and Mr. Bentley felt that Riff Raff's problems were beyond his help. | Episode 2 |
Jojo | Jojo was intoxicated during the rap battle challenge, and was subsequently disqualified for cursing. He later blackballed himself. | Episode 3 |
A-Felon | Walked off the stage during the rap challenge, and hurled insults at Macho afterwards. In addition, Mr. Bentley decided that he hadn't seen enough change to warrant A-Felon staying. | Episode 3 |
A.D. | Eliminated along with A-Felon due to his part in the insulting of Macho, despite having denied any involvement in the incident. He also tried to put all the blame on his closest ally. | Episode 3 |
Macho | Besides losing the respect of his peers, Mr. Bentley's "three strikes" rule also came into effect as this was Macho's third time called onto the carpet. | Episode 4 |
Protégé | Never made any significant progress. Mr. Bentley claimed he spoke a good game, but could not back it up. | Episode 5 |
Fahim | Mr. Bentley cited his ongoing lack of progress in the competition, with the final straw being his poor performances in the career counseling session and photo shoot challenge. | Episode 6 |
All In | He was too focused on helping others instead of himself, which had stunted his progress. | Episode 7 |
Lank | Mr. Bentley felt that Lank had chosen not to take advantage of past opportunities he had been given, due to his attitude. | Episode 8 |
Baron[1] | Mr. Bentley felt that Baron needed to go home and apply the changes he learned at the Gentlemen club to his life at home. | Episode 9 |
Teddy Tee | Mr. Bentley felt as though he could not see Teddy representing the Gentleman's Club because of his past deeds. Bentley did say to Teddy that he'd revisit him in 6 months to see if he truly did want to change and to be sure that he would not revert to pimping. | Episode 10 |
Blue | After thinking about the progress Shotta made in the past season, Mr. Bentley felt that Blue should earn the money to boost up his confidence. However, he was warranted a membership in the Gentleman's club and a year of housing | Episode 10 |
