The Pickup Artist

[Dylan Thomas]

This is one of those show that I can’t help but watch, it's so stupid that it's good.

You have 3 ego maniac douche bags, who probably had major self conscious issues, dressing in ridiculous clothes, teaching nerds how to pick up women. All while giving out these goofy power ranger medallions.

Mystery- wears those early nineties goggle glasses! What a fucking dork! Seriously who wears goggles on their head? Do women really find this guy attractive?

Matador- Seems pretty down to earth and isn’t all flashy with goofy clothing, he's pretty normal.

J Dog- Okay the dude with the blonde hair and black stripes. I'm not the only one who thinks this dude is gay right? Seriously I think J Dog might be gay. He’s pretty quiet and almost seems like he should be part of the student group rather than a sidekick.

[Mighty Mouse]

this show is brilliant. i can't even explain how depressed i was when spoon kicked himself off of the show. ughhh, why'd ya do it, little buddy? :cry: he was muh favorite. but maybe he's better off without those douches.


mystery is a total creepball, but i think that's what makes this show so amazing. if he was just a normal dude giving pick-up advice, i wouldn't be watching it. instead, he looks like a serial killer/rapist/jamiroquai and what better man could be giving those boys advice.

Reading "The Game" by Neil Strauss will give you perspective on this show... Mystery is a fascinating dude... very smart, but as you'd suspect, fairly unstable and eccentric. His 'method' (or whatever) is based on relatively legit theory, but i'm sure VH1 doesn't air any of the good material. I've only seen a youtube clip of the show.

Really, the fact that the pickup artist 'subculture' exists at all boggles my mind.

[LM9]

they all seem ummmm... :bop:

[JacksonAlbracht]

I love this show. Love love love.

[days_between]

for you its, game over

[Mighty Mouse]

[Ally]

I HATE THIS SHOW! and et i still watch it every week. stupid me

[blunar/2^k]

what are you talking about??? Matador is the biggest prick of the three. The other two seem fairly decent and genuine.

[blunar/2^k]

The fat kid's building some very good, easy-going sociability though. He seems like he'd be fun to hang out with possibly.

[Dylan Thomas]

The older dude is eliminated now, he wzs too old for the show anyway. He woulda been the first to go if spoon didnt become a scared little failure.

[Dylan Thomas]

Scott got eliminated.
Predeep is still in the game,
He’s such a little backstabber.
I would have liked to have seen him go.

[JacksonAlbracht]

I'm really gonna miss Scott. I think right now I'm rooting for Kosmo and the large fellow.

[JacksonAlbracht]

Purdeep sucks and Brady is kinda weak.

[Mister Grieves]

agreed, Purdeep is a creepy fuck. He's lame as hell.

this show is like a car wreck. You don't want to watch..BUT YOU HAVE TO.

[meee-ow!]

this show is like a car wreck. You don't want to watch..BUT YOU HAVE TO.

word. :-o

[Dylan Thomas]

Purdeep screwed all those guys out of stroy teller votes. It was obvious that purdeep sucked yet he manipulated the little girls to vote for him, he then shuts out the older dude and sits right in front of him and blocks him from the convo. He begs to be picked as a sideman so that he wont have to face elimination. The guy is just a shady character, I wouldnt trust him.

He'll be the next to go.

[blunar/2^k]

as jeebs as can be

[blunar/2^k]

i mean, just check all the telephone booths.

[blunar/2^k]

for shit and worse stains, that is...

[blunar/2^k]

shit, i was wrong all again. looks like Pradeep will eventually get caught at his tricks. I really can't believe the masters thought he did better than Scott, who at least actually tried, even if his delivery was stilted. I didn't know until thread revival because I fell asleep during the late rerun in the last five minutes.

Exactly! What gives? Purdeep was scolded for refusing the techniques, scott at least tried.

you've solidified your standing as my favorite blamo member

that's a classic case of DHV (demonstration of higher value). pradeep had a gambit, whereas fred should've bounced to another set where the ladies were showing IOI's or indicators of interest.

Right but Fred opened the set and failed to DHV.
Purdeep further Anti-DHV'ed Fred
and as Mystery said:

"I would have kicked his ass"

[Ally]

fair

[Dylan Thomas]

God damit that little snubby bastard purdeep
pulled some game and got immunity from elimination.

I missed who he saved,
was it cosmo?
He didn’t save Joe though
and Joe saved his ass earlier in the show.
What a sucker he left Joe to be eliminated
and didn’t return the favor that Joe did for him
What a dick.

[Mighty Mouse]

i was confused because pradeep didn't get to pick a wing man for immunity like they said he would. so i don't think that it's really his fault that joe w. was eliminated.

ugh, poor joe w. :cry: he was my other favorite guy. :cry:

(i just added joe w. and spoon on myspace. nerdy? yes.)

i don't know who to root for now that my boys are gone. i guess joe d. since i heart him in a speedo and he's from washington state.

[kara lee]

:lol:

[blunar/2^k]

thank god there's only one joe to keep track of now.

[blunar/2^k]

and that's joe momma

[Mighty Mouse]

:lol: spoon just sent me a myspace message. I AM A NERD. :lol: :oh: :lol:

Hello :)

Sorry, but I had to delete your rad comment :( The link to the picture was too long and disoritented my myspace design.

I actually don't know if I like Spoon the band. I've heard of them from friends, but never really went to their myspace page and listen to their music. Maybe I'll do that after this message.

When you told me about your shirt story it makes me think coz' I did have a friend who saw someone who had a spoon shirt and I think he did ask if he could buy it. That would be CRAZY if you were that person.

Portland is such a rad town. I need to get back home soon.

- Spoon

[kara lee]

:O
loves it!

[Dylan Thomas]

I just bought the "Mystery Method" Book!!!

I am about to become a pick up artiste of the highest calibre.

Watch out ladies, for Dylan Thomas as just bought himself a bottle of game.

[days_between]

I just bought the "Mystery Method" Book!!!


wow there is a book? thats sad.

[Dylan Thomas]

wow there is a book? thats sad.

Yep,
the book was out before the show.
Mystery has been doing this for years
teaching seminars and workshops.

[XSerendipityO]

i love this show

[Dylan Thomas]

Pradeep god damn that dude just doesn’t get it. He slapped Joe in the face and then basically rubbed it in asking if he was serious and making a joke out of him being offended. To top it off, He then goes in and shuts down Joe’s set!! Unfucking real!!

Karma came around to see him eliminated though, good riddance.

Next week they have to pick up a stripper, someone’s gonna get some in the limo.

Who's gonna be eliminated, I think it's gonna be Joe, he just doesn’t have the game. He's the guy that’s everyone's best friend and he's a good guy….But master pick up artist? I think the title is out of his league.

[Mighty Mouse]

i want joe d. to win just because the fat loveable guy never wins (except in movies like knocked up and superbad). i feel like kozmo has an advantage in the physical appearance department (he has that generic pretty boy thing that generic pretty girls like immediately) and doesn't have to work as hard as joe d.

plus, joe d. is my myspace friend :cry:.

Yeah man! I just picked up a similar book!

"50 ways to tell a woman you want to fuck them without actually flat out saying "I want to fuck you"".

It's got some great methods and philosophical ideaologies.

Brady!
The guy makes out
with strippers in limos now.

Joe had to go.
He just didnt have it
Nice guy and all
but not at the skill level
of Cosmo and brady

The next episode
looks hilarious
they have to become teachers.

I'm guessing that the one
whos student gets a pick up
wins master pick up artist.

[nugzie]

who the hell tries to pick up woman jogging on a bridge!!!

at this point theyre just trying to think of the most creative ways to make these guys look dumb.

Nah,

it's a legit meeting ground.

[Dylan Thomas]

The idea isnt the bridge it's the skill of picking up a moving target. Moving targets could be anywhere, at school, in the grocery store, at a show, walking through the mall. The bridge is just a gurantee that all the woman they see will be moving.

but thats so lame! im a chick. if a guy tried to pick me up while i was jogging id tell him to fuck off. you can tell its forced. its not natural. its one thing if youre in a grocery store and you just happen to run into someone cute in the aisle and you start chatting. but its forced, and its lame. and any woman with half a brain would never fall for that shit.

that being said, i do love this show. its highly entertaining, and i cant wait for The Pickup Artist 2. haha.

[blunar/2^k]

Brady is kicking some serious ass at picking up women for a homosexual.

I've never seen a show with so many blubbering babies, either.

hahaha. i was just discussing that with someone. did you see how Kosmo and Joe were holding hands in the elimination room??? what was THAT? those guys seriously cry more than the chicks on the Bachelor. my favorite was when Joe said "Mystery, thank you. you have given me wings." HAHA. yeah ok.

oh and when Joe was grooming his chest hair in the mirror, i vurped a little.

[Mighty Mouse]

wtf, i loved how mystery dressed up as an amish man to spy on the guys. at first i thought they were going to dress him up as a woman who would jog past them. that would have been more entertaining.

oh joe d., nobody cares about "the two girls who got in a fight over some guy named george." sheesh.

[Ally]

making out with strippers is gross

[blunar/2^k]

Jorge. It was Jorge.[/matador]

That would have been so amazing if Joe D. had just risen out of his chair, floated up and taken flight when he talked about Mystery giving him wings.

[blunar/2^k]

I think we can all agree Joe D. in flight would have looked a little something like this:
http://jerry.cleedo.com/len_pounds_dumbfounded.JPG (http://youtube.com/watch?v=W0dyvoVV5Tk)
dumbfounded and bewildered as though to say, "What is this newfound power I have??"

[JacksonAlbracht]

that being said, i do love this show. its highly entertaining, and i cant wait for The Pickup Artist 2. haha.

Don't say that, 'cause if there isn't a second season I'll just die!!!

[mc_festus]

haha, that's what i thought as well, on both counts. how long do these type of competitions force people to live together? it seems like it would be a few weeks, and these gents are gettin' awfully snug with eachother in such a short time.:geihand: :smelly:

[Dylan Thomas]

COSMO! COSMO! COSMO!

Cosmo is THE Master Pick up Artist

I kinda thought Brady got jacked.
He was clearly the better pick up artist.

Ah well Cosmo had heart.

Oh and WHAT THE FUCK was Mystery wearing?
He had some fishnet shirt on,
looked like a transevestite with motorcycle goggles.

actually doesnt he spell it Kosmo??

I had a feeling he was gonna win from the beginning. they kinda centered the show around him. he did make the most improvement though. and did you think it was just a coincidence that the two most "normal" looking guys were in the final two? like seriously, remember that old guy that got eliminated early? even if he started picking up girls i seriously doubt they wouldve ever considered him a "master pickup artist." whatever, i'm sure its all staged anyway. I'm looking forward to the second installment. oh and seriously, does Kosmo have to cry all the fucking time??!!!

I also cant wait for the finale of Rock of Love next week!!! yes im a reality tv junkie.

edit: also, yeah Mystery is a fucking goon. he would NEVER pick me up in a bar. I'd amuse him and get a few drinks out of him, then go stand in the corner and point and laugh at him with my friends. he makes some good points as far as how to "pick up" chicks, I suppose. but I'd NEVER go for his schtick.

I think you're right about it being spelled Kosmo. I also thought he was going to win it.

from the first episode I put my money Kosmo.

I cant wait for Rock of love! Who's he going to pick?!!?

Oh and remember mystery would NEVER buy you a drink, It's all part of his game. :)

[blunar/2^k]

I was worried Kosmo would become too jerky, but I loved how encouraging he was to his young pupil at the club. He's still a big sweetie.

yeah he says that, but he's never met ME! ha-HA. i could get a drink out of him. :flirt:

hmm, rock of love, you know...I was saying Jes for a while, but I think he just might pick Heather. Jes is too young and cute for him. Heather and Bret look like twins!

oh and Heather DOES have a freakin tattoo of his name on her neck. If I was Bret, I'd kinda feel obligated to pick her, haha.

[Dylan Thomas]

BUSTED! You logged into the wrong name didnt you!

Blunar would never speak in a coherent sentance like this.

Would blunar ever use the word Sweetie?

I think you logged into the wrong name didnt you! Didnt you NUGZIE!!!

I dont know heather is kind of sleazy but so is he and getting is name tattooed on her neck was a little insane.

I agree that Jes is too young, I think she's in it as a game, same with Lacy. Cant believe Lacy made it as long as she did, she was hot and all but it was obvious she was playing it to win a game rather than find love.

[blunar/2^k]

I've never used another login name for an extendo period because it always ends up degenerating into my regular babble that it becomes INTENSELY obvious it's me.

What have I been afraid of saying anyway? I'm just as fake/real no matter what name I slap on me.

[blunar/2^k]

yeah he says that, but he's never met ME! ha-HA. i could get a drink out of him. :flirt:

aha! Already falling into his trap before you've even met him!

only keeeding, but of course.

Rare to see bluneezy2k speak as a mere mortal, using such words as "sweetie"

[nugzie]

aha! Already falling into his trap before you've even met him!

no no! as Dylan Thomas pointed out, his thing is to get the girl buy a drink for him! but i will make him come under my spell and he'll buy a drink for me...and THEN proceed to stand in the corner and point and laugh. actually Id laugh right in his face, especially if he wore that fuzzy pimp hat of his. actually, no...I'd take his hat and put it on me and prance around saying "omg, im the master pickup artist, i have a big wang, har har har!"

[nugzie]

I don't think they'd let me on this show.

my signature move is drinking a bottle of wine and singing "hayyyy gurllll ifff aah dobbblldekarrrr busss crashezzz eeentoooo uzzzz, I'll buy you a vodka redbull and make out with youuuuuuu!!!"

but I mean playing into his game because you are just playing up the tension, and women always THINK they are going to conquer the man in the end (when that tension is really what keeps you going so he wins after all)...

[blunar/2^k]

only keeeding, but of course.

Rare to see bluneezy2k speak as a mere mortal, using such words as "sweetie"

BECAUSE that's what Kosmo TOTALLY is! Don't you just wanna give him a big ol' hug'n'kiss and weep with him?

[blunar/2^k]

and hold his hand a bit?

[nugzie]

BECAUSE that's what Kosmo TOTALLY is! Don't you just wanna give him a big ol' hug'n'kiss and weep with him?

sadly, that would totally work on me.
