This week the boys learned all about story-telling. If they had read the blog I posted a couple months ago they might have fared better. Story telling is an essential trait that a PUA must have. Unfortanetly none of these guys really demonstrated a good ability to tell a story.
I thought the scene with the little girls was too made for TV. I see why they need to put tests like that in there just to keep things from getting repetitive. But the scene got boring quick.
I must say I hate Pradeep. He annoys the shit out of me. Scott and Brady kind of annoy me too. Joe W. is a harmless fruit.
I think at this point I’m pulling for Joe D. or Kosmo to win.
Mystery, Matador, and K-Dogg taught the guys all about DHVs or Demonstrations of higher value. There are gambits that make you seem interesting. Here is a good post with some examples of DHVs.
They also talked about “Negs” this week. Funny, I just put a post about about next earlier today. If you’re unfamiliar with neg theory check out this post for some good examples of negs.
The infield portion of the show was a nightmare. The only guy that seemed to even remotely interest his set was Joe W. But they probably thought he was harmless because he came off so gay.
Pradeep and Fred was a train wreck. I felt bad for the girls who had to sit and listen to that crap.
Kosmo was unsure of himself and blew it quickly. Scott stumbled through the lines, but I have to give him credit for trying. He does really seem to want this. And Mystery seems to have a thing for him. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Scott wins.
In the end Fred got kicked off. Poor virgin. Guess he’ll never get no play. Oh well, he didn’t seem to interested in learning the stuff. If he was trying harder I might have felt bad for him, but I have no patience for people who don’t even attempt to give this stuff a shot.
Anyway, I don’t believe that this show will have any effect on your pickups. I wouldn’t be nervous using negs, or routines, or openers. Don’t use the specific ones they used in the show, but there are plenty of others to choose from. Just search around this site and I’m sure you’ll find more then you need.

The PUA community can breath a little easier, no great amount of secrete info is being given out. More books and seminars might be sold because of it but I am sure for every 1 guy that wants to really study and pickup lots of women there are a 100 that think it is all BS or they are already God’s gift to women.
The elimination format isn’t working for, they should have just kept score through the whole show with winner getting a new chick pad so they have new place to lay all the new women they’ll be picking up.
Spoon - Gone. Poor guy was afraid of his own shadow, and even more afraid of women. Someone should have bought him a hooker before he started the show, at least he’d know what he is missing out on. That might have been enough to get him to jump over his approach fears.
Fred - Gone. 45 and never been laid? I think the Catholic Church is recruiting.
Pradeep - His facial expressions and mannerisms are his down fall. I don’t think he get’s it. Mystery gave him a private lesson on a gambit to use. Pradeep thought that would give him a leg up on the other guys. A $100 in his pocket and a room full of starving hookers wouldn’t give that poor bastard an edge in getting laid over anyone.
Bardy - What a difference a week makes. From the moment he made the finger gesture when he walked in the club you could sense this wasn’t his night. Back to square one, remember the material. Proof positive good lucks alone only get you so far.
Scott - He seems to study and apply the lessons, but he is just so damn stiff. Nothing he does seems to flow. He’s got heart and I think he will eventually get there. Some about him needs to be more manly, he seems almost more feminine that Joe W.
Kosmo - Too many highs and lows with this guy. He is the opposite of Scott, he needs to slow down a little and not be so her key jerky. He needs to learn the material and as Mystery said, “Trust in your charm.”
Joe D - Always has a smile on his face so it is very natural and I believe it helps him in the approach. But he has always been the “nice guy friend” lets see if he can become a Steve, aka from the movie, “The Tao of Steve” and not a Stew.
Joe W - The double earring on this guy just doesn’t work. He like Scott is really committed to this and appears to be trying hard at applying the material. Make him look a little bit more rugged or manly and he has a shot. He still looks too gay. He should have kept Fred and PraDeep from elimnation so that would have forced Mystery to send either Kosmo, Brady, Scott, or Joe D. packing, all stronger players then Fred or Pradeep. No sense of fighting Thomas Herns when you could go up against PeeWee Herman. Hey it is a contest.
They previewed week 4 where the guys get to practice kissing with Mystery’s girl pals. I hope he paid them good because judging from the boys reactions they are going to swarm all over these gals like a pack of wolves hitting a chicken in a hen house. Do they get slober hazzard pay????

Dude my stomach and jaw hurt cuz of my infinite lauhgter when Fred said:”He works in the furniture business too.” I almost hyperventilated when Pradeep sat down akwardly next to Fred and blew him out of the set.
Pradeep: “How are we doing.”
Fred: “Horrible.”
I cringed when those guys made the finger gesture and immediatly bombed in the set by asking generic shit like: “Where you from, what you guys do..”
I love this show. Constantly entertaining.
