VH1's "The Pick up Artist"

Any thoughts on the elimination in Ep 4?

It seemed like Mystery was basically conceding defeat with Scott when he talked about how Scott was so devoted to the method, but apparently Pradeep had more "potential".

Does this mean that Mystery would say that there are some people that his method cannot help, even if they follow it whole-heartedly? If this method is supposed to help the geekiest people become comfortable with women, then why should "potential" be a factor?

i was surprised and upset at the elimination...scott had made a ton of improvement and seemed to be giving the method a chance...everytime i see pradeep i want to punch him in the face, hes a douchebag...and he hasn't been shown doing anything that mystery et al have been instructing on...only thing i can think of is that the chick liked his aggressive kiss and that made them think he had a chance...

I felt it was 100% def. that the network stepped in and said 'you have to keep this douchebag in, he's a great character for everyone to hate, which adds to the show tons'. So far all the winners, challenge winners and losers have been v. predictable.

The 'most potential' reason was the best excuse they could come up with to keep him in.

that's a very good point, as you know that mystery would love to have someone that is as committed as Scott to be part of the program. Even reading the Game, it took style some time to become what he ended up becoming. I could see style getting kicked off of a show like this because he probably wouldn't have been as great TV starting out as someone like Pradeep

i liked it when mystery's voice was in the ear of that guy. he was very good. my gf thought so too.

I think this is the key part. Of course they are going to edit it like they have, but I bet if you got to see the nightclub scenes in full Pradeep has been using Mystery's teachings. He just inserts his own style in, which crashes and burns, and is shown on TV.

As much as I can't stand Pradeep either, the dude at least has a personality, something you really couldn't say about Scott.

Um...more info, please? This isn't exactly conclusive. also, that jacket the dude is wearing in the lefthand picture is pretty snazzy.

hard to tell but it does seem like a lot of these guys have/had some acting experience in the past, but are genuinely into the show.

I kinda liked Joe W. but he needed to step up the 'being gay' impression people had of him. Of all the guys left I can only see Kosmo being a legit pickup artist, since he's good looking and has the most overall machismo potential. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.

This episode totally went in a different direction than I expected. It was solid. Looking forward to next week's.

Also I don't know if anyone's pointed this out about last week's...but you know the chick who was watching the kisses? Didn't it seem like she was getting hella turned on, especially with Kosmo's kiss? That was cool.
