<p>Kevin Feng is one annoying little fucker!</p>
<p>Every time he claps his hands or snaps his fingers I want to punch him through my monitor!</p>
<p>I find it amusing how these guys who only a year ago were supposedly clueless regarding women are now teaching bootcamps…</p>
<p>I mean, they weren’t even the winners of the show…</p>
<p>Why take a bootcamp by these guys when you can take a <a href="http://www.seductionbootcamps.com/venusian-arts-bootcamps-with-mystery-and-matador/">Mystery Bootcamp</a> instead?!</p>
<p>It’s like wearing cubic zirconia studs when you got diamond ones in your drawer…</p>

<p>Next, I want to touch on the question that is on everybody’s mind…</p>
<p>What were the ratings for The Pick-Up Artist 2?</p>
<p>VH1 isn’t very good at releasing ratings for their shows… in fact most cable networks are notoriously bad.</p>
<p>Unless it is a highly rated Flavor or Rock of Love finale, VH1 is typically mum.</p>
<p>Nielson only lists the top 20 cable shows.</p>
<p>The only concrete ratings I’ve seen for the show this season is for the premiere episode.</p>
<p>Here’s the stats…</p>
<p>“The first episode of Pick-Up Artist 2 scored a .8 in the 18-49 demo and attracted 1.2 million total viewers for its 10:00 PM Premiere; double Season 1’s premiere episode.”</p>
<p>For comparison purposes, here’s some other recent VH1 ratings…</p>
<p>‘Rock of Love: Charm School’ Premiere = 2.4 million viewers<br />
‘Real Chance Of Love’ Premiere = 2.2 million viewers<br />
‘I Love Money Reunion Special’ = 2.1 million viewers<br />
‘Scream Queen’ Premiere = 1.2 million viewers</p>
<p>So obviously The Pick-Up Artist doesn’t get the ratings that the trashy Bachelor/Bachelorette like shows get. That’s really no surprise to me.</p>
<p>It took me a while but I’ve finally accepted the fact that American’s like crappy TV. It is really a miracle that shows like “Arrested Development” made it a whole three seasons.</p>
<p>When it comes to ratings there is a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration too…</p>
<p>… the time that the show airs (for example 8-9pm C has more viewers than 7-8pm)<br />
… competing shows that run at the same period<br />
… the day of the week<br />
… the ratings of the lead-in or lead-out<br />
… the specific ratings of the targeted demographic<br />
… the month the show airs in </p>
<p>There’s really too many factors and too little information for me to make a decisive decision if this season was a major success or not.</p>
<p>Obviously the big question on everyone’s mind is will there be a season 3…</p>
<p>I doubt at this point anyone really has that answer.</p>
<p>But I’ll give my overall opinions about it tomorrow…

<p>That’s great, but what annoys me is the ones who write with the whole “I’d rather poke my eyes out with a butter knife than watch this show yet I’m watching it as a service to my readers anyway” attitude…</p>
<p>BULLSHIT! </p>
<p>You are watching and writing about it to capitalize off it just like I am! I mean, at least I’m honest about it.</p>
<p>All things considered, I think the show is very ENTERTAINING…</p>
<p>I’ve learned things from it…</p>
<p>I’ve been inspired…</p>
<p>Sure, the show is rather cookie cutter and formulaic. Season to season the episodes are incredibly similar…</p>
<p>But it is a reality show on VH1 for fucksake! What do you expect, each episode to unfold like a Martin Scorsese film?!?</p>
<p>I appreciate the valuable input they sometimes include in their reviews but I could really do without the whole persecuted martyr bullshit…</p>

<p>The reward challenge involved the guys going into a grocery store and attempting to number close women.</p>
<p>I go grocery shopping once a week and I have NEVER seen so many viable and desirable targets at one setting in my life. It was practically like a night club in that store without the cock.</p>
<p>Obviously the store was purposely stacked with sets. I hear many gurus preach how day game is so great and I agree that when you are out doing your daily routines you should keep your eyes open for targets and open them at will. </p>
<p>My main problem with purposely going out and sarging during the day is that targets and sets are completely scattered, random and moving. I find it hard to find a really good target rich environment.</p>
<p>Rian goes in and does a good job. He does hand kino with a girl and gets her number to invite her to a cookout. My only quip is that the girl had an ass the size of Texas.</p>
<p>Next, Greg goes in and treads water.</p>
<p>Matt starts out good but lets approach anxiety get the best of him. He resorts to walking around the grocery store and fondling random pieces of produce.</p>
<p>It really shows that approach anxiety is without merit. These women were all relatively receptive to being opened. </p>
<p>You can also see how someone with approach anxiety sticks out like a sore thumb. He seemed obviously nervous and apprehensive. Women can pick up on your anxiety and lack of confidence in yourself like a sore thumb.</p>
<p>Finally Simeon goes in and plays it all wrong. There’s direct, indirect and in Simeon’s case; bizarre indirect. </p>
<p>I’m really not a fan of random opinion openers in an environment like a grocery store. Asking a girl who is looking at broccoli if she would ever date a guy named Ronald might still work but I think it is a bit uncalibrated.</p>
<p>Rian wins the challenge and proves my theory that you should approach the ugliest and/or fattest girl possible to win such challenges. Why approach a “10″ when you can approach a fug and score the same either way?</p>
<p>The guys then pair up as wings (Rian and Greg, Simeon and Matt) and get coached on how to be good wingmen.</p>
<p>I found this FASCINATING!</p>
<p>In my entire life I have went out with hundreds of guys but only had one really good wingman. The guy was like the Terminator for me. I remember one night where he fended off four women by himself so I could score with the one hot target of the set.</p>
<p>I love how one guy opens the set, builds comfort, sets the foundation for his wing and then introduces him to the set. It’s almost like a “hype man” who pumps up the crowd for the main performer.</p>
<p>I like the idea of asking if he has seen “insert female name”. If the set isn’t ready it gives a legitimate reason for him to leave the set without being formally introduced at that time. The guy is busy and needs to talk to a woman that he knows at that time and he can return later when he has more time to be formally introduced and the set is ready without it seeming weird.</p>
<p>Rian did a great job of opening the set and prepping them for Greg. When they get into the VIP area Greg has no problem making out with the girl who was probably the least attractive of the three. </p>
<p>Rian actually does a great job handling the two girls by himself but has problems escalating. He finally hen pecks one of the girls but puts on the brakes.</p>
<p>Many times guys fear escalating too fast and getting rejected or making the girl uncomfortable. I’m guilty of both fearing to escalate and escalating too early. It’s all a matter of reading the girl and proper calibration.</p>
<p>Rian seems to be stopped at a green light. The women sense this and get uncomfortable about it. </p>
<p>Escalate too quick = discomfort<br />
Escalate too slow = discomfort</p>
<p>For Rian’s defense, Greg does the cardinal sin of 99% of the wings I’ve been out with…</p>
<p>He gets selfish!</p>
<p>He’s making out with his girl and totally ignores his wing. This is a true test of a good wing; if they are totally in with a girl and they are still willing to help you. If they completely forget about you at that point you need to ditch that wing. You are probably better off going out alone.</p>
<p>Next, Simeon and Matt go in. Simean uses peacocking to his advantage. He uses his hat as a prop and kiss closes his target. Matt is spinning his wheels with mundane banter without escalating at all.</p>
<p>Simeon has the sense to reengage Matt and his target and talk up Matt. I don’t think it did anything to impress the woman but it did get Matt back on track and he uses the patented “are you spontaneous” line to kiss close his target.</p>
<p>Great job Simeon!</p>
<p>So Greg and Rian are on the chopping block.</p>
<p>Rian believes Greg should get the ax because Rian had two women and Greg didn’t help him out.</p>
<p>Mystery admits Greg let Rian hanging but the reality is that Rian really didn’t need Greg’s help. Rian just didn’t pull the trigger.</p>
<p>Mystery asks Rian why he didn’t kiss one of the girls in an intimate manner and Rian got relatively defensive and started making excuses.</p>
<p>This was the end of Rian…</p>
<p>Rian got the boot and I couldn’t have been happier.</p>
<p>I give him credit that he made great progress during the time of the show. But ultimately his inner game wasn’t there yet. It’s one thing to disagree with another contestant but to disagree with Mystery in regards to kiss closing showed that he was not 100% willing to learn from Mystery and fess up to his failures.</p>
<p>In summary, I think this was one of the best episodes of the show yet.

<p>As you can see, the majority of the question regard Tara. </p>
<p>I think it is quite obvious that having Tara as a wing was a smart move. </p>
<p><strong>What is Tara’s last name?</strong></p>
<p>Ferguson</p>
<p><strong>Is The Pickup Artist fake?</strong></p>
<p>Is any reality show entirely “real”? It’s possible some elements are reenacted, contestants may be “prodded” to say certain things, scenes are conveniently cut to induce drama and some people in the club might be knowledgeable that they are being approached by contestants but I really can’t prove it nor is it a concern of mine. </p>
<p>The show is an entertaining, insightful and uplifting show and I believe most of the contestants are sincere.</p>
<p><strong>Are Mystery and Tara dating?</strong></p>
<p>I venture to say “no”. There’s no way I could know for sure…</p>
<p><strong>Ask your question below… </strong></p>
<p>I’ll try to answer them myself or find someone who can…</p>

<p>It always seems like Brian is in the center of all this man-hugging. </p>
<p>Did you see him going ape shit rubbing Rian’s shoulder?</p>
<p>For a guy who has only touched a boob and ran he sure isn’t scared to touch other guys…</p>
<p>After thankfully getting through the annoying parts early, we are treated by a butta-faced professional sexologist Erin Lindsey and her hot assistant Whitney…</p>
<p>First thing first, since when is there professional “Sexologists”?!? </p>
<p>I mean, I was naive back in college but I wasn’t stupid…</p>
<p>If there was any Sexology 101 classes I would have been camping outside the registrars office like soccer moms outside of the Hannah Montana ticket booth…</p>
<p>Hell, I would have majored AND minored in Sexology if I knew there was such a thing.</p>
<p>Back to Erin and Whitney…</p>
<p>Erin demonstrates the erogenous zones by licking, kissing and feeling up Whitney…</p>
<p>YES!!!</p>
<p>But wait…</p>
<p>Any time it seems like it is going to be hot lezbo action it cuts away to the guys staring with their jaws on the floor…</p>
<p>COME ON DAMMIT!!</p>
<p>Quit cockteasing us!</p>
<p>So then the girls bring out a 7-foot tall mannequin in lingerie and tell the guys to make out with it…</p>
<p>This is bullshit…</p>
<p>I want to see Mystery make out with the mannequin and not make it look awkward.</p>
<p>So then we learn that the guys will be making out with one of the girls…</p>
<p>Please let it be Whitney… please let it be Whitney….</p>
<p>Nope, it’s buttaface Erin…</p>
<p>Dammit!!!</p>
<p>To help the boys out, they were nice enough to turn the lights out when they make out with her…</p>
<p>One guy slobbered on her like a dog…</p>
<p>Another poked and prodded at her like she was the control panel on the Enterprise…</p>
<p>And Matt sassified her just right…</p>
<p>He got an earbud with Mystery giving him tips when infield…</p>
<p>So then we have Mystery in his Freddy Krueger sweater teaching the guys kino escalation, compliance tests, indicators of interest (IOIs) and calibration…</p>
<p>These are all important things to learn but they blow over them so quick in the show that it is impossible to get a firm grasp of them…</p>
<p>If you don’t yet know these concepts, I recommend getting Mystery’s book “<a href="http://www.eseduce.com/venusian-arts-revelation/">Venusian Arts Revelation</a>” to get a more detailed description of them.</p>
<p>So the infield challenge involves the guys trying to kino escalate with a target to the point of kissing her on the lips. </p>
<p>They all fail…</p>
<p>But crybaby Rian manages to kiss a girl on the cheek so he is the winner.</p>
<p>Fuck that…</p>
<p>I kiss my grandma on the cheek!</p>
<p>Kick crybaby off any how…</p>
<p><strong>*SPOILERS*</strong></p>
<p>So in the elimination it comes down to Greg and Todd…</p>
<p>What?!?</p>
<p>I predicted these two guys to be the two finalists!!!</p>
<p>And Todd got the boot…</p>
<p>I have to give this season credit for being unpredictable…</p>
<p>I also have to give Matador credit for his awesome “you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet” line in this episode…</p>
<p>Classic!</p>
<p>Next week it looks like crybaby Rian has another tit fit…</p>
<p>Did I mention yet that I really do not like Rian?

<p>I liked her body…</p>
<p>I liked her lingerie…</p>
<p>I liked the way she talked…</p>
<p>I liked her belly button ring…</p>
<p>I liked her boobs… oops, I mean hair…</p>
<p>With a little rhinoplasty this girl will be golden.</p>
<p>But unfortunately…</p>
<p>No…</p>
<p>I know nothing more about Samantha, if that even is her real name.</p>
<p>I don’t know if she is a stripper, model or a wannabe actress.</p>
<p>My guess is that VH1 put out a casting call like they did last year with Tara and Samantha got the part.</p>
<p>Does anyone know more?</p>
<p>I assume she is probably from the Scottsdale, Arizona area…</p>
<p>Guys, lets get out our pipes and magnifying glasses and find some answers!!!</p>
<p>Leave a comment if you find out anything…</p>
