yep, the jerk aka asshole usually ends up getting the girl, because subsconciously the girl is attracted to it, then he breaks her heart, gets jaded, and then falls for an asshole again...

Really enjoying this show... I'm surprised Pradeep made it as far as he did and I'm glad he's gone... Now that there's only 2 left, we're only up to Episode 8... is this season only 8 episodes or will there be more challenges after?

Final episode has Brady and Kosmo trying to train two "losers" they find on the street....

I figured Kosmo was an actor from day one. I mean, his name is f'ing Kosmo and he's not horrible looking like the rest of the group. He can't get a girl because he's "too hyper"... wtf does that mean? The show is a total scam but fun to watch.

He actually acted like he just came up with that name in episode 2 or 3, when in the demo reel on the website I posted, it shows he has been using it for a long time...Brady has a total model look to him. Why again did this guy have problems? The only ones I really bought on this show as "nerds" were Scott and Spoon. On the vh1 website it says Kosmo is a videogame programmer...right......

I don't even really care that much if some of the contestants are just pretending to be nerds.
I really just like to watch the hidden camera field tests. They don't look staged at all.

I agree that Mystery is goofy looking and some of his methods are kinda lame, but I think the real point of the show and how to pick up women is that you need to be confident and outgoing. That is exactly what Mystery is. He doesn't care who he talks to or how he talks to them. The point is: he's TALKING to them.
The hardest part for "average joes" like most of us on this board is seeing a beautiful girl and actually having the confidence to talk to her and come up with material to keep her interested.
I think the show is fun to watch even if half the guys are actors. I just wish it wasn't a "Survivor" type show and more of a "Biggest Loser" where all the guys stayed on. Maybe it wouldn't make for as good of drama though.

Well call me a bubblehead because for whatever reason I'm drawn to this dude, although I argued about his methods, that was before I saw him in action. Mystery, with his fuzzy hat and stupid goggles...is somehow very attractive and I started digging his cheeseball methods and vocabulary.
Sadly, I want this man. I am ashamed, but I'm being honest.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got rejected almost as often as some of the guys on the show. It's hard not to laugh when you see him in his get up.

Give Mystery his props!
Guys no hitter ever hit .1000 in baseball.
And Mary Tyler-Moore turned down Elvis's advances so there.
Too many bitter playstation, stay at home Saturday nighters hating when they should be taking notes!

It's all about sales. The more you try to sell, the more you'll strike a sale. Nobody hits 1.000 in life or sales, but the more you try the more you succeed.
Myster isn't the douchebag on this show -- it's those f'ing posers J-Dog and Matador --- J-Dog (come on, say it) J-Dog.... are you f'ing kidding me???
One thing I do agree with is the the theory of back-handed compliments. Too many beautiful women know they're hot and hear it all the time. Sometimes they need to be told that their nails are nice - even though they're fake.
