Ok, while I’m on a streak the past two days blogging about really crappy reality shows, I may as well finish it off with the last one I watched for this week.
It was down to the final 3 this week. And they had 2 things to do. One, pick up a woman on a–what’d they call it?–walking bridge…running bridge…people bridge–ok, it was this bridge where only people went across it and most people were either running or walking a dog. If anyone knows what that’s called, please enlighten me. Anyway, they had to pick up a woman. Their instructions from Mystery were to walk WITH the girl instead of making her stop and also not to FOLLOW the girl and get her creeped out. All of them failed miserably. And I don’t blame them really. Everyone probably assumed they were wanting to sell them something or had a questionnaire. I wouldn’t be into it either.
The second task was to get a number from or leave a strip club with one of the dancers. Their instructions from Mystery were to basically not act like a fool and play the “I’m cool” game. Act completely disinterested in the stripping/dancing. And guess what? I think it actually worked. But here’s my thing. I think this wasn’t the “ultimate” task as they seemed to make it out to be. I mean, come on. These girls are PAID to interact with them so obviously it’s not hard to get their attention. And really, it can’t be that hard to get a number or even a kiss from one of them. I mean, I’m guessing none of them are shy. Either way, it was more of a play the game right/show your confidence type task and they all did really good. And bravo to Brady for making the move finally in the limo. I thought for a minute there he was going to let us all down.
It seems Joe was the obvious choice to let go home tonight. He seems like a really, really great guy that does have potential but he’s going to be the guy that goes home, meets a lot of great people and then marries his best friend. He’s just like that.
So it’s Cosmo and Brady in the final 2. I’m hoping Cosmo wins but Brady has really turned up the heat lately and although he seems really nervous on his individual interviews, he does really well out in the field.
Why I’m watching this show, I have no idea. I don’t even think I like the whole concept of a pick-up artist. But I can tell you, Mystery knows what he’s talking about. The stuff would work on me, no doubt. He could probably write a Harlequin in an afternoon. I can’t deal with the hats and goggles and feathers and flashy stuff he wears but the guy does know how to pick up a woman and it’s quite interesting hearing what he has to say.
So next week Mystery seems as confused as I am who might win. It seems neck and neck right now and I have no clue who to guess as the winner. Not sure the previews look that great…why are they dealing with other men as their final challenge instead of women? And why were they coaching the guys together? I don’t know, but I’ll be there see who is the Master. Pick-up. Artist.
