Reality TV Cleansing

I have been watching reality TV and I am pretty sure I am dumber as a result. Help!
I have selected the following as my latest obsession in reality TV. People, this show is terrible. I am so embarrased!



Vh1's The Pick Up Artist Ahh!


Oh, gosh. What can I say. The Pick Up Artist is a show where the quite abnormal looking and talking "Mystery", the host, leads his students on a socially-educating journey to learn to talk to and connect with women. They are self-proclaimed losers in the dating category and volunteer to be Mystery's proteges. I'm thinking (1) Mystery looks like a cartoon character and (2) I hope the students are really actors hoping to be discovered.
This show is complete with it's own set of vocabulary:


Set: a group of people; [Hey, look at that two-set (2 people) of women running away from us!]


Kino: physical touch;[No one on this show has ever played a game of Kino.]


DHV: Demonstration of Higher Value; any occurence that increases women's attraction for you; [Can I borrow someone's DHV? Anyone?]


IOD: Indicators Of Disinterest; signs that a woman isn't attracted to you; [(Mystery thinks to himself) Was Chelsea's facial expressions and sarcastic question a possible IOD?]







There is even this big guy on the show who ALWAYS goes up to women (in a bar, on the street, etc.) and says "Hey! Did you guys see the fight back there! blah, blah, blah." I mean, who wouldn't fall for such a great line?


Anyway, so Alvaro (a.k.a Kosmo) ends up winning and being crowned the pick up artist. I think he won a whopping $50,000 dollars too. Hmm, wow.

Some before and after shots. Nevermind, being on the show was worthwhile. My fav is the necklace.





























They interviewed the newly crowned pick up artist and I highlighted a few questions below.


Vh1: Why did you change your name to Kosmo?


Kosmo: Kosmo is my breakdancing name. I got it when I was 10-years old and I used to breakdance in Miami. People couldn’t figure out what I was thinking, so they called me Kosmo. I like it better. I’m out there, I’m not normal at all.


The last comment is all too true.


Vh1: So it was worth it?


Kosmo: Oh yeah. If they told me right now that I could either do a movie with Robert DeNiro or The Pick Up Artist, I would pick The Pick Up Artist. It changed my life.


Ok, I don't know why I got stuck on this show. How ridiculous.


It' s your turn. Be honest readers. You watched every episode. You were, and still are, ashamed of liking it. Redemption is offered here, no charge. Tell me the name of the show and let the world know your secret!

I enjoyed both Bret Michael's Rock of Love and The Pick Up Artist. If it wasn't for TPUA then I wouldn't have found http://www.BecomingAPUA.com . Just reading some of what this guy does for women is wild.
