"The Pick Up Artist"

I tuned in to this show, specifically because it was going to a strip club. Unfortunately, I missed a good portion of it (and will be watching for re-runs of it, which I'm sure will be forthcoming). Anyhow, what I DID see, didn't show that the "pickup artists to-be" had any pickup skills.

It appeared the goal was to get an exotic dancer to be with them OTC. Heck, a lot of US have had better experiences than THESE doofuses had OTC. It's obviously not THAT big of trick to get a dancer OTC. The one guy that "succeeded" was able to make out with the dancer in his limo. Big deal... If I had a limo sitting outside in the parking lot, I think MY success rate would be 100%. Even without the limo, my success rate is pretty high, though admittedly, most of the successes have taken some time to cultivate the "relationships". However, my last experience certainly tops the "winner" from the show... After a few hours in the club, getting the dancer to hookup after hours... receiving BBBJ w/CIM... Does that make me a pickup artist? Nope.

I take it this is all being recorded by a camera (& mic) that's visible to all involved? Pardon me if this is painfully obvious to everyone, but what renders so-called reality television pointless IMO is the fact that reality doesn't involve a camera following you around, causing everyone to perform (and badly at that) like they never would otherwise. I wouldn't expect the results a "pickup artist" achieves with strippers to mean much under those conditions.

Chandler: The cameras are hidden from view in the walls, but I am pretty sure The management at the club had to know that they would be installing cameras for that night at the club. The guy that is suppose to be a "Master pickup aritst" watches what his students are doing from a Moniter in a truck outside the club.

DougS: I agree with you, the guy had a advantage with having the Limo parked outside.
