may be the most entertaining show on tv right nowwatching the lovable losers develop confidence and mack the ladies, their bonding, mystery's canadianism, j-dog & matador... the show dips into overly theatrical elimination drama and mystery is a tool, but shit's got a hold on me

piss on them and then throw all of those geek losers off of a tall ass cliff
horrendous
and one more reason why I am getting rid of the cable package
The last time I talked to the guy on the right, he told me with a straight face that he was "enjoying polyamory."
If you want to live at the "shaolin temple of social mastery, pick up, dating and attraction arts" (i.e. their apartment), it's only $2500 a week.

So for real.
My friends were raving about this so me and wifey decided to catch an ep. Rather "eh" in terms of as a reality show but the clurb scenes are
no way! this show is much more entertaining than watching chefs or models or silly drunk young folks compete
and...
i saw j-dog out two weeks ago. he "number-closed" on a friend's ex.
their whole pick-up persona is to be flamboyant... see mystery's picture above... so its easy to think of them as a joke or gay. but i'm sure that, with the odds these dudes are playing, their game works in certain scenes, such as saddle ranch or other cheesy bars
'he's gonna lose the 2 Set if he can't generate any I.O.I.s," and the like. Just so fucking serious. unfuckwitable.
- spidey
Most of the structure is ripped off from the Survivor model and that's fine but really, the best scenes - from the episode I saw - took place in the club. Everything else leading up to it was pretty blah, especially the internal dynamics between the contestants. I'm just saying, as far as reality shows go, this is pretty generic in some ways even though I find the premise entertaining.
While reading his blog, I saw him referencing the book my roommate had mentioned. He was a character in the book, he was Herbal.
Herbal/Tynan was one of the guys in Project Hollywood. He steals a girl from Mystery and all hell breaks loose.
After reading The Game my F-closes rose drastically. It seemed like Jazz One got laid more than Jason. I realized I was doing a lot of things right when I was in gig mode. When I was at the coffee shop or whatever, I was an AFC.
The similarities between the two are uncanny. As entertaining as the Game is to read, Fatsis pwns it.
Are they holding hands? Seriously.
To be honest, those dudes DO get lots of girls and that was the case even before they started that askromeo.com thing.
Still, many of my female friends who know them have used the words
"creepy"
"cheesy"
"stupid"
"ridiculous"
when describing them. The guy on the right tried picking up this one (engaged) girl I know, and she made fun of him to his face when she put 2 and 2 together that he was the guy she laughed about on the askromeo.com site. He didn't really take that too well.
i agreed with you until the last episode.
when the overweight gentleman proclaimed that, until this experience, the only people he considered friends were the people he played world of warcraft with online while he was living in his parents basement, and now he had created all these bonds, it was... well, suga free said it best
i guess the competition aspect amongst the group is still lacking but it makes up for it in other ways...
Who know them or who know them? 'Cause that would make a world of difference, you know.
major
shit gets better with each ep. I do agree with the above comment though - that's an interesting point. There's something strange about each dude getting kicked off - sort of unnecessary? Guess that's all VH-1 knows though.
No one's fucking with Rock of Love? FREE RODEO! RIP RODEO!
