This week on The Pickup Artist, the guys show how far they’ve come, and man, they sure don’t look like the same nerds we met six weeks ago. They were total pros out in the field and there was lots of making out going on. There was also a very Top Gun vibe what with all the wingmen – Rian and Greg easily filled the roles of Maverick and Goose as they competed against Matt and Simeon (er, Iceman and Slider) for immunity. There was no sexy, sweaty beach volleyball, but we did get a glimpse at a new, shirtless Simeon. Umm, Simeon. . .care to explain?

When Rian returns to the house with the last of Mystery’s medallions from last week, Simeon tells the group “We’re the Fantastic Four right here.” With Brian now gone, the guys have lost a friend, but also a rival – they’re all one step closer to being the master pickup artist, but first, in a move to see whose day game it tops, they’re are hurtled into a sea of coupon-clippers and price checks at the grocery store.

Bikini fashion show! No, it’s not the name of a cheesy 80s movie, it’s the field challenge our guys had to undertake this week and man, oh man was it AWK-ward! Of course this outfit never ceases to surprise, so even though three of ‘em hit on the same girl, hyperactive Simeon was the only one who could close the deal and get her number. The rest failed miserably. Simeon was the week’s big winner and SHOCK of all shocks, Brian was the dude sent home.

The boys get grabby and slobbery in the latest episode of The Pick Up Artist. That’s what happens when a professional sexologist lets them get frisky with her in the name of research. Unfortunately this sets an unrealistic precedent: while some women will let you grope them in the dark for 90 seconds, others won’t even give out their number even after some polite conversation about meerkats. Todd finds that out the hard way this week and ultimately, he’s sent home.

Kevin may not have had a chance to learn all of Mystery‘s lessons, but he’s taken the art of the pickup to another level since losing the last medallion to Karl last Sunday night on The Pick Up Artist. When we got in touch with him after his recent move to L.A., we caught him in mid-conversation with none other than Matador. The guy is a serious macking machine these days. As much as he seems to enjoy the game lately, Kevin tells us that the real reason he got into this is to find that special someone. Aww…

Watch the second full episode of the Pick Up Artist right here.

So were you just hanging out with Matador?

Yeah, we were just hanging out over at the studio, dealing with post-show logistics.

Were you getting a lesson from him, extra advice that you didn’t get on the show?

After the show…we’re not famous by any means but we do get recognized in public, so indirectly all the contestants are associated with Mystery’s company, The Venusian Arts, because we’re his students. And just to protect his image and everything, he’s good about talking to you about people to watch out for and how to handle the press. We also got a lesson on working on our day-game in the field.

This week, it was all about our young Love Jedis’ quest for knowledge. The guys get their first lesson from Mystery about opening sets and negging. They also learn that age ain’t nothin’ but a number, and sometimes you have to woo a lady even if they remind you of your Bubbe. All that, plus Brian wins over Mystery and Co., with his smooth moves!
