We’ve been spending a lot of time swooning over the contestants who are bearing their hearts, souls, and chests on the Pick Up Artist 2 Casting site. Over the coming weeks we’ll be featuring our favorite lovable losers who are vying for a chance to learn mad pick up skills from the master himself, Mystery. If you’re desperate for help with the ladies, now is your chance! Head over to the Pick Up Artist 2 Casting site, register, and starting blogging about why you deserve to be the next Master Pick Up Artist!
To start us off, we’ve picked one of our favorite videos from contestant Putt99 to feature above. He’s a programmer from North Carolina who’s had one girlfriend (for only 3 months) and has been rejected 1238 times! Ouch. Do you think he’s Mystery material? Visit his blog - maybe he’ll even win you over and get your vote!

Admit it: you got hooked on last year’s hit The Pick-Up Artist and admired Mystery’s skills with the ladies. Maybe you wished you could get schooled by the stud and his wingmen and transform from a D&D loving dork into a smooth operator, just like Kosmo, last season’s winner. Well now you can! The show is coming back for a second season, and VH1 is hosting a virtual casting call to round up those guys most in need of the Mystery Method! Visit our site, create your profile, and share videos, photos and blogs that prove to the world why you most deserve to study under the master’s watchful eye (covered in ski goggles, natch). All you gotta do is make it to our final casting round and receive the most votes, and you’re in Mystery’s mansion!
Check out the site here to create your profile and peep other hopefuls. And if you’re already a mack-daddy but have a friend in need, you can nominate your pal for a spot on the show.

Wondering why Alvaro became Kosmo? Think you could mack The Pick Up Artist in a bar? Desperate to know why Kosmo thinks Pradeep is a faker?
The second half of our chat with The Pick Up Artist winner has all the goods on the show that Kosmo calls “an underground revolution.”
Why did you change your name to 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.
Was the show experience harder than it looked?
Hell yeah! They made it look easy on TV. It’s like going out on the battle field. Going in that bus, everyone was shaking. I was sweating and stuttering and started to think about going home.

Maybe you were wooed by his break-dancing moves, charmed by his tears or freaked out at his hyper tendencies. Maybe you just liked looking at his bod in a Speedo. Ladies liked him enough to kiss close and bounce to new locations, and Mystery liked him so much that he named him The Pick Up Artist. Yes, Kosmo is King!
In our first interview installment, Kosmo (aka Alvaro, if you play that way) opens up about the moment Mystery changed his life, the way some fellow contestants talked to trees, and why his acting career doesn’t necessarily make him a ladies man. Make sure to make the jump to find out why he thinks Scott is like a…

It’s the moment we’ve all been eagerly anticipating — it is down to two contestants, and there can only be one Pick-Up Artist. Who do you think will take the (furry, three-foot) crown, $50,000 and the numbers of unassuming ladies everywhere? Will it be the bottle-blonde stripper-getting Brady, or the artist formerly known as Alvaro, Kosmo. Weigh in before Monday night’s finale!
Fallen, but still pimpin’ in our hearts.

Given that Brady was able to simultaneously giggle like a school girl, give off serious serial killer energy and make out with a stripper, we’re naming him our Pick Up Artist of the Week. Though he wasn’t able to close on the moving target challenge, he did manage to get an exotic dancer into his limo, which is not a euphemism. He really did it! Read the rest of this entry »

And then there were three. Our Artists-in-Training are nearing the end of their time with Mystery and his Wings, and it’s time for them to step up their game and really prove they have what it takes to get the kino flowing with the ladies.
Only Brady, Kosmo and Joe are left to duke it out this week - who do you think will walk away with a medallion around their necks?
And who is joining Pradeep, Spoon and Fred in loser territory?

He may have once lived in his parents’ basement, had only virtual friends and had his last sober kiss between the ages of 13 and 15, but things are looking up for Joe. By demonstrating himself to be an excellent listener and snagging the reward challenge, Joe was completely at home in sets, even if he didn’t manage to get any real action. Plus, the man knows sexy boy shorts when he sees them, which is reason enough to name him our Pick Up Artist of the Week. Read the rest of this entry »

Joe W. and his fancy pierced ears made a lot of pick-up progress, but it wasn’t enough for Mystery and his Wing Men to keep him around another week. The guys are now comfortable kissing peaches and hanging in Speedos, but will that be enough to keep a seat in the house?
Who do you think has mastered all the right moves?
And who doesn’t have enough kino to stick around?
Send tips to your fallen brothers.

We’re naming Pradeep our Pick Up Artist of the week, given his meteoric game in this episode. We hate to admit it, but we were kind of impressed. But doesn’t the guy still probably want to head home? Let’s just say we wouldn’t shed a tear (like some other guys we know) if he packed his bags for good next week. He may have macked that chick at the coffee shop, but his moves - and stories - were way creepy.
