Seasons & Episode
Nine loveable losers arrive at a mansion in the Arizona desert to meet the one man who can teach them the skills to improve their game with women. After hitting the clubs to demonstrate their lack of game for their mentor, Mystery, the students are treated to makeovers. But the nine newbies are stunned when one of their team is sent home before he even begins his transformation.
The eight remaining students are surprised when they arrive at their first reward challenge and discover their task is to charm little old ladies at a bingo parlor.
Seven remaining students face off in a racy reward challenge, where Mystery asks each to "Keep their cool." Last season's winner returns to help teach the guys about body language and inspire them to be better men. And during the field test, some students get phone numbers, while others just get rejected.
The six remaining men are asked to talk about their physical experiences with women, and then demonstrate their skills on a professional sexologist. But Mystery is still very disappointed when they can not meet their objective.
When the five remaining students arrive at a hotel ballroom, none of them anticipate that they are actually attending a women's charity auction where they will be auctioned off on stage. In the field test, the guys face their more intimidating challenge yet – picking up Bikini Models. Some are successful while others crash and burn.
The guys learn about “day game” when they are taken to a grocery store and challenged to pickup women in an everyday situation. Later, after pairing off into two teams, the students enter the field with a mission – to use their wingmen skills to make out with their targets in the club. Some are successful while others fall behind in the competition.
Three remaining students compete in their toughest challenge yet: teaching friends from home how to meet and attract women. Mystery's students become the teachers, as they give their friends makeovers and teach them the fundamentals of pickup in only 24 hours. At the field test though, some students forget about the fundamentals and focus entirely on "approach anxiety."
The final two challengers battle it out in a ramped up week of competition. The stakes are high and the pressure is on, when Mystery throws a twist in the reward challenge, sending the guys into a club for a race to the kiss close. And everything is put on the line, when the final field test is announced as a house party, and the guys are charged with pulling a girl into uncharted territory: their bedrooms.
