That was a boring final challenge.

Cheers:

Tara's strategically exposed cleavage
Simeon's cringe-worthy moments
Simeon looking like a douche bag and wearing jeans when at the party when everyone else was dressed more formal. Hilarious
Simeon's girlfriend. Thanks for the mammaries.
Matt not using that stupid "me and my friends are partying like it's the end of Ocean's 11" line
Simeon not saying "NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER!"

Jeers:

Simeon winning. WTF? How could the guy who wears that stupid-ass hat and eyebrow ring (which clash big time) win?
The girls at the party. Those were Perfect 10's?
Matador's wardrobe
Matador's hair
Matador
Simeon's gay friend NOT showing up to provide some awkward sexual tension.
"Let's get back to that party...and meet some girls." How about you go meet a [expletive] mirror.

WE KISS. THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

Thanks for the memories.

It was clear from day one that Simeon was going to win. Same for the douche from the first season.

That's why this show doesn't work. If you have to do a makeover, especially in episode 1, then this show loses its entire point. It's supposed to show that any guy can become (at least what goggle-boy deigns) a "Ladies Man".

The show is way too predictable, even for a reality tv show. And that says something.

BTW, Matt lost the final challenge because he went after a sober girl. And Simeon won because he didn't.

The wisdom of Matador. He is as useless as those medalions.

Cronos, I thought Matt or Greg would be winners, mainly because Simeon is...gay.

I want to find a knock-off of that last medallion on e-bay. And pay 50 cents for it.

And nah. The dude with the bling-bling from the first episode? Definitely. But Simeon wouldn't have gotten as far as he did if he was. Though I think the point(according to goggle-boy) is that you have to appear as non-threatening as possible the entire time. So take that as you will.

I wanted so badly for Rian to win. I knew he wouldn't, but if he had won, then I would have seriously believed in his tactics. Goggle-boy would have made a believer out of even me if he had declared Rian the winner.

For goggle-boy's bottom line, shouldn't he have picked a guy who was clearly the worst out of the bunch?


But seriously. From the first episode I picked Simeon and Matt to get to the final two. Maybe Greg. Way too predictable.

Yeah, it's always been funny to me how the two or three best looking guys are always the contenders and they throw one loser in to keep it "realistic" like Joe last year and Rian this year.

Especially when Mystery himself says in the opener "If you can't do this in jeans and a t-shirt, then you shouldn't do it" five minutes after the group comments that Rian "Needs a makeover BADLY". It completely destroys his premise.

Well it's pretty obvious that all the people on the show have some serious legitimate issues with self esteem and confidence.

Dime store psychologist tells you Tara has self esteem issues to a) think "the game" is a good thing and b) help these guys prey on her fellow women. Probably attention starved as a child too, as evidenced by her need to dress like a ho and go on television with two guys with comically bad nick names.

Mystery makes no effort to hide his hangups about being an introvert who was paralyzed around people especially women.

I don't know anything about Matador's past, but I'm guessing as evidenced by his dress and steroid use that he had body image problems growing up and was probably physically bullied a lot.

Well of course they all have issues, but I'm just talking about the makeover part of it. It seems like Mystery is all about: "Any guy can do it if he knows the techniques" and then the very next minute they all get makeovers and completely change who they are into "his" image of what a guy looking for play should look like.

There's nothing wrong with trying to make yourself look good. That's the least objectionable aspect of "the game", although I'd skip the aviator goggles.
