hmm. Ive got mixed opinions on this subject. Truth is Mystery developed a method to pick up women. And as a magician as we all know, he applied theories of illusion to pick up.
Well why not the show? Its a big trick. True Mystery will get paid but then again, It was long overdue. The world (and us the PU community) is way underestimating the fact that mystery is an illusionist. Do people really think that he'd make a "reality show" and have actors play as ordinary guys and not expect the public to find out? C'mon now.
I'd like to believe that yes he IS making money. But then again it is his years of research that allowed a lot of people (me & you included) to do what we do. His method, let him sell it. Not everyones gonna be good at it.
As far as the actors go, I think he gave the community a smoke screen for us to hide behind. He's hiding us in plain sight. With the obvious controversy, People will look at it as "oh the show was a fake so theres no way pick up is real or legit." or
"The show was a fake, but sure was entertaining...I wonder what else is on?"
With people doubting the art (through the controversey and exposure) it won't be so mainstream, and people will hopefully forget that such a thing exist. So we can all sarge in peace.
Then theres the "The Game" movie.....
my two cents is long sry bout that.
well back to Halo 3

Mystery is a business man/ master PUA. Those are the facts.
