The Pick-Up Artist is a tale of transformation. For these eight lovable losers, "socially awkward" is the understatement of the year, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Enter Mystery, best-selling author and ultimate pick-up artist - a former nerd from the Great White North who has discovered the secret to wooing women. Under his expert tutelage, he'll guide this group through the rough waters of romance and help them find the courage to overcome their biggest fear - talking to women. Aided by his faithful wingmen, Matador and J Dog, Mystery will teach these average guys how to turn the women of their dreams into the women of their reality. In each episode, one contestant will be declared the winner and granted immunity from elimination, while one sad sack will be sent packing. After eight weeks, one winner will be named "Master Pick-Up Artist" and awarded $50,000. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will crack under the pressure? And who will become - The Pick-Up Artist?
