So what do you think about the show?

Yep I get asked that sometimes. I don't know why so many take it so serious. It's just a show for entertainment purposes as all reality shows are. It's not 100 percent staged and it's not 100 percent real either. Those participating in the show (club scenes) have to sign release forms to be filmed. They know they are being filmed they just aren't sure what its for. The writers have to put together interesting plot lines for the shows entertainment value. But otherwise it's a pretty good show but I wouldn't use it the base my game off of.

With that in mind you you have this camp who thinks the magician is a fraud, phony and a douche bag and this other camp who thinks he's Gods gift to pickup, the Elvis of the seduction community and worship him based on their perception of him or limited exposure to him.
I can say years back I used to see him out and while I can testify that he did do well in a social environment, my jaw never dropped because I've seen natural guys do just as good or better.
The best naturals I've seen are better than the best PUA gurus I've seen trust me on this.
There's a black guy I used to see out named Rick that I would put up against any guy that's in the community. He's just that good, cool, laid back, no tricks, no tactics, just solid conversation, confidence and a knack for getting what he wants.
The thing is most guys who exclaim that they were amazed when they see a true PUA in field tend to be the ones who have rarely been out in club environments and rarely have any success with women on their own. I played basketball in high school over 12 years ago, if I played today against a bunch of guys who have never bounced a ball or watched the game they will be amazed at my washed up white boy skills. I noticed the majority of guys in the worship camp are between the ages of 17 - 24, with very limited experience around women and limited social skills and night life exposure.
Most older guys and guys who have had experience with women tend to not fan the guru worship flames. My point here? There is nothing that he is doing that you guys can't do for yourself. He's only showing you a specific way to do it that fits his goals, reality and strategy but he isn't doing anything that natural guys who go out consistently aren't doing; The only difference is he's approaching more people with much more narrow goals and focus.

Anyway I think the show is fun in some ways but like I said it can be very misleading. The main thing I hope it does is put aside these limiting beliefs of what it takes to meet and date women. The one thing I hope it doesn't do is spawn more clones, idol worshipers and naive newbies who think the only way to talk to an attractive girl is by throwing negs, a false misrepresentation of yourself and feeling like you have to play value games in order to be on her level. Watch it and enjoy it but take a lot of it with a grain of salt. Remember they set these type of shows up to have winners and losers to keep the ratings up not for your educational benefit.
