Grow Your Game

[digg-reddit-me]Our close friend Derek Cajun recently appeared on the most excellent Keys to The VIP – as one friend of ours said, it was basically a 30 minute infomercial to just how cool Derek is. Luckily I was able to catch up with him for a quick chat about the show…

Pete: So how did you end up on the show?

Cajun: Well, the director wanted to showcase a guy who wasn’t a good looking natural guy – someone who’d had to learn from scratch how to attract women. Someone from ‘the community’ of guys who read things like Grow Your Game! The show is in Toronto, so he found out I lived there, and contact me after reading about me on the Love Systems website.

As it turned out, I wasn’t able to do the show when they wanted me to, as I was so busy running workshops, so I ended up referring to my cousin Mitch, who was on the show. They had him up against some other guy who “learned how to be cool on the internet”.

But when the time came to film the episode, I ended up being around, so I went along with Mitch as moral support. They filmed a few scenes with Mitch’s challenger, and they didn’t go so well, so they asked me if I’d take his place at the last minute. I’m always up for a challenge, so I agreed – hence the whole Master vs Protégé dynamic on the show!

Pete: Awesome! Did you get to meet the panel?

Cajun: Sadly not. They film the adjudication scenes separately, and at a different time. Apparently Peaches knew who I was, and had read about me, and Sheldon knows about sites like this – the other judges are naturals. I figured there’d be at least 2 guys on the panel that would know what I was up to.

Pete: So be honest man … is any of it staged? Even a little bit?

Cajun: Nope, it’s all real. I mean, obviously, they try to use the best stuff, so there’s some stuff that they cut out, but there are no actors. The girls don’t even know they’ve been filmed until afterwards.

The funny thing was, I had a bunch of great pickups that they only got the audio for because they couldn’t find me with the cameras. The first group I chatted two, there were three models. I asked for the hottest girl’s number, and she says: “I don’t know, I don’t really know you yet”. Then one of her friends said: “What? Fuck, he can have MY number if you won’t give him yours” and it turned in to a bit of a fight about who gets to give me their number.

I heard the director freaked out, started screaming to get the cameras on me straight away so they could use it. It was funny shit man. After that, they always made sure they had the cameras on me no matter what!

Pete: Surely there must be some bits you’re glad they edited out though?

Cajun: hahaha. Yes, of course! In the 3rd game, where they asked me to insult the girls, and then turn it around, I started off with “You guys look like retards”. They bleeped out the word ‘retards’, so you can’t hear it, and I went in to a whole story about having a retarded nephew, that they cut out.

I had to act like a dick, but, I’m glad they cut it out. That’s not the kind of shit I’d talk about in real life, and I’d hate people to think it would be!

I think I come across as a little calculated and manipulative on the show – but at the end of the day, that’s what makes good TV. You’ve only got three minutes after all! I really had to structure what I was doing to get what I needed done in the time frame. In real life, I like to be a lot more relaxed, and just chill out and enjoy talking to girls. I don’t use many ‘memorized lines’ or ‘routines’ in person, but I wanted to show that what we teach at Love Systems really works, in as classy way as I could!

Pete: Thanks for your time buddy!
