The line "I've decided to taking up magic" is kinda funny when you know in what show she end up 😂

Hotch is fire on this, we all know he would moved Haven and earth for his team, I like the comparison between him talking down to Jordan and minutes after sweet talking to Garcia and even put a little smile at the end of conversation. This subtle acting I adore. Also Reid ❤😂, so sweet so charming and awkward it's so lovely. Really don't understand the attraction of bad guys. Geeks all the way !

[@TimedRevolver]

It's not that he's talking down to Jordan, it's that he needs her to understand how the team does things. She's clearly not experienced with it, and he would rather she be angry at him but correct her actions than be caught in a lie and destroy any trust people have in the BAU.

[@tinyderppotato5410]

some historical context for this episode: a couple of years before this episode came out there was a book called the game by a neil something that got a lot of publicity, it's basically vipers handbook, and any andrew tate guy. the criminal minds writers would often write episodes about things going on in popular culture to lift subjects. one of my least favourite episode, but I can see why they wanted to use the theme.

[@AL-cc3mj]

love the jordan/emily viper scene it’s so funny and it gives me such bad second hand embarrassment (also the little dig at morgan makes me cackle)

[@alexiltempo]

Reid's storyline this episode was so cute, he was cute, she was cute...

if you ever forget that reid is from vegas stuff like the magic tricks remind you

[@jenniesjourney6780]

Matthew Gray Gubler is actually from Las Vegas and knows magic tricks.

[@LAM38Z]

I was waiting for this one! Did you know it was based on an actual VH-1 Reality show called "The Pickup Artist" from 2007 with just as cringy of an "expert" named "Mystery" down to the "tips" wacky outfits etc. I'm sure you can find it somewhere

[@lifelikelisa]

Ugh! I remember that show. Who could these routine possibly work on? What self respecting woman would fall for this?

[@tiggytiggsboo]

If every girl, boy, and alien isn't in love with Reid by now, well, I dunno what to say 😂

[@KrystalAnn0688]

I really love her & Reid ❤

[@annaschwirian7548]

Personally aholes are not my thing. I prefer the nerdy/bookish boy next door type.

[@alarrim29574]

So Spencer 😂

[@semik4631]

Yeah, basically Reid. Not gonna lie, I'll pick Reid too 😁

[@tessabelle9711]

Courtney Ford is one of my favorite actors. I've seen her in so many things.

[@ScarlettM]

13:40 - If you want to be great first impression with a woman, get her to laugh. Either a clever joke or magic trick...

[@protojager]

To borrow some scumbag terminology, it'll "loosen her up" and she'll "lower her defenses", making it easier to seem trustworthy without actually having to perform any selfless acts or spend a lot of time building that trust.

[@chrisstephens4079]

Is that viper or Andrew tate ? 🤣🤣

[@reginaldwilliams5175]

The actress’ names is Courtney Ford she’s from “Dexter” and “Revenge” with Emily VanCamp!

[@protojager]

This episode is more evidence that sex work needs to be legalized and regulated, it's the world's oldest profession and it will never stop, but having safe, legal, maintained avenues to conduct business will reduce drug use, violence against sex workers, and probably mass shooters.

[@talitacosta8885]

These reactions are so great ❤ it just keeps better and better!

[@susanmarie1804]

She was in Dexter too!

[@theacentricbean]

Wish they would have kept Courtney around, those two were cute together ❤️

[@sharonjoan1970]

Always good to see Joanna Cassidy...Jordan is NO JJ can't wait for maternity leave to be over...

[@ashleydavis2124]

Omg I didn’t know miss girl was here

[@gracedonald2345]

The girl that you were saying is from supernatural she’s also in an episode of how i Met Your mother

[@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195]

What's interesting about the whole pick up artist thing is that they are actually using real psychological tricks that actually work. Not on everyone, not all the time. Your skill at using those tricks is of course also a factor. The pick up artists never want to admit it's a numbers game though and you'll likely fail more than succeed. They also don't want to admit this isn't going to get you a woman it's going to get you a night(if that) with zero chance at anything more. That said, you could convert some of the same tricks to go work on sales though, because they do work. It's all about catching people off guard and manipulating them.

[@Bubaiel]

Most so-called pick up artists just make up weird shit that doesn't work all the time nowadays

[@andidreyes5323]

I have never understood those types of girls, women. I was never one. I literally made a list of personality, character, and physical traits I was looking for when I was 17. I kept that list in my wallet (girl wallets are big). I met my husband of over 20 years, when I was 18, he was 19. But I was just never that kind of girl. I fight for my rights against everyone if I need to. I'd fight for others rights too but I still don't understand staying in the submissive position.

[@annecox944]

She was on an episode of The Big Bang Theory.

[@sophiedophie]

This episode was shocking

[@AL-cc3mj]

I feel kinda bad for jordan in this who I hate to get scolded but hotch 😅

11:45 - I don't get this logic. He is only watching her closely, he's not telling her what to do every step of the way - that's still her job. Once Hotch sees that she is doing well, he'll stop watching so closely. So I don't understand how watching someone can stop them from doing their job.

[@Bvddy99]

Imagine you at work, and working how you normally do everyday. Now imagine your supervisor or boss looking over your shoulder or following you, asking what you're doing and why. Wouldn't you be hesitant to do your job?

[@ScarlettM]

@@Bvddy99 No, not if I'm still learning and the job is very important. That's how you train people - look over their shoulder until you are sure they can handle it on their own.

[@Bvddy99]

@@ScarlettM But you're not still learning. You've been doing the job for months already. You know how important the job is. It's nothing new at this point. You just made a bad mistake
