Grayfang Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Has anyone else been following King of the Nerds? It's a new reality show on TBS pitting nerd against nerd, eliminating someone every week. The nerds all stay at Nerdvana and do things like debate about superheroes, cosplay, play giant games of chess, and build giant Rubik's cubes. I highly recommend checking it out.I also wanted to put it out there that Genevieve and Danielle are almost if not just as annoying as Alanna and Virgil. Alanna was more pathetic than anything.Ivan or Moo to win! (personal prediction) John was my absolute favorite *metalhead growl!* Level 2 Pandarian AdventurerSTR:7 DEX:2 STA:1 CON:6 WIS:5 CHA:5.5Daily Battle LogChallenge 2 Challenge 1"Don't kill yourself in the machine shop; I don't want to deal with the paperwork."

Laney Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've been meaning to watch it since I know Yaya Han guest starred, but I figured it's just another fake "reality" show Level 3 Time Lord AdventurerChallenge Thread| | Cosplay Blog | | Link to comment
Grayfang Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Eh- it is "just another reality show" in that there is a lot of unneeded drama (see list of annoying characters) and a lot of cocky attitudes, but at the same time I find it fun to see what kind of nerdy challenges they have to deal with, and what celebrity judges they have (george takei!). Plus the participants are (imo) pretty relate-able. I think it's worth checking out, just to see if it's something that will entertain you. Plus the nerd anthem they reated last week is pretty catchy. You call me a nerd like it's a bad thingBut earth is a kingdom, and nerds are the kings...

As soon as I saw the commercials I was like "YES, Finally!", but since it's late at night I can't seem to stay up to watch it. since I missed a few episodes (i like to watch things in chronological order) I'm gonna wait til someone posts episodes or DVD.From what i have seen though, it kinda reminds me of survivor, "just another reality show", I'm still curious on who will win though...

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Caught that episode the other night, first time I've seen it. Going to rewatch the series, it was awesome, plus I have a thing for nerd girls and find all 3 still on the show damn sexy, so I'll watch for that reason too.

bigm141414 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I like how on the contestant questionnaire every single one of them chose Telsa and not Edison. They are good nerds. "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Drewstein69 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 You could also stream it as well. Here's a link I use for it http://fullseries.net/category/king-of-the-nerds/ I'm pretty sure Danielle or Genevive are going to win even though I was going for Moo "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- Charles Bukowski Link to comment
