Ironic considering how much nerds HATE spoilers.

Ivan glaring at Virgil was a bit on the creepy side.

Ivan is real full of himself.

If I was Josh, I would have been sure I was going on the chopping block by my team. I sure would have been in the middle of that Danielle/Moogega sandwich as a nice parting prize!

Well, yeah. I can't think of one I've watched more than one episode of. Unless Series 7: The Contenders counts.

I think they're all full of themselves, but Ivan is a little less annoying than Josh or Virgil. Ivan at least looks kinda fun to hang with, although that stare-down "tell me the truth" thing definitely showed another side to him, one I'm not sure I like. There's a lot of ego hidden in there.

The way things are going they're going to have to change the name to Queen of the Nerds.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

Well, I'm assuming its only a matter of time before Wil Wheaton gets involved now.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

I was happy to see they got Frontalot and Garfunkle & Oates this last week. That's legit nerd cred.

If Wheaton gets involved, then they better get Coulton for a musical round too. Hodgman for debate/literary. And Stan Lee while they can.

I was surprised that MC Chris wasn't a judge. He's what I think of when I think of Nerdcore rap.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

I've really enjoyed this show. I just wish Alana and Joshua would have been the first two eliminated. (I know, I know.) As far as the girls, I was crushing on Danielle a bit until her personality turned me off. (From the show; haven't seen her web stuff yet.) Celeste is pretty hot, but not super cute. Mooega is probably the best all around.

But as someone on the first page said, I'm digging Genevieve.

Oh, and the way they've had to drag some stuff out to reach a full hour has been a bit rough at times. They should show a little more interaction between the Nerds to fill time, not recaps and Curtis' counting and explanations. Looking forward to season two, though.

Yeah, Danielle has been kind of bitchy and whiny the last 2 episodes.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

Never put yourself into an elimination match.

Don't know which grates on my nerves more...Danielle's bitchiness or Genevieve's crying.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

They really came up with some good rules for this show. I love that the winner of the nerd war got to pick one of the nerd-off contestants.

And I loved that they had the Nerf gun option in the nerd-off, even though it backfired in the most horrible way for Moo.

The final should be pretty good.

It was swaying so much at the end she might have been able to knock it down with the nerf gun.

And Danielle constructing a BS story about learning physics over night was just stupid. She just guessed. Own up to it

I can now see why we haven't established a permanent moon base yet. The NASA engineer couldn't even calculate a simple gravitational potential example that used to be a fairly common high school problem.

I didn't think she said anything that was BS, she stayed up all night probably reading up on how to do the math and calculations. Doesn't seem to be far fetched.

Sad to see Moo choke like that, as she's the only one that doesn't seem overly annoying and fairly normal personality.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

I was so hoping Danielle would go home here, although that wouldn't ramp up the tension anywhere near like it was in this episode.

If any of the other 4 had to go, I was hoping for Celeste. (Especially when she was mad; I was hoping she'd just punch Danielle. lol)

Sad to see Moo go home. She has such a pleasant, buoyant personality and brilliant smile. (Being cute didn't hurt either.)

Should be interesting to see what they do next week. (My DVR cut off so I don't know if there were any previews, but I find it interesting to see whether 2 are eliminated early and the final is head to head or if there is, for lack of a better term, a fatal four way.)

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

Had I been Moojega I would have thrown the damn Nerf gun at Genevieve's tower. They never said you couldn't use it in that way. Worst case scenario, she loses anway. Best case scenario, she sends the cry baby home.

The real issue I have with this show is that the contestents have become so unlikeable.

Re: King Of The Nerds - TBS

Do we think this will come down to a head-to-head-(to-head) challenge or will it just be a jury of the other 9 eliminated contestants? If the latter, Danielle doesn't have a chance.
