The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

After hearing that this show was a successor of sorts to "The Big Brain Theory," I figured I had better check it out. Sure, "The Big Brain Theory" had the usual stupid reality TV components that will rot your brain and lower your IQ, but they counter balanced that with some really great challenges which got those neurons making plenty of new connections.WELL, the "King of the Nerds" is basically just 100% brain rot. The winner did NOTHING the entire show other than sit in the corner. The runner-up was shockingly good at everything yet didn't win the final popularity contest due to simple revenge by the losers. My IQ went down quite a few points during this show's run. Fortunately, I've kept all my college textbooks and was able to recover in about 10 minutes of studying.If you analyze this show carefully, you will realize the producers really don't have the proper background to make an "intelligent" program. They simply have a reality TV formula that they are regurgitating over and over. Our taste in entertainment these days IS quite a sad commentary on our culture and proof that there is little innovation but plenty of exploitation.A final thought: of the participants that got enough screen time to get to know, I have to say Ivan really stood out. Not only did he make an impression in the challenges, but his commentary was shockingly intelligent and enlightened. If I were CEO of a large corporation, I'd hire him in an instant. This guy is an asset.

A couple of weeks ago, I was thinking to myself : "Hey self? When do you think that King of the Nerds will be back, they have to continue that show. Then a few days ago up jumps this little ol' season two. This show is a blast as far as low grade reality shows go. This is the most basic of premise, and they end up bringing in the most ignorant of people to fill the teams. However the fact that you get Robert Carridine, and Curtis Armstrong as hosts, and the funnest looking toys, make this show worth watching. The season is short, and it's just a catty bunch of basement dwellers, but it's well produced, and fun. Doesn't rank up there with The Mole, or Big Brother but it's fun.

Honestly, the outcome of this show is so stupid and it definitely defeats the purpose of the show. The point of the show was to show someone who was worthy to be king of the nerds. Celeste won, but she was definitely not worthy. Her area of expertise is supposed to be gaming, but she failed at that area when that was in the competition. People want to say that Celeste won because she has grown a lot as a person throughout the show because she grew confidence, but she was actually rather cocky from the very beginning. I guess everyone just forgot from the very first episode that she thinks she is the most valuable player and was shocked as time went on when people do not find her as a threat at all. Just because she started to have more interactions with the players as the episodes go on, does not mean she gained more confidence. She was very cocky, but she just kept it to herself rather than saying it out loud to everyone else.And it was rather stupid because she was a guest on Conan a few weeks before the out come of the game. That pretty much gave away the fact that she's going to win.In the beginning I enjoyed the concept of the show, but as I watched more, I realized the show is stupid. We all know the only reason Celeste was there until the very end is because no one looked at her as a threat, and the blue team kept her because they looked at her as a valuable asset as a gamer. Then in the very end, she just had to pull the sympathy crap to make sure she wins. Does she represent the nerd community? I don't think so. She didn't do anything to win. They just want someone who is a little better looking to represent the nerds.

This is a must for me because I am a total nerd. King of the Nerds combines many internet celebrities with countless other brains to compete for the ultimate reward. I am especially surprised for their pick on nerds. I knew Jovenshire, or Joshua Ovenshire, one of the nerds on the show, as he was a host and producer over at Smosh Games. He was one of the most loved people ever for everything he did and how he would sacrifice himself countless times to be the one getting hurt on their hilarious...and somewhat humiliating games. But hey it's the internet. Joven was awesome and too see him on King of the Nerds was definitely one of the greatest highlights of this show for me. I was in the biggest state of shock in the history of the state of shocks when I saw himself, his face, on the show. I didn't move for at least 15 minutes. I think for people who are a part of the internet, this is one of the best, or the best show ever for them because there's a good chance for people to know the contestants for this show and the looks on their faces are priceless when they see for the first time Joven or Danielle or anyone else they "know" on that show. They are in a state of shock and the memory of it will last them a lifetime. This show is undoubtedly one of the greatest things TV directors have ever created.
