From the onset, I honestly thought he would win it all. His was the only elimination that got any genuine shock from me. He should return as a tertiary host or something. I kind of want to be his best friend. he had a big personality.

That's funny, because I totally want to be his best friend too! LOL

Goddamn it, finished watching this show yesterday, and my two favorite nerds were eliminated on the first two episodes.....

I liked Virgil though, he's such an asshole, I could relate.

I lol'd when Genevieve said that she could handle her emotions much better than Virgil or someone, then proceded to go to her room 3 minutes later crying for hours.

She had a frown that could take over her entire face.

My absolute favorite "...what?" line was from Danielle saying that going first in the Nerd Bowl Trivia contest was a disadvantage. Even though going first meant she got free pick of whatever category she thought she would be the best in.

Virgil is embracing the love everyone is giving him hardcore. I think his cynical (maybe just realist) heart was melted by the whole experience.

Hendrik and Jon really did seem like cool guys. Wish they would have gotten more time.

For the one person that might care, the cast for season 2 has been released, along with special guests set to appear.

Spoiler

+

Brian, 27 – Urbana, Ill.– Library science scholar who enjoys German-style board games and discussing 18th-century European history. At one time, he had 100 books checked out from the Yale library. Chris, 27 – Waco, Texas – Structural engineer who loves to travel and aspires to work in the space exploration industry. Jack, 24 – Urbana, Ill. – Bioengineering student and fencing and chess champion who enjoys watching anime in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese. Josh, 23 – Grayslake, Ill. – Game vlogger (with nearly 700,000 subscribers), nerdcore rapper and world competitor in card games. Katie, 24 – Pittsburgh, Penn. – Roboticist and puppeteer whose work has appeared on Broadway and who formerly performed in ballet companies. Kayla, 28 – Greenacres, Wash. – An ice hockey player who also holds a master’s degree in space studies and believes she will one day reach Mars. Kelsey, 23 – Canton, Ga. – Quad-lingual Japanophile who is equally as interested in playing video game music on the piano as she is keeping up with fantasy/sci-fi novels and swing dancing. Mary Kate, 23 – Starkville, Miss. – Aerospace engineering student and avid costumer. Nicole, 28 – Milwaukee, Wisc. – Chemist, gamer and former marching band member who currently competes in a Milwaukee roller derby league. Xander, 27 – Los Angeles, Calif. – Vlogger, graphic designer and LARP enthusiast who lost 100 pounds by playing a popular dance video game. Zachary, 21 – Minneapolis, Minn. – Fantasy writer and hardcore gamer who has also memorized more than 300 hours of musical lyrics in genres ranging from J-pop to rock.

A near even split between genders. No international people (or person, as it were last season) this time, and everyone is over 21. I foresee far more drunk nerd drama this time around. Maybe some of those people are notable e-celebs, but hell if I know. Some of the special guests are as follows: Bill Nye (the Science Guy, natch), Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory), Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), Kumail Nanjiani (Franklin & Bash), George Takei (Star Trek), and Yaya Han (her breasts). Also a Revenge of the Nerds reunion, apparently.

I already hate this guy:

Nobody enjoys watching anime in Spanish, Portugese, or Chinese unless they are from said regions or it is animation from said regions.

I thought I was in the Lab thread for a sec

Queen Celeste <3 INV physics nerd Moo being eliminated in the physics episode <3

SO GLAD THIS IS COMING BACK.

Also it looks like the teams this season are Yellow vs Purple

January 23rd, official start date.

http://www.tbs.com/stories/story/0,,268702,00.html

Here's the visuals on all of the new nerds and their questionnaires. All of the new girls look like alternate reality versions of Alana.

Xander says his favorite superhero is... Aquaman. Dude deserves to be publicly executed during the first episode.

Tthey ask the black guy and only the black guy who his favorite black nerd from last season was. There was only one.

Genevine got screwed last year, she should have won in a landslide.

This starts up tomorrow night. I hope it can live up to the standards Opposite Worlds has set for me.
