King of the Nerds comes back Friday (instead of Thursday) January 23rd for a third season. I enjoyed Season 1 a lot (surprisingly. I didn’t even watch it right away because I assumed it would suck) even if I didn’t like the way it ended. Season 2 was not as well casted but was still enjoyable. Now we have a third season. I keep feeling that this is an easy show to get really wrong. Maybe this season is when that happens but we’ll see… Anyone else planning to watch? ---

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both seasons (though, like you, was disapointed with S1’s ending) and didn’t know it was coming back. Off to tivo it. ---

Giving this a little bump since it airs tonight. ---

I enjoyed season one and season two. I was glad to hear that it was renewed and I am really looking forward to season three. ---

So I watched episode one and I think the cast is better than last season. I enjoyed it. I felt bad for both people in the nerd off. Ori, because he was branded a bad guy because he is clearly awkward and just made a poor joke that everyone took seriously. And the other guy, who lost, because he seemed a decent and interesting guy. That is what I have liked about these show. So many people that seem like they would be fun to hang out with and talk to. Even the type A girl. Anyone else watch? I feel like I’m trying to make Fetch happen and it’s never going to happen 🙂 ---

Saw it, enjoyed it. Couldn’t tell if Ori was being an ass, or like you said, just unwittingly making a joke in poor taste. (I mean, yeah, nerds are socially awkward by definition, but really? you might get away with that joke with a long term friend, but with someone you just met? super-awkward. bad call, dude.) I was glad to see the trivia questions weren’t super-easy like some have been in the past (or at least, they didn’t seem super easy to me, but I’m not a huge anime or kaiju guy, so maybe they were). Could have done with seeing a little less of Curtis…
