So currently airing on British TV is a show called KIng of the Nerds, an adaption of an American property - a reality/game show about a bunch of nerds living in a house and competing in a bunch of challenges. It's quite fun, and quite silly, and I'm on it so I thought I should share :P

I didn't see a blue haired meerkat that can use a computer.
Edit: In seriousness, congrats for getting on the show. I'm going to have to watch that later.
That's pretty cool. I liked what I got to watch of the U.S. version so it will interesting to see what is done differently here. The odd part to me is that typically it seems the U.S. does adaptations of UK shows not the other way around.
Who should we be rooting for?
Watching now. It is very cool that you are on it. I have some questions, but I am guessing you can’t answer them yet.
My biggest question is why on Earth did nobody remove their glasses once they knew that they were about to be covered in paint?
Man, you're popular. You seem to be having more cutaway time than anyone else. The leader of the blue team is up there quite a bit aswell.
So the first episode matched what normally happened in the U.S. version. I'm not fully sure who you are in it.
Well, BlueHairedMeerkat is a playtester. Grab a rulebook and see if any of the names are there.
And if he's not in that one, choose a different rulebook.
I was pretty impressed by the music quiz performance. It seems like Kevin shot himself in the foot by (a) scheming and (b) letting others notice.
I'm not sure if he wants his name posted here, so I won't do it. However I did recall him mentioning what his name starts with... I'll just leave that here. https://greaterthangames.com/comment/21227#comment-21227
Ronway, you have mad skillz. But yes, I am Curtis, and yes I do get rather a lot of screen time in this episode...
Had I remembered the playtester names were in the rule book I would looked it up but I did not until after I read other comments this morning. The piece I find odd in this and the US show was that they say this takes place over eight weeks. However, each episode seems to only occur over a day or two at most. You probably can't answer this now but what is done during the rest of the time?
So what kind of math are you studying? They really didn't let you say much, in a fairly annoying way.
It's THE MAGIC OF TELEVISION! Each episode is filmed over two days (day 1 - Nerd War, day 2 - Nerd Off), and then the next day is another episode (except Sundays, which the cast got off).
I guess they must mean that there is one episode coming out over the period of eight weeks and not that you guys are there eight weeks. Keep posting the video links I'm curious to see how it turns out. I'll be rooting for you.
There were a couple points during the video where I had to pause it to verify that the music was coming from the video, and not my own music.
I must say, though. They called the place "Nerdvana", but I didn't see either their library or their board game collection. They had those, yes?
Nope! There were a few books and no board games (except the Bananagrams, which we used to put messages and nicknames above each other's pictures instead of actually playing). To be fair, we were filming sixteen hours a day, so there wasn't really time to play games. (Though one of our sponsors was a board game company, oddly...)
Hmph!
If I may use the words of King Arthur, “On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.”
