Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Reality Show that debuted on TBS in 2013. The show is centered around a group of contestants, each an archetypal example of a Nerd or Geek, competing in a weekly series of challenges related to nerd/geek culture, with the ultimate goal of winning $100,000 and becoming the titular King of the Nerds. Hosted by Robert Carradine Curtis Armstrong.The contestants all live together in a small mansion called Nerdvana. At the beginning of the season, they are divided into two teams, Orange and Blue. Each episode, the teams compete in a challenge called a Nerd War. The losers must then send two of their own into another challenge, known as a Nerd-Off — one participant is selected by the losing team, and the other by the winners. The loser of the Nerd-Off is then sent home. Once the competition is whittled down to five finalists, the teams are dissolved, and it's every man for himself. In the end, only one of them may sit upon the Throne of Games, and be crowned King of the Nerds.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show was cancelled after completing its third season.

comment
The Cameo: The contestants from season one briefly return for a season 2 challenge as zombies. The hosts even deliberately note that they "look familiar". Contestants from both seasons one and two appear in the premiere of season 3's intro, showing them hiding the Throne of Games away.

Chekhov's Gun: Them specifically showing the scene of Zach teaching Jack to spell Kashyyyk in preparation for the nerd war. Guess what word he spells to eliminate Katie.

Elimination Statement: As they are sent off, Curtis will give them a small speech praising their talents, and bidding them to use their skills "back in the real world".
