Previously on King of The Nerds...
Wow.
The teams were presented with a unique nerd war.
The one thing missing is an anthem!
Both teams overcame disadvantages...
♪ And they all started rumors ♪
Come on, sweetie. Just move.
I can't do that.
To impress nerd experts.
- Amazing. - Amazing.
And team servants of the forsaken orb won.
It was a bitter defeat for team Blextrophy,
and they sent Virgil to the nerd-off.
It hurts.
Team servants of the forsaken orb
tried once more to oust powerhouse Genevieve.
Our hearts weren't in the choice, but our heads were.
But with Celeste's help,
Genevieve managed to win the nerd-off.
You live to fight another day.
The final five nerds were shocked to learn
that the teams have been dissolved.
It's every nerd for themselves.
And Virgil's pursuit of the throne of games
and the crown of king of the nerds ended forever.

One on one, on one, on one, on one.
Genevieve, that was tight.
That was really tight.
I feel like I won that one by the skin of my teeth.
And I actually have, like, blisters on the bottoms of my toes.
Final five.
Final five!
Whoever wants to join me for a drink is welcome.
I'm gonna get a drink in Virgil's honor.
It's sad to see him go.
I would say every man for themselves,
but it's really more accurately every woman for themselves.
You're the last guy of the six of them.
! That's right.
I'm the only man in this house.
I need support.
Just a little bit of male energy.
I wish Virgil was still here.
A lot of people find nerd girls
kind of, like, an alien species,
but I don't really think of it like that.
- Yeah. - I sincerely think of them as genderless.
I'm aware they inhabit female bodies,
but, like, that... that doesn't concern me.
I don't know what to say, man.
Thanks.
Thank you.
You're a good guy.
Final five!
Still alive.
We were wondering if maybe we can move into your room?
Celeste and I thought it might be a good idea
to try and move into the orange room.
I think it would be fun.
We wanna join and have fun and participate.
We just don't wanna be isolated on an island
while all the action is down on the other side of the house.
So they brought up earlier... ♪ LA LA LA LA LA LA ♪
The possibility of moving into this room,
and then of course, it should be a discussion among everyone.
Whatever you... you ladies feel like doing
is absolutely fine by me.
II just... I seriously don't get the whole,
like, "let's dorm it up."
I really don't get it at all.
I would not wanna sleep in the same room as Genevieve.
I don't understand your resistance to it.
Everybody's against each other.
It just seems silly.
She always is skipping,
she's running around singing Disney songs!
You're not the little mermaid!
- You are 28 years old! - Grow the up!
You know, the decision's not made yet.
We'll think about it.
I just wanted to ask a simple question
and she has to turn it into a huge deal.
Like, do the teams that play in the super bowl
sleep in the same hotel room the night before? No.
Everyone has reached their breaking point with Danielle.
It's just bitch, complain, whine, cry.
It is absolutely time for Danielle to go,
and it has been for many weeks.
Uhoh. Drama.
Calling our fellow nerds!
Our banners are gone.
Curtis's voice just resonates in my dreams.
I'm both terrified and aroused.
Zapp brannigan, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, dear.
What is going on?
Welcome to the first individual nerd war.
I'm so glad this team is over.
World of Warcraft can be played as a team game,
but there's tons of stuff that you can do by yourself,
which is generally the stuff that I choose to do.
Goggle up, nerds.
- Crap. - Oh, my gosh.
Watch and learn.
Wow!
And that is this week's nerd war.
That 12-pound nerd ball fell from a height of 14 feet
and broke 4 sheets of 1/4-inch-thick glass
spaced 3 inches apart.
You will be requiring all of your math and physics skills
to try to calculate how many sheets of glass
an object will break under different conditions.
Yay! Something related to physics.
Potential energy... mass times acceleration
due to gravity times the height.
Potential energy.
There are three calculations to be made.
You'll find all the raw data
on the whiteboard up in the radio shack lab,
along with all the calculators and computers you'll need.
Everything that I need to solve this problem
is right up here in my head.
You have until tomorrow morning
to make your calculations and reveal your answers.
The winner of this nerd war will be safe from banishment.
Two of the losing nerds will go into the nerd-off.
I want that immunity so badly.
I want one nerd-off where I'm not worried
that I'm going to be the one going in, 'cause...
Your time starts now!
- Wow, let's get started. - Let's take a look.
We've been given all the conditions needed
to solve the problem.
The mass of the ball,
the height that the ball is from the ground,
the height that the ball is from the first pane.
However, the density of each dropped object will change,
and this object is either a ball or a pig.
And I just... I can't wait to solve all these problems.
I'm so happy!
The challenge is bull.
You've got Genevieve, who writes ap physics guides.
Moo works for NASA and has a master's degree in physics.
I majored in a pre-vet program,
so, like, I never had to take physics
because, uh, we don't care how fast a cat can move.
We care about the composition of its body.
I'm trying to remember everything back from high school.
I'm so frustrated.
What the heck?
It was, like, all fun and games,
and now I have to sit here and do physics problems?
Oh, my God.
I'm pretty deep down the rabbit hole.
I have notes, equations, references, numbers, breakdowns.
I'm swimming in papers.
I never took physics.
I took logic instead.
I did logic puzzles.
Maybe if I can get moo alone,
I can just maybe have her check my work.
I don't want her to do it for me.
I just want her to look and be like, "nope!"
- Surfing the web, moo? - Yeah.
I have what I have, and I think I got it.
I verified it with the example.
It's fun though.
I mean, I'm, like...
It's fun.
It's... it's just also stressful.
- Yeah. - So... but you go into it
with a little more, you know, confidence,
considering it's your job, you know?
That's all, good lady. All right.
I don't know, I thought that was weird.
This competition brings out the weirdness in people.
I think we could help each other,
but we should try and come up with something different,
because if we have the exact same answer
and they're both wrong, we're both screwed.
Mmhmm.
At this point, I'm focusing on my own work,
but Celeste and I are, like, collaborating
and helping one another because we wanna improve
our mutual chances of winning.
You still have the gravitational acceleration.
We've decided to work together
because we wanna have a better chance
in knocking Danielle out of this competition.
Acceleration is -5.8 degrees per second squared.
And we wanna see each other in the top two, so why not?
Oh, my God.
I might be the only one in the house
who's looking to my little pony
to try to solve a physics problem.
- I'm going to bed. - So funny.
- Nighty night. - Good night.
The only thing that I've found
that is even similar to what we're doing
are people who are trying to disprove 9/11
being a terrorist attack.
I have literally found probably ten websites
using an example of dropping a bowling ball
through panes of glass
to explain why the twin towers is a conspiracy.
I have absolutely no idea.
So I'm gonna look at it again in the morning.
Yeah.
But right now, I'm ready for sleep.
Sleep well.
I'd rather not go to sleep.
If I'm gonna lose, I would rather go in and be like,
"I stayed up all night.
"I tried my absolute hardest.
There is nothing more I could have done."
Especially since I'm not super interested
in sleeping in my room since everybody's moved in there now.
So I didn't check the total momentum.
You guys going over it together?
- Mm-hmm. - Well, just how we got...
We have totally different answers.
- I used that one. - I think I operated
off of a different approach than you did.
Yeah. Completely different.
It's like there's six different ways
you can approach this thing. Yeah, that's true.
I'm trying to use density of the glass
and I'm trying to compare the density to something
to get the numbers that I want.
The two key things that need to be right
for this theory to work
is the force impact of the ball when it hits the glass,
which is calculated in joules.
Joule is a unit of measurement implying force.
It's represented in "J."
And I think I have my force impact represented.
Oh, , I'm sorry. Newtons. No.
I have joules of energy, but not Newtons.
All my force impact is in Newtons.
Calling all nerds!
Please join us in the courtyard!
I am absolutely worried
that this is the challenge that's gonna send me home
and I do not wanna go home.
Especially since people knew in high school
I was really good at math and... and physics.
Moo has the largest advantage in this,
but there's always a chance.
You can't get too poo-poo-ey about it.
That's being just a big old fussbucket.
I feel like I'm already wrong.
Just looking at it, I'm like, "!"
Uhhuh. Me too.
Welcome to the Nerdvana testing ground.
Now before each test, you will reveal your estimates
of how many sheets of glass will break
when an object is dropped.
A correct answer will earn you 1 point.
For each pane of glass your estimates are off,
you will be deducted 1 point.
The nerd who has the highest points
at the end of the three tests will win this nerd war
and guarantee themselves a spot in the final four.
Time for test "a."
We have a 14-foot tower with a 6-pound nerd ball.
How many sheets of glass will break
when that nerd ball is dropped?
Moogega?
I have four sheets.
I also chose four.
Let's test your hypotheses!
Don your goggles.
"Ze goggles, they do nothing!"
It sounded like three is too small,
but I can't... I have to trust the numbers.
This is definitely a must-win for me.
Hello? I work for NASA
and I'm gonna look like a fool if I don't get this right.
Five sheets of glass were broken in that test.
Danielle and Ivan, you guessed correctly
and you each receive 1 point.
Whoo!
Genevieve and Celeste, you were off by one,
giving you each a score of -1 point.
I'm kicking myself because I realized
that the mass of the glass added to the momentum
and I didn't factor that in.
Oh, I hope it didn't throw off all of my calculations.
Moogega, your estimate was off by two,
giving you a score of -2 points.
Ugh, I underestimated it.
I'm a conservative... When it comes to calculations.
For test "B," we have an 8-pound nerd ball
suspended 76 inches above 1/4-inch-thick glass
that's spaced 6 inches apart.
All right, let's see your estimates.
- Three. - My estimate is two.
- I have three. - I have three.
Let's test your theories.
Oh, please let there be some sort of extra
upward gravitational force that would make me right.
Three panes, three panes.
No whammies, no whammies, no whammies... stop.
Two sheets of glass were broken in that test.
Shoot.
Which means, Danielle and Moogega, you're right on the money.
Celeste, Genevieve, and Ivan,
you three were off by one pane of glass.
You're gonna guess your way through this?
I did not guess.
Ivan sounded butthurt, for lack of better words.
I was up till 3:00 in the morning.
Looking up conspiracy theories.
Creativity, people.
Now we come to test "C."
The bonus round.
If you estimate this problem correctly, you receive 2 points.
If I don't win today, I will end up in a nerd-off.
I have to win.
I have to win. I have to win.
A 15pound stuffed pig dropped from a height of 76 inches
will break how many sheets?
- Four. - Six.
Three.
Five.
Oh, I like this round, Curtis.
They're all different. I know.
- Celeste? - Five.
Spoke too soon.
Since this round is worth 2 points,
with the correct answer, either Moogega or Ivan
can still unseat our leader, Danielle.
Let's break some glass!
I was gonna say, "let's test these hypotheses."
Come on, increased surface area.
I need this 15-pound plush piggy to fall at a different axis,
because for me to get this right, I need the pig to land
on the greatest surface area possible.
I know, I didn't think about the fact that he's stuffed.
Come on, piggy.
Do six, do six.
Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy.
Six panes, I and will have won and I'll have passed Danielle.
Fly, piggy.
Pigs can fly.
Five sheets of glass were broken in that test.
Danielle... You win the first individual nerd war!
And as a result, you are now safe from banishment.
Thank you.
Wait, really?
Rea... was that a malfunction?
Really?
I just beat a NASA scientist in physics.
What the?
Everybody else overcomplicated things
and I-I really took another route.
I work well outside of my comfort zone, sorry.
For the losing nerds,
two of you will be going into the nerd-off.
Tomorrow morning, Ivan, Moogega, Genevieve, and Celeste,
you will be voting on one nerd.
And, Danielle, tomorrow morning,
you alone will select the second nerd.
Interesting.
I have all the power.
It sucks that Danielle has immunity.
It's basically like she is king of the house right now
and everyone has to cater to her.
This is probably Danielle's dream come true.
And the plot thickens!
Danielle, you are now safe from banishment.
And are guaranteed a spot in the final four.
Ivan, Moogega, Genevieve, and Celeste,
two of you will be going into the nerd-off.
You will be voting on one nerd.
Danielle, you alone will select the second nerd.
Interesting.
She has the power,
and we've handed it to her on a silver platter.
And, Danielle, tonight, celebrity chef Richard blais
will wow you with gourmet science when he creates
a molecular gastronomy dinner for you.
I get food? I'm so excited.
Thank you so much to all the conspiracy theorists of America,
and thank you to high school kids
that do physics on my little pony.
I owe this one to you.
One other nerd will share that meal with you.
- I pick moo. - Thanks, Danielle.
Oh, you're welcome, moo.
I know she's probably having a pretty bad day
being that she lost a challenge in her area of expertise.
I know. I'm a pretty nice girl.
We'll see you in the morning.
That was so nice.
Aww, I didn't mean to make you cry.
I know. I didn't mean to cry.
That was close.
It sucks that Danielle has immunity.
- Good job. - Good job.
I just wanna wipe that smug look off of her face.
Congratulations.
I feel I went such an opposite route
of everybody else, and I thought I was gonna
get the lowest amount of points,
like, 'cause I didn't... No, you were-
you weren't that... like... - No, when I turned around
and saw everybody was within one,
I was like, "oh, this isn't probably gonna be so bad."
Yeah. We were all pretty close.
Except for me.
I trusted my numbers and... yeah.
Every time we have a nerd war, the subsequent nerd-off
is related to the nerd war in theme.
So I'm guessing that the nerd-off
will be somehow physics related.
Uh, speaking of the nerd-off tomorrow,
I wouldn't be mad if anybody voted for me
'cause I am kind of anxious to, like, make up for that,
because it's, like... it's bugging me.
You're crazy, moo.
So I'm putting myself in the nerd-off.
Dun-dun-dah!
I'm not gonna be mad.
I'm not surprised she wants to go in the nerd-off.
She wants to redeem herself.
But what it really does for Daninielle
is it gives her all the power in the house
knowing that whoever she picks is gonna go up against moo.
Okay then. Everybody leave me alone.
It's just like, "here, Danielle.
"Play with us.
"We are you little tokens to play with.
How does it feel to be God?"
So good.
- Thanks for inviting me. - Oh, you're welcome.
Look at these big fancy plates. I know.
We've been eating, like, takeout for weeks.
- Hey, what's going on? - Hi!
- How are you? - Good. How are you?
Richard Blais. Your name?
- Danielle. - Danielle.
- Moo. Moogega. - Moo?
Richard Blais is amazing.
I mean, I've been to a restaurant or two
where they use molecular gastronomy.
It's better than good food.
I mean, this is a mixture of chemistry and nutrition.
We like to use science and/or technology
if it can make the food more delicious.
- That's awesome. - And that's the goal of everything.
- Ooh. - Oh, my goodness.
It's not chicken. It's sweetbreads.
Oh, my gosh. It's so good.
It was like no food I've ever had before.
We have the crispy pork belly.
- Oh. - Wow.
- My goodness. - In the cocotte,
we have macaroni and headcheese.
But it also was, like, comfort food at the same time.
Oh, my God. It is so good.
Mmhmm.
We're gonna make burnt banana ice cream.
I'm really, like, proud of this technique
'cause I'm a nerd, I guess.
- It felt like a magic show. - All right, so...
- and that's okay to eat? - Yeah.
So the nitrogen is just a coolant.
He made ice cream and there was smoke involved.
It was science.
- Congrats on the win. - Thank you.
- Good luck tomorrow. - Bye!
I'm down with the molecular gastronomy.
He's like a food magician.
A food-gician, if you will.
To your dinner.
Yay.
This could be my last night.
Oh, stop.
Now, would you be nervous going against Genevieve?
Because, like, I'm in between Genevieve and Ivan,
but, like, I know you'd beat Ivan.
Yeah. I don't want anybody to go home.
I know.
I'm so powerful right now.
It's like I have this little power trip going on.
I hope I win again because this is great.
I wouldn't be as mad if...
well, she's definitely a bigger threat too, honestly.
I don't think I have a target on my back,
but at the same time, I'm always worried.
So I am forced to talk to Danielle.
Oh, gosh, it's gonna be exhausting.
I just wanted to see what you were feeling
'cause I know, like, people can plead their cases,
but it's ultimately who you think you can beat.
It's not of who I think I can beat.
It's at this point who I'm most afraid of.
And I'm also gonna have the respect
of telling the person so that they're not,
like, caught off guard. Yeah.
'Cause I know what it feels like
to have the rug pulled out from under you, you know?
I don't really have to talk. I just have to nod my head,
and just agree, and be like, "yeah, I know."
The two people I'm most worried about are Ivan and Genevieve.
And I think it's mostly because they stepped up
and did the leader thing. Yeah.
- You know what I mean? - I felt that way too.
Yeah... I know.
Genevieve scares me.
Like, I'm afraid of Genevieve myself.
- I'm terrified. - Yeah.
Just agree with her. Reassure her.
Make sure she feels good about her decision.
Just to get her eyes off of me.
It's not that I don't find you scary.
It's just that I find you a less scary of the options.
'Cause it's not, like,
"oh, I think I could totally beat Celeste."
It's not like that at all.
I-I am confident I could beat Celeste.
I am confident I could beat moo,
and I am confident I could beat Ivan.
I'm not confident I could beat Genevieve.
I need to get rid of Genevieve.
- Have you been talking to her? - Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna talk to her because I haven't...
like, it's not a 100% thing.
Just don't pick me and we're good to go.
I'm happy, you're happy.
We're all happy.
Except for the person that leaves.
I feel bad sending anybody against moo.
I know.
So I pull Ivan and Genevieve aside
and I say, "let's go talk."
And as we're on our way to the kitchen,
I see the throne of games.
Not the throne of comic books.
Not the the throne of fantasy knowledge.
Not the throne of physics formulas.
The throne of games.
And from the get-go, the two gamers in the house
have been myself and Celeste.
It's called the throne of games, right?
So the final is gonna have gaming in it.
It's going to, and if Celeste is here,
it's not gonna be an even playing field.
It's gonna be rough. It's gonna be rough.
The hardest part about the night before nerd-off
is you can't leave anyone alone.
Because when people are alone,
that's when they conspire against you.
So it's almost like this social dance.
It's like a waltz of death.
Like, if you were Danielle, you would pick Celeste.
And if you were Danielle, you would pick Celeste.
Only because I would feel
like putting her in for the third time.
- Yeah. - Obviously I, you know,
I don't wanna put myself up for a nerd-off.
- Mm-hmm. - And Celeste is at zero.
It's true. Every single other person
in this house has had to do the nerd-off.
And skill set-wise she's your biggest competition.
And skill set-wise, she's closer to me than you are.
Mmhmm.
I do have an alliance with Celeste,
but if it came down to survival or going to the nerd-off,
I would vote for Celeste
rather than going to the nerd-off myself.
That's the way the cookie crumbles,
and in life, you suck it up.
Okay, so I think I'm gonna do Celeste.
Am I an? No matter what the choice is-
- I'm literally gonna tell her it's just because
she's got the same skill set as me,
you guys tied in the challenge,
and she's never been in a nerd-off.
That's what I'm going with.
That's the points that you have to bring too.
I almost, like, want to write her a note,
and then hopefully she wakes up before me
and avoids me the whole day.
Did you see the note I wrote? I did.
I don't know if I could have been more tactful than I was.
I just didn't want to blindside her.
I know.
I woke up this morning.
There's a note beside my bed
saying that I'm going to the nerd-off.
I was told last night to my face
that I wasn't going to the nerd-off.
And it looks like the conversation
with Ivan and Genevieve changed her mind.
How is that fair?
Why don't I just get the balls
to go up to Danielle, as much as I don't want to,
and talk to her about this?
Genevieve threw me underneath the bus.
And it's unfortunate, 'cause I really liked her as my friend.
And I wouldn't have minded if it were her and I in the final two.
Danielle, can I talk to you? Sure.
The more that I'm realizing that people are playing hard,
the more I want to play hard.
My strategy is I'm gonna go cry for a bit,
and maybe I can persuade her to put Genevieve in the nerd-off.
Obviously, I got your note.
Not to be rude about this, but I would have preferred it
not in a note, but directly to me this morning.
Maybe that's why it hit me hard too,
because it's just waking up to a note on my luggage.
I mean, I'm being totally honest.
My first instinct was to pick Genevieve.
And had I not had a talk with Genevieve,
I would have picked Genevieve.
I don't know what you heard from Genevieve last night.
But that girl, being on that team,
she's the reason why we always won those challenges.
So if you were me, you would vote for Genevieve?
I'm not going to throw her under the bus, but sh...
well, part of me feels like she didn't have a problem
throwing you under the bus and that's...
wow. That's really shocking to hear she mentioned my name.
She said she would never do that.
Bull. Sorry.
I mean, I don't wanna, like, call someone out on it,
but that's definitely not true.
She said, "if you really want moo to stay",
the best chance of that would be to put Celeste in the nerd-off."
I'm not playing nice.
This is not nice Celeste anymore.
I'm gonna try to cry.
I'm tired of being quiet in this house.
I'm tired of being self-conscious
because I don't know as much as everyone else in this house.
And I knew Genevieve was gonna do that last night.
She was gonna use her persuading sk... Genevieve's really good
at telling people on the blue team how she feels.
And she can convince people.
I'm just telling you.
Maybe I was even manipulated by her.
I don't know.
I have no problem saying that I think Genevieve
is one of the biggest threats in this house.
- I'm sorry. - No, it's fine.
I knew there was gonna be a breaking point for her
where she'd turn my back.
I just didn't think it'd be like this.
Everyone is out for themselves
and everyone's playing dirty and hard.
Calling all nerds!
Hello, nerds.
Hello.
Today, two nerds go head-to-head in our nerd-off.
The winner will stay to compete for the crown, $100,000...
And the right to sit atop the throne of games!
The loser goes home immediately.
Celeste, Ivan, Moogega, Genevieve,
you have voted, and your tallies are here.
By unanimous consent, Moogega goes into the nerd-off.
What a surprise.
Moogega, you obviously voted for yourself.
Why did you do that at this stage of the game?
I wanted to go into the nerd-off just to satisfy myself.
Wow.
This is the time in life to take risks.
So that's what I'm doing.
I feel confident.
I don't feel cocky though.
I'm hoping that in this nerd-off
I can rely on intuition and just get it done.
I have before me the tablet of power.
Thanks.
Danielle, who do you choose... To go into the nerd-off?
I just want to preface this really quick by saying
I really wanted to tell this person,
and I did not have the opportunity, but it was not intentional,
and I was not trying to be sneaky, and I'm very sorry.
But I vote Genevieve into today's nerd-off.
Danielle, who do you choose to go into the nerd-off?
I'm very sorry.
But I vote Genevieve into today's nerd-off.
Genevieve, you will be going into the nerd-off
for the third time.
I'm really upset
because everyone labeled me a threat.
I was so hopeful that for, like, once...
for once, it wouldn't be me.
Why Genevieve?
I think Genevieve is intelligent and adaptable
and well-rounded.
I've always been threatened by Genevieve.
And I feel a little bit stupid
because I feel like I kinda got manipulated yesterday.
This is, like, my one opportunity to get rid of her,
and I need to do it.
Genevieve, Moogega, step forward, please.
Bend the knee.
You will have two hours to prepare to engineer
the tallest free-standing structure you can.
You may rise.
And good luck.
May the best nerd win.
Do you wanna talk to me?
I'm just gonna go practice, you know.
Go process. Okay?
I feel betrayed by what Celeste did.
She just throws me under the bus.
Celeste is always verbally downgrading her intelligence,
and I think it's deliberate on her part to fly under the radar.
I lost a friend today.
I'm sorry that she's been
in three nerd-offs, but, like, it's not the fact
that she was a leader that made her a target.
She's... she's brilliant. I understand that
because I've been teaming with her.
I'm playing the game just like Genevieve.
If I haven't been to a nerd-off,
obviously I'm doing something right.
I definitely think that I have an advantage as an engineer.
In general, I love building things,
and I've played with my share of blocks when I was a kid.
This w... I've been preparing with stacking various objects,
making strong foundation, making sure the center of mass
remains in the center so that it doesn't topple over.
Stacking my heart out. Oops!
I'm worried that because moo
has a mechanical engineering degree,
she's going to be a super stacker.
My strategy is to take my time
and try and make my structure as stable as possible.
If your thing falls over, you're just done for.
Calling all nerds!
Join us in the courtyard!
Cool.
Welcome, nerds.
Genevieve, Moogega, today you will battle each other
to see who can engineer the tallest free-standing tower.
You've been given an assortment of nerdy objects
with which to build a free-standing structure.
The first tower to 10 feet wins.
If neither tower reaches 10 feet,
then the tallest tower at ten minutes will win the nerd-off.
I want moo to win today.
My biggest threat in the entire house is Genevieve.
The girl just keeps coming back.
That just proves that she is the person
we need to get out asap.
Now, you've also been given nerf guns.
You can use these to try to shoot down your opponent's tower.
So, are you ready?
Then let's start building!
Good luck.
We need to build a tower with Nintendo 64 cartridges, rulers.
I've built a lot of things already.
Things that have, you know, flown in Antarctica
and gone to crazy places.
It's just not with Nintendo 64 pieces.
Go!
It's interesting how they
stood those books on end right out of the gate.
You kind of expect nerds to be hitting the books,
- don't you, Bobby? - Ha.
I knew from my practicing that books were a really good base,
especially if you square them off.
I got that idea from tutorials
on how to build houses with cards.
Both Genevieve and Moogega have hit the 3-foot mark
at the same time.
They're both looking extremely confident,
like they're both gonna win this.
This is gonna be close.
I question the value of paperback books,
when you consider she's only at 4 feet.
So everything that she does from 4 to 10
is going to be on that structure of paperback books.
It looks like the paperback book idea
- didn't pan out for her. - No.
I don't think she's going to make that mistake again.
My tower just fell, and moo's is already over halfway there.
I have no idea if I can catch up.
Genevieve is 3 feet behind Moogega.
She's got a lot of catching up to do.
Things are getting very tense.
Now look at what Moogega's doing now.
It looks like she's got
a vhs/rubik's cube/dagwood sandwich going here.
Single Rubik's cube at the middle of the tower.
Moo's structure is stressing me out.
She's got one single Rubik's cube.
Moo, what are you doing?
We're all so tense.
Danielle's eating her hair.
I've got my hands in my face, barely able to look.
It's terrible.
Genevieve is just a hair above 6 feet
and Moogega is just at 6 feet.
You know, this could be a cinderella story, right?
Or tortoise and the hair is probably more appropriate.
- Come from behind. - Yep.
I'm realizing as I'm building this, that by stacking things,
I'm not going to reach the full 10 feet.
I have to start thinking more creatively.
So I decide to take the rulers
and see if I can do something with them vertically
and perhaps get a little lift that way.
Three minutes left!
She's attempting to put a game console
on top of a bunch of old games.
This might put Genevieve at 10 feet.
Oh,.
Oh, I can't stand this.
Moo, shoot it down before she's at ten.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, no.
Don't let Genevieve take this one home.
Genevieve is at 91/2 feet.
Shoot it. Oh, my God.
Shoot it.
Oh!
Genevieve is at 91/2 feet.
Oh, my God. Shoot it.
It is having no effect.
The tower is standing up against a barrage of nerf attack.
The nerf gun is a last-ditch effort.
I don't wanna waste time trying to shoot her tower down
when I could be constructively working on my own.
This nerf gun is useless.
I turn and run back around and... ooh! Oh!
No!
Everything has come crashing down for Moogega.
Moogega's entire tower went right back down to the ground.
Okay, start again.
I notice that my tower is weaving in the wind back and forth.
So I'm going to take things down
and restructure and see if I can add some more stability.
Now Genevieve is back down to 7 feet.
I am so confused by her strategy.
One minute.
Whoever is closest to 10 feet when the time runs out
wins the nerd-off.
At this point, I know that I'm not utilizing the resources
to their fullest capacity.
So I'm just gonna build it as tall as I can
and hope that the time runs out.
Oh, if she makes this stick, she's reached 10 feet, I think.
Steady.
30 seconds left!
I can't watch.
I can't watch this.
There's only seconds left
and I have no idea how she's doing this,
but moo is actually catching up.
Five, four, three, two, one!
And Genevieve wins this nerd-off!
It's oka... ooh!
It's the leaning tower of moo.
Genevieve, you live to fight another day!
I have to credit my win to the fact that I was homeschooled.
For were I not bored at home and forced to entertain myself
by building things in my room, I may not have succeeded.
And you wonder why we're afraid of you.
Today's outcome was the worst scenario possible.
As much as I love Genevieve, that girl is scary.
Moogega, it's no surprise that a rocket scientist
came close to claiming the crown.
But we hope you will take your jet-propelled brain
back to the jet propulsion laboratory
and boldly go where no moo has gone before.
Bye.
I love you. I'll miss you.
We all love you.
I don't know. When I was a little kid,
I used to build , like, out of blocks and legos.
Excuse my language... I'd have raped this challenge.
I would have definitely beat Genevieve in this one.
I'm positive.
Congratulations, nerds.
You've beaten seven of your fellow nerds
to become the final four.
- Yeah. - Yay!
Final four, baby!
There's a 25% chance that I could win $100,000,
and that is way better than any odds in Vegas.
Destruction incarnate.
I am sad to leave Nerdvana.
It is the paradise,
the ultimate level of nerd levels, you know, Nerdvana.
And here at Nerdvana, I've learned a lot
about the nerd culture beyond my scope.
I think that I've learned that anything is possible really.
If things that can happen is beyond your imagination,
then don't let your imagination limit what can happen.
There really is no limit.
I thought she was gonna win by a landslide.
Be careful what you wish for, Bobby.
Wow.
