King of The Nerds (2013) s01e04 Episode Script
Supernerds
1 Tomorrow's gonna suck.
Joshua convinced Danielle he was going to vote for himself.
I'm just gonna vote for me.
But when he voted for Danielle instead Danielle, you will be going into the nerd-off.
A civil war began.
You wouldn't lie to someone if they were your friend.
With her teammates rooting against her, Danielle battled Brandon in the nerd-off goal! Whoo! And won easily.
I pretty much just got slaughtered.
With team servants of the forsaken orb worried about future conflict That's gonna be your mess to clean up.
Everybody's favorite nerd said good-bye I'm gonna miss you guys.
And Brandon's hopes of sitting atop the throne of games and being crowned king of the nerds were dashed.
You did a really awesome job, Danielle.
Thanks.
I'm feeling kinda like a badass because I don't think anybody expected me to win.
That really happened? My team almost seemed disappointed.
Screw you guys.
Brandon.
We definitely knocked out the soul of the other team.
I'm that much closer to getting my crown.
How was the transition from working the controls on the r.
C.
Car to the bigger ones? It's irrelevant.
Yep.
I would like to think that me and Danielle can move forward.
I know that it's still in the back of her head.
She's kind of a ticking time bomb.
Nice chatting with you guys.
Joshua has hurt the morale on orange team.
Hope the drama isn't too bad on orange team.
It's there's no drama.
We all love each other.
There's a social wound there, and it's going to get infected.
Who didn't go through an Indiana Jones phase where everyone wanted a bullwhip? I used to have a crappy one.
I know she sounds okay.
At some point if it's organic and she wants to talk about it, then that's her choice, but at this point we have to rally around the competition to be a team together.
Danielle has every right to be mad.
I just don't want it sitting in the back of her head, like, unresolved.
I know, but when the wounds are less fresh, my friend.
Whatever she might feel, whether it's "oh, my God, it's three against one", so I need to play nice," or "oh, my God, I'm gonna see these burn," I don't know, but tonight's not the night to dig that out.
I think we'll be fine from here on out.
I believe you.
And tomorrow's the new day.
I wish I'd done the fire bullwhip.
- Good morning, Celeste.
- Morning.
- We got French toast, pancakes.
- Pancakes.
Nice.
It's a new day and let's get ready to win a nerd war.
We don't like what losing tastes like.
We haven't done a swimming challenge yet.
If there's a swimming thing, I recommend me.
What the heck? Awkward.
I'm really good at swimming.
Calling all super nerds! Calling all super nerds! Come on, they're dressed up in superhero outfits.
That's so cool.
Rockin' those abs.
But it's so nerdy.
We're all nerds.
Did you know that? This week's nerd war is A live debate on the topic of superheroes! This was the thing I did not wanna do.
And now I'm totally out of my comfort zone.
You will find your debate topics in your war rooms.
It is up to you to choose which member of your team debates which topic.
You'll be judged by three experts in the field.
I'm really excited because maybe they got Joss Whedon or Paul Dini or grant morrison or Um, any of the other guys that do stuff.
You have two hours to prepare for the debate.
Good luck, nerds.
And back to Nerdvana.
What's that? You want us to debate? Oh, oh, hey, let me go and look at my resume real fast.
Uh, oh, yeah, "hosted a live geek debate show.
" Bring it.
Come on, nerdman.
Let's hit it.
- To the lair! - To the lair! Well, well, well.
Okay, get on in here.
So we're starting to figure out who gets what topic.
I have zero experience with debates.
I'm.
If you could just give me the easiest topic to debate.
Yeah, okay, so we're gonna give you And you'll be debating against that one.
Celeste knows nothing about comics.
And she gets stage fright.
Stage fright plus not a lot of knowledge disaster? I'll take one.
I like one better.
I'm arguing that mutants should be serum-ed to take away their powers.
That's actually the topic of the current Joss Whedon amazing X-Men series astonishing X-Men Joss Whedon might be one of the people! Going into debates like this, it's very important to think of the opposite side of it so you have your rebuttal ready.
Yeah.
I'm in my element.
These topics are like nothing for me.
I would like to do the "superheroes attract supervillains.
" "Superheroes attract supervillains.
" I'd really like that one.
I immediately attached to the presence of good guys attracting bad guys and causing more problems in society versus benefits.
Because I've actually done an argument - like this before.
- Okay.
Joshua is bragging about how he's this great debater.
If you have all of this experience, like, why do you get to take the clear easiest topic? I don't wanna do the preferable one.
Comic books are not my forte.
- Are you more comfortable with this one? - Yeah.
If you feel like that one's easier for you, then I'm happy to take this one.
I have to debate on why it's better to be born into superpowers than it is to be genetically altered.
So go ahead, please take this one.
- Okay.
- We need to win this nerd war.
I'm tired of having to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
So do you wanna read your for us and we can offer suggestions? Yeah, yeah.
Yay for being Superpower comic reading.
Superpowers that come to people later on in life is much better because they have passed their awkward stages of puberty.
Whereas children with powers don't know their own strength and have the possibility of hurting their siblings or parents.
You have a furrow in your brow.
You have to tie into the question better.
It's a rough draft.
One thing I think is you need more specific examples.
And that's why I was going to be pulling from nyx, 'cause in nyx, the girl has the power to stop time and when she stops time to move, she moves out of the way of a bullet that's coming at her and then it shoots a teacher.
I don't think that's addressing the question enough.
In the beginning, Genevieve and I did connect over Batman.
But now there's definitely an underlying resentment on both of our sides.
Hey, Celeste.
I have some tips for yours, Celeste, whenever you feel up to it.
I'm a little worried about Celeste.
Celeste is a little stressed out.
I mean, I've helped Celeste a little.
Alana's been helping Celeste a little.
It's currently unclear how beneficial it's all gonna be, but we're trying.
Okay, so immunity to prosecution is totally ridiculous.
So here's the reason why.
Just as a society we're already used to the idea of human being with different levels of abilities being governed under the same law, mutants are just a natural extension of this.
You just draw out the line a little bit more.
Maybe even do, like, a little motion.
There's just so many things going through my head right now that I can't even think straight.
It's, like, it's just preposterous.
It's just completely absurd.
I don't like looking dumb in front of people.
I pres okay.
Okay.
I presume there should be som okay.
There should clear okay.
Okay.
All right.
Number one.
How are you feeling about yours right now, Danielle? I wanted the one Joshua had.
I'm arguing a superhero should be able to act without fear of prosecution.
I can help you with yours.
I don't want Joshua's help because he's a liar that cannot be trusted, so You are in the stance where a theoretical argu listen, you're the expert at debating! Why do I have to take the hardest topic? I'm not a - honestly, you're stressing me right out! - What was that? - I don't know.
Hark, is that drama I hear? You did this, fyi.
You're a lying piece of.
You want me to trust you and you're a lying piece of.
The only person that Joshua cares about is Joshua.
If we lose today's nerd war, I would wanna blame Joshua completely.
He's the master on all this.
He's so great at debating.
This is what he does for a living.
He knows everything about comics, but he's gonna take the clear easiest topic.
And when I said that's the one I want, he said "no, no, no, I'm doing that one.
" I'm doing that one.
" Okay, well, I wish- - because you know, he's an asset to the team and I'm not.
It didn't h I don't understand why I got voted for when I've done nothing but put the team first and he's copped out on everything.
If we can get through this, there isn't gonna be any elimination on our side.
And if we come to a place where we need to take somebody off, then we've all seen what he's put you through.
You have no idea! He is a terrible person.
Life! Why is life so hard? This isn't Nerdvana right now.
It's nerd hell 'cause we have to keep Danielle happy.
I hate my team.
- Breathe, my friend.
- Oh, yeah.
Danielle might be shooting a lot of negative energy towards me, but I'm not gonna let that ruin the nerd war.
Wow, we look like nerdy geeks.
I can't believe I thought that nothing bad would come from the last endeavor between me and Danielle.
Shoulda saw this one coming.
Feel powerful, feel triumphant.
Shout your truth! I love superheroes and I'm so excited to get to debate about them.
I'm ready to rock 'n roll.
The audience was about 30 times bigger than I expected.
I was putting the audience at maybe, like, seven.
Let's introduce our three expert judges.
Please welcome the director of debate and forensics at usc, Gordon stables.
Please also welcome two world-renowned experts in the field of comic book superheroes, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, also known as Jay and silent Bob! We are not worthy.
Oh, my God, it's Jay and silent Bob! We are not worthy.
Jay and silent Bob.
What the are they doing here? Oh, my gosh, I have to do public speaking in front of these guys? Oh, no.
Welcome to the first Nerdvana superheroes debate! The first topic is: First up, it's alana versus Ivan.
Going up against Ivan, I need some sort of oomph, and I can oomph when I have my boobs out.
I really wish I had a lower cut shirt.
Let the debate Begin-begin-begin.
It is not preferable to be born with superpowers.
Superheroes like spider-man learn early on about their responsibilities of their powers because they've never had them before.
Captain America will throw himself in front of a bullet to save his fellow man, uh, because he once was the weaker and knows anyone can become great.
We need people who know what it feels like to be weak or people who who knows who know what it feels like to lose everything.
We need our heroes to come from us.
Alana actually does have a lot of good points.
But if she's gonna wanna win with those points, she's really gotta back it up with some confidence.
Heroes who are born into their powers inherently have a chance to have their skills honed much more than if they were genetically enhanced.
Superman is moral because of his upbringing.
Thor, aquaman, and wonder woman, they are all born into this world, and as a result, they stay true to their colors.
Ivan's argument is weak.
He's completely ignoring that all these superheroes, they've all gone crazy at some point or another.
Genetic powers are erratic.
Spider-man can lose his powers purely because of his own mental state ala the spider-man 2 film.
Also, the amount of villains that are created genetically are staggering.
Life lessons create stable heroes.
Genetically created heroes are playing God.
What are you thoughts about this round of the debate? You know, alana, I thought you had maybe one of the best single arguments about the importance of superheroes that know what it means to be weak.
But I didn't hear much about any villains.
You know, you only talked about the superheroes.
In either argument, I'm looking for nature versus nurture.
Aren't you both discounting what kind of values are shoved into you or up you? - Well said.
So, who won this debate? Uh, overall I thought this one was pretty close, but I'm gonna have to give it to Ivan.
Alana, I thought you were very honest and very true to us.
So I give it to her.
Uh, presentation-wise, uh, Ivan was definitely stronger, but that shouldn't matter if the content is strong.
Still, I think he edged you out a little bit, just a just this much.
So I'm gonna go Ivan.
If this was just a paper and if she just had to write it down, alana would have won.
But the fact that she had to present it is what led to her folly.
The second topic is: Next up, it's Genevieve versus Joshua.
Good luck.
Genevieve does know a lot about comic books.
But come on, you're going up against me.
Joshua, if you wanna get into details with me, bring it.
To say that superheroes attract supervillains is ignorant.
Evil will exist whether good is there or not.
For example, you try to take all the superheroes out of a city, crime will skyrocket exponentially.
For example, in mark Millar's the dark knight returns, Batman goes into retirement and what happens while he's gone? Gotham city become a gangland.
Evil prevails when superheroes aren't there to kick some ass.
Whoo! Yeah! Genevieve, your rebuttal? First of all, I'd like to point out that it wasn't mark Millar, it was Frank Miller who wrote the dark knight.
Frank Miller.
Joshua, come on.
Rookie mistake, dude.
It is indisputable that heroes directly lead to the creation of villains.
Superman himself is a wonderful person.
But Mr.
mxyzptlk comes to earth just to terrorize superman.
As a result, we have to deal with inanimate objects coming to life, inverted laws of physics, and chicken feet.
It's only too bad that mortals must suffer when the gods in heaven war.
This mortal is tired of living in the aftermath.
II do think Genevieve won.
Joshua's debate was noise coming out of your mouth.
Th that is that is content-less speech.
I thought you started really strong, but I thought as the debate went on, I thought you definitely picked up a lot of momentum.
Can you say "mitz-a-pitz-a-plik" backwards? "Lika-blik-er-memlen.
" All right, stop showing off your geek.
Uh, I give you big points because any chick that can correct a man on Frank Miller vs hey, geek girls are just as good as geek guys.
- Or better because I knew it.
- I like it.
I agree, you're absolutely right.
So who won this debate? Jason? I have to go with Joshua on this one.
I thought it was really close, but I thought, Genevieve, that you won this debate.
She kind of threw the Miller at you.
That was definitely eye-catchy and something to think about But I'm gonna go with Joshua.
Here's something that's not up for debate.
Kevin Smith, you hurt my feelings.
- So servants of the forsaken orb - Have won two rounds.
If they take one more, they will win the nerd war.
The third topic is: Next up, it's Celeste versus Danielle.
Am I good to go? I was like a deer in the headlights.
Just like, "lights.
" Right, I'm in a debate.
What was the question? Genetic differences should not determine or impact our rights as citizens.
Different humans have different levels of intelligence.
No one thinks that being gifted gives you immunity from human law.
Superpowers are just another gift.
With absolute power comes absolute sorry.
With absolute power um, sorry.
I was spiraling.
Messed up on my words, didn't even know where I was in my speech.
Uh I'm just lost.
With absolute power, um Um, sorry.
As the debate progresses, the guillotine is swinging closer and closer.
With absolute power should come absolute accountability.
Honestly, I almost feel bad.
It was a cat versus a mouse.
A mean cat.
It is downright irresponsible to prevent a superhero from intervening by threatening them with prosecution when, realistically, they may be the only hope to save the world.
In the case of the military, soldiers are protected from being charged with murder.
If these superhumans are using their abilities for the good of the world, why would they not be held to abide by a different set of laws, accounting for both their abilities and their responsibilities? I got chills.
I really am genuinely proud of her, even if she despises me 100%.
So who won this debate? This one was my favorite.
I gotta say both of you guys made a really good point, but Danielle I think knocked it out of the park.
You did kind of freeze up like Cindy Brady on us for a moment there, but in a debate it's all about who has the stronger argument.
Hands down, it was Danielle.
- Thanks.
- Congratulations.
Servants of the forsaken orb! I felt bad for how well I did.
I bet I got really close to a perfect score.
Servants of the forsaken orb, you are going to find out what it is like to fly like a superhero when you go indoor skydiving.
Congratulations.
That's awesome! Team Blextrophy, two members of your team will be selected for the nerd-off.
I totally blew it.
Now we have to go to the nerd-off and send someone home.
And that sucks.
Back to Nerdvana.
Team Blextrophy, enjoy your time Debating who you have to send to the nerd-off.
Thanks so much, guys.
Big fan.
Your points were valid.
You had the best ideas.
Yeah.
But Genevieve was definitely our strongest player and if you guys don't vote for her, I'm gonna be kinda weirded out.
Whatthat was kinda weird, sorry.
I didn't expect that.
Like, huh? Sorry, I had a moment.
I had a moment where it was just you, so Uh Awkward.
No, just me.
Just me.
Genevieve doesn't listen to me when I'm trying to help out with nerd wars.
Thanks.
Maybe if she freaking listened to me then we would win.
Kevin Smith can just go home and everything's fine for him.
And I've gotta face the fact that I'm probably going home.
I feel like I let you guys down.
I'm really sorry.
You did fantastic, Genevieve.
Oh, look! I wanna do that! I just cannot wait to go indoor skydiving.
Looks like it's something from the movies and I'm just ready to get in there.
Whoo! Earlier today, I was talking about superheroes, and now, I'm flying! We're going super high and spinning around and diving down and then coming back up again.
I was obviously the best flyer.
I was flying like a pro.
That was awesome.
You looked like a feather in that thing.
I hope they're doing okay back at the house.
Is anyone leaning in a specific direction? Virgil has been surprising us in areas that he's not an expert in.
Imagine in areas that are closer to his territory.
Virgil kind of reminds me of the rain man in a way.
'Cause he's he's very bright.
You know, he collects information.
If it was up to me, I would vote Virgil into the nerd-off.
As much as we think that maybe it's Virgil's time I don't think Genevieve would be a bad choice.
I don't think she's a bad choice.
It's really about what's the best choice.
At the end of the day, whether you take Virgil or you take Genevieve, both of 'em are good people - that need to go.
- Yes.
Today wasn't really that fun.
And I hope that future days are more more fun.
It's disheartening to always have to send someone home.
But it's a no-brainer to vote alana to the nerd-off.
Me, Virgil, and Genevieve are too strong and too cohesive now.
I just feel like we'd do better without her.
Kind of wanna play Mario kart.
- I'll play with you.
- Okay.
That might be fun.
Guess whose ass is on the line again.
Ha.
I have kind of been an outcast from the very beginning.
They voted me to the nerd-off last time so there's still a little bit of tension going on there.
All righty.
All right, who's sleeping? It is way too early to be sleeping.
Where are the drinks? Where the alcohol? Alcohol is a healthy way to pass through the bad feelings.
We're becoming a team again.
We went flying.
And we're loving each other again.
And we have every right to celebrate.
You can drink a lot, but it doesn't mean you drink well.
You know, he asked me, he's like, "Danielle, what kind of drunk are you?" I think the servants of the forsaken orb have taken the opportunity to literally drink themselves into one of the darkest depths that they have attained in any night here at Nerdvana.
We're having a good time.
- I don't hate you.
- Because - I don't hate you.
I hate that you lied to me though.
I didn't lie to you.
- You very blatantly - Okay.
Let's not go into this direction right now.
Okay, okay, even if it wasn't a lie, it was definite deceit.
To even the playing field, because you feel that I have lied to you, I will let you slap me.
You need to say out loud that you consent to this.
I consent to Danielle slapping me one time.
But after this - it's over.
Like it never happened.
And we go back to being bffs? Yes.
It's this little pink ball of fury.
It's gonna hurt a little bit.
- Just do it, just do it.
- Come on.
Are you sure? Are you good? And Go for it.
Oh,.
Revenge.
- Are you good? - Yeah.
I consent to Danielle slapping me one time.
Are you sure? Are you good? - Are you good? - Yeah.
Are we good? Can we hug it out now? That was beautiful.
- Are you happy? - I am.
I'm sorry, kind of.
You rocked it.
- I had to.
- You got it out of your system.
- I feel better now.
- Are we good again? We're so good.
It's fine.
We're so good.
We're fine.
It's fine.
Are we gonna come together as a giant team and win this competition? - Pinky promise.
- Pinky promise it.
I think it's probably most likely that it's going to be alana and me at the nerd-off.
Reyou really think we're lying to you? - Really? - Yeah.
Of course they're gonna pick me.
I think they're gonna pick me and you no, of course they're gonna pick me.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna pick me.
I bet you a hundred bucks they'll pick me.
Will I be targeted to go to the nerd-off? Definitely.
And I'm ready well, I mean, I intend to be ready.
We have to see how things go tomorrow.
But I do think, like, our best shot is if we all three stay in.
- Sounds great.
- And we have to lobby hard for an ally on their side.
Okay.
It is accepted wisdom that orange will nominate me to go into the nerd-off.
And the presumption is that alana would probably beat me in superheroes.
One argument is that I should go to sfo and try and convince them to vote Genevieve instead of myself.
Okay, that's good.
Maybe it would work.
I'm kinda skeptical it would work.
But maybe it's worth a shot.
So, um, basically I'm gonna pitch myself to you now for why you should not pick me for the nerd-off.
Go for it.
I would imagine, from your position, the best people you would wanna fight would be myself and Celeste.
We have skills in a very particular area, but not so great not so great in the others.
You come to me on the day of this nerd-off and you ask from me a favor.
Particularly in the final battle, I am less of a threat to you two than someone who's more well-rounded.
That's my case.
That's and it's heard and listened in all regards.
Okay.
Celeste, because of her debate blunder, like, nobody has her in their crosshairs right now.
Like, th She's thought she's going in every week and she's never gone in.
Hey.
Hey, alana.
I really like alana a lot, but sometimes she kinda lingers.
Excuse me.
I guess I'm gonna go to my own room, but whoever you guys vote for is probably gonna go home today 'cause it's superheroes, and if they're sending me to the nerd-off, they're going home, so I love the confidence.
I continue to be the orb of this team.
'Cause I send people home magically with my powers of intellect.
I'm having a really good time being the orb of the forsaken team.
My team are squares.
Do you see this? Squares.
I am the orb of forsaken team.
Bye.
Calling all nerds! Going to the throne room ceremony is nerve-racking to say the least, unless your team is safe from banishment.
In which case, you just kinda glow.
Today, two nerds go head-to-head in our nerd-off.
The winner stays to compete for the crown, $100,000, and the right to sit atop the throne of games! The loser goes home immediately.
Team Blextrophy, we have your votes.
The first vote alana.
Second vote for alana.
Alana you will be going into the nerd-off.
Again.
This is the second time your team has sent you into the nerd-off.
Today, I'll be playing for the orbs team because whoever the orbs send in, I will be sending home.
Whoa, that's, uh those some fightin' words.
Those some fightin' words.
Servants of the forsaken orb, we have your votes.
There's a really good chance that I'm going to be the one sent to the nerd-off and I don't want that.
The first vote is Genevieve.
Second vote is for Genevieve.
That's two votes for Genevieve.
Genevieve, one more vote and you'll be going into the nerd-off.
If I face Genevieve for the nerd-off, I get my revenge and she goes home.
Genevieve, one more vote and you'll be going into the nerd-off.
The third vote Genevieve.
You will be going into the nerd-off.
Virgil, you seem a little surprised.
I mean, I went to sleep prepping to go into the nerd-off.
Ultimately, I think the lobbying worked out.
It made me feel really disgusting, but it was the right thing to do.
Alana, Genevieve, please step forward.
Bend the knee.
In today's nerd-off, you will be tested in your knowledge of superheroes.
You have two hours to prepare.
And may the best nerd win.
You are dismissed.
Alan Scott, hal Jordan Guy Gardner? Alana has a really strong advantage because this is definitely her area of expertise.
So even though I am the best likely chance to beat alana, every time we've thought somebody was guaranteed to win in the nerd-off, they've lost.
I just came to cheer you on briefly.
Genevieve is trying to just prepare herself in the radio shack room.
Thank you for cheering me on.
I really want Genevieve back so bad.
I don't remember.
Spend some time online.
Just think of the most random questions because they could pop up.
Yeah.
My husband and I have an entire storage unit filled with comic books.
So I'm not planning on researching because I already know quite a lot about superheroes.
I need alana to win because then that's just gonna cause even more chaos on team Blextrophy.
I'm rooting for ya.
Thank you.
Welcome to today's nerd-off.
Let's bring out our nerd superheroes! Pow, pow, ya! Genevieve looked crazy, badass, and hot.
I wish I could wear that myself.
I will take down the evil Genevieve.
We are going to have an epic battle of nerdy girl on nerdy girl action.
- Oh, my God, those boots.
- Oh, my.
Today, you will be tested on your knowledge of comic book superheroes.
You will be asked questions.
For every correct answer, you will break through one wall superhero-style! - Yeah! - Whoo! The first one of you to get through all four barriers will win today's nerd-off and the right to stay in Nerdvana.
Let's begin! dun-dun-dun Dun-dun-dun Ha! dun-dun-dun First question: - Are you ready? - Yes.
Reveal.
"B" is the correct answer.
Damn it.
I missed the first question on Batman because the only name I recognized in that list was Roman.
I can't believe that these questions are so hard.
- Yes.
- My hero! If I were alana, I would have studied the full two hours, but Alana's never been psychologically healthy.
So you can't expect all of her behaviors to make sense.
I mean this very respectfully.
Superhero power, ignite! This is ten kinds of awesome.
I've always wanted to do this.
Boom! Yeah! Burst through! Ooh! I got one right.
Mm-hmm.
The next question: Are you ready to answer? Yes.
Reveal! The correct answer is "d" Zatara.
Genevieve wins this round! Good job, girl! This is when my research paid off.
I just found that out today.
Kids, if you want to be a super awesome superhero, don't forget to study, and you too can knock down any barrier in your path.
Just like me.
Break that wall, gen! - Whoa! Bravo! Okay, alana, you're gonna have to turn it on here! Next question: Reveal! Check it, my name starts with "a" and I'm wrong.
The correct answer is The correct answer is "a" Dr.
midnight.
Alana is correct.
I have no idea who any of those people are.
I got the doctors right because I guessed.
Alana, activate your superpowers! This is Nerdvana! Alana's definitely more of a horror movie monster moment where she's just going after the victim, you know? The next question: You may reveal your answers! The correct answer is "b" 1938! Damn it.
Genevieve, you have won this round.
I told her, I told her to look when these characters were first coming out.
Alana, when there's $100,000 on the line, you find some time to study.
- Yeah! - Yes! Now pick it up and throw it! Genevieve has gone through three walls.
Alana has gone through one wall.
That means if Genevieve gets this question correctly, this challenge is over.
I am rooting for Genevieve, like, more than I've ever rooted for anyone.
If Genevieve loses, it will be me and Celeste that have lost more.
Are you ready to reveal your answers? Reveal! The correct answer Is "a" Trickshot.
Oh, my God! Genevieve has won this nerd-off.
Yes! Yes! Whoo! Genevieve.
This final wall will require all of your superpowers to be destroyed.
- Oh! - Oh, wow! - Oh! - Wow! Team servants of the forsaken orb should watch out because now I'm gunning for them.
First wall, Danielle Second wall, Joshua Third wall, moo Fourth wall, Ivan.
Ooh, that was awesome.
I will never piss off Genevieve again.
I'm really, really, really, really happy that I did not go home on a comic book challenge because that would have been awful.
Alana, please join us.
I knew nothing.
Maybe if they had been silver age or bronze age or modern age questions about comic books.
I didn't start reading comic books until the '90s.
- Whoo! - Good job, alana.
Really? - Yes, yes, good job.
- Yeah.
This was literally frustrating to watch.
"You're killing me, smalls!" I needed you to win this.
Alana, this is truly a dark night.
Just as Batman rose from tragedy, you will also rise to soar to nerd-like heights for the rest of your days! Right now, I couldn't give any amount of for my team.
- See ya.
- Good job.
- Take care of yourself, okay? - It was a great try.
Don't worry about it.
The biggest victory for Blextrophy is getting rid of alana.
Biggest victory so far.
Good night, nerds.
Good night.
My motto in life is that it's fine to be the superhero that you are.
It's okay to wear your nerd or geekness on your sleeve, and I'm gonna keep going because that's how I roll.
Natural 20 every time.
I'm going to quote a parody movie of a nerdy movie.
"Never give up and never surrender and part of that" Got her.
Joshua convinced Danielle he was going to vote for himself.
I'm just gonna vote for me.
But when he voted for Danielle instead Danielle, you will be going into the nerd-off.
A civil war began.
You wouldn't lie to someone if they were your friend.
With her teammates rooting against her, Danielle battled Brandon in the nerd-off goal! Whoo! And won easily.
I pretty much just got slaughtered.
With team servants of the forsaken orb worried about future conflict That's gonna be your mess to clean up.
Everybody's favorite nerd said good-bye I'm gonna miss you guys.
And Brandon's hopes of sitting atop the throne of games and being crowned king of the nerds were dashed.
You did a really awesome job, Danielle.
Thanks.
I'm feeling kinda like a badass because I don't think anybody expected me to win.
That really happened? My team almost seemed disappointed.
Screw you guys.
Brandon.
We definitely knocked out the soul of the other team.
I'm that much closer to getting my crown.
How was the transition from working the controls on the r.
C.
Car to the bigger ones? It's irrelevant.
Yep.
I would like to think that me and Danielle can move forward.
I know that it's still in the back of her head.
She's kind of a ticking time bomb.
Nice chatting with you guys.
Joshua has hurt the morale on orange team.
Hope the drama isn't too bad on orange team.
It's there's no drama.
We all love each other.
There's a social wound there, and it's going to get infected.
Who didn't go through an Indiana Jones phase where everyone wanted a bullwhip? I used to have a crappy one.
I know she sounds okay.
At some point if it's organic and she wants to talk about it, then that's her choice, but at this point we have to rally around the competition to be a team together.
Danielle has every right to be mad.
I just don't want it sitting in the back of her head, like, unresolved.
I know, but when the wounds are less fresh, my friend.
Whatever she might feel, whether it's "oh, my God, it's three against one", so I need to play nice," or "oh, my God, I'm gonna see these burn," I don't know, but tonight's not the night to dig that out.
I think we'll be fine from here on out.
I believe you.
And tomorrow's the new day.
I wish I'd done the fire bullwhip.
- Good morning, Celeste.
- Morning.
- We got French toast, pancakes.
- Pancakes.
Nice.
It's a new day and let's get ready to win a nerd war.
We don't like what losing tastes like.
We haven't done a swimming challenge yet.
If there's a swimming thing, I recommend me.
What the heck? Awkward.
I'm really good at swimming.
Calling all super nerds! Calling all super nerds! Come on, they're dressed up in superhero outfits.
That's so cool.
Rockin' those abs.
But it's so nerdy.
We're all nerds.
Did you know that? This week's nerd war is A live debate on the topic of superheroes! This was the thing I did not wanna do.
And now I'm totally out of my comfort zone.
You will find your debate topics in your war rooms.
It is up to you to choose which member of your team debates which topic.
You'll be judged by three experts in the field.
I'm really excited because maybe they got Joss Whedon or Paul Dini or grant morrison or Um, any of the other guys that do stuff.
You have two hours to prepare for the debate.
Good luck, nerds.
And back to Nerdvana.
What's that? You want us to debate? Oh, oh, hey, let me go and look at my resume real fast.
Uh, oh, yeah, "hosted a live geek debate show.
" Bring it.
Come on, nerdman.
Let's hit it.
- To the lair! - To the lair! Well, well, well.
Okay, get on in here.
So we're starting to figure out who gets what topic.
I have zero experience with debates.
I'm.
If you could just give me the easiest topic to debate.
Yeah, okay, so we're gonna give you And you'll be debating against that one.
Celeste knows nothing about comics.
And she gets stage fright.
Stage fright plus not a lot of knowledge disaster? I'll take one.
I like one better.
I'm arguing that mutants should be serum-ed to take away their powers.
That's actually the topic of the current Joss Whedon amazing X-Men series astonishing X-Men Joss Whedon might be one of the people! Going into debates like this, it's very important to think of the opposite side of it so you have your rebuttal ready.
Yeah.
I'm in my element.
These topics are like nothing for me.
I would like to do the "superheroes attract supervillains.
" "Superheroes attract supervillains.
" I'd really like that one.
I immediately attached to the presence of good guys attracting bad guys and causing more problems in society versus benefits.
Because I've actually done an argument - like this before.
- Okay.
Joshua is bragging about how he's this great debater.
If you have all of this experience, like, why do you get to take the clear easiest topic? I don't wanna do the preferable one.
Comic books are not my forte.
- Are you more comfortable with this one? - Yeah.
If you feel like that one's easier for you, then I'm happy to take this one.
I have to debate on why it's better to be born into superpowers than it is to be genetically altered.
So go ahead, please take this one.
- Okay.
- We need to win this nerd war.
I'm tired of having to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
So do you wanna read your for us and we can offer suggestions? Yeah, yeah.
Yay for being Superpower comic reading.
Superpowers that come to people later on in life is much better because they have passed their awkward stages of puberty.
Whereas children with powers don't know their own strength and have the possibility of hurting their siblings or parents.
You have a furrow in your brow.
You have to tie into the question better.
It's a rough draft.
One thing I think is you need more specific examples.
And that's why I was going to be pulling from nyx, 'cause in nyx, the girl has the power to stop time and when she stops time to move, she moves out of the way of a bullet that's coming at her and then it shoots a teacher.
I don't think that's addressing the question enough.
In the beginning, Genevieve and I did connect over Batman.
But now there's definitely an underlying resentment on both of our sides.
Hey, Celeste.
I have some tips for yours, Celeste, whenever you feel up to it.
I'm a little worried about Celeste.
Celeste is a little stressed out.
I mean, I've helped Celeste a little.
Alana's been helping Celeste a little.
It's currently unclear how beneficial it's all gonna be, but we're trying.
Okay, so immunity to prosecution is totally ridiculous.
So here's the reason why.
Just as a society we're already used to the idea of human being with different levels of abilities being governed under the same law, mutants are just a natural extension of this.
You just draw out the line a little bit more.
Maybe even do, like, a little motion.
There's just so many things going through my head right now that I can't even think straight.
It's, like, it's just preposterous.
It's just completely absurd.
I don't like looking dumb in front of people.
I pres okay.
Okay.
I presume there should be som okay.
There should clear okay.
Okay.
All right.
Number one.
How are you feeling about yours right now, Danielle? I wanted the one Joshua had.
I'm arguing a superhero should be able to act without fear of prosecution.
I can help you with yours.
I don't want Joshua's help because he's a liar that cannot be trusted, so You are in the stance where a theoretical argu listen, you're the expert at debating! Why do I have to take the hardest topic? I'm not a - honestly, you're stressing me right out! - What was that? - I don't know.
Hark, is that drama I hear? You did this, fyi.
You're a lying piece of.
You want me to trust you and you're a lying piece of.
The only person that Joshua cares about is Joshua.
If we lose today's nerd war, I would wanna blame Joshua completely.
He's the master on all this.
He's so great at debating.
This is what he does for a living.
He knows everything about comics, but he's gonna take the clear easiest topic.
And when I said that's the one I want, he said "no, no, no, I'm doing that one.
" I'm doing that one.
" Okay, well, I wish- - because you know, he's an asset to the team and I'm not.
It didn't h I don't understand why I got voted for when I've done nothing but put the team first and he's copped out on everything.
If we can get through this, there isn't gonna be any elimination on our side.
And if we come to a place where we need to take somebody off, then we've all seen what he's put you through.
You have no idea! He is a terrible person.
Life! Why is life so hard? This isn't Nerdvana right now.
It's nerd hell 'cause we have to keep Danielle happy.
I hate my team.
- Breathe, my friend.
- Oh, yeah.
Danielle might be shooting a lot of negative energy towards me, but I'm not gonna let that ruin the nerd war.
Wow, we look like nerdy geeks.
I can't believe I thought that nothing bad would come from the last endeavor between me and Danielle.
Shoulda saw this one coming.
Feel powerful, feel triumphant.
Shout your truth! I love superheroes and I'm so excited to get to debate about them.
I'm ready to rock 'n roll.
The audience was about 30 times bigger than I expected.
I was putting the audience at maybe, like, seven.
Let's introduce our three expert judges.
Please welcome the director of debate and forensics at usc, Gordon stables.
Please also welcome two world-renowned experts in the field of comic book superheroes, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, also known as Jay and silent Bob! We are not worthy.
Oh, my God, it's Jay and silent Bob! We are not worthy.
Jay and silent Bob.
What the are they doing here? Oh, my gosh, I have to do public speaking in front of these guys? Oh, no.
Welcome to the first Nerdvana superheroes debate! The first topic is: First up, it's alana versus Ivan.
Going up against Ivan, I need some sort of oomph, and I can oomph when I have my boobs out.
I really wish I had a lower cut shirt.
Let the debate Begin-begin-begin.
It is not preferable to be born with superpowers.
Superheroes like spider-man learn early on about their responsibilities of their powers because they've never had them before.
Captain America will throw himself in front of a bullet to save his fellow man, uh, because he once was the weaker and knows anyone can become great.
We need people who know what it feels like to be weak or people who who knows who know what it feels like to lose everything.
We need our heroes to come from us.
Alana actually does have a lot of good points.
But if she's gonna wanna win with those points, she's really gotta back it up with some confidence.
Heroes who are born into their powers inherently have a chance to have their skills honed much more than if they were genetically enhanced.
Superman is moral because of his upbringing.
Thor, aquaman, and wonder woman, they are all born into this world, and as a result, they stay true to their colors.
Ivan's argument is weak.
He's completely ignoring that all these superheroes, they've all gone crazy at some point or another.
Genetic powers are erratic.
Spider-man can lose his powers purely because of his own mental state ala the spider-man 2 film.
Also, the amount of villains that are created genetically are staggering.
Life lessons create stable heroes.
Genetically created heroes are playing God.
What are you thoughts about this round of the debate? You know, alana, I thought you had maybe one of the best single arguments about the importance of superheroes that know what it means to be weak.
But I didn't hear much about any villains.
You know, you only talked about the superheroes.
In either argument, I'm looking for nature versus nurture.
Aren't you both discounting what kind of values are shoved into you or up you? - Well said.
So, who won this debate? Uh, overall I thought this one was pretty close, but I'm gonna have to give it to Ivan.
Alana, I thought you were very honest and very true to us.
So I give it to her.
Uh, presentation-wise, uh, Ivan was definitely stronger, but that shouldn't matter if the content is strong.
Still, I think he edged you out a little bit, just a just this much.
So I'm gonna go Ivan.
If this was just a paper and if she just had to write it down, alana would have won.
But the fact that she had to present it is what led to her folly.
The second topic is: Next up, it's Genevieve versus Joshua.
Good luck.
Genevieve does know a lot about comic books.
But come on, you're going up against me.
Joshua, if you wanna get into details with me, bring it.
To say that superheroes attract supervillains is ignorant.
Evil will exist whether good is there or not.
For example, you try to take all the superheroes out of a city, crime will skyrocket exponentially.
For example, in mark Millar's the dark knight returns, Batman goes into retirement and what happens while he's gone? Gotham city become a gangland.
Evil prevails when superheroes aren't there to kick some ass.
Whoo! Yeah! Genevieve, your rebuttal? First of all, I'd like to point out that it wasn't mark Millar, it was Frank Miller who wrote the dark knight.
Frank Miller.
Joshua, come on.
Rookie mistake, dude.
It is indisputable that heroes directly lead to the creation of villains.
Superman himself is a wonderful person.
But Mr.
mxyzptlk comes to earth just to terrorize superman.
As a result, we have to deal with inanimate objects coming to life, inverted laws of physics, and chicken feet.
It's only too bad that mortals must suffer when the gods in heaven war.
This mortal is tired of living in the aftermath.
II do think Genevieve won.
Joshua's debate was noise coming out of your mouth.
Th that is that is content-less speech.
I thought you started really strong, but I thought as the debate went on, I thought you definitely picked up a lot of momentum.
Can you say "mitz-a-pitz-a-plik" backwards? "Lika-blik-er-memlen.
" All right, stop showing off your geek.
Uh, I give you big points because any chick that can correct a man on Frank Miller vs hey, geek girls are just as good as geek guys.
- Or better because I knew it.
- I like it.
I agree, you're absolutely right.
So who won this debate? Jason? I have to go with Joshua on this one.
I thought it was really close, but I thought, Genevieve, that you won this debate.
She kind of threw the Miller at you.
That was definitely eye-catchy and something to think about But I'm gonna go with Joshua.
Here's something that's not up for debate.
Kevin Smith, you hurt my feelings.
- So servants of the forsaken orb - Have won two rounds.
If they take one more, they will win the nerd war.
The third topic is: Next up, it's Celeste versus Danielle.
Am I good to go? I was like a deer in the headlights.
Just like, "lights.
" Right, I'm in a debate.
What was the question? Genetic differences should not determine or impact our rights as citizens.
Different humans have different levels of intelligence.
No one thinks that being gifted gives you immunity from human law.
Superpowers are just another gift.
With absolute power comes absolute sorry.
With absolute power um, sorry.
I was spiraling.
Messed up on my words, didn't even know where I was in my speech.
Uh I'm just lost.
With absolute power, um Um, sorry.
As the debate progresses, the guillotine is swinging closer and closer.
With absolute power should come absolute accountability.
Honestly, I almost feel bad.
It was a cat versus a mouse.
A mean cat.
It is downright irresponsible to prevent a superhero from intervening by threatening them with prosecution when, realistically, they may be the only hope to save the world.
In the case of the military, soldiers are protected from being charged with murder.
If these superhumans are using their abilities for the good of the world, why would they not be held to abide by a different set of laws, accounting for both their abilities and their responsibilities? I got chills.
I really am genuinely proud of her, even if she despises me 100%.
So who won this debate? This one was my favorite.
I gotta say both of you guys made a really good point, but Danielle I think knocked it out of the park.
You did kind of freeze up like Cindy Brady on us for a moment there, but in a debate it's all about who has the stronger argument.
Hands down, it was Danielle.
- Thanks.
- Congratulations.
Servants of the forsaken orb! I felt bad for how well I did.
I bet I got really close to a perfect score.
Servants of the forsaken orb, you are going to find out what it is like to fly like a superhero when you go indoor skydiving.
Congratulations.
That's awesome! Team Blextrophy, two members of your team will be selected for the nerd-off.
I totally blew it.
Now we have to go to the nerd-off and send someone home.
And that sucks.
Back to Nerdvana.
Team Blextrophy, enjoy your time Debating who you have to send to the nerd-off.
Thanks so much, guys.
Big fan.
Your points were valid.
You had the best ideas.
Yeah.
But Genevieve was definitely our strongest player and if you guys don't vote for her, I'm gonna be kinda weirded out.
Whatthat was kinda weird, sorry.
I didn't expect that.
Like, huh? Sorry, I had a moment.
I had a moment where it was just you, so Uh Awkward.
No, just me.
Just me.
Genevieve doesn't listen to me when I'm trying to help out with nerd wars.
Thanks.
Maybe if she freaking listened to me then we would win.
Kevin Smith can just go home and everything's fine for him.
And I've gotta face the fact that I'm probably going home.
I feel like I let you guys down.
I'm really sorry.
You did fantastic, Genevieve.
Oh, look! I wanna do that! I just cannot wait to go indoor skydiving.
Looks like it's something from the movies and I'm just ready to get in there.
Whoo! Earlier today, I was talking about superheroes, and now, I'm flying! We're going super high and spinning around and diving down and then coming back up again.
I was obviously the best flyer.
I was flying like a pro.
That was awesome.
You looked like a feather in that thing.
I hope they're doing okay back at the house.
Is anyone leaning in a specific direction? Virgil has been surprising us in areas that he's not an expert in.
Imagine in areas that are closer to his territory.
Virgil kind of reminds me of the rain man in a way.
'Cause he's he's very bright.
You know, he collects information.
If it was up to me, I would vote Virgil into the nerd-off.
As much as we think that maybe it's Virgil's time I don't think Genevieve would be a bad choice.
I don't think she's a bad choice.
It's really about what's the best choice.
At the end of the day, whether you take Virgil or you take Genevieve, both of 'em are good people - that need to go.
- Yes.
Today wasn't really that fun.
And I hope that future days are more more fun.
It's disheartening to always have to send someone home.
But it's a no-brainer to vote alana to the nerd-off.
Me, Virgil, and Genevieve are too strong and too cohesive now.
I just feel like we'd do better without her.
Kind of wanna play Mario kart.
- I'll play with you.
- Okay.
That might be fun.
Guess whose ass is on the line again.
Ha.
I have kind of been an outcast from the very beginning.
They voted me to the nerd-off last time so there's still a little bit of tension going on there.
All righty.
All right, who's sleeping? It is way too early to be sleeping.
Where are the drinks? Where the alcohol? Alcohol is a healthy way to pass through the bad feelings.
We're becoming a team again.
We went flying.
And we're loving each other again.
And we have every right to celebrate.
You can drink a lot, but it doesn't mean you drink well.
You know, he asked me, he's like, "Danielle, what kind of drunk are you?" I think the servants of the forsaken orb have taken the opportunity to literally drink themselves into one of the darkest depths that they have attained in any night here at Nerdvana.
We're having a good time.
- I don't hate you.
- Because - I don't hate you.
I hate that you lied to me though.
I didn't lie to you.
- You very blatantly - Okay.
Let's not go into this direction right now.
Okay, okay, even if it wasn't a lie, it was definite deceit.
To even the playing field, because you feel that I have lied to you, I will let you slap me.
You need to say out loud that you consent to this.
I consent to Danielle slapping me one time.
But after this - it's over.
Like it never happened.
And we go back to being bffs? Yes.
It's this little pink ball of fury.
It's gonna hurt a little bit.
- Just do it, just do it.
- Come on.
Are you sure? Are you good? And Go for it.
Oh,.
Revenge.
- Are you good? - Yeah.
I consent to Danielle slapping me one time.
Are you sure? Are you good? - Are you good? - Yeah.
Are we good? Can we hug it out now? That was beautiful.
- Are you happy? - I am.
I'm sorry, kind of.
You rocked it.
- I had to.
- You got it out of your system.
- I feel better now.
- Are we good again? We're so good.
It's fine.
We're so good.
We're fine.
It's fine.
Are we gonna come together as a giant team and win this competition? - Pinky promise.
- Pinky promise it.
I think it's probably most likely that it's going to be alana and me at the nerd-off.
Reyou really think we're lying to you? - Really? - Yeah.
Of course they're gonna pick me.
I think they're gonna pick me and you no, of course they're gonna pick me.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna pick me.
I bet you a hundred bucks they'll pick me.
Will I be targeted to go to the nerd-off? Definitely.
And I'm ready well, I mean, I intend to be ready.
We have to see how things go tomorrow.
But I do think, like, our best shot is if we all three stay in.
- Sounds great.
- And we have to lobby hard for an ally on their side.
Okay.
It is accepted wisdom that orange will nominate me to go into the nerd-off.
And the presumption is that alana would probably beat me in superheroes.
One argument is that I should go to sfo and try and convince them to vote Genevieve instead of myself.
Okay, that's good.
Maybe it would work.
I'm kinda skeptical it would work.
But maybe it's worth a shot.
So, um, basically I'm gonna pitch myself to you now for why you should not pick me for the nerd-off.
Go for it.
I would imagine, from your position, the best people you would wanna fight would be myself and Celeste.
We have skills in a very particular area, but not so great not so great in the others.
You come to me on the day of this nerd-off and you ask from me a favor.
Particularly in the final battle, I am less of a threat to you two than someone who's more well-rounded.
That's my case.
That's and it's heard and listened in all regards.
Okay.
Celeste, because of her debate blunder, like, nobody has her in their crosshairs right now.
Like, th She's thought she's going in every week and she's never gone in.
Hey.
Hey, alana.
I really like alana a lot, but sometimes she kinda lingers.
Excuse me.
I guess I'm gonna go to my own room, but whoever you guys vote for is probably gonna go home today 'cause it's superheroes, and if they're sending me to the nerd-off, they're going home, so I love the confidence.
I continue to be the orb of this team.
'Cause I send people home magically with my powers of intellect.
I'm having a really good time being the orb of the forsaken team.
My team are squares.
Do you see this? Squares.
I am the orb of forsaken team.
Bye.
Calling all nerds! Going to the throne room ceremony is nerve-racking to say the least, unless your team is safe from banishment.
In which case, you just kinda glow.
Today, two nerds go head-to-head in our nerd-off.
The winner stays to compete for the crown, $100,000, and the right to sit atop the throne of games! The loser goes home immediately.
Team Blextrophy, we have your votes.
The first vote alana.
Second vote for alana.
Alana you will be going into the nerd-off.
Again.
This is the second time your team has sent you into the nerd-off.
Today, I'll be playing for the orbs team because whoever the orbs send in, I will be sending home.
Whoa, that's, uh those some fightin' words.
Those some fightin' words.
Servants of the forsaken orb, we have your votes.
There's a really good chance that I'm going to be the one sent to the nerd-off and I don't want that.
The first vote is Genevieve.
Second vote is for Genevieve.
That's two votes for Genevieve.
Genevieve, one more vote and you'll be going into the nerd-off.
If I face Genevieve for the nerd-off, I get my revenge and she goes home.
Genevieve, one more vote and you'll be going into the nerd-off.
The third vote Genevieve.
You will be going into the nerd-off.
Virgil, you seem a little surprised.
I mean, I went to sleep prepping to go into the nerd-off.
Ultimately, I think the lobbying worked out.
It made me feel really disgusting, but it was the right thing to do.
Alana, Genevieve, please step forward.
Bend the knee.
In today's nerd-off, you will be tested in your knowledge of superheroes.
You have two hours to prepare.
And may the best nerd win.
You are dismissed.
Alan Scott, hal Jordan Guy Gardner? Alana has a really strong advantage because this is definitely her area of expertise.
So even though I am the best likely chance to beat alana, every time we've thought somebody was guaranteed to win in the nerd-off, they've lost.
I just came to cheer you on briefly.
Genevieve is trying to just prepare herself in the radio shack room.
Thank you for cheering me on.
I really want Genevieve back so bad.
I don't remember.
Spend some time online.
Just think of the most random questions because they could pop up.
Yeah.
My husband and I have an entire storage unit filled with comic books.
So I'm not planning on researching because I already know quite a lot about superheroes.
I need alana to win because then that's just gonna cause even more chaos on team Blextrophy.
I'm rooting for ya.
Thank you.
Welcome to today's nerd-off.
Let's bring out our nerd superheroes! Pow, pow, ya! Genevieve looked crazy, badass, and hot.
I wish I could wear that myself.
I will take down the evil Genevieve.
We are going to have an epic battle of nerdy girl on nerdy girl action.
- Oh, my God, those boots.
- Oh, my.
Today, you will be tested on your knowledge of comic book superheroes.
You will be asked questions.
For every correct answer, you will break through one wall superhero-style! - Yeah! - Whoo! The first one of you to get through all four barriers will win today's nerd-off and the right to stay in Nerdvana.
Let's begin! dun-dun-dun Dun-dun-dun Ha! dun-dun-dun First question: - Are you ready? - Yes.
Reveal.
"B" is the correct answer.
Damn it.
I missed the first question on Batman because the only name I recognized in that list was Roman.
I can't believe that these questions are so hard.
- Yes.
- My hero! If I were alana, I would have studied the full two hours, but Alana's never been psychologically healthy.
So you can't expect all of her behaviors to make sense.
I mean this very respectfully.
Superhero power, ignite! This is ten kinds of awesome.
I've always wanted to do this.
Boom! Yeah! Burst through! Ooh! I got one right.
Mm-hmm.
The next question: Are you ready to answer? Yes.
Reveal! The correct answer is "d" Zatara.
Genevieve wins this round! Good job, girl! This is when my research paid off.
I just found that out today.
Kids, if you want to be a super awesome superhero, don't forget to study, and you too can knock down any barrier in your path.
Just like me.
Break that wall, gen! - Whoa! Bravo! Okay, alana, you're gonna have to turn it on here! Next question: Reveal! Check it, my name starts with "a" and I'm wrong.
The correct answer is The correct answer is "a" Dr.
midnight.
Alana is correct.
I have no idea who any of those people are.
I got the doctors right because I guessed.
Alana, activate your superpowers! This is Nerdvana! Alana's definitely more of a horror movie monster moment where she's just going after the victim, you know? The next question: You may reveal your answers! The correct answer is "b" 1938! Damn it.
Genevieve, you have won this round.
I told her, I told her to look when these characters were first coming out.
Alana, when there's $100,000 on the line, you find some time to study.
- Yeah! - Yes! Now pick it up and throw it! Genevieve has gone through three walls.
Alana has gone through one wall.
That means if Genevieve gets this question correctly, this challenge is over.
I am rooting for Genevieve, like, more than I've ever rooted for anyone.
If Genevieve loses, it will be me and Celeste that have lost more.
Are you ready to reveal your answers? Reveal! The correct answer Is "a" Trickshot.
Oh, my God! Genevieve has won this nerd-off.
Yes! Yes! Whoo! Genevieve.
This final wall will require all of your superpowers to be destroyed.
- Oh! - Oh, wow! - Oh! - Wow! Team servants of the forsaken orb should watch out because now I'm gunning for them.
First wall, Danielle Second wall, Joshua Third wall, moo Fourth wall, Ivan.
Ooh, that was awesome.
I will never piss off Genevieve again.
I'm really, really, really, really happy that I did not go home on a comic book challenge because that would have been awful.
Alana, please join us.
I knew nothing.
Maybe if they had been silver age or bronze age or modern age questions about comic books.
I didn't start reading comic books until the '90s.
- Whoo! - Good job, alana.
Really? - Yes, yes, good job.
- Yeah.
This was literally frustrating to watch.
"You're killing me, smalls!" I needed you to win this.
Alana, this is truly a dark night.
Just as Batman rose from tragedy, you will also rise to soar to nerd-like heights for the rest of your days! Right now, I couldn't give any amount of for my team.
- See ya.
- Good job.
- Take care of yourself, okay? - It was a great try.
Don't worry about it.
The biggest victory for Blextrophy is getting rid of alana.
Biggest victory so far.
Good night, nerds.
Good night.
My motto in life is that it's fine to be the superhero that you are.
It's okay to wear your nerd or geekness on your sleeve, and I'm gonna keep going because that's how I roll.
Natural 20 every time.
I'm going to quote a parody movie of a nerdy movie.
"Never give up and never surrender and part of that" Got her.
