In the season three premiere, 12 new nerds arrive at Nerdvana to compete for $100,000. The Nerds must create Rube Goldberg-type devices and go deep into the worlds of steampunk and anime.

2 And Now for Something Different

With $100,000 on the line and the right to be called King (or Queen), the Nerds let loose. Cosplay is back and even Nerdier (if that's possible). Cosplay-trix extraordinaire Yaya Han returns to judge with My Little Pony star Tara Strong. And Billy Boyd from The Lord of the Rings tosses one team into Mount Doom. Tears, jeers and too many beers in Nerdvana lead to alliances, talk about sex and a devilish Nerd Off with some Knights who say Ni! Hosted by Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradine.

3 The Gods are Angry

2/6/15

The Nerds travel back in time in this destined-to-be-classic episode in order to raise great triremes and cross the "Adriatic Sea." (It's really a pool.)

Hosted by Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradine.

4 Did They Choose Wisely...or Poorly?

2/13/15

Nerd Anthem is back. And with the nerds being picked off one by one, the secret alliance has to think about the future. Will they hit the right note & survive another week? One of the Nerds decides it's a good idea to get in a fight with guest judge Moby. When fellow guests Lisa Loeb and Travie McCoy back him up, it gets awwwkward. Hosted by Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradine.

5 Nuclear Nerd Games

Penn Jillette and Rachelle Lefevre star in the ultimate Nerdy Game night. But when the Nerds go off the rails and Rachelle offers herself as tribute, the Secret Six alliance implodes.

6 Murder at Nerdvana?!

2/27/15

In the darkest episode yet in the storied history of Nerdvana, Pom Pom Kitty is Scooby Doo-ed, and it is up to the intrepid Nerds to determine what monster is behind her disappearance. A master strategist struggles with loyalty, and two of the brainiest bash zombie brains to survive another night. When the teams are disbanded, they must sally forth into the darkness ahead alone. Hosted by Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradine.

7 Invasion of the Nerd Snatchers

8 The Nerdtastic Finale

There can only be one. The King or Queen is crowned after surviving a gauntlet of impossibly Nerdy challenges and stratagems. A wise-cracking Monster visits our planet with the help of Stan Winston Studios and Legacy Effects. Season three culminates in one of the most shocking endings yet. Awesome sauce anyone?

The last 2 seasons ticked me off because the two 'queens' just slid their way through & the nerdiest ones were out quick. I love the show, love the concept but I don't like how the previous winners were in no way the master nerd of the competition.

This show shows nerds competing in a quest daily, I mean it does have the jovenshire from smosh games but the show is so awesome that you sometimes forget he's there. They compete in not just challenges but challenges that towards geek and nerds audiences. I would love to be on that show and never leave but not just for the money and crown, but to be there.

I like the show, but I'm missing out on some of the fun. Part of the fun in reality shows is discussing it with other viewers. It's a social experience that is pretty unique to these types of shows. I find myself left out of a lot of the conversation when the episodes aren't made available. Episode six aired already, but neither it nor episode five is available, so I'm two weeks behind. I don't know any other show on Google Play that has issues like this. If I had known this when I purchased the season, I would have not done so. In short, I would not recommend anyone who enjoys discussing this show with others outside of a tight nit group to buy the season with plans to watch while the show airs.
