KIAs? Surely, you're not using the military abbreviation here?
I don't know, is KIA the military abbreviatioin for Know It All?

And why surely not? I have been known to use the terms snafu and Tango Uniform on occasion.
Ohhhhh, you mean Know It All! :)

We've discussed this show a lot, starting last year when PSM's daughter auditioned to be one of the kids. She was rejected, possibly because her brand of sarcasm might have stolen the spotlight from Jeff Foxworthy, but also because she didn't already have her AFTRA card. And, in the first season, all the kids were professional actors (some with more experience than others).

This season, they held some auditions at different cities, so at least some of the new class are not actors. And they do seem to enjoy the game and their role as professional lifelines on it; particularly Nathan, who has the spirit of a Bored Buddy.

And, yeah, that includes being something of a Know It All. 8)
