What bothers me is that we see young people like you and Jacqui claim the "nerd" label on SyndieBAM, while those of us who are the real nerds, who don't have the charming personalities and whirlwind social lives, never have a chance of getting past the APs to sit in the Hot Seat.

They can't deal with a real nerd!

I didn't claim the nerd label did I?
No, you took offense at the label. But Jacqui did claim it in the article I linked to. And we've seen other contestants claim it on the show. Without fail, such contestants do not fit the nerd stereotype. That's because we true nerds make the APs cringe with revulsion. :evil:
I've got news for you, it's not just the APs. :wink:
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I'd be willing to accept a slot for "a contestant the audience despises". SyndieBAM doesn't have to give them all the the adorable types, do they?

Now we're talkin'. Combining a game show with a reality show.

Yeah! I say they ditch the clock and put an alligator pit under the contestant's feet! Or snakes! Or they can skip the question but get the money if they eat rancid innards that have been out in the sun for three days! Or...
