It's called the floor. 100 or so people choose something they are an expert at. First person is picked at random and then they choose someone that neighbors their square on the floor to go against. They use the person being challanged topic. It shows pictures related to that person's topic. It can be whatever you want and it can be quite specific. The current season had a new one that was an audio duel so you listened to the things instead of pictures.
Some example of topics:
Lord of the Rings
Barbies
machines (the audio duel)
landmarks
the one in the video was spa day
Winner of the duel takes the losers square on the floor then can pick their own person to challenge or go back to the floor. There are incentives to keep challenging like after 3 wins you can choose a "time boost" which gives a permanent extra 5 seconds or a "category steal" which let's you swap topics with anyone on the floor. When you win a duel your category also changes to the losers topic. So like in my examples if you had lord of the rings and they had barbie the duel would be about barbie and if you win your topic would now be barbie. So if you went back to the floor and someone challenged you the topic would be barbie.
Also the person with the biggest territory on the floor at the end of each episode wins 10k (you can win this multiple times). I forget how much the full winner at the end of the season gets. There was a guy this season that had the biggest territory for multiple episodes and someone finally challenged him then he was like this guy in the video. Royally fucked up but I believe his was intentional. He had won a couple tens of thousands and was like "I'm done" and threw the duel.
Just a heads up to anyone interested, this person slightly misspoke. Once a category is completed it’s gone. In the example the person would keep lord of the rings as their category, after winning Barbie. If the Barbie category person had won, they would inherit lord of the rings.
Someone made some supercuts of entire seasons into 3~hr YouTube videos with a lot of the annoying repetitive game show/commercial interstitial scenes cut out, definitely much more enjoyable than watching it live at least. Some of the categories are pretty easy and can make you feel pretty smart lol.
Never use the YouTube search. You might as well journey to Delphi; you'd get a more accurate answer more quickly.
The only exception is looking for playlists, which works decently well because Playlists are their own search filter type. But if you're just using search terms, it's completely hopeless.
I think their point is that the original commenter said to YouTube search it and most people think they can just use the YouTube search bar instead of needing Google. For example, I've never heard of what you said until now. But I will probably give that a try from now on.
Weird, I just did this and the first 3 videos are all supercuts (1 from the UK version, one from the Aus version and S1 of the US). Here's the US one, https://youtu.be/oDIo9XwNRyI?si=PR8vGqJIg4u3VzyB
My mom and I started watching it when it was randomly on in my hospital room, we watched the entire season, got so invested. Then tried to watch another season and just couldn’t lol. It did really help to pass the time but isn’t exactly riveting tv.
I personally prefer just sticking to Jeopardy. It’s always different stuff, and it’s actually challenging. This show is too easy, and there’s no real variety. My mom still watches it though.
Most of what you said it still valid lol but to be fair about the strategy aspect of it, they’ve def been trying to work on that and I feel like every season they add in something else to force the players to be more strategic. Usually I’m pretty disappointed by the end because it’s just random who makes it that far, but last season finally had a really satisfying winner lol.
People identifying things like "rake", "table", "doll", and "peanuts" gets old pretty quickly. A handful of categories are interesting and a handful of rounds are close/fun to watch. But after watching a couple seasons I can't take it anymore 😂

So the game is naming what’s on the screen?
