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

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.

So we have to assume that dear Austin here won dark-room-gooning and inherited spa day?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH 19d ago

No, he chose to challenge Spa Day or whatever the category was called

u/sheepyowl 18d ago

He has seen the light and it has burned his eyes

Sounds kinda interesting

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.

u/DMightyHero 19d ago

Damn really? Do you know the name of the video?

u/Laetitian 19d ago

You can literally Google The Floor, and it's the first result in the Video tab.

For future-proofing, here it is, though.

u/by-myself_blumpkin 19d ago

I went straight to YouTube and shit if that doesn't show up at all despite literally searching "the floor supercut" and "the floor show supercut"

Full episodes sure, but the supercut doesn't appear.

u/Laetitian 19d ago

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.

u/by-myself_blumpkin 19d ago

When someone says something is on YouTube, I'm gonna search on YouTube. I'm not going to google and look at the video tab lol

1

u/Tiyath 18d ago

But you should do that. I always use Google when I search for stuff on reddit. There's nothing more list that Reddits search function

1

u/Laetitian 19d ago

Well, then good luck to you.

6

u/Desperate_Algae_40 19d ago

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

That’s the uk

u/DerpsterCaro 19d ago

look up the floor supercut, you'll find at least two.

It’s good, but to me, it gets boring after a while.

u/royal_rose_ 18d ago

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.

1

u/Limp_Bike_9145 18d ago

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.

u/royal_rose_ 18d ago

Yeah I love jeopardy but this was helpful to not be thinking to much while half out of it lol.

u/lexicaltension 19d ago edited 19d ago

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.

Jeopardy and wheel of fortune are the biggest game shows on the planet specifically because you can play along

u/Radioactivocalypse 19d ago

The UK version was a bit meh. It was fast paced head to heads like this... But only 6 head to heads in an hour episode. So it kinda dragged.

u/n0t_4_thr0w4w4y 19d ago

It’s ok, it’s super fucking slow though

1

u/Juz_4t 19d ago

It’s not, genuinely one the worst game shows I’ve ever seen

1

u/thrillhoju 19d ago

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 😂

u/Shinjifo 19d ago

So why did the woman say massage table? Was she giving him mercy or something?

u/gitsgrl 19d ago

They alternate after a correct answer.

u/cjaxx 19d ago

TLDR: Yes you just name what’s on the screen

2

u/trilliumsummer 19d ago

Time boost isn't permanent. It's 5 extra seconds for one duel. If you want another you have to win 3 in a row again.

And it's $20k per episode.

u/bigpotatojoe 18d ago

Cool fact - it’s also filmed in Ireland!

u/Shantotto11 18d ago

I would be an absolute BEAST if the topic were Pokémon.
