The Floor

I really like this show, rob lowe is okay as a host, could be someone else, but not bad. I think one of the things they could do is when they pass a clue they could pause the clock. I like the strategy of the game. The colors are bright and I like how there is so many different categories, I love trivia. I think there are a lot of different kinds of people on the show I like the variety. It's got good vibes. I wonder how they choose their contestants. I want this to be a good review and I'm trying to use up all the space 😂 I dont have any spoilers I think if you love trivia you would like this game show.

If you are looking for a new game show to watch, you might want to check out The Floor on Fox. The show, hosted by the charming Rob Lowe, is a clever and exciting competition that tests the contestants' knowledge and strategy on a variety of topics. The show's format is simple but effective: each contestant claims expertise in a certain topic, such as "Dogs," "80s TV," or "Nepo Babies." They then face off in duels, where they have to identify items from images or fill in the blanks. The catch is that they only have 45 seconds on their clock, and the only way to stop it is to answer correctly. The winner of the duel takes over the loser's space on the floor, a 9x9 grid where they stand. The goal is to expand their territory and eliminate their opponents. The last contestant standing wins $250,000, and the contestant with the most squares at the end of each episode wins $20,000.

The Floor is a game show that keeps you on the edge of your seat, as you watch the contestants try to outsmart and outguess each other. The duels are fast and fun, with clues ranging from easy to hard, and topics from obscure to popular. The show also adds some elements of reality TV, as the contestants interact with each other and reveal their personalities and strategies in side interviews. The host, Rob Lowe, adds some humor and charisma to the show, as he comments on the duels and chats with the contestants.

The Floor is a game show that is both entertaining and educational, as you learn new facts and trivia along the way. It is also a game show that is different from the typical ones, as it uses visual clues and a unique scoring system. The Floor is a game show that is worth watching, as it offers a fresh and fun twist to the genre.

I absolutely love the concept. Yes, Rob Lowe may be phoning it in, but he's still better than most modern hosts (except Higgins). People complain about the pace, but I think it's perfect. Great balance of down time to game time. I hate too much interview time for contestants, but this show doesn't do that.

I agree about the "Randomizer" not being as random as they try to portray, but that's what you should expect. All entertainment has a goal to entertain. Not mad about that.

When it comes to game shows, I care about a fun watch that I can engage in. That's this show. Can't wait for the next episode.

As in every trivia game, it is always fun to test your own skills and knowledge at home with your family against the contestants.

The premise is interesting in an overall outlook. But when you actually see the show, you find that it is less about skill and more about luck, random chance, and uneven rules.

I summarize and suggest some changes which could really add to the show's potential:

1) Contestants who excel and win several games in a row should be «saved» for the final round. In this way, you make sure the final will be exciting and batlled among the very two, three or four best. To watch a poor contestant who is called for duty just in the last round and wins it all is very disappointing and anti-climactic.

2) A failed answer by a contestant should be transfered to the opponent, that is, a pass or fail would be 'inherited' by the other, just as you inherit categories. This makes chances more even every time a difficult item is shown in the screen.

3) The required level of specification is uneven and unfair across categories. In some matches, just the last name is enough, but in others, a detailed and full compound answer is needed for the answer to be validated. Arbitrary criteria should be rectified to make matches fairer.

4) Also the level of difficulty across categories is uneven. Some involve the easiest images of everyday items (a spoon, a notebook, traffic lights), and other categories have a different kind of prompt which makes them quite more difficult, such as showing Shakespeare's quotes to guess the name of the work. This might be interesting but it is not fair and suggests suspicion of rigged hands.

5) Finally, all the «scripted» short remarks by the contestants, shown between matches as fillers, sound fake, and they put viewers off instead of creating expectation or interest. Less is more, in this case.

Rob Lowe is okay. Not smashingly good or epoch-making, but fulfills the role well enough.

In short, the show is promising and basically good, but I expect more changes and adjustments in next seasons.

Been captivated by this since the first episode. Why? The unpredictable & unlimited variety of categories and the intriguing way they are shifted among the contestants. Keeps you on your toes. Also, the way the dynamics among the players develop over time can be fascinating. Some incredible bonds can be formed among them, so the rivalries can be intense and fun and almost always friendly.

Curious about something. S3E11, in the second battle, the clock didn't stop the first time the contestant said the answer "German". Has anyone heard any feedback about that? I would think some adjustment might be in order.

Either way, it is a great show, whether for trivia challenge or watching human successes and foibles.
