The Floor

I love this show so much but I can't stand that they brought in a multiple time Jeopardy champion "David" (who's already won over $700K on Jeopardy) to compete against all the other normal folks in season 3! It's just not even enjoyable to me, if I wanted to watch a Jeopardy champ, I'd watch "Jeopardy" lol. Please "The Floor" producers, don't do that again lol. "David" at the start of the show was almost a millionaire from Jeopardy but now he wants another $250K (plus other bragging rights I'm sure) when to the other regular people competing that money could be truly life changing. Otherwise this show is very good, esp if you love trivia like I do! It's very unique and I highly recommend watching!

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.

The game play itself seems very interesting and different from most other game shows.

However, the format of the show was mind-numbingly long and drawn out. As typical for most shows nowadays, they inserted too much dialogue in between the question rounds along with unnecessary sound effects and graphics. I franky got bored. Thankfully I recorded it, so I could just fast forward through all the ridiculous drivel.

If they want people to stay tuned, they need to replace all the manufactured drama filler content with many more rounds of questions per hour, it would make it so much more enjoyable to watch.

I get the lights and the fun every day people playing. Not sure why we need to know the inside scoop on every player, especially the ones that lose right away. How hard would it be to move this faster and have a couple more rounds of players actually playing the game? Is it really that hard to come up with questions for this 'game'?

The premise is solid, the execution is mush. Advertisements and deep dives into people we really have no want or need to know about completely ruin what could have been a fun time for all.

I had a conversation with my wife about this show before she had seen an episode and I asked her to watch episode one and tell me what her grade would be. Her first sentence was, "When they finally played the game, I was in the other room doing something else."

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.
