(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
I'm Rob Lowe and this is The Floor.
(ROB) The fast-paced trivia duel...
Gondola.
Black-Eyed Peas?
Polar Bear.
That can fry the mind.
(MICHAEL) Um, um, uh...
-Over the last seven weeks... -Yes!
..we have seen some big plays, and big characters dominate.
Only to crash and burn.
Last time, queens of The Floor, Joey and Steph, were deposed.
-I went out swinging. -And a new reign began.
(ROB) We need a king, because it's been all queens.
The Kingdom of Gene!
With the finale only one week away...
About damn time!
Tonight, the big money is closer than ever.
Should I go for it?
Can King Gene hold onto his turf and go all the way?
-(ROB) You are unstoppable. -I want it!
Before a new pretender claims the crown...
(JOEL) I didn't come here to just be fabulous!
..with the grand prize now in sight...
Hi...
..the remaining players need to survive
tonight's brutal round of duels.
(ROB) Things are about to get real.
Eight more contestants go home.
Let's go!
And of those left standing, only one can go home
with a quarter of a million dollar grand prize.
This is The Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Welcome to The Floor!
Tonight, we are setting the stage for the finale.
-Are you guys ready? -(CHEERING)
(ROB) Let's bring out the players.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(ROB) There are 25 of you survivors left.
Take a good look around you.
Tonight, we will be saying goodbye to eight more.
Why don't we all take a moment to look at the lay of the land?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) There is A LOT of territory that is held by Gene.
(CONTESTANT) Yeah, Gene! (WHOOPS)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Twenty-four pieces of territory.
By the way, all of which were gained last time
by winning one single duel in his own category, Comedians.
I am a target, and I'm okay with that.
(ROB) Okay, we'll see how it plays out for you.
And there's the biggest area on the Floor.
Gabriel with 26 pieces of the Floor!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Last time, it was $20,000.
You inherited the category of the Human Body.
Are we feeling good about that?
You know, I have a human body.
-(ROB) That's true! -So, I feel good about that.
Alright, Gabriel, the time has come.
Do you play on or stay on the Floor?
(ROB) Let's see your categories.
That is a lot to choose from.
Including, of course, Michael's lonely little island
of Historic Headlines.
Are you ready to play, Michael?
Well, I'll be honest.
I've been having so much fun watching the show,
-I kinda forgot I was on it. -(LAUGHTER)
(ROB) Well, this could be your moment.
(ROB) But that is up to Gabriel. What're you thinking?
There are a lot of these categories
I think I could do well at... It's challenging.
But for now, I'm just gonna stay here.
(ROB) So, you are ready to defend the Human Body.
I will defend the Human Body with all of my T-cells.
(ROB) Alright.
(ROB) You all know what that means.
It's time for two new players.
Let's activate the Randomizer.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Eighteen of you have yet to play.
Who will be chosen for our first battle of the night?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) We need a contestant, and it is John!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
I waited it out for the first seven episodes, now I'm ready.
(ROB) Let's see your categories.
Human Body, Athletes, Movie Characters,
and TV Show Locations.
I know I don't want to go to Athletes.
Matthew knows all the athletes, he's got that taken care of.
I definitely don't wanna go to Dyllan and Movie Characters.
He's got that locked down. I could do TV Show Locations,
but that's just one piece of Floor.
-(ROB) That's right. -I'm gonna challenge Gabriel.
(ROB) Gabriel, come on up! Let's go!
Woo!
There's so much territory up for grabs,
and Gabriel just got the subject.
-(APPLAUSE) -You got this.
I'm feeling in my body, I've got this.
-Welcome. -Thank you.
John, tell me a bit about yourself. Where are you from?
I just moved to Minneapolis. I've been a political consultant
-for 20 years. -Oh, wow!
Last year I took a sabbatical to go to pastry school in Paris.
-Wow! -(GABRIEL) Very nice.
So if I win the $250,000, I'm opening up a bakery,
and anybody who lets me win - free croissants for life.
That is highly irregular, sir.
Alright, well, you are the challenger.
-Yep. -You will go first.
The category is the Human Body.
We'll show you parts of the human body,
-and you must name them. -Great.
Let's duel.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
-(APPLAUSE) -(ROB) Alright.
The new category that you've inherited is World Capitals.
You can continue on this roll or go back to the Floor.
Mm-hmm.
(ROB) Let's see your categories.
(ROB) So many categories.
Does anyone want to take you on?
-I want it! -Yeah, I know you do!
Play!
(YELLING) Play!
(ROB) Don't let peer pressure bother you.
If you go back to the Floor,
you'll have to defend World Capitals.
-(CHANTING) Keep go-ing. -Play! Play!
I know a lot of people, myself included,
have been frightened to go against World Capitals.
I mean, everybody knows you just inherited it.
(QUESTIONING) I feel comfortable enough, I think, to keep it?
I've got to go back to the Floor. Yeah.
(ROB) Alright. We'll see you again. Alright!
That means we need a new challenger.
Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Gabriel and Gene are dominating the turf.
Will anyone step up and challenge one of these titans?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(ROB) Joel!
What's up, baby? How you doin'?
(ROB) Unbelievable. Let's go through your categories.
Instruments, Kitchenware, and World Capitals.
(JOEL) Instruments?
I was in marching bands, so I know how to play
a clarinet, a saxophone, a few men.
(LAUGHTER)
Kitchenware? I couldn't tell you a spoon from a knife.
But I was born in Bogotá, Colombia,
so let's hit it, World Capitals.
(ROB) World Capitals! Come on back!
(JOEL) Good luck, good luck!
(TUCKER) Work, work... ahh!
We look fabulous. We smell fabulous... a little bit.
(IN SPANISH) Let's go, Colombia!
(IN SPANISH) ...I'm gonna give it everything!
Now we're gonna win this money, honey. Cha-ching!
Well, your strategy put you back on the Floor
for about two and a half seconds.
Yeah, it was a nice, well-needed break.
(ROB, FOREIGN ACCENT) Joelle! -It's time.
It's your moment. You are the challenger.
You'll go first. The category is World Capitals.
I'm gonna show you the name of a city.
You have to say its country.
-Ahh... -(ROB) Simple, right?
Let the duel begin.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Let's light up the Floor of your continuing domination.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
(ROB) That's a lot!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Now you've inherited Flags.
I don't think it makes a difference to you.
Yeah, Flags is one of these ones that I have studied a lot.
Well, it's decision time.
You can play on or you can go back to the Floor.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) There are 15 people bordering your turf
and twice tonight we've seen
that going back to the Floor does not keep you safe for long.
So, what will you do?
We'll find out when we come back.
(APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Welcome back and Gabriel...
has another big decision to make.
Yeah...
(ROB) Stay and play or go back to the Floor?
Here are the categories. Now you are in the lead
and now almost everyone borders your territory.
So if you go back to the Floor,
you could be back up here very quickly.
You've inherited Flags.
Um, International Foods would be nice.
(ROB) Jacquelyn, you've been very quiet over in that corner.
-But you're still here. -(JACQUELYN) I'm still here.
-(ROB) It's working for ya. -We'll see what happens.
All right, what're you thinkin'?
- International Foods does sound yummy.
But there is one category that I have been so tempted
and so, so hoping to play this whole time.
-(ROB) And it is? -And it's Instruments.
I grew up playing instruments
so I'd love to give that category a shot.
(ROB) Come on up, Instruments.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
You got this.
Gabriel's already got 20K in the bag.
Time to go home.
(GABRIEL) Since the beginning, I wanted to play Instruments.
This could be a good match up.
(NICK) Nice to meet you, sir.
(ROB) Nicholas, good to have you up here.
Who's watching at home for you tonight?
It just so happens to be the sixth anniversary
of my wedding with my lovely wife, Mariah,
and the seventh of our engagement.
Oh man, happy anniversary! That's great.
-Thank you, thank you. -What do you do for a living?
A chemical engineering professor.
Smarty pants, huh? Let's get to it.

You took down one of our best competitors ever.
-(ROB) Congratulations! -Thank you.
Let's light up your Floor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Wow, that is a lot of territory.
(ROB) Gabriel, you were unstoppable
right up until you weren't, and that's the way the Floor works.
-Thank you so much. -(GABRIEL) Thank you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) You stand in obscurity right up until the moment
you dominate the Floor.
And now you've inherited Flags as your category.
Are you gonna stay and play or go back to the Floor?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) Let's see your categories.
There's 14 bordering your turf that you can choose from.
(NICK) I only get to defend Flags one time.
(ROB) Nick, you now have 29 pieces of territory
and are in the lead for the 20K with five duels to go.
But playing for the $250,000 must be on your mind as well.
What are you gonna do?
I like Flags. I'm going back to the Floor.
(ROB) Alright, we'll see you again.
You're going back to the Floor with the lead for $20,000.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Well, we are three duels down with five more to go tonight.
Let's get our next player. Activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Who will it be?
Nick and Gene own the most territory.
Could our next challenger take one of them on?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
-(ROB) Michael! -Hi.
Hi...
You have options. Let's show them to you.
Flags and that's... pretty much it.
He's a professor and I have a degree in theater, so um...
(LAUGHTER)
(MICHAEL) But hey! It is what it is, let's go.
(ROB) Let's go, Flags!
Alright.
You know a lot more than you think you do.
Oh boy!
(ROB) This is for 30 pieces of territory
and we'll find out who will win them when we come back.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Welcome. Welcome... again!
Yeah, I was hoping a little bit later tonight, but oh well.
(ROB) Michael, tell me about yourself. Where are you from?
-I'm from Philadelphia. -(ROB) Excellent.
Yeah, I'm a tour guide there just like Tom--
There is like a plethora of tour guides from Philadelphia!
Yeah, when one falls another rises to take their place.
(ROB) Right. Not to put any pressure on you,
but this is for 30 pieces of territory on the Floor.
You are the challenger, so you will go first.
The category is Flags. I'm going to show you an image
and you must identify the country it represents.
-(ROB) Are you ready? -As ready as I will ever be!
(ROB) ..ever gonna be! Let the duel begin.

Let's light up this massive amount of the Floor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Wow!
(ROB) You now own 30 pieces of territory.
You have inherited his category of Historical Headlines.
-You've a big decision to make. -Yeah.
You can keep going or you can go back to the Floor.
(ROB) Let's check out your categories.
(ROB) Same categories as last time.
International Foods or Country Music
could add three pieces of the Floor to your turf.
(ROB) Or there's 24 up for grabs
if you want to take on Gene and One Hit Wonders.
(NICK) Of course, I do like some much more than others...
..but I really like Historical Headlines. I'll take my chances
and go back to the Floor to see if I can defend that one.
-It worked for you last time. -Yeah.
-Let's see if it works again. -(NICK) Thank you.
Good strategy, we'll see how it plays out for you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Alright, it's time to get our players for our next duel.
Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Two whales are dominating the Floor
while 14 of you have never even been up here.
Which one of you is it gonna be?
(ROB CHUCKLES)
How are you feeling?
-I felt better before this... -(LAUGHTER)
(ROB) Let's find out what your categories are.
(ROB) International Foods or you can take on the whale,
Nick with Historic Headlines.
Look at this - you go from being quiet over there
to controlling the board.
You could be on the brink of winning 20 grand.
Plus that quarter of a million dollar grand prize
is getting closer.
There's only four more duels tonight.
(SIGHS)
You know what? Go big or go home.
(ROB) Alright! Come on back up.
You can run but you can't hide.
I love you guys... Thank you.
This is it, this is my shot to take home the money.
Might as well go for the most squares.
(ROB) Laphea, welcome.
-Thanks, Rob. -Good to have you over here.
(ROB) Nick, man, you are just getting no rest.
If you win the 20K, you will have definitely earned it.
You are the challenger, you'll go first.
It's Historic Headlines.
I will show you hypothetical headlines
of real historic events.
Each has a word or words missing.
-(ROB) You fill in the blank. -Okay.
And whoever wins this duel
will be in the lead for $20,000.
Let's duel.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Welcome back!
Nick and Laphea are about to duel
in the category of Historic Headlines.
And whoever wins will be in the lead for $20,000.
-(ROB) You ready? -Yep.

(ROB) Thirty one pieces of Floor.
-(LAPHEA) Thank you. -Thank you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Now you have inherited Kitchenware.
You have a big decision: stay and play
or go back to the Floor. Let's look at the categories.
(ROB) It's a lot of choices.
(NICK) I mean, every time you're up here
is an opportunity to go home.
And $250,000 is really, at this point, right around the corner.
(NICK) Right. (SIGHS) But can I defend Kitchenware?
I don't think I can.
(ROB) We have three more duels tonight.
(NICK) Alright. (EXHALES SHARPLY)
I can't believe I'm saying this. Uh, I-I'm staying.
(ROB) He's gonna stay.
(NICK) I'm terrified of Kitchenware.
(NICK EXHALES SHARPLY) (ROB) What category will it be?
(NICK) I gotta keep going with
the sorta theme of the evening: History Makers.
(ROB) History Makers, come on up!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
I hate losing in any situation, whether it's on the golf course,
making a real estate deal and especially playing trivia.
(NICK) It's all about survival.
I'm just trying to make it to the end for that $20,000.
(ANDREW) Hey, buddy. How are you?
-(ROB) Welcome, Andrew. -Thank you very much.
So, History Makers.
History Makers are obviously very important people
that have done a lot and it's gonna be a very fun battle
with a very worthy opponent, a professor, so this is great.
-We started with 81 players. -(ANDREW) Yeah.
(ROB) There are 20 left. (ANDREW) Mm-hmm.
One of you will win the $250,000 grand prize next time
-in our season finale. -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
You know how it goes. The category is History Makers.
I'm gonna show you images of famous historical figures.
You'll need to identify them by name.
-Great. -(ROB) One of these players
will take the lead for 20 grand. Let the duel begin.

Let's light up the Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It's a lot of Floor.
Andrew, you were under pressure, you were so close.
-Thank you very much. -(ROB) Thank you.
(ANDREW) Thank you everybody.
You have 32 pieces of the Floor.
(ROB) There are only two more duels
and you are in the lead for $20,000.
You've had no rest. This decision is huge.
Are you gonna play or go back to the Floor?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You're back with Nick who has a big decision to make:
stay or go back to the Floor.
(ROB) Let's look at your categories.
(ROB) There's a lot to choose from.
(ROB) International Foods, One Hit Wonders,
Country Music, and Snacks
are all categories that have been inherited.
And then there's Sports Movies,
Hobbies, Games,
Athletes, Movie Characters,
Best Picture Winners, TV Show Locations,
and Geography. There are two more duels left.
That last duel put the fear of God in me.
(ROB, CHUCKLING) I bet!
You still have to defend Kitchenware.
(NICK) Let's see, I'm only safe for three spots
in the Randomizer?
(ROB) Actually, only four of the remaining players
are not touching your territory.
(NICK) Wow.
(ROB) If any of them get randomized next,
they'll be safe.
Alright, I am going to gamble on the Randomizer
-rather than myself on this one. -(ROB) Take a break?
I'm heading back to the Floor.
-Yep. Catch your breath. -Thanks.
Alright, it makes perfect sense.
(ROB) That was tough.
(WHISTLES IN RELIEF)
We need to get a new player. Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) I can feel the pressure in the room mounting.
(ROB) Two more battles.
(ROB) Austin, hello. (AUSTIN) Let's go.
You have been waiting very patiently for this.
I know! Patience is a beautiful thing.
(ROB) You can talk to your neighbor
about the trials and tribulations of being up here.
Any advice for him?
It is incredibly scary.
You want to freeze and it's absolutely awful.
(EVERYONE LAUGHING)
Let's see your categories.
(ROB) Hobbies or Kitchenware?
$20,000 is on the table and there are only two more duels.
My gut's telling me we're 50-50,
but then I have a feeling I'm gonna get challenged. Hmm...
(ROB) I mean, look, Nick is, as we've seen, formidable.
He's also a little bit gassed.
(LAUGHTER)
(AUSTIN) Audience, what do you guys think? Should I go for it?
(LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Rob, I'm going with the audience. I'm going for it.
(ROB) Oh my God!
Poor Nick, come back up.
(TUCKER) Go get it, baby. You and that pink!
(AUSTIN) Nick has Kitchenware.
Who doesn't own a kitchen? How hard could it be?
(NICK) I know nothing about kitchenware,
but the game is the game
and the Randomizer is a cruel mistress.
(AUSTIN) Good luck. (NICK) Good luck.
-Hey, Austin, welcome up. -(AUSTIN) Hi, Rob.
-You're a personal trainer. -Correct, Rob.
Okay, so I'm assuming you have a very low resting heart rate?
-It's a little high right now. -(ROB CHUCKLES) Right, exactly!
Nick, I mean, I'm so sorry that I can't give you any rest.
It's your anniversary and you're working even harder
than you would be on your anniversary,
if you know what I'm saying and I know that you do.
-(LAUGHTER) -That's alright.
(ROB) Austin, you're up first. The category is kitchenware.
I'm going to show you images.
You need to correctly identify each one of them
and you are in the lead for $20,000.
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(ROB) Let the duel begin.

Let's light up your Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Oh my God!
(ROB) Thanks for playing, appreciate it.
Thank you guys.
(ROB) Whoa! Nick, this is the fifth battle you've won today.
-Are you serious? -(ROB) Yes.
Wow.
(ROB) And now you've inherited Sports Movies.
(NICK) I'm a sports guy, a movie guy.
I know a lot of sports movies.
I am way more comfortable defending Sports Movies
than Kitchenware.
And there's only one more duel left tonight.
So you're right there for the $20,000.
And with that, looking good for the quarter million dollars
-if you can hang on, -If I can hang on.
You have a big decision to make.
Do you play or go back to the Floor?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) Well, let's see your categories.
(NICK) Well, do I keep it in my own hands, keep control,
or do I at least allow the Randomizer to give me a shot...
..at win by default?
If I have to play,
-Sports Movies is good. -(ROB) Yeah.
And let's see if the Randomizer can save me a little bit.
-I'm gonna go back to the Floor. -Get some rest.
-Thanks. -Good luck.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) It is the final duel of the night.
Will Nick hold on to the $20,000 lead?
We will find out after we activate the Randomizer.
(QUIETLY)
(JACQUELYN WHISPERING)
(ROB) Eleven of you haven't played yet.
(ROB) Who will the Randomizer land on?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(MATTHEW) Let's go! Let's go!
(MATTHEW) Let's go! (TUCKER) Okay! Are you ready?
(MATTHEW) Let's go! (TUCKER) Let's do this!
Matthew, let's find out what your categories are.
(ROB) One Hit Wonders, Sports Movies,
Games, and Fashion Icons.
I'm representing athletes,
27 years worth of sports movies, like it's a no brainer.
So, Nick, Sports Movies it is.
Come on back!
-(CHEERING) -(NICK) Let's go!
(TUCKER) Get your $20,000.
(MATTHEW) I'm the sports guy.
Nobody knows more about sports than I do,
so it's a no-brainer decision for me to go after Nick.
(NICK) I wanted to hide out to the end.
I feel like I'm getting picked on.
(MATTHEW) If it had to be anybody...
-(NICK) Yep. -..I wanted it to be you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Welcome back to The Floor.
Matthew is taking on Nick
at his inherited category of Sports Movies.
The winner wins $20,000. Nick!
-Yes, sir. -(ROB) Eight duels tonight.
-(NICK) Yes. -You have been in six of them.
-Oh, wow, okay. -Big run.
(ROB) We're talking about sports.
This is like Cal Ripken. You are the Iron Man.
Let's see if you can keep it going.
Matthew, what is it about sports in particular that you love?
I have two older brothers who were really into basketball.
They told me when I was probably three,
you can only play with us if you learn how to dribble.
So, I spent the whole summer in the garage
teaching myself how to dribble, fell in love with basketball,
been a sports fan ever since.
Well, you have found yourself in our final duel of the night.
I'm ready.
Only one of you will make it to the season finale.
You are the challenger. You will go first.
The category is Sports Movies.
We're gonna show you an image,
and you need to say the movie's title.
Are you ready for $20,000?
(MATTHEW) Wow. (NICK) Yeah.
-Let the duel begin. -Let's get it.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.
(GENE) I don't think you know what you're in for. Buckle in.
In an epic conclusion to the battle of the brains...
If I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna go down swinging.
..time to take a deep breath...
-I might be toast. -..clear the mind...
Sometimes you just gotta let the game come to you.
..and prepare for battle.
I am the ultimate player.
Only one can win the $250,000 grand prize.
(CONTESTANT) It's time to play. Game on.
