(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
I'm Rob Lowe, and this is the Floor.
Eighty-one contestants entered the arena,
each with their own unique trivia category.
My expert category is TV Show Hosts.
-Best Picture Winners. -(KRYSTAL) Fast Food.
(ROB) The game is simple. When selected...
-I'm ready! Let's go. -(ROB) Come on up!
..players go head to head in an intense duel.
Uh, pomegranate.
Octopus?
Um, uterus. Pass.
Wow!
The winner takes the territory.
Let's light it up!
The loser goes home for good.
At stake, $250,000
for the last contestant standing.
I am going to smash it up there.
(ROB) Last time, insurance adjuster Greg
emerged as the early contender...
You've used up your area of expertise,
and you have inherited... (BOTH) ..vegetables!
while school tutor Jasper dominated.
You just keep knocking 'em down!
..winning a lot of territory, and the 20k bonus for having
the most floor at the end of the night.
-You've done it! 20k! -(CHEERING)
Tonight, eight more will go home.
At the end of the season, only one can win.
This... is the Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Welcome back, audience. You ready?
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -Let's bring out our players!
(EXCITED CHEERS)
(ROB) Yes!
-Alright! Yeah! -(CHEERING)
(ROB) There we go!
When I look at the Floor, I can't imagine
how I'm gonna get through all of these people but I have to.
(ROB) Welcome back here, buddy!
I've won $20,000. Now it's time to lay low for a little bit.
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
You guys are ready. I can tell.
(CONTESTANTS) Yeah!
(ROB) I love it. Jasper...
(RIVALS CHEERING)
(ROB) You've got five pieces of the Floor,
making it the most of anybody, which means...
..you took home $20,000. How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling ready.
(ROB) You went back to the Floor to defend Rock Stars?!
-That's right. -(ROB) You may live to...
regret it! Who's ready to take him on? Everybody?
(VARIOUS CONTESTANTS) I am! Me! Let's go!
(ROB) Jasper, people are gunning for you.
I think it's important to take a minute and look around you
because at the end of the night...
..eight of you will be gone.
(GROANS OF DISAPPOINTMENT)
Alright, let's get to the games. We need a new player.
-Yeah! -(CHEERS)
Let's activate the Randomizer!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Seventy-one of you haven't played yet.
Who will be first up tonight?
(MUSIC BUILDS)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
-(ROB) Hello, how are you? -Hi! I'm doing good.
-(ROB) What's your name? -My name is Krystal, with a K!
-(ROB) Krystal with a K? -With a K! Yeah!
Well, if you're ready, let's see your four categories.
-(KRYSTAL) Okay. -Technology...
..TV Hosts,
Transportation.
And the only category without a T, Fashion Brands.
(KRYSTAL) So, TV Hosts... I watch a lot of TV
but I'm good with faces and not names.
Technology, uh, not so good.
So that leaves me
with Transportation and Fashion Brands.
I have to go with my girl Fashion Brands! I'm sorry!
(HANNAH) Girl, it's okay!
(ROB) Fashion Brands! Let's get ready to duel!
(CHEERING)
(RIVALS CHEER ON KRYSTAL)
I came to the Floor to win the money -
I ain't here to make friends,
I'm here to take home the cash prize!
(HANNAH) I've been waiting for this, and I'm ready to go.
I know my fashion logos
because I love spending my money on clothes.
-(HANNAH) Hey, queen. -Hi!
(ROB) Alright, here we are.
Tell me why you chose her and that category.
She has fashion brands, and I'm a material girl, so!
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(TUCKER) Krystal! Krystal!
That's fair! Okay! I can't even--
So here's how it works. You both have 45 seconds.
A correct answer stops the clock
and starts your opponent's. The incorrect answers
are not penalized but your clock keeps running.
If you're struggling, say pass, you'll get a new image
but that will cost you a critical 3 seconds.
The first player whose clock runs out leaves the Floor.
You are the challenger, so you will get the first question.
Fashion Brands is the category.
I'm going to show you images that represent various brands,
and you have to say their name. You ready?
-Ready. -Are you ready?
-I'm ready. -Let the duel begin!
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Uh, Lectose. Lactose?
Uh, I don't know how to pronounce it.
Lactose? Lec-a-tose?
L-A-C-O-T-S-E!
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(KRYSTAL SIGHS)
Adidas.
Oh, um... crap.
Rolex!
Gucci.
Um, Levi's.
Chanel. Coco Chanel.
-Um, pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Ray-Bans.
Uh...
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Pass. Oh! Uh...
..shoot!
Ed Hardy. Uh...
Pass. I have no idea what that is.
-Pass?! -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
-(ALL SIGHING IN DISAPPOINTMENT) -(ROB) Tougher than it looks!
Hannah, you're our first winner of the night!
Let's light up your floor. Light it up!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(KRYSTAL) Bye, y'all!
(CONTESTANT) Bye, Krystal! Bye!
(ROB) So you've got a decision to make.
You've inherited Fast Foods. You a big fast food person?
-Um, not really. -That's not a good sign.
So now you have a big decision to make.
Play or return to the Floor?
Let's see what categories you've got.
There's Technology, TV Hosts, Transportation, Kitchenware,
Desserts, and Famous Animals.
And remember, whoever has the most turf at the end
of the night will go home with $20,000 no matter what.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
-Um, I really like animals... -(ROB) Yes.
..but the thing is, even though I don't eat fast food,
I'm really comfortable with that one.
So you go back to the Floor,
you get challenged, you're good with defending Fast Foods?
-Oh, I'm ready. -She's going back to the Floor!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Alright, so let's play on. Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) The Randomizer only selects
players who haven't dueled.
So you can run but you can't hide.
(EXCITED CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) You, my friend, are the chosen one.
What is your name? And what is your area of expertise?
My name's Darin, and uh, Cereal was my expertise,
which, I feel like you were trying
to get me up there already.
I've been wanting some cereal. I'm not going to lie.
-That's fair! -Let's see your categories.
Famous Hair, Hobbies,
Nepo Babies, Veggies.
(DARIN) Well, I got a few choices...
..but I could add a whole lot of the board if I challenge...
-..veggies over here. -(CHEERING)
-(TUCKER) He playin' to win! -That could be a very smart call
because Greg inherited Veggies. How you feeling, Greg?
Hungry.
(ALL CHEERING EXCITEDLY)
Hope you had your carrots today! I'm going to go with Veggies.
(ROB) Veggies! Alright, come on up, guys!
(CONTESTANT) You got this!
I'm from Minnesota and I'm a pro wrestler
who's used to slamming people on the floor!
(GREG) Well, I think Darin's in pretty good shape
so he probably does eat his vegetables.
But I've had time to prepare,
and I think I'm ready for him.
(APPLAUSE)
-Greg, welcome back. -I missed you.
See, I told you this vegetable thing
might come back to haunt you.
You are our challenger, sir. Welcome.
Thank you for having me.
Now you're in the independent wrestling circuit?
-You are correct. -That is a thing?!
-Well, if you want me to show-- -(ROB) No, no, no, no!
-(DARIN) Alright, alright! -(CHEERING)
I could bodyslam you right on the Floor!
By the way, I am noticing these snaps do look like
kind of breakaway snaps.
Are those so you can do that whenever you need?
Oh yeah, easy attire. Entrance gear off and on.
-Oh my God! -(APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Remember, there's 20k at stake for whoever
has the most territory at the end of the night.
Right now, that is Jasper with five squares.
Whoever wins this duel will have four.
You are the challenger. You'll go first.
The category is Veggies. I'm going to show you a photo,
you name the vegetable. Let the duel begin!
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS) -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Broccoli.
Artichoke.
Cauliflower.
Spinach.
Corn.
Asparagus.
Sweet potato.
Celery.
Beet.
Peas.
Uh, broccoli rabe?
Uh... arugula?
Kale.
Carrots.
String beans.
Uh, rutabaga?
Uh, turmeric?
Uh, radish? Horseradish.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Onion.
Lettuce!
Cabbage.
Peas?
Brussels sprouts.
Turnip, um...
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Uh...
-..pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
That looks like I'm going back to Minnesota!
(ALL APPLAUD AND SIGH IN DISAPPOINTMENT)
NEXT!
(ROB) Wow! Greg!
-(CONTESTANT) Oh my God! -(ROB) Congratulations.
-That's a beautiful thing. -(ROB) Let's light it up!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm not letting you go...
..without, what did you call it? The Exit?
What's the technical term for this?
-Whoa! -(CHEERING)
(ROB) WOW!
(TUCKER) My eyes!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Greg, you've inherited the category of...
-(GREG) Cereal! -..cereal.
So now you have a very big decision to make.
Do you keep playing? Or do you go back to the Floor?
We'll find out when we come back.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Welcome back to the Floor.
It's decision time for Greg.
Do you keep playing? Or do you go back to the Floor?
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -Let's look at your categories.
Ooh, you got a lot to choose from out there.
Now remember, if you earn one more piece of the Floor,
you will be tied with Jasper for tonight's $20,000 prize,
with six duels left to go.
Hey, Jasper! We're almost neighbors!
-Hey! -(LAUGHTER)
You know, right now I prefer the view from down there.
I'm gonna go back.
Wow!
That's no way to get to the $20,000.
But it may be the way to get to...
(BOTH) ..the $250,000.
(ROB) I see!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(GREG) There's no way I'm going to be beaten
in Cereals. I'm pretty confident.
(ROB) Alright, we need a new player.
-Activate the Randomizer. -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Greg is playing the long game.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
(ROB) Can any of you put a stop to that strategy?
-(ALL GASPING) -(ROB) Oh!
(APPLAUSE)
Hey, Rob!
-Hey, man. What's your name? -Tom.
Feeling ready? Your heart rate is good? You're good to go?
-Oh no, it's elevated. -Oh, good.
Let's find out what categories you have to choose from.
Toys, Movie Characters,
Drinks, and Bugs.
-I love movies. -Yep.
But I'm also... a-a big child.
(ROB) Look, he's giving you attitude already! He's like--
(TOM) Look, Chuck. Chuck... you're a great guy
but I'm going to challenge you on Toys.
(YELLING) Let's go!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(TOM) I've always loved trivia. I love learning new things.
That's why I became a tour guide.
I get to use that knowledge and hopefully take some money home!
I'm better, smarter, faster, quicker
than 99% of the people out there.
I would not have come after me!
-(CHEERING) -(ROB LAUGHING)
-This is what you wanted. -(ROB) He chills ya!
It is what I wanted.
(ROB) Charles, what would you do with the money if you made it
all the way through this adventure?
Uh, you know, I have a three-year-old son
so the wise thing is to put that money away
but actually, I'm just going to go spend it on comic books.
-(LAUGHTER) -Alright, Tom, tell me...
..you're an expert in trivia, huh?
Yes.
Okay, what's your most random
interesting piece of trivia?
Oh, man, I don't know. You put me on the spot here!
Alright, Tom, you're ready for the game. That's clear.
-(LAUGHTER) -(ROB) Okay. Alright, you guys.
Tom, you are the challenger, so you're first up
and the category is Toys. I'm going to show you an image
-and you name the toy. Ready? -Yeah.
-Are you ready? -Absolutely.
-Let's begin the duel! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Rubik's Cube.

(MUSIC CLIMAXES)
-And that's all, folks! -(APPLAUSE, SIGHS OF SADNESS)
-(ROB) Tom, congratulations. -Woo!
Let's light up your new area of the Floor.
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
-Thank you, man. Thank you. -(TOM) See you later, Charles.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
You were the challenger, and you beat him in the Toys category.
That's very, very well done.
Yeah, I-I feel more like I, uh... I won
by him scratching on the 8 ball.
It's not just knowing the category.
It's performing under pressure.
-Yeah. -(ROB) So the question is,
are you gonna continue to press your luck up here?
Or will you go back to the Floor?
(ROB) Let's hear new categories. You have Cereal...
-(SCATTERED LAUGHTER) -(ROB) ..Fashion Icons,
Horror Movies, Movie Characters, Drinks,
and of course, Bugs.
And both Greg and Natalia
have inherited their categories
so there might be some weakness there.
(ROB) Remember, whoever has the most territory at the end
of the night goes home with 20k.
-Greg, by now, is an expert. -ROB LOWE: Yup.
I-I got to go with Bugs!
-You're gonna keep playing? -(TOM) I'm gonna keep playing.
(ROB) I like the guts!
Natalia, come on up!
(ROB) Time to rep the bug!
(TOM) Natalia's smart but I hate bugs so much
that I studied them. Study your enemy and you'll never go wrong.
(NATALIA) When I first heard that I was gonna take on Bugs,
I knew that I'd have to study them.
I am ready and I'm gonna win this thing.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
-(ROB) You're back. -(NATALIA) Yes.
You're defending a large part of the Floor.
There's 20 grand in store for the person with the most
territory at the end of the night.
Right now, that is Jasper.
So you gotta kinda throw down, I think.
-Yeah, I gotta fight. -Have you been studying on bugs?
I have been studying on bugs
but fun fact... well, terrifying fact....
-(ROB) Yes? -..I have a phobia of bugs.
(LAUGHTER)
So when I was studying last night,
I had a meltdown and I started crying.
(MIXED GASPS AND LAUGHTER)
(ROB) Well, there are no bugs on this stage.
-(NATALIA) Thankfully! -(LAUGHTER)
I don't care how much space she has. I wouldn't pick Bugs.
(ROB) Okay, you both have 45 seconds. The category is Bugs.
I'm going to show you some images of insects,
and you have to correctly identify them.
Let the duel begin!
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Ladybug.
Ant.
Mosquito.
Bee.
Dragonfly.
Uh...
..caterpillar.
Uh... katydid.
No, uh... Grasshopper.
Cockroach.
Praying mantis.
Um...
..cicada.
Katydid.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Uh, stick bug.

-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
-(NATALIA) CRICKET! -(SIGHS FROM AUDIENCE)
(CHEERING)
(YELLING) It's a cricket!
(ROB) Tom, you did it!
Yup. Yeah, I did.
You didn't miss one!
-I haven't, have I? -(ROB) No!
Let's reward you by lighting up your new acquisition
on the Floor!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Natalia, everybody! She was awesome! Thank you!
(CHEERING)
(ROB) So I'm just looking at how the Floor lays out,
and if you get one more piece,
you and Jasper will be tied for who has the most turf.
With tonight's $20,000 prize up for grabs
-and four more duels to come. -(TOM AND AUDIENCE SIGH)
So you have a lot of thinking to do.
-Yeah, I do. -Are you going to stay and play
or will you go back to the Floor?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Let's look at some of the categories you have
as an option.
(LAUGHING)
(ROB) This is a lot to digest.
If you were to choose Greg and Cereals,
you would have, by far, the biggest area on the Floor.
(TOM) See, Greg... Greg knows this game.
Yeah.
-But so do I. -That's right. You do.
(ALL GASPING AND CHEERING)
Look at Greg walking around his territory!
(TOM) He's strutting!
(ROB) He's just strutting down the territory he has!
I thought I was about to make my way up!
Ha! Well, just hang on a minute! Hang on a minute!
(ROB) If you and Greg were to duel,
whoever wins would overtake Jasper for the lead in territory
and tonight's $20,000.
Uh, as much as I want to continue playing...
-It's right within your grasp! -(TOM) I know! I know!
But I'll be a target no matter what for everyone around me
but I'm going to be able to defend then my expertise: Bands.
If I go after Cereal-- Ah! But that's not his expertise, is it?
-(ROB) No. He inherited cereal. -(GREG) No, it's not.
-(CONTESTANT) Do it! Do it! -(CHEERING)
-Audience, what do you guys say? -(RIVALS) Do it! Do it!
(CHANTING) Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
(ALL CHANTING) Cer-eal! Cer-eal! Cer-eal!
I'm neutral! I'm neutral!
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go after Greg. Get up here!
-Yeah! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(TOM) This isn't your category, Greg.
I'm coming for you outside of your comfort zone.
(ROB) This is the battle that we have been waiting for.
I don't think I've ever been more intimidated by a man
-wearing a pumpkin sweater. -(LAUGHTER)
-(ROB) How are you feeling? -I know Greg knows this game
but let's give the people what they want.
Well, I mean, I just inherited this category
-so let's see where it goes. -(ROB) Yeah, that's right.
(ROB) You're both familiar with the rules
The category is Cereals. I'm gonna show you a box of cereal
and you identify.
Whoever wins this duel will be in the lead
for our $20,000 prize. Let the duel begin!
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(QUIETLY, TO HIMSELF)
Cheerios.
Cornflakes.
Rice Krispies.
Frosted Flakes.
Uh... F-froot Loops.
-Lucky Charms! -(LAUGHTER)
Wheaties.
Raisin Bran!
Um...
Apple Jacks. Smacks! Smacks!
Fruity Pebbles.
Uh... Honey-Combs.
-Uh... um... pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Count Chocula.
Um... Rice... Chex.
Uh...
All Bran.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
-Um... pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Uh... Trix.
Uh... Golden Grahams.
Sugar Pops.
Uh... Franken Beanies.
Franken... Franken Berries!
Honey Grahams.
(GROANS OF DISAPPOINTMENT)
-(ROB) Tom! Wow! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Was that a battle or what? Holy moly!
-(GREG) Mueslix! -Tom, you have taken the lead
with the most territory. Light up the Floor!
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Greg, what was the cereal that threw you?
Mueslix!
The less good for you the cereal,
the easier we all remembered it? If it's healthy, we're like...
-.."I dunno what that is!" -Exactly right.
Thank you, you've been great. I really appreciate everything.
-Hey, good luck. -(TOM) Greg, thanks.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) And just like that, you can go from being
one of the front runners to goin' home.
So, Tom, you have now withstood a challenge from three players
and vanquished them all in their categories.
(ROB) And you still have your area of expertise
but you have the decision. Are you gonna be aggressive
or are you going to go back to the Floor?
(TENSE MUSIC)
Let's look at the categories.
(ROB) Oh man, it is gettin' crazy out there.
It's gettin' crazy out there!
(ROB) You're in the lead for the $20,000.
Uh, I went after the territories that I thought I could take
and... I took those categories.
(TOM) The categories that are now
surrounding me both intrigue and terrify me.
I'm gonna go back to the Floor.
Alright, head on back. You're in the lead for $20,000.
(ROB) But will that lead hold with three duels to go?
He's not to be played with. He's half genius.
(WOMAN) I know but I'm very strategic.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
-I'm in danger! -(LAUGHTER)
Alright, it's time to get our next player.
-Let's fire up the Randomizer. -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) We have three more duels tonight. Who will be next?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(ROB) Way back in the corner!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) And you don't look happy to me.
-Uh... no, I am... I am happy. -(LAUGHTER)
The whole point of the game is you gotta enter the arena!
Right, right, right.
(ROB) Well, let's look at the categories.
International Foods, Technology
and TV Hosts.
I'm not gonna go with International Foods.
-Spice is not my friend. -(LAUGHTER)
(ANNE) I'm gonna have to go with TV Hosts, I'm sorry.
(ROB) Alright! Come on up!
As a Trivia League Champion, there's no reason
why I shouldn't win the whole shebang.
(JACQUELYN) Staying cool under pressure
is a big part of this game. It's knowing your category
but not crumbling under the pressure.
This game is like (BEEP) chess, genuinely.
And you know what? I play chess.
(ROB) Well, well, well. Here we are.
-Where are you from? -Uh... Fargo, North Dakota.
What is Fargo like?
Cold in the winter, a month of hot in the summer.
-(ROB) Right?! -Then it gets colder again.
(LAUGHTER)
-Jacquelyn, you are from? -Originally from the biggest
little city in the world - Reno, Nevada.
But now I live in New York City.
(ROB) New York versus Fargo. We really have
the demographic of geography right here.
You guys know how this works.
As the challenger, you are going to go first.
(ROB) The category is TV Hosts. I'm gonna show you photos
-Yes. -(ROB) ..and you say the name.
Let's start with a bonus one.
-John Stamos! -(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)
Let us begin the duel!
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Oprah Winfrey.
Ryan Seacrest.
Alex Trebek.
Dr. Phil.
Nick Cannon.
Uh... Judge Judy.
Jimmy Fallon.
L-Larry King.
Rachel Ray.
Tamron Hall.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(INAUDIBLE)
James Corden.
Barbara Walters.
John Oliver.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Johnny Carson.

Wendy Williams.
Uh...
Jameela Jamil?
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Um...
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Mario Lopez.
(GROANS OF DISAPPOINTMENT)
-(ROB) Jacquelyn! -(JACQUELYN, SINGING) Rob!
-(ROB) Under the wire! -How much time was left?
-(ROB) It goes in a blur. -I blacked out.
Yeah, I totally get it - the stress is just too much.
Or did I? Strategy!
(ROB) It was great. Let's light up your place on the Floor.
(JACQUELYN) Thank you!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Anne, thanks for playing. Good job.
Now, the good news is, you're a winner.
-Yeah. -The maybe bad news...
Musicals is the category you've inherited, is that good or bad?
We'll say indifferent. Let them find out.
-(ROB) Ooh! -(BEEP)
(ROB) I like that you're not letting us know.
Well, Jacquelyn, you have a huge decision to make.
You can stay and try to get more
or you can return to the Floor.
(ROB) And remember, there are only two more duels.
Let's see what categories you'd have to choose from.
We have International Foods,
Technology, Kitchenware, and Fast Food.
(JACQUELYN) I do cook a lot. I also eat a lot of fast food -
that category's speaking to me a little bit.
(JACQUELYN) Technology... He's lived through some decades
so, I'm sure he's seen technology.
-(ALL GASPING) -(ROB) Shots fired!
(LAUGHING) More decades than myself!
But it's a vague category so, that scares me a little
but I think as much fun as it's been up here,
I'd like to go back down to the Floor for a little bit.
-(TOM) No! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
My strategy is just forfeiting any sort of, you know,
$20,000 winnings in my future
and staying in my little corner for now.
Alright, activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) And, of course, tonight's 20 grand is still up for grabs.
(ROB) And it is... going to be...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
-(ROB) Oh! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) There are only two more duels left tonight
so this is a gigantic opportunity for you.
Let's look at what your categories could be.
Okay.
(ROB) There are Rock Stars,
Nepo Babies, Brunch,
and Bands!
(KEVIN) Well, I do know bands.
Do I know as much as Tom, is the question.
But then again, it's $20,000.
(CONTESTANTS GASP)
(KEVIN) Then we have Jasper. This is not his category.
(TENSE MUSIC)
With that being said, we're going with Bands.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Bands! Come on up!
(TOM) What's Kevin doing?
Bands - that's my defensive category.
Kevin! Come on, buddy!
The aim of the game is taking up spaces. That's what I wanna do.
Who doesn't want a shot at $20,000?!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
-(ROB) Welcome. -Thanks for having me.
-(ROB) This guy! -This guy.
You know that Tom is quickly becoming
a legend on the Floor?
(KEVIN) Yeah, yeah, he is. He's done a great job tonight.
But this is the first time he's being challenged
-in his own category. -Right.
Looks different from this side of the table. I tell you that.
-(ROB) How are you feeling? -He's done well all night
but, uh... nothing lasts forever.
(ROB) As the challenger, you are going to go first.
I'm gonna show you images that represent bands
and you must correctly identify them.
And whoever wins this duel will be in the lead for $20,000.

You can play or you can go back to the Floor.
(ROB) There is only one more duel.
(ROB) You have the world at your disposal.
Kevin's category was Sci-Fi which is now my category.
(ROB) That's right.
(TOM) Now, I'm pretty good at all those categories,
I'm excellent at Sci-Fi.
(CONTESTANTS GASP)
(ROB) Or is that just a horrendous bluff?
-(RIVALS CLAMORING) -Call it! Call it!
-(CONTESTANT) Bluff! -(JASPER) Bluff!
Uh... I'm going to head back to the Floor
and let someone come in, uh... fight me in my wheelhouse.
(ROB) There you have it. The gauntlet is thrown down.
(ROB) Back to the Floor.
Alright, so, let's get at it. Activate the Randomizer.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) It's the last duel of the night.
(ROB) Tom is lookin' to take home tonight's $20,000.
(ROB) But one of you have the opportunity
to challenge him.
-(TENSE MUSIC CLIMAXES) -(CONTESTANTS GASP)
(ROB) It's back over here!
-(ROB) Tell me your name. -Adinah.
(ROB) See, this is the thing. It's very, very quiet
right up until the moment you have a huge chance like this.
-That's exactly right. -Let's see your categories...
..you have One Hit Wonders, Sci-Fi,
and Drinks.
(ROB) And if you take on Tom, if you win,
that will be worth $20,000.
(FELLOW CONTESTANT) Get that money, honey!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Now, you remember, he's kind of given you fair warning
-that he's an expert in Sci-Fi. -(ADINAH) That's right.
(WHISPERING) I'm not sure I believe him.
-(LAUGHTER) -I don't know either
so, I mean, it's gotta be Sci-Fi.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Yes! Sci-Fi! Let's do it!
(ROB) Time to find out who's gonna win tonight's $20,000.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Horror Movies is my category so, Sci-Fi, I felt good about it.
I plan to be his worst nightmare!
(TOM) Sci-Fi is my bread and butter. Adinah though,
she knows her horror movies, so that makes me nervous.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Welcome back to The Floor! Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tom...
It's exactly what I thought was gonna happen.
How are you feeling? This is--
-You've come out of nowhere! -Uh-hum.
What would you do if you waltz in here,
one round, waltz out with $20,000?
Oh my gosh, uh... well, I do live in Los Angeles
so that's probably like half of a rent for somewhere
-so, probably that. -You'd buy a grocery.
Yeah, one trip to Whole Foods.
(ROB) Yes, well, I think we should do it. For $20,000.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(LAUGHTER)
Now remember, you each have 45 seconds.
You are the challenger so you will go first.
The category is Sci-Fi. I'm going to show you an image
from an iconic science fiction movie or series
and you need to identify the name of the character. Ready?
-(CONTESTANTS GASP) -(ROB) Still feelin' good?
Oh yeah, no, I'm good. I'm goin' over characters in my head.
