(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
I'm Rob Lowe and this is The Floor.
It's the season finale.
The battle for the Floor comes to an epic climax.
(ROB) Eighty-one players entered the arena...
(SCREAMS)
All roads have been leading to this.
..and battled it out in fierce duels.
An otoscope.
Centipede.
The Pointer Sisters.
Um... um... um...
At stake, a cool quarter of a million dollars.
(SHRIEKS)
Tonight...
Things are about to get real!
..seventeen finalists
duel each other to be the last player standing.
-Come at me. -I am the ultimate player.
It's time to play. Game on.
(CLAIRE) He thinks I'm a dumb blonde.
Little does he know, I know everything about geography.
Some are leading from the front...
(ROB) Matthew!
I'm just waitin' for them to come for me.
My name is Gene Magee and tonight, I'm gonna make history.
..others are hiding in plain sight until now.
This game is like (BEEP) chess, genuinely.
And you know what? I play chess.
I don't know how I made it this far, but here we go!
I am this close to $250,000!
And then, in the shadows, a stack of wild cards.
Some of you have never played.
I'm actually amazed that I haven't been chosen yet.
I can taste that $250,000.
Untried, untested rookies.
Could one of them steal the show and the money?
Who can come close to me? Nobody.
I want this money. The fact that I'm so close
makes me feel like I can go out and get it.
I scuba-dive with sharks. I got this.
It's winner-take-all with $250,000 on the line.
Let's get it on!
(HI-ENERGY MUSIC)
(ROB, HOLLERING) You have won $250,000!
This is The Floor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
This is it! The final night!
Are you guys ready to see
somebody win a quarter of a million dollars?
(LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Let's find out who it'll be! Players, take the Floor!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(JOANIE) Come on!
(HEIDI) Yeah!
(DYLLAN) What?!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
There are seventeen of you,
there were eighty-one!
Congratulations on making it this far on The Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Tonight...
we're giving away a quarter of a million dollars.
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(JOANIE) Yes. Yes.
(ROB) So, let that affect your strategy...
..as we begin tonight's battles.
Who's anxious out there?
(ROB) Everybody!
Alright, why don't we all take a moment
to look at the lay of the land.
(ROB) Gene, you have an enormous piece of territory,
but Matthew is our leader.
(ROB) Thirty-four pieces of territory!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
When we left you last time, you had a decision to make.
Yep.
(ROB) But first, let's review your categories.
(MATTHEW) Let's do it.
(ROB) We have One Hit Wonders,
International Foods, Hobbies,
Games, Fashion Icons,
Country Music, Movie Characters,
Best Picture Winners, TV Show Locations,
Snacks and Geography.
(ROB) If you go to One Hit Wonders,
you could take on Gene.
That would be a power move,
however, I feel 100 percent confident on Athletes.
And that is your original category.
It is. I'm stayin' here.
-You're stayin' on the Floor! -(MATTHEW) Yep.
(ROB) We are so close to the end now,
I have no doubt we will be seeing you again, very soon.
(ROB) Let's see who our next challenger will be.
Activate the Randomizer!
(ROB) Out of the seventeen that remain,
ten of you haven't played!
(ROB) That is about to change.
(ROB) It's startin' to get real, y'all.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Okay!
Hey, Jennifer.
-I knew it. -(ROB) You knew it!
I felt it, I felt it.
(ROB) You're gonna start things off for us tonight.
You wanna take a look and see what your options are?
-Yes! I would love to. -(ROB) Let's do it.
(ROB) You're standing between two big whales
with their ginormous amounts of territory.
(ROB) One Hit Wonders and Athletes.
(JENNIFER) It's a big choice. Um...
One of the games that my family plays all the time
is identifying songs and bands.
Gene, it is my time to take on One Hit Wonders.
-(ROB) Oh yeah! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) I'm so excited for this category.
One Hit Wonders, let's go!
Okay! Alright!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Honestly cannot believe I'm in the season finale.
And now, Jennifer just called me out to One Hit Wonders.
I don't think you know what you're in for.
I'm on the path for $250,000.
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -I got this. Woo!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I've been waiting in the wings.
But now, the Randomizer has picked me
and it is game on.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
Gene, Gene, the winnin' machine.
That's right, that's me.
From what she said out there on the Floor,
it sounds like she might know what she's talkin' about!
And I believe her.
Yeah, me too. What would you do with $250,000?
I'm coming up on my 20th anniversary with my husband.
We had a small honeymoon when we got married
and our family would really like to go to Japan one day.
(ROB) Fantastic. Well, there's only one way to get there,
you gotta survive this round.
I'm sad to say it, as we've all spent a long time together
here on The Floor, but one of you is going home.
Jennifer, you're the challenger, you go first.
The category: One Hit Wonders.
I'm gonna show you the title of a song
and you need to name the artist.
-Ready? -Ready.
-You ready? -Ready.
Let's duel!

Let's light up your Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) That is your 25th piece of territory!
Jennifer, I'm sorry but this is the end
and thank you for playing.
-Thank you. -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
You've inherited her expert category now of Games.
(GENE) Yes, Games.
It's time for you to decide, play or go back to the Floor?
-Here are your categories. -Okay.
(ROB) Hip-Hop, Hobbies,
Athletes, Fashion Icons,
Movie Characters, TV Show Locations,
'80s TV and US States.
Alright, all solid categories.
We just did One Hit Wonders, right? My brain is still...
(ROB) In that mode. (GENE) ..in the music mode.
So... Let's bring Hip-Hop to the table.
(ROB) Yeah! Come on up, Hip-Hop Tiffany!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You better walk! Come on!
I've been DJing for over 20 years.
Who can come close to me on this Floor
when it comes to Hip-Hop?
Nobody. I am the final boss.
So, watch out, guys.
Tiffany, I know you know Hip-Hop.
I want to challenge the best.
Because in order to be the best, you have to beat the best.
It was nice knowing you, Gene.
Tiffany, we got you out of the corner.
Thanks for getting me out of the corner, Gene.
(ROB) Nobody puts Tiffany in a corner.
Not for too long. I've been there for a while though.
(ROB) For sure. Alright, you know how it works.
Gene, you are the challenger. You'll be up first.
The category is Hip-Hop.
You're gonna see a photo
and you have to identify the artist by their stage name.
-You ready? -Ready.

-Good job. -(GENE) Well done.
-(ROB) Gene, you ran the table. -Ran the table.
And it wasn't even your category.
-It was not my category. -Light up the Floor.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
Tiffany, thank you. You did great.
-Thank you so much. -(ROB) Appreciate you, thanks.
(ROB) Alright. One by one...
..people are goin' home.
And one by one... everybody is closer
to a quarter of a million dollars.
To get there, you have to make the right decision.
Yes.
Are you gonna play or go back to the Floor?
We'll get your decision when we come back.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Welcome back to the season finale of The Floor.
Gene has won the first two duels and is getting closer
to that quarter of a million dollar grand prize
but it's decision time.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(ROB) Let's see your categories. You have Hobbies,
Athletes, Fashion Icons,
Movie Characters, TV Show Locations,
'80s TV and US States.
So, the '80s, '90s were my decade.
And as we know, '80s had the best TV.
Well I mean, it's just a fact of life.
So, I'm gonna stay
and I wanna take on '80s TV.
(ROB) Eighties TV, come on up!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Hug! You're gonna kill it.
(HEIDI) I am not intimidated by Gene at all.
I'm so close, I can taste that $250,000.
I just won my second duel.
Now I'm on a hot streak.
I want to make this three in a row. Let's do it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Heidi, welcome.
Thank you.
How did you come to pick '80s TV?
I was a child of the '80s
and I was home a lot 'cause I got in a lot of trouble.
-Me too! -(HEIDI) Yes.
You've been out there a long time waiting for this moment.
(QUIETLY) Yes. -There are 15 players left.
How does that make you feel?
This is incredible. I just keep looking at all that space
going so much closer to the money.
It could all be yours,
you just have to defend... the category you chose.
-(HEIDI) Yes. -(ROB) Let's get to it.
(ROB) The category is '80s TV.
We're gonna show you images and you need to answer
with the title of the show
for your chance to remain in the finale.
-Seems simple. Ready? -(GENE, QUIETLY) I guess.
You ready? Let's duel.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(ROB) You continue to dominate!
-Heidi, thank you. -Thank you.
(ROB) Appreciate you. Thank you so much.
Hey Floor, how you feelin'?
We're sayin' goodbye to people rapidly tonight.
Jacquelyn, you're way back there.
We haven't seen you up here in weeks.
-How're you doing? -(JACQUELYN) Great!
Sometimes you just gotta let the game come to you.
So, I'm waiting patiently for them to come to me.
(ROB) It could happen at any time.
-Alright, Gene. -(GENE) Yes.
You have a decision to make, play on or go back to the Floor?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Let's see the categories.
We have Hobbies, Athletes,
Fashion Icons, Movie Characters,
TV Show Locations, Olympic Events
and US States.
You've inherited games. You feel good about it?
(GENE) I feel good about games. I do feel good.
Mister Rob Lowe,
my name's Gene Magee and the place to be...
..is on the Floor. I'm goin' back.
I did not see that coming!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
-We'll see you soon. -See you soon.
Alright!
(TIM)
Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Did Gene make the right move in giving up control?
'Cause the door's now open
for another quarter of a million dollar contender.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Tim! (TIM) Rob!
(ROB) It is your time to shine.
-(ROB) How do you feel? -I feel good.
(TIM) You gotta wait for it to come to you.
(ROB) Yeah.
So, stay limber, ready to fight. Here we go.
(ROB) Alright, let's look at your categories.
(ROB) You have Games, Athletes,
Geography and Olympic Events.
Um... Olympic Events, you know,
one of those categories that has a finite number.
(ROB) Yeah.
Geography and History - always been things I love.
The two whales are safe in this round.
I think we're gonna go on Geography.
(ROB) At last! Claire, Geography, come on up.
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
This game is about what you know and what you don't know
and I know Geography.
It's time to play. Game on.
(CLAIRE) Tim is really confident in taking me out.
He thinks I'm a dumb blonde.
I'm a huge geography nerd.
My friends all call me "a walking encyclopedia".
Hopefully that pays off and I get 250k.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Welcome back to the season finale.
Tim is taking on Claire in her expert category, Geography.
(ROB) Claire, how's it going so far?
It has gone a very different way than I thought it was going to.
I also look forward to taking TV Show Locations, so...
-(LAUGHTER) -How do you feel about that?
There's a lot of smack being talked out there on the Floor.
(CHUCKLES) There is! The tone's gone from very, very friendly
to slightly less friendly, I'd say.
Yeah, well, you know, listen... Great group of competitors,
I'd be happy to see anybody win. Much happier to see myself win.
-(LAUGHTER) -We'll see where that goes.
-This is her expert category. -(TIM) It is.
So you better buckle up. Tim, you're the challenger.
You're gonna go first. The category is Geography.
You're gonna see a country highlighted on a map.
-And you must name it. -(TIM) Very good.
(ROB) Ready? Ready? (CLAIRE) Ready.
Let's begin the duel.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
Mexico.
Brazil.
South Africa.

Hmm...
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)

-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(QUIETLY) I would have crushed her.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
-Great game. -(TIM) Nice one.
I would have crushed. I knew every single one of them.
Claire, you gave us a heart attack.
-Let's light up your Floor. -(WHOOPS AND CHEERS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(ROB) Tim, thank you so much.
Pleasure to be here. Thank you.
(ROB) Appreciate you. Thank you. (TIM) Nice job.
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(CLAIRE) Whoa!
(ROB) A win is a win.
It is. I'll take it.
And you've inherited TV Show Locations.
(ROB) Are you gonna play, or go back to the Floor?
Let's see your categories.
(ROB) Games, Athletes,
and Olympic Events.
And we're down to 13 players.
Oh, man.
Olympic Events, I love that category.
Games is wonderful, too.
I'm not as confident in Athletes. Um, so...
I'm gonna stay on my little bitty piece of real estate.
I'm going back to the Floor.
-Alright, good luck. -Thank you.
(ROB) And that means one of you is coming up.
Let's activate the Randomizer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Six untried contestants.
Which one of you will be next?
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Yeah, Riley. How you doing?
(RILEY) I'm doing good. (ROB) How's the heart rate?
-(RILEY) It's been better. -(LAUGHTER)
(ROB) Let's look at your categories.
Country Music and Snacks.
(RILEY) Out of both these options...
I was born and raised in Utah, so I am a little bit country.
-Okay. -(RILEY) I don't know, though.
It's a strategy to go Country Music and over to Athletes...
Or kinda hide here in the corner, you know?
I think I'll go with Snacks.
-(ROB) Snacks, come on up! -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(TUCKER) A snack for Snacks?
I think I've got a really good chance of winning that money.
I've eaten a lot of snacks in my day, so, Kaylee, it is!
(KAYLEE) Riley challenged me in my inherited category of Snacks.
I came ready, I came prepared,
and I'm feeling pretty good about this one.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Welcome back to the season finale.
Riley is about to duel with Kaylee
in her inherited category of Snacks.
It's good to see you again, Kaylee. How you doin'?
I'm doin' great.
You came in with Candy, and now you have Snacks.
They seem kind of in the same family,
so you're probably feeling good.
Mmm...
(ROB) Ooh! This is no time to lose your confidence.
Oh, no, I'm not losing my confidence.
-I'm just centering myself. -(ROB) Okay, I like that.
Riley, an actual rocket scientist?!
Yeah, I guess so. If you build satellites and rockets,
that's what it classifies you as.
(LAUGHTER)
(ROB) I noticed you're trying to kinda stay quiet over here.
Yeah, I think luck took me this far.
I was kinda hoping to stay in that little spot till the end,
but, you know, here we are now, so...
(ROB) Alright, you know how this works.
Riley, you're going to play first.
You are the challenger, and the category is Snacks.
I'm going to show you images.
You need to correctly identify them by their common names,
whether it's generic or a brand.
(RILEY) Okay. (ROB) Let's duel.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)

(ROB) Riley!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) You just won your first duel.
Light up the Floor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) Kaylee? Good try. See you later.
Good job, Kaylee.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Alright. It's time for the big decision.
Are you gonna play or go back to the Floor?
(ROB) Let's look at your options.
You have Athletes,
Country Music, and Best Picture Winners.
So, you could go back to the Floor
with your expert category of Plants or stay on the offensive.
We're only 11 duels away from somebody winning $250,000,
so think carefully.
I mean, it's not rocket science...
(LAUGHTER)
But I planted some good roots over there.
I think I want to hang out in the corner
and play a little strategy.
(ROB) Alright, you're back to the Floor.
-Thanks so much, Rob. -We'll see if it pays off.
(RILEY) Thanks.
(ROB) Alright!
It's very clear what all of your strategy is tonight.
"Don't pick me! Don't pick me! I wanna get out on the Floor!"
(LAUGHTER)
(ROB) We'll see how it works out for you.
But one of you is coming up here,
whether you like it or not. Activate the Randomizer!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ROB) One more shot with the Randomizer.
Who will be next?
(ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(SQUEALS WITH DELIGHT)
(ROB) The Pink Panther!
Tucker, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling GREAT!
(TUCKER WHOOPING)
Wanna see your categories?
Yes, sir.
(ROB) Alright. Games... (TUCKER CHUCKLES)
(ROB) ..Athletes, and Movie Characters.
(TUCKER) Hmm... (ROB) Two whales... and Dyllan.
(TUCKER LAUGHS) Sorry Dyllan.
Movie Characters are okay. They're okay.
Games... I am the ultimate player.
-(LAUGHTER) -(ROB) I believe it.
Now, Athletes, I really only date them.
(LAUGHTER)
(TUCKER) So...
..I'm gonna go with Games.
(ROB) Games! Oh, boy. Let's go!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You have to win this.
Let's do it.
I'm so competitive. I never lose.
I do trivia. I do competitions.
I came to the Floor to win the money and that's it.
Point blank period. $250,000? Take me to the Floor, I'm there.
(GENE) Not only do I know how to play, I know how to win.
Alright, this is the moment I've been waiting for
since the very first episode.
C'mere. I gotta check this out. I mean...
(TUCKER) Mm-hmm. (ROB) ..could I pull it off?
Absolutely. In fact, WHEN I win the money...
-(ROB) Yeah? -..I'm going to use the money
to create my own line of pink suits.
-I'll be your first customer. -Would you?
This color would look great on you!
(ROB) That is so good. (TUCKER) Thank you.
You need to know that Gene does not miss.
(ROB) He doesn't miss. (GENE) I don't miss.
(ROB) It's unbelievable.
Well, I didn't want to win against someone
-who wasn't competition. -(AUDIENCE GASPS)
(QUIETLY)
(ROB) Well, let's get it going. Mr. Pink Panther...
(LAUGHTER)
..you're the challenger and you're up first.
The category is Games.
You're going to see some images.
You have to name the popular board, tabletop, or party game.
-(ROB) Ready? -Yes.
(ROB) You ready? (GENE) Yes.
Let the duel begin.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(QUIETLY)
(WHISPERING)
Monopoly.

-Uh, next... Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Twister.
-Pass. -(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Sorry?
Oh, it's unfair! He froze... He froze.
(ROB) Wow! Tucker, speaking of "sorry"
that was a long pause.
It's a lot harder than it looks! It is.
You did a great job. Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -We're gonna miss you.
-Thank you. -(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Let's light up your Floor. (GENE) Let's do it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)
(ROB) Twenty-eight pieces of territory.
Gene, you have a big decision.
Do you stay and fight for the 250
or do you go back to the Floor
with your inherited category of Fashion Icons?
We'll find out... when we come back.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
-(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) -(ROB) And we're back.
Gene is on a roll, and we have ten duels left.
You have a big decision to make: Stay or go back to the Floor?
Let's check out your categories.
Hobbies, Athletes, Movie Characters,
TV Show Locations, Olympic Events,
and US States.
And you've inherited Fashion Icons!
(GENE) Fashion Icons.
This is... Ah, it's okay.
-(HI-PITCHED VOICE) I like it! -Orange you glad I wore this?
-(LAUGHTER) -Thank you.
(GENE) So, with that said...
my strongest suit, of course, is pop culture.
We'll narrow it down to TV and movies.
So, Mr. Rob Lowe,
I'm going to stay and play...
..Movie Characters.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ROB) Dyllan, your time has come.
Movie Characters, come on up.
(LINDSEY)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DYLLAN) If anyone's gonna take me out, it's Gene.
I'm an anxious mess right now.
Gene is the person I was probably most scared of,
and here he is, coming at me.
Oh, boy!
(DYLLAN) Gene... (GENE) Dyllan.
-(ROB) Dyllan! -Rob.
(ROB) Good to meet you. How are you feeling
about defending your category?
You know, it's an exciting category.
I've studied movies.
I was a cinema minor, but it is an infinite category.
Over 100 years of cinema, dozens of characters per movie.
-Could be literally anyone. -(ROB) Yes.
Didn't expect to be challenged! Thought I would get Randomized.
(ROB) You've watched this guy?! (DYLLAN) Uh-huh!
Can anybody derail Gene?
Let's hope so, Rob!
Let's find out right now.
You're gonna have 45 seconds on the clock.

Yes, I do.
Are you gonna play or go back to the Floor?

you're defending Fashion Icons.

Who are you gonna call up to duel?
(GENE) That is an excellent question.
Strategy is a big part of this game.
It's chess, not checkers. We know this.
(GENE) So, thinking of the long game, not the next move,
but the move after...

(CLAIRE) I'm very intimidated.
Gene has been mastering the Floor.
I'm a Geography nerd.
I don't know anything about TV Show Locations.
I might be toast.
(ROB) Welcome back, Claire.
-I missed you. -Ah, thank you so much.
(ROB) And now, you've inherited
the category of TV Show Locations.
(SIGHING) Yes.
(ROB) How do you feel?
You don't show your cards until you absolutely have to.
I'm giving him the "Claire Glare".
I don't want you to know how I feel about it.
(ROB) The "Claire Glare"! (GENE) "Claire Glare".
-It's catchy. -That's a thing, right?
-It is now. -(ROB) It is now.
(ROB) Okay, Gene, you're the challenger.
You get to go first - the category is TV Show Locations.
You're going to be seeing the name of an iconic location,
and you have to tell us the title of the series.
-(ROB) You ready? -Yes, sir.
