1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: Tonight seven point thirty on Channel nine, The Floor premierees,

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: you'd have to have been living under a rock to

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: have not seen the ads and have wondered what the

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: heck is going on here? So to find out exactly

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: what is going on here, Roger course, the host is

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: joining us.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. Are you saying you're sick of

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: my faith already? No, no, I'm not.

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: I could never get sick of your face.

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: But there has been a few complain about the network

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: backing this show. What true?

12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: My question is what the heck is going on?

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: Well, look, it's trivia. When you boil it down. We

14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: all have a bit of pub trivia. We all have

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: been down the pub and how to be that. Look,

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: I think the day it's a one on one battle.

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: The winner stays around, the loser goes home. And then

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: we start with eighty one and everyone's got their own

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: square and their own category of expertise, and you go

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: head to head in the category, and if you win,

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: you take the loser square. Loser goes home, and you

22
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: start to accumulate territory on the floor. So you start

23
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: at one block and the end of going two, we

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: went three and four at the end of every night,

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: whoever's got the most bit of territory wins ten grand

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: and then ultimately in the end, you know, someone will

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: take over all the squares in the floor and they

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: will be given two hundred powerful.

29
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: So you want a bit of real estate on the floor?

30
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Odd number eighty one, Roger, what's going on there?

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Nine by nine?

32
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Cool?

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: It was easy.

34
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: So this started in the Netherlands only two years ago

35
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: and it's just got gangbusters around the world, picked up

36
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: in fifteen different countries. As you say, it's just it's

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: our love of trivia. It's a game we can play

38
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: along with.

39
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, we all like, you know, reality shows

40
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: are big. We get to know, you know, big personalities

41
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: on reality show and we've sort of got that element

42
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: as well, because i mean when we walk in eighty one,

43
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: contestants go to the eighty one squares, but the winner

44
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: walks in, you know, the winner walks in. You know,

45
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: we don't know who that person is yet. But as

46
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: we go along, we get to see these people come

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: back up to battle in another trivia duel and we

48
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: get to know them more. We get to talk to

49
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: them where they're from. So you start to get your favorites,

50
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: and by episode three or four you get to know

51
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: these people and if your favorites, you'll be barracking for them.

52
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: So it's a bit different to your normal game show

53
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: where someone may hang around for one or two episodes,

54
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: and that's kind of it. You know, we've got nine

55
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: episodes and by the last episode where we have our

56
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: sort of final sort of eight or nine contestants, you

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: know these people very well and we've all got our

58
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 2: fingers crossed for one of our favorites to win.

59
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: Roger, do you find some people are very very confident,

60
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: very cocky before they get in front of the cameras

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: and under the lights, and then they get there three.

62
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think we've all seen it. It's totally different

63
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: when you're in a TV studio or studio to be

64
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: able to bring it. I mean, one of the you

65
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: could be very knowledgeable at your category. But the thing

66
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: about our game is if you don't know something, because

67
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: it's all image base, and if you don't know something

68
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: passed really quickly and then get the next image because

69
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: it's a ticking clock that goes down to zero. Now,

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: if you m a r trying to be perfected and

71
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: get everything right, you might make fifteen seconds you see

72
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: where the smart players go. Don't know that passed back

73
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: and they're quite good at the game. So there's a

74
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: lot of strategy because it's when to know when to

75
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: hold them, no, when to fold them, and when to

76
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: go back to the floor so you can keep playing

77
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: or if you're on high flaw see.

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: You fun fact.

79
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: Robb Loow hosts the US version, so you're in some

80
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty fun company there.

81
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes really well over in the States. There.

82
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: We've got some similar producers to work on our show

83
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: to his show, and they're currently shooting the fifth season.

84
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: So in two years they've gone quickly. They premiered directly

85
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: after the Super Bowl.

86
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: Their later season, Oh wow, robs on that one took.

87
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's going really well in all the different

88
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: sort of territories of the world. So we're hoping for

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: similar success here. Fingers crossed.

90
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: Mate, can never question your work if it because you

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,640

92
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000
