The Floor (2024– )
6/10
Interesting concept but highly flawed

I enjoyed watching the show because it is actually quite fun trying to answer the options that are presented. There is a lot of strategy involved as well as a lot of chance. The biggest problem with the show is that people who stand there doing nothing can make it to the end and win. There were so many contestants that were incredible and really deserved to be competing for the jackpot. Ultimately, the flaw really takes away from the show. I say this because I just finished watching the last episode and it completely changed my impression of the entire game. I originally loved the concept, but the way it concluded was wholly unsatisfying.

A big change I would recommend is for any contestant who wins a quarter of the floor becomes automatically protected so they can compete at the end. They could easily reshuffle the floor to accommodate this adjustment. The finale would be made up of the top four contestants, then get to battle it out for the final prize. That would make it so much more interesting as the remaining players are more likely the most effective players who then compete against each other.

It's really unsatisfying to have someone who stands there most of the game win against someone who has had tons of success but is likely experiencing elevated stress from constant play. It's just not a fair result.
