iMonrey March 15 Share March 15 On 3/13/2025 at 1:10 PM, GameJayAnalysis said: The show didn't drag this time in my eyes, but the contestants need to stop yelling(I am more a fan of the silent reactions on the floor where they make funny faces) but now they are just yelling for more screentime. In season 1 and 2 they didn't yell as much and when someone passed it felt more serious. I don't recall any yelling, except for the time they prompted that lady it was her turn. But that's not my objection. My objection are these little exchanges between randos on the floor right before the duel starts: "She's got this." "She's been studying, she knows this category." "This is going to be a tough one." WTF? First of all how the hell do these people even know any of the other contestants and why on earth would we care what they think about the matchup? Imagine any other gameshow cutting to a couple of audience members going "Oh, I hope so-and-so wins" "I think so-and-so has this in the bag!" 4 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/7/#findComment-8607922

According to one of the contestants, there is a great deal of discussion and strategizing among the contestants during the down time between filming episodes. I’m not that interested in the chit chat either, but I guess the producers think it adds something to the duels. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/7/#findComment-8608153
Lantern7 March 15 Share March 15 (edited) "Real Housewives" is a nightmare category for me. I do not give a shit about the franchise. I like Robot Chicken, but this bit didn't nudge me either way. BTW, Parallax parallel FTW. Brian is going home with at least $100K. I think that might be the most he's made for a few days' work. I'm not hating . . . I'm impressed. Also, Archie Comics is doing a project featuring a crossover with Jay & Silent Bob, and I'm betting that Dante will be in there.

GameJayAnalysis March 20 Share March 20 Finally! The left side of the floor has taken matters into their own hands and decided that they should overtake brian. If you can't beat the 20k club, join the 20k club. I thought Sifat and stephanie's strategies were good, because inheritance is horrible. Inheritance eventually takes you out. You fill find something that is not defendable. From here on out. the two sides of the floor will fight for 20k. No more easy wins. Thank god. And no longer will the randomizer be a factor(cough * episode 3 * cough *), I think. No hate on Brian, I'm just glad the other side of the floor came to their senses and didn't pass up the chance to even up the game. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/7/#findComment-8612077
gonzosgirrl March 20 Share March 20 So the woman who had the Crayon Colors category said (paraphrasing) she thought she had it down, but didn't realize there were 120 colors now. So I guess that confirms they are given categories to choose from, rather than coming in with one? (If that's been confirmed previously, my apologies.) I generally don't like to see one contestant dominate a game, but it is hard not to root for Brian. He's done well defending his inherited categories and genuinely thrilled and grateful for the position he's found himself in.

Brian is no longer earning money at the end of each game, but he's already gotten a 6-figure sum, so I don't suppose he's too upset.
