Madding crowd Thursday at 03:23 AM Share Thursday at 03:23 AM It drives me crazy when people just stand there letting the seconds tick by. Did they forget it’s their turn? Tonight a person had to yell out play before the lady answered. The worst part is you automatically know they will lose because they can’t get the time back. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-8586176
Taeolas Thursday at 02:20 PM Share Thursday at 02:20 PM Nerves can often get people. That seems to often be the problem. Also they sometimes seem to legit forget it's their turn, either forgetting a "Pass" doesn't pass the turn, or just lost track of the pattern. And sometimes they get lost in their head; they recognize it but can't get the name out, so they burn more time chasing down the thread instead of just passing and moving on. Considering for many, this is their first time in the literal spotlight, nerves are obviously a huge factor, especially early in the season. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-8586374
MrAtoz Thursday at 04:10 PM Share Thursday at 04:10 PM There have been several times when people have obviously not realized that it was their turn. I guess with both people looking at the same picture, it's not always clear. Maybe they should have a light go on in front of the person whose turn it is, or something like that. To go back to another topic, I think "Black & White" proves that some of these categories are assigned to the contestants. First, who would choose that as the area of trivia they're good at? Second, even the guy who had that category didn't seem to have any idea what it would be about. That was mostly a pretty easy category, just identifying common things that are black and white. But then they threw in a couple of stills from old B&W TV shows. That almost seems like it belongs in a different category altogether. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-8586446
iMonrey Thursday at 05:29 PM Share Thursday at 05:29 PM Defending a category you inherited has got to be tough. From what I've read, they record two or three episodes per day. So if you just inherited a category, you may not have much of a break to study it. That seemed to be the case in the first duel with Brianna who inherited college basketball. (I would have sucked at that too.) It was also smart of Marc to challenge Kent after the latter had just inherited doomsday prep in the previous duel. Not that you'd really need to study that, it was a pretty easy category, but Kent lost it anyway. I kind of liked the "association" duel where they put up three words associated with an island. I wouldn't mind that being a semi-regular feature. Some of these categories are childishly simple, like sandwich ingredients. Except that Rob described them as things you would find between two pieces of bread. Two of them were bread! You wouldn't put a baguette between two pieces of bread. And then there's things like airport codes. I could have guessed a lot of them but it was hit or miss for the international ones. The only rapper I knew was Vanilla Ice and I might have had trouble remembering his name too. I knew more of the sports MVPs than I did the rappers but that's not saying much. And apparently the "expert" didn't know very many of them either. He lost his own category. 3 hours ago, Taeolas said: Also they sometimes seem to legit forget it's their turn, either forgetting a "Pass" doesn't pass the turn, or just lost track of the pattern. I'm terrified this would happen to me. Interesting that several of the contestants down on the floor were able to yell out to Laura that it was her turn. I wouldn't think that would be allowed. Hilariously, nobody did that when it happened to someone else later (I think Seth). Maybe they got a reprimand after the first time. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-8586505

Rickster Yest. at 04:30 AM Share Yest. at 04:30 AM I liked the concept of the island category, but there were some wonky answers allowed. Japan is not a single island. Pearl Harbor and Waikiki are on Oahu, not Hawaii. They shouldn’t allow the state of Hawaii as an answer if they’re then going to ask for Maui. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142485-the-floor-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-8587080

She wasn't brought up, but the couple from The Bachelor was, so I'm afraid Rob Lowe has been briefed on where TAR stands amongst reality shows. Unless I'm remembering wrong, that hardly looks like her. Maybe it's the lighting and /or the tan. Her face doesn't really look the same though.

She wasn't whiny she was telling her dad to catch up. If you saw season six it was WAY worse with Jonathan and Victoria. I presume TAR is a CBS show so why would they promote a competing network? 22 hours ago, gonzosgirrl said: Considering some of the answers they take, it was kind of garbage that they didn't accept "Hammer" for "Sledge Hammer". * watches the snacks duel from season 1 again * I'm pretty sure a sledgehammer doesn't have the triangle thing on the other side.

Sorry, I know mileage varies and all but she was universally loathed by a lot of the audience. I know in Primetimer's AR forum most of us were rooting for her to be eliminated.
