The Floor Australia: 81 Contestants Battle for $200,000!
Get ready for a trivia showdown like no other! The Floor Australia, hosted by the charismatic Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor, Underbelly), premieres tonight, Monday, April 28, 2025, at 7:30 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now. This isn't your average trivia night; 81 contestants will compete for a life-changing $200,000 grand prize.
A High-Stakes Trivia Competition
Imagine a giant LED floor, 81 contestants, and timed duels based on specialized trivia categories. That’s The Floor. Contestants, ranging from teachers and nurses to tradies and entrepreneurs, will bring their unique expertise to the battle. Familiar faces like Jules Robinson from Married At First Sight add an extra layer of excitement.
More Than Just Trivia
This isn't simply about knowing facts; it's a strategic game of wits and risk-taking. Contestants win their neighbours' tiles, expanding their territory on the floor. The person with the most territory at the end wins the $200,000! But that's not all, an additional $80,000 ($10,000 per episode) is awarded to the top player each night. Rodger Corser, himself a trivia enthusiast (he even hosted pub trivia years ago!), notes that good general knowledge is key to success but strategy plays a pivotal role too.
Rodger Corser's "Dream Come True"
For Rodger Corser, hosting The Floor is a career milestone. He candidly shares in recent interviews how he previously hesitated to pursue game show hosting, fearing it might overshadow his acting career. Now, he's thrilled to be a part of this global phenomenon, which originated in the Netherlands and has already captivated audiences in the US and many other countries. He describes the experience as exhilarating, noting the scale of the production (filmed in a massive Amsterdam studio!) and the dynamic energy of the contestants.
