‘The Floor’ Season 5: See First Sneak Peek
The Floor returned for its fifth season on April 8 on Fox. The game show promised a “game-changing” twist that would change the way the game was played.
The Rob Lowe-hosted game show features 100 contestants standing in squares with their expert category attached to it. Picked by a randomizer, contestants then face off with a category of their choosing that is connected to them. Whoever conquers the whole floor by the end of the season wins $250,000.
Ashley Washburn won Season 4. She talked to us about the new twists that season affected her gameplay. Season 5 introduced the Territory Freeze, which was a big advantage for one player.
“The categories are tougher, and the competition is dialed up to 11,” host Rob Lowe said in the trailer. “As they battle for the biggest twist in our show’s history.”
Read on to find out everything we know, including how the new twist works.

Has The Floor been renewed for Season 5?
Currently in Season 5, The Floor has been renewed for two more seasons.
What is the new twist for Season 5?
The Territory Freeze is the new twist for this season. In the YouTube video, Lowe explained that whichever contestant wins the most duels by mid-season earns the freeze. They can only be chosen again when everyone has duelled at least once, which is almost a guaranteed spot in the finale.
“That means, halfway through the season, whoever has the most territory is safe,” he said. “No one can go after them.”
Who hosts Season 5?
Rob Lowe, who also co-executive produces the show, hosts the show.
Where can you watch The Floor?
The Floor typically airs on Wednesdays on Fox, but in the off-season, fans can watch past seasons and episodes on Hulu.

I'm guessing the producers hope that will keep people from "going back to the floor" after winning just one duel.

This sounds ridiculous. Territory freeze? Come on. The original format was great. No need to “spice” things up.

I don't like them having changes each year either. But that MAY have a purpose in making it harder for contestants to use past seasons to help strategize for the new season. (Or maybe it's another reason.)

Please put a lite or something up so they know it's their turn. Just a suggestion. Love the show.

It was a good show as it was. Why screw up a good thing? Of course if I don't like the new plan I will always change the channel and cancel the recording.

It takes too long to bring up the next picture after someone passes.

There’s a 3 second penalty for passing
