The Floor (Spanish game show)

The Floor is a Spanish game show based on the international franchise of the same name. The show aired from 6 September to 25 October 2023 on Antena 3, and from 23 April 2025 on La 1. It was presented on Antena 3 by Manel Fuentes and on La 1 by Chenoa.

History

In April 2023, Atresmedia reached an agreement with Talpa for the rights to make an adaptation of The Floor, a game show that had achieved a 22.4% audience share in the Netherlands. Manel Fuentes was announced as presenter.[1]

The Floor debuted on Antena 3 at 22:45 on 4 September 2023, in the first week of the new television season.[2] The show had 1.432 million viewers and a 16.9% audience share, nearly twice the audience of any other programme on at the same time, and only beaten by the preceding El Hormiguero for prime-time shows that night.[3] It ended its eight-episode first season on 25 October with 1.136 million viewers and 13.9% of the audience, again leading in its timeslot, a feat that it only failed to achieve for its seventh episode.[4]

In September 2024, the board of RTVE approved the production of a new series of The Floor, through the company Satisfaction Iberia.[5] Two months later, singer Chenoa was announced as the new presenter.[6] The show returned on 23 April 2025 with 1.063 million viewers and 12.9% of the audience, beating its former channel by 0.4 percentage points to be the most watched show in prime time.[7] On 18 June, the eight-episode season ended with a record 1.195 million viewers and 14% of the audience; as before, the show led in prime time for all but one episode of its season.[8]

Format

One hundred contestants start the series on a square divided into one hundred squares. Each contestant starts with a specialist subject. A contestant is chosen to challenge a neighbour on the latter's specialist subject, via a duel of naming examples of that subject from photographs. The winner takes the loser's square as their own territory, and the loser is eliminated.[2]

The game lasts over the entire broadcast season as contestants are eliminated in each episode. The winner of the entire game wins €100,000.[2]
