Fox: 8p/7c
Fox One: Next day
Host: Rob Lowe

This season on The Floor, two people from every state in the US will take to the Floor in the last-one-standing battle for $250,000. But there's also a twist. Hidden somewhere on the Floor is a Category Steal.

CATEGORY STEAL: Whoever finds the Category Steal can steal another player's field of expertise.

One thing to say after that... FLOOR... ACTIVATE THE RANDOMIZER!

DUEL #1: CHARLIE (25; Texas; drift driving instructor - WILD WEST) has a choice among Geometry, Simpsons characters, Mammals, and Fried foods. HE goes with... RICK (59; Wisconsin, director of marketing - FRIED FOODS). As a reminder, each player has 45 seconds to identify what's on the screen. A correct answer stops your clock. A wrong answer or a pass keeps it moving, but a pass will cost you three seconds. The player who runs out of time first loses and must leave the Floor. The winner then takes his square.
- WINNER: RICK, who inherits WILD WEST.

Rick can continue playing, with the knowledge that the most space by the end of the night gets a bonus AND that three consecutive battle wins can give him a time boost, adding a bonus 5 seconds. Rick decides... to go back to the Floor.

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER....

DUEL #2: ELIZABETH (36; VErmont, special educator - SITCOM FAMILIES), who can choose Formal Wear, Pet Supplies, Food Holidays, and Stamps. She picks... MARCIA (35; Georgia; flight attendant - PET SUPPLIES).
- WINNER: MARCIA, who inherits SITCOM FAMILIES.

A couple of familiar faces on The Floor this season are Bo Bice ("American Idol") and Jonny Fairplay ("Survivor").

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER...

DUEL #3: LAUREN (60; Minnesota; housewife - SANDRA BULLOCK FILMS), whose choices are Holiday Foods, Arcade, Sitcom Families, and Formal Wear. She plays FRANK (67; Utah; retired forklift operator - FORMAL WEAR).
- WINNER: FRANK, who inherits SANDRA BULLOCK FILMS.

Frank decides to keep playing with his choices of Holiday Foods, Mattel Toys, Arcade, Hall of Famers, and Sitcom Families.

DUEL #4: FRANK vs. JUSTIN (25; Utah; data analyst - HALL OF FAMERS).
- WINNER: JUSTIN

Justin now has three turfs and the category Sandra Bullock Films. He can keep playing for a big lead or return to the Floor. He returns.

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER....

DUEL #4: JACKIE (62; Georgia; retired clerk - SUPER FOODS), who can pick Box Office FLops, US Stadiums, Impressions, and Villains. She picks .. DEMETRICE (29; Alabama; nurse - VILLAINS).
- WINNER: DEMETRICE, who inherits SUPER FOODS. He decides to play it safe and return to the Floor. Justin still has the lead.

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER...

DUEL #5: RICKY (28; dentist; Alaska - GREAT OUTDOORS), who can choose from Famous Criminals, Famous Couples, Deli, and Witchcraft. He goes with... CIBELLE (29; New York; communications specialist - FAVORITE COUPLES).
- WINNER: CIBELLE, who inherits GREAT OUTDOORS. She returns to the Floor.

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER...

DUEL #6: LUKE (public defender; New Mexico - ON-SCREEN JUDGES). His choices... SAndra Bullock Films, Hary Poter, Scents, and Mattel Toys. He calls out Justin for his territory and the lead for the $40,000 bonus at the end of the show (SANDRA BULLOCK FILMS).
- WINNER: LUKE, who keeps his category and moves into the lead.

Will Luke challenge again? Nope. He's returning to the Floor with his $40,000.

ACTIVATING RANDOMIZER...

DUEL #7: JONNY FAIRPLAY (51; Oregon; podcaster) picks KWAME (38; Arizona; judicial assistant - STAMPS).
- WINNER: JONNY! He will make a decision to play on or return to the Floor... NEXT TIME.

Fox’s new challenge series has only one rule… Don’t come in last.

Each of the 100 players will partake in 50 challenges throughout the season. All they have to do is not come in last.

CHALLENGE #1: Find a lei inside 1000 balloons.
- LAST: Janice (New York City, real estate broker)

CHALLENGE #2: Melt a block of ice using only your body heat. Once you’ve managed to free a whistle, blow it to complete the challenge. You are NOT allowed to smash the ice.
- LAST: Tammy (Texas)

CHALLENGE #3: Given three items, decide if the weight of each item falls in between three different ranges. If you are right, you complete the challenge. If at the end of three items you do not complete the challenge, you must guess the weight of the combined items. The furthest away will be eliminated.
- LAST: Darline (Florida, student)

CHALLENGE #4: While holding a strand of spaghetti in your mouth, thread six pieces of penne onto the spaghetti without using your hands.
- LAST: Phil B (father from NY whose son Tommy is still alive)

With 96 players remaining…

CHALLENGE #5: In teams of 12, you will have to pass water through a bucket brigade using head-mounted buckets. Transfer the water into a container until you can retrieve a ball inside. The last team of 12 to accomplish this will be eliminated.
- LAST: A team of 12 including Sandra Diaz-Twine (Fayetteville, NC; Survivor legend).

With that, we’re left with 84 players in the hunt for the $1 million prize.

A new adventure begins with Survivor 49, and we start with ...

MAROONING CHALLENGE: Cube Bert-Sea. Two tribesmen will race into the jungle for crates. Two more will retrieve a boat full of crates from the ocean. The last two will assemble the crates to make a cube, which one will climb to ring a bell. The winning tribe will get flint, a pot, and a machete. The others will send one tribesman to complete another challenge to earn their supplies.
- WINNERS: HINA

Uli sends Rizo to join Kele's Alex in...

REWARD CHALLENGE: Fight for Supples. EAch player must find 10 coconuts with their tribe color. They will then open the coconuts to obtain puzzle pieces, which they have to put together to reveal a map with the location of a ship's wheel. Dig around that location to find it. Then put the ship's wheel on the ship and raise a flag. First to do so wins a pot, machete, and flint.
- WINNER: ULI

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: Baby Snakes. RAce out in pairs through an obstacle course into the jungle, where you'll retrieve a giant snake. Once all three snakes have been retrieved, the tribes will search the snakes for a ball. Then place teh ball on a snake-shaped table maze and maneuver it to the end of the maze. First two tribes will win immunity AND a toolkit.
- WINNERS: HINA (1st), ULI (2nd)

Jake has his eyes set on a weak player... maybe Nicole, because Annie would be stronger in future challenge. Also Nicole had a reversal of fortune in the middle of camp. Annie came to Sophi with a plan to go after Alex. Sophi went to the men with Annie's plan, which unnerves Alex because he thought he had a final two deal with Anni.

TRIBAL COUNCIL #1: Everyone talks about roles, but it gets awkward when Jake is asked what role Nicole had... "She works hard and gives it her best". Earlier, Nicole was sort of pressed into playing her Shot in the Dark. She... did not.
- Annie: NICOLE
- Nicole: ANNIE
- Alex: NICOLE
- Jake: NICOLE
- Sophi: NICOLE
That's four. That's enough. By a vote of 5-1, Nicole... THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.

Last night, 10 acts gave it their all one more time. One of them will be crowned 2025's AGT champion. With that comes $1 million and a headlining show in Las Vegas.

The finalists join Eric Lloyd to sing "Happy Birthday" to America's Got Talent for its 20th anniversary.

Now we have special encores...
- Micah Palace performs with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo, singing "Mirame Ahora (Salud Mi Reina)".

CONGRATULATIONS TO JESSICA SANCHEZ, THIS YEAR'S AMERICA'S GOT TALENT CHAMPION!

"America's Got Talent" will return Summer 2026.

THE STORY SO FAR! After the Double Eviction, Ava & Ashley work on reestablishing an alliance. The MasterMind puts forth a torturous trial that ends with Vince being the new HOH and nominating Ava & Keanu for eviction.

Keanu knows that he has to win out if he wants to win the game.

FINAL VETO COMPETITION: MasterPieces. The MasterMind has shrunken down the BB House and put together a puzzle to solve, using a set of tweezers. Fastest time wins.
- WINNER: Morgan Pope

Keanu pretty much knows he’s cooked, so he tries to convince Vince to keep him around in exchange for a jury vote.

After the Houseguests get messages from home, Vince notices that his girlfriend did not appear, prompting him to evaluate his relationship with Morgan.

VETO CEREMONY/LIVE EVICTION: Morgan elects not to use the Power of Veto, so we go into an eviction, and due to the lack of bodies, it must be unanimous. Otherwise, HOH Vince will cast the deciding vote.
- Morgan: KEANU
- Ashley: KEANU
EVICTED: Keanu Soto

Tomorrow night, one of the Final Four will join him.

Last week, Sydney & Yeremi survived a cyclone, sending CT & Michaela to the Arena, where CT shut out Derek in a round of Pole Wrestle.

During the teaser for this season of The Challenge, TJ can be spotted saying something along the lines of “If there’s one thing I hate more than a quitter… It’s a cheater.” Pay attention, this is relevant.

CHALLENGE: Broken Dreams. This is a special challenge worth 1.5 times the usual Performance Points, consisting of a “mini-final” up a six-mile trail with five checkpoints.
- 1) Memorize symbols on rocks along the trail and match the symbols to numbers on a board, then try to solve a math equation with the numbers.
- 2) Use the answer from the previous checkpoint to unlock a lockbox containing a plate of raw onion, garlic, ginger & chili pepper which must be consumed.
- 3) Solve a puzzle power by rotating a stack of pieces until they all line up.
- 4) Hang sections of chain together to form ten chains of equal length.
- 5) Solve a riddle and collect letters from half a mile away, one at a time, to spell out the answer.

The results… as several players complain that veggies are being tossed like yesterday’s compost…
- WINNER: Turbo (37) & Sydney (44)
LAST PLACE: Gabe (14.5) & Jonna (2.5)

HOWEVER!

“One thing you know about me is that I can’t stand quitters. Well, the one thing I hate more than quitters are cheaters. And there was a lot of cheating going on. There’s massive amounts of evidence. Does anyone want to confess?”

TJ informs us that several contestants were cheating by discarding food at checkpoint #2. As a result, the Challenge was annulled and the Performance Points were not awarded.

The teams were however reset.
- Michaela/Cedric
- Yeremi/Aviv
- Olivia/Will
- Sydney/Turbo
- Aneesa/Jake
- Adrienne/Theo
- Justin/Nany
- Leo/Ashley
- CT/Tay
- America/Leroy
- Dee/Derrick
- Gabe/Jonna

ROUND 1: We go to wives, husbands, drive-thru customers, fast-food lovers, women over 50, and men over 50. Tiffany & Misha sweep the round for 750.

ROUND 2: Next up, bowlers, bowling alley employees, employees, and managers. Tiffany & Misha lead, 1250-500.

FAST FLIPS: Hilda & Amy come back to win, 3250-3050.

FLIP FIVE: We asked ADULTS IN THEIR 30s… Your 30s are all about… making money, friends getting married, covering up gray hairs, grunting when you squat, fearing your 40s, bye-bye starter marriage, acting like your parents, buying a house, picking favorite stove burner, or saying goodbye to last call?
- Buying a house… RIGHT!
- Covering up grey hairs… Strike one.
- Making money… RIGHT!
- Friends getting married… RIGHT!
- Acting like your parents… RIGHT!
- Bye-bye starter marriage… Strike two.
- LAST PICK: Fearing your 40s…. WINNER!

We’re down to the final four players in our DDD tournament! Who will walk away with the trophy and the $30,000 prize?

GAME 1: An updated diner classic… but KEEP IT SAMPLE with ingredients from “roadside stands” manned by today’s judges… and Hunter.
- Aaron May: coconuts
- Aarti Sequeira: strawberries
- Catherine McCord: pineapple
- Hunter Fieri: apples

DISHES:
- Eric: Trout Almondine with Pineapple Coconut Water Crema
- Bobby: “Thai” Chop Suey with Pineapple & Carrot
- Richard: Hawaiian Steak & Eggs with Pineapple & Apple Hoisin Sauce
- Hallock: Tuna Melt with Black Bean Cake & Pineapple Strawberry Pico de Gallo
ELIMINATED: Hallock

- Richard: Chengdu Lamb with Garlic, Chiles & Jasmine Chicken Tallow Rice
- Eric: Shrimp Veracruz Stew with Fresh Masa Dumplings

And the winner of the $30,000 DDD Legends title…. Congratulations…. BOBBY!

When we last left our Insiders, Dwight, Sketch, and Zach have bought “Expose the Insider” cards, prompting revelations of conversations and purchases from The Store, including Sketch buying wine & chips, Aisha going after Fannita for “having a loud mouth”, and Fannita spending $50,000 to get back in the game.

Bre & Fannita pull Sydney aside and tell her they disliked her hanging out with the boys more. Sydney think it’s unfair of the girls to start painting a guys vs. girls narrative. Meanwhile, the guys want to target someone from the girls’ group. Sketch went to the girls to suggest targeting “any dude”. Now he’s the target of everyone.

… oh yeah, how much is left in the prize pot?
- PRIZE POT: $694,600.

Mark is then handed a task by the Sidemen – spend exactly $20,000 at the Store within 30 minutes without getting caught. If he succeeds, he will not be charged for the items. He was able to spend $10,000… before getting caught by Sketch & Dwight.
- FAIL: -$20,000

CHALLENGE: Lights Out. Each contestant will have their eyes & ears covered. Each round, one Insider will be selected to remove their blindfold & headset. The selected Insider must now pick another contestant to eliminate by pressing the red button next to them. The selected Insider will return to their seat, and when they remove their covers, a red light will reveal the chosen Insider. That Insider must then try to figure out who has turned on their red light in order to remain in the game.
- Ekin-Su: Alissa… Wrong.
- Bre: Aisha… CORRECT

Alissa and Bre are in the elimination round… but who’ll go outside from Inside?

TO BE CONTINUED…

Four episodes of “Inside: USA” are now available on Netflix. Another recap follows tomorrow.

A win today will put Steven in strong contention for the TOC…

JEOPARDY! ROUND: A Phrase in history, Country Music, 4-Letter Homophones, Street Smarts, Fellas in Novellas, Stews of the World

Steven starts with $800 A Phrase in History, where he finds the Daily Double one clue north under $600. He fronts the max value of the board on this…
- $1000 A PHRASE IN HISTORY: Conquistador Cortés told the Aztecs, “We Spaniards suffer from a disease of the heart that only” this substance “can cure”.
“What is gold?” RIGHT for $1800! He ends the round with $6800 to $5600 for Natalie. Jaedon on $2200 will get first pick in…

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Geographic Name Game, “V”ocabulary, Films Out of History, On the Silk Road, Marine Biology, Do You Like Photography?

- $4000 “V”OCABULARY: Used for heart conditions & high blood pressure, it’s any medication designed to widen the blood vessels.
“What are vasodilators?” That would be right… but he went with vascular to drop to $10,000. He rallies to come back with $17,200. With Natalie on $8000 to $6400 for Jaedon, it’s the champ’s game to lose.

FINAL JEOPARDY!
- THE 21st CENTURY: A 2011 email said, “On September 17, we want to see 20,000 people…set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and” these 3 words.
