Man over woord

Man over woord (2011-2012)

EndedScripted showComedy

In Man over woord, Pieter Embrechts does not look for the rules, but for the beauty and secrets of our language. Why do the West-Flemish have such a hard time with the difference between g and h? How many words does a person know and where do we get them? In these busy, busy times, do we also talk faster than in the past, and do Limburgers really speak slower than the other Flemish people? In his quest, Pieter meets ordinary people and top experts, and he discovers the craziest things. That the most difficult sentence you can make in Dutch only counts three words. That Ghent really is as unique as Ghent's thinking. What an unlikely world trip some words made before they ended up in our language.

The Floor

The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.

The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
