While another competitor asks Rodger: “That’s not staying in the edit, is it?”
The cheeky smirky on Rodger’s face tells us that moment probably will make it after all!

Rodger’s return announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans.
“Best show on TV!” one wrote.
Another called it ”unmissable viewing”, while a third said they’d “been waiting for this show to come back”.
How does ‘The Floor’ work?
The game is simple: each player begins with one tile on the floor, representing their subject of expertise. Their aim is to challenge and win their neighbours’ tiles and steal their area of The Floor.
Whoever wins the entire floor will rule all and claim the life-changing $200,000 prize.
What is ‘The Freeze’?
Speaking to nine.com.au, Rodger remained tight lipped about exactly how the new ‘Freeze’ feature would change the game.
Looks like we’re just going to have to wait and see!
