\n\t\t\t\t\tAn orchestrator and composer has taken out the $200,000 top prize in Nine quiz show.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
33-year-old London based orchestrator and composer Alex Palmer has won The Floor\u2018s $200,000 grand prize.<\/p>\n
With his expert category \u201cSounds of Music\u201d, he defeated competitors in \u201cEnglish Premier League\u201d, \u201cOz Rock\u201d and \u201cRed Carpet\u201d to take out the Nine quiz series.<\/p>\n
He plans to use the prize money for an IVF and surrogacy journey he and his husband Brett are undertaking to start a family.<\/p>\n
Alex said: \u201cIt was surreal to see my time on The Floor play out on TV. The experience was emotional, powerful and genuinely life-changing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI made some of what are now my closest friends from my neighbouring tiles, and their support was a huge part of why I made it to the end. There were so many moments when I thought my time was over, so it\u2019s exhilarating to have my friends and family follow along.\u201d<\/p>\n
Host Rodger Corser said: \u201cWhat an amazing grand finale and what a formidable, worthy winner we have in Alex. It proves nice guys really can finish first! Alex took us on a total rollercoaster, blending underdog grit with sharp strategy \u2013 and perhaps a little bluffing for good measure. There wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the house when he was crowned champion; knowing that $200,000 is going toward IVF and surrogacy to help him start a family is just incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n
