The new quiz show “The Floor” starts on Sat.1 on Thursday.
Theresa Sedlmeier from Schongau is also a candidate.
Schongau – When a quiz is on TV, Theresa Sedlmeier likes to sit on the couch and puzzle along.
When she last watched the “1% Quiz” on Sat.1, she spontaneously decided to apply.
“Why not experience a TV production up close,” she says and laughs.
Even if some people around her initially shook their heads in amazement at this project.
When the new show “The Floor” flickers across the screens from Thursday, the woman from Schongau will also be seen.
She was rejected for the “1% Quizz”, but at the same time the new quiz show was suggested to her, she says.
Preparation and filming were all the more exciting because no one knew exactly what to expect.
“I was super excited,” said Sedlmeier.
Above all, the whole thing was a lot of fun.
This is how the new quiz show “The Floor” works
The studio floor (Floor means ground in German) is divided into 100 fields.
There is a candidate on each one, explains Sedlmeier.
A field is selected at random and the person selected has to “duel” with one of their neighbors.
As many questions on a subject area as possible must be answered within 45 seconds.
The winner takes over the field of the losing player until there is only one left.

Each field has a category that initially corresponds to an area of interest of the candidate.
For example, Theresa Sedlmeier was assigned the “Musical Instruments” category.
Anyone who challenged them had to answer questions from this area.
Theresa Sedlmeier takes part in the TV show - musician and agricultural helper
Theresa Sedlmeier actually studied music.
When she was unable to carry out her job as she had hoped during the pandemic, she started an apprenticeship in a completely different area instead: she attended home economics school and is now employed at Maschinenring Oberland as an agricultural assistant, she says.
Even though she grew up with a farm in the immediate vicinity, “I never thought I would work in this area,” says the 26-year-old with a laugh.
But it is a very nice job.
If help is needed on a farm, for example because a farmer is sick, Sedlmeier steps in.
And she still remained true to the music.
As a member of the Blonhofen music band and conductor of the Hofstetten music club near Landsberg.
She mainly plays the oboe and clarinet when she is not conducting - and she can also play a few other instruments.
She therefore did not prepare much for this area - even more so for the categories in the immediate vicinity of her field, which she learned about three weeks before the start of production.
“I wrote out a lot, three to four pages each, and tried to memorize as much as possible.” The topics are wide-ranging.
Sometimes it's about fruit, sometimes it's about flags, sometimes it's about influencers.
You therefore also had to think strategically about who to challenge.

Theresa Sedlmeier wants to watch the show in the media library
The six episodes were filmed over four days in the Netherlands.
Moderator Mathias Opdenhövel was exactly as you know him from TV.
Sedlmeier reveals that he talked to the candidates in a very approachable and friendly manner even outside of filming.
She stayed in touch with the other candidates via a WhatsApp group.
“We are already thinking about whether we can go on other quiz shows together,” says Sedlmeier and laughs.
She will have to look up the first “The Floor” broadcast in the Joyn Medithek.
There is a music rehearsal on Thursday evening.
But afterwards she will watch the show “completely relaxed”.
And puzzle along in front of the TV again.
Even if she can well imagine returning to a TV studio at some point.
“If you have the opportunity, you should take it,” she says.
The Floor
will be broadcast on Sat.1 from February 29th, every Thursday at 8:15 p.m.
The six episodes can also be seen gradually on the Internet at “Joyn”.
