Welcome to "Travel Dares."
[27]
Last season, I traveled all around the US
[30]
with my friend Joe.
[31]
This season, I'm taking two new friends
[33]
all across Europe to explore more exciting activities.
[37]
On today's episode, we're here in northern France
[39]
with my friend Aj.
[41]
Bonjour, Aj!
[42]
Aj: Bonjour.
[43]
Caroline: How excited are you?
[44]
Aj: I'm so excited, Caroline.
[45]
Caroline: All right, here is your clue.
[47]
Aj: All right.
[52]
Oh, my gosh, I don't know if I'm ready
[53]
for this one, Caroline.
[54]
Caroline: Aj, you're gonna have great time. Let's go.
[59]
Aj loves unique activities that are filled with adrenaline,
[62]
and this is one of the only places in the world
[65]
where you can learn how to escape quicksand.
[68]
Before we get to your dare, you have to take off your shoes.
[72]
Aj: Now I think that sink is, like, a literal
[74]
I'm going to sink.
[75]
Caroline: Slow steps, don't worry, don't worry.
[78]
Aj: What is this, what am I standing on? All right.
[81]
Caroline: Aj, take off your blindfold.
[83]
Aj: OK.
[84]
Caroline: We're at Mont Saint-Michel,
[86]
and we're gonna learn how to escape quicksand.
[89]
Aj: Oh, my gosh. What?
[92]
Caroline: Yes, yes.
[93]
Aj: Oh, my gosh, look at that.
[102]
Stephane Gueno: So, I am your guide for today,
[104]
and I will show the quicksand and the way to get out.
[107]
Aj: All right, let's do it.
[108]
Caroline: Perfect. Let's go. Stephane: Yeah.
[120]
Caroline: I think we're getting really close.
[121]
Aj: Oh, I think we're here.
[123]
Stephane: OK, so we stop here, and we jump,
[127]
and I will show you how to get out.
[128]
Aj: OK.
[129]
Stephan: OK, and then you can try.
[130]
Aj: All right, I'm ready.
[131]
Stephan: All right, close together,
[134]
jump like this, left or right.
[136]
(thudding)
[137]
More, more.
[138]
Caroline: Oh, my God, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh.
[141]
Aj, you looked scared.
[144]
Aj: This is really cool.
[145]
Stephan: Be on the side now.
[146]
Caroline: OK, bye.
[147]
Aj: Bye.
[148]
Stephan: I'm going down.
[149]
Caroline: Oh, no. Be careful.
[150]
Stephan: It's, all the water is going out.
[153]
And then you have only the sand around your legs.
[156]
And then it's like a concrete.
[158]
I try to take off, I can't.
[161]
Caroline: You're stuck.
[162]
Aj: Very stuck.
[163]
Stephan: OK. So, how.
[165]
You have to move your legs like this.
[167]
Aj: OK.
[168]
Stephan: Twist, twist.
[170]
Caroline: Twist in a circular motion.
[175]
Stephan: Almost.
[176]
Caroline: You're free! Aj: He's out!
[177]
And he's out! And he's free!
[180]
Stephan: It's your turn.
[181]
Aj: Oh, I'm gonna crush Caroline in this sand,
[184]
quicksand competition. I am so ready for this.
[187]
I'm really excited, actually. I cannot wait.
[190]
Caroline: We'll see about that.
[191]
Aj: Oh, yes. Oh yes we will.
[193]
Caroline: It's my turn. I'm going down.
[194]
Stephan: OK, so let's go to jump.
[196]
All right. Together.
[198]
Aj: Oh, it's almost ready for you! That's it!
[201]
Caroline: Ooh.
[203]
Stephan: We can help her to go down like this.
[205]
Aj: Like this?
[206]
Stephan: Yeah. Aj: All right.
[207]
Caroline: Oh, it's, my legs are stuck,
[210]
oh, my gosh, I'm freaking out.
[213]
I'm stuck.
[214]
OK, start the timer.
[221]
Stephane: And then on your knee.
[223]
Yes, the opposite way. (laughing)
[226]
We lost her.
[228]
Caroline: You lost me?
[229]
Uh-oh, I'm going down.
[232]
(laughing)
[234]
Please tell me what to do.
[237]
Stephane: OK, give me your hand.
[239]
And twist your legs behind, twist, twist.
[242]
(laughing)
[245]
Aj: Yes!
[248]
You're free!
[254]
Caroline: My legs, my legs, my legs!
[257]
What's the time?
[259]
Timekeeper: One minute, four seconds.
[259]
Caroline: OK. One minute, four seconds.
[261]
Stephane: Let's go to jump.
[263]
Caroline: I'm gonna hop on this!
[265]
Stephan: It's stronger, this one.
[266]
Aj: Oh, this is stronger?
[268]
Stephane: Yeah.
[268]
Aj: Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.
[271]
Start the timer.
[273]
All right, all right.
[275]
Caroline: You got this, Aj.
[277]
Aj: This leg's almost out.
[279]
Caroline: Please!
[279]
Aj: Ha ha, ha ha!
[281]
Caroline: Your leg is out!
[286]
Stephan: Yeah, not bad.
[287]
Caroline: You can do it, you can do it.
[295]
Yay, that was awesome!
[298]
Aj: What was my time?
[299]
Timekeeper: 40 seconds.
[300]
Caroline and Aj: 40 seconds.
[301]
Caroline: Oh, my God. Aj: I knew it.
[302]
Caroline: Aj, how did you feel when you were in there?
[304]
Aj: It was a very surreal feeling,
[306]
like I couldn't move anything.
[308]
But then when you start twisting,
[309]
it really, like, starts loosening up.
[311]
Stephan: Are you ready to go back?
[312]
Caroline: Yeah. Aj: We're ready.
[312]
Stephan: OK, let's go.
[315]
Caroline: All right, Aj, what did you think of that?
[318]
Aj: Caroline, I think that's gonna go down
[319]
as one of the best experiences I've ever had.
[321]
It was so much fun.
[322]
Caroline: Yes! I knew you'd like it.
[324]
Aj: Are you ready for you clue?
[325]
Caroline: I'm so ready. I'm so ready. OK.
[330]
OK, I wonder what that means. I have no idea.
[333]
Aj: I do have a surprise. It's right through there.
[336]
Caroline: Through here, seriously?
[338]
OK, no, yeah, totally, let's go.
[340]
Aj: Now, I'm a bit of a food expert,
[342]
and La M猫re Poulard is known
[344]
for making the world's fluffiest omelet.
[346]
Making the perfect omelet is extremely difficult,
[349]
and I'm excited to see if Caroline is up to the task.
[358]
All right, perfect, hold out your hand.
[361]
Just hold it out. There you go.
[363]
Turn it around, be very careful.
[365]
Caroline: What is it?
[366]
Aj: Be very careful.
[366]
Caroline: I'm careful. I'm careful, I'm careful.
[369]
It feels so weird. Aj: OK.
[370]
Take off your blindfold.
[374]
We're learning how to make the world's fluffiest omelet.
[376]
Caroline: Oh, my god.
[378]
Wait, this is not what I was expecting at all.
[382]
Aj: You're gonna love this.
[383]
Caroline: It smells so good, it smells so good.
[385]
This is an egg.
[394]
Aj: So, first, Franc is gonna show us how it's made,
[397]
and then me and you are gonna have a little competition
[399]
and see who can make the better omelet.
[401]
Caroline: OK, I'm gonna win this one.
[403]
I think I'm a pretty good chef.
[405]
Aj: I don't know about that.
[407]
Caroline: Oh, I've never seen anyone whisk eggs like that.
[410]
Aj: I know.
[411]
Caroline: There's a technique to this.
[412]
Aj: Yeah.
[413]
Caroline: It's not how we whisk eggs.
[414]
Aj: Yeah, I do a circle.
[415]
It's, like, back and forth. Caroline: I do circles.
[416]
Aj: Look how bubbly it is.
[417]
Like, it gets fluffy inside the bowl.
[419]
Caroline: Yeah, I think that's the key.
[421]
It's like, the harder you whip, the bubbly it is.
[430]
Aj: Kind of push off, OK.
[433]
Caroline: It's so fluffy.
[434]
Aj: Half, look at it go.
[436]
Oh, look at that!
[440]
Look at that!
[441]
Caroline: That's really fluffy.
[442]
Aj: Oh, my gosh.
[443]
Caroline: That's so fluffy.
[444]
Aj: It's super fluffy.
[445]
Caroline: Can I try?
[448]
Wait, I'm not left-handed, that's why.
[453]
That's so bad, wait.
[454]
Yes, but I'm whisking it, no?
[457]
Aj: You gotta give it a push.
[460]
Caroline: OK. All right. Aj: All right.
[463]
And then scoop, like, half of it out.
[465]
Caroline: Uh-oh, that's not it.
[467]
Aj: There it...almost!
[468]
Caroline: I ruined it!
[471]
Aj: On this part, there you go.
[472]
Caroline: I'm so sorry.
[474]
(laughing)
[480]
I'm so sorry, pardon my ugly omelet.
[485]
Aj: It has personality.
[486]
Caroline: I'm sorry, it's like me.
[488]
You know what, that's my omelet.
[490]
That's mine, let's see what you can do, Aj.
[492]
Let's see your omelet. Aj: All right, I am ready.
[495]
Oh, oh!
[496]
Caroline: Oh, oh, oh!
[497]
Aj: Don't wanna spill it!
[498]
Push, push.
[500]
Caroline: He's really good.
[502]
Aj: Push.
[504]
Caroline: I think you've got this, Aj.
[506]
Aj: OK, so I'm gonna come here and take this thing.
[512]
About half.
[515]
Caroline: Do a little flip.
[516]
Aj: Oh, look at that.
[519]
Caroline: I'm impressed, I'm impressed.
[521]
Aj: I did it!
[522]
Look at this!
[525]
Caroline: This is my sad, you're a pro.
[526]
You've definitely done this before.
[528]
You mastered the presentation.
[530]
Mine just looks like a giant peanut.
[532]
Aj: Yeah, I think I did all right on the flip.
[534]
Caroline: Yeah, no, but you know what,
[536]
it's all about the taste.
[537]
Aj: It is.
[538]
Caroline: So, bon app茅tit.
[539]
Aj: Bon app茅tit.
[543]
Caroline: Oh, my God, it's like chewing on a cloud.
[547]
Aj: It really is.
[547]
Caroline: Oh, wow.
[549]
That's probably the yummiest dare we're ever gonna do.
[552]
OK, ready to go back to Paris?
[554]
Aj: Oui oui.
[561]
Caroline: We had such an amazing time
[562]
in Mont Saint-Michel, and now we're back in Paris,
[564]
and it's literally so gorgeous here.
[566]
Aj: I know. Everywhere you look,
[567]
there's just this beautiful French architecture.
[570]
But somehow this hotel captures the essence of New York.
[574]
Caroline: Hmm. I think you're right.
[576]
Time for the rating.
[578]
OK. I'm just gonna go right into it.
[581]
So, when you first took off the blindfold,
[583]
I really thought this was gonna be the dare
[585]
that you were gonna be super nervous about.
[587]
But it was the total opposite,
[589]
you were so excited, and you also had the fastest time,
[593]
which I was not expecting.
[595]
I don't know, I just have to give you a five.
[596]
I can't give you anything else.
[598]
Aj: Crushing the dares, I love it.
[600]
Caroline: Crushing the dares, yep.
[602]
Aj: All right. So, for your rating, Caroline,
[605]
I actually knew you were gonna be
[606]
really excited for your dare,
[608]
you jumped right in the kitchen, you were excited to learn,
[611]
you were dancing along to the beat.
[613]
You were having a great time.
[614]
But, at the end of the day,
[617]
your flip was kind of a flop.
[620]
So, unfortunately, I gotta give you
[623]
a three out of five stars.
[626]
Caroline: Oh, Aj.
[629]
It's OK, I'll take it.
[631]
The omelets were still really good.
[633]
And I had a great time.
[634]
It's probably one of my favorite things I've ever done.
[636]
Aj: Yeah, and you'll get 'em next time.
[638]
Caroline: All right, let's take a bite of this
[640]
and go on to our next adventure.
