On Lava Ka Dhaava, there are just three simple rules!
Get to the exit any way you can!
Come on, dude, you got this!
Come on!
-Yes! -Yes.
Everything in the room is in play.
Come on. Here goes nothing, man.
Amazing! You're the best!
Adjust your weight!
Don't…
No!
…fall…
Rule number three is really the kicker.
Every player that gets across is worth one point.
The team with the most points wins 10,000 dollars,
and this very attractive 29-dollar lighting fixture.
Presented by me, Rutledge Wood.
This time, three teams will attempt to cross the hottest room in the house.
It's a wild beast of a boudoir determined to knock you out!
As soon as you enter, you'll see numerous paths to get to the exit.
The first option requires a good grip
to swing on the drapery to the landing wall.
From there, you can leap over the furniture to reach the vanity.
If your team is enlightened to lower the chandelier,
you'll find a way to the exit.
Or you can book passage on another route. Been to an amusement park in a while?
Take a leap onto the rapidly rotating bed.
If your timing is off, those bedposts will send you spinning.
If you make it to the mattress,
the central location can lead you in any direction.
Assuming you can avoid vertigo,
reach the fireplace to spot a suspicious rope.
What does it do? You'll have to pull it to find out!
Or you can criss-cross the lava-slick furniture
to get to the exit door,
and that's just the beginning of the ways you can tackle this room!
But whatever path you choose,
your team needs to hurry because the stairs at the exit are sinking
and each submerging step makes leaping much harder.
Our first team is three friends who play tennis.
Joezen, Alec, and Ian.
We've known each other for ten years.
We've played tennis and have been at each others' homes.
We've known each others' families. We're just good friends who play tennis.
And we're going to win here too.
Fame and fortune will follow.
We're going to make a good team because we've played together on a tennis court.
We know how to play doubles and communicate,
and then Ian's actually an NCAA champion in gymnastics.
He won on the vault and floor exercises, so he's definitely the strongest.
We're going to look to you to make sure that you get us past that finish line
because if we win 10,000 dollars, we all want to go on a trip to Wimbledon.
We are pumped to win this, right?
-This is crazier than we thought. -Yes, this is really crazy.
-That's a lot of lava. -It is a lot of lava!
Seventy-eight hundred cubic feet to be exact!
-Welcome! I'm Jaaved Jaaferi. -Hi, hello!
The rules are simple.
Get from the entrance door to the exit door.
Each person who makes it across is worth one point.
Go quickly because the stairs at the exit door descend,
making the incredibly challenging final jump incredibly challenging-er!
Final rule. Don't fall because the floor is…
-Lava! -Lava!
-Oh, no! -No!
-Guys, it's like the bed in The Exorcist! -Yes.
Spinning at 20 revolutions per minute, it's like a possessed mattress.
-I don't think we should go on that. -That's slippery.
Whoa!
-You go first. -Where?
I think maybe you can take that curtain?
Come on, you're going to try it out.
Yes, got it.
-Yes, I got it! -You got this, Ian!
-Just swing. -You can do it, man!
-I don't think it does. Are you sure? -Good! That's it! My guy!
Ian has stuck the landing! I give it a 9,1!
Now, is there a way you can put that back?
No, it doesn't go back.
That's right, Ian. This curtain's a one-way ride!
Alec and Joezen will have to go to the spinning bed to get across.
-Come on, Alec! You just have to time it! -Make a nice, big leap!
-All right, good! -Nice!
Alec has made the bed! But the more time he spends here, the dizzier he'll get.
-I don't know, I… -You've got to get over there…
…and figure something out, right, Alec?
-All right! No. -This is crazy! That looks hard!
Oh, sh…
-Alec is struggling on that rotating bed. -Joezen, are you coming?
You got this, Alec.
Oh, wait.
-You got this! -Yes! Alec lands in bounds on the ottoman!
-You're going for the bed? -All right. Okay. Got it.
-Grab one of the sides. -All right! Calm down!
-You got this! Come on! Go! Jump! -Ready? Go! Get it! There you go!
This is making me dizzy.
Oh, no. Joezen's already suffering from the spins.
-I need room to go there. -Which way?
Ian's setting up
-for the seven-foot jump to the ottoman. -Can you help if I jump?
What is he doing?
Yes. Go!
A mighty leap for the gymnastics champion!
-You want me to step on this? -You think we should do that?
-Hold my hand! -You have to jump onto the dresser! Yes!
-Down goes the mirror! -Whoa!
I don't know where it gets us though.
Extending the vanity makes it easy to step on the chandelier,
assuming it's been lowered,
but the tennis trio will have to figure this out on their own.
Joezen, you have to go…
Get down on the ledge, then we'll figure it out.
Got it.
-Scary! -It's right to be scared.
He's already been spun round and round 13 times, he's got to be woozy now.
He's got to be woozy now.
-Oh, good. -Here we go! Come on!
-That was good! You got it. -Come on, Joezen!
Joezen, fixated on the path to the rope,
not even considering the move to the chaise longue.
-You got it! Come on, you got this! -Come on, you got it!
-Go! -This could be a tactical error.
-Whoa! No! -The lava has indeed injured his back.
-That was hot! -But he makes it across!
Nice, man.
Joezen shows a nice extension on his lunge to the trunk,
but he gets blasted by a huge eruption right in his midsection
which is something we could watch over and over.
Oh, I love this game.
Move that way and we're going to have to figure this out.
-You might have to come back. -Yes, no. There's no…
Alec and Ian try to figure out where to go next.
Until the chandelier is lowered, the vanity is a dead end.
And they've got to hurry. Those stairs are sinking into the lava!
Go.
All right, Alec's on the bed for the second time
and he doesn't look any happier this time around.
Okay, you're going there?
Ian, directing traffic, goes for a high five, and is left hanging!
Oh, but Alec made it onto the side table!
Jump to the rock, face forward, and land against the wall!
Joezen's collecting himself.
It's five feet to that rock and it's a very uneven landing area.
-There you go. -All right! Very good.
Now he's got to clear a path to the rope if he can get across that fireplace.
Now go, so I can get off this thing!
Alec, stretching out onto the trunk, makes it across unscathed!
Oh, this is tough! I'm going to see what this does!
Joezen's arching for the rope! Joezen did it! Down goes the chandelier!
-Whoa! -I'm going back this way!
Ian heads back to the vanity, towards the chandelier.
I'm going to have to somehow get over there.
Both Alec and Joezen are on the fireplace.
They need to start working their way to the exit door.
Ian jumping onto the chandelier.
This fireplace!
Alec and Joezen are facing a six-foot leap onto a very slick trunk.
Go, Joezen!
Oh, no! Joezen got served!
Alec, not hesitating,
reaching out with his foot…
Oh, no! And they're Wimble-done!
Joezen made a perfect jump, but with all his momentum,
his feet just slipped.
Then Alec overcompensated by not stepping out far enough.
Now that's a foot fault!
And with that,
the best the tennis trio can do is hope to get one point.
I'm stuck here.
Of course, Ian has to make it to the exit door.
But now the final step is down!
He almost got to the table, but instead,
his foot dangerously grazed the lava.
Shoot! It's hard!
I did it!
That's a lot of work!
It is a lot of work, but Ian's work isn't over.
He still has three gaps to cross.
Ian's onto the circular table. Well-played.
Oh, sh…
And now Ian's going for the painting of me!
It's a smart move from the Stanford grad.
He can use the painting to get onto the trunk,
-a great way to bridge that gap. -I'm stressed out.
Oh, no. It just gets worse.
It does get worse because the exit door's stairs
have sunk underneath the lava.
All right. I don't know if I can do this.
Just one challenge remains but without the stairs,
this is now a very long jump.
Can the former gymnastics champion make this six-foot leap?
-I made it! Woo! -He's done it!
I feel good now! This is now solved!
There was a lot to love about this run.
And it was advantage, Tennis Trio when Joezen lowered the chandelier,
but the slickness of the lava took its toll when Joezen slipped
coming out of the fireplace, followed almost immediately by Alec,
a real double fault!
But at least Ian aced the course.
We could probably book tickets to Wimbledon.
We can do that right now, right?
-We can charge it! -Get the point.
Let's get that. Let's get that going.
I'm not sure I'd buy those tickets just yet, guys.
The Tennis Trio is indeed in first place, but they only have one point
and there are two more teams yet to play.
Our second team is three teachers from Northern California.
Say hello to Ray, Lyndsey, and Rabi.
Ray and I are the coolest teachers on campus.
Everyone wants to be in our class.
Prof. Lyndsey on the other hand is a little stricter, so…
They get a little nervous when they see her name on the schedule.
Sorry. But we're being real, so…
Stakes are high.
We're nervous because between us, 500 kids are there…
who could roast us hardcore and will never let us forget it.
And we're all just going to have to live through it.
I'm a lone wolf in life. I'm independent. You know, I rely on myself.
Teachers! Don't touch the floor because the floor is…
-…lava! -…lava!
What? What a…
That's crazy.
The teachers take notes as they realize this is harder than your average pop quiz!
-I don't like that. -Step on that.
Yes, try it out.
-On there? -Yes.
-There. Are you good? Okay. -Got it.
-Let's try to get you on there. -Listen. You want me to try there?
Lyndsey's trying to solve her first problem, the spinning bed.
And she's on!
Lyndsey's students may be scared of her but she's clearly not scared of anything!
-Do I just hold on to this? -Just go. You got this.
-Oh, this is… -All right, here we go.
Ray's a bit more tentative.
-But he made it! -Whoa! I'm good!
In a side-by-side comparison, you can see Ian's gymnastics background
coming into play as well as his grasp of fabric.
Lyndsey's going round and round.
Each rotation will make her dizzier.
Lyndsey makes the three-foot leap to the ottoman.
Amazing! She may be promoted to vice-principal after this!
Rabi, the lone wolf, preparing to go on the hunt.
Stalking down the spinning bed.
Careful!
-Can you get to that chair? -I'm going to try.
Then on that?
And then, see if this is movable, that you could, like, knock it down?
Rabi, you can go here. I think you'll make it. I got you.
-I think I'm going to try that. -Should we?
Try it? All right.
-I'm going to get to the next step. -Just go. Just be safe.
And remember, the stairs go away.
-Oh, shoot, that's so far. -It's actually a four-foot jump
onto a very slick landing area.
I'm going to need somebody to hold my hand.
You think you can do it?
That's what's up. Okay, let's go.
Screw that. I don't need dinner. Kick that off.
Look how Lyndsey knocked those plates over.
Forget the kids. I'm scared of her!
-You know what? -Oh, whoa! Watch out!
Down goes the mirror!
You need to try that rope!
Ray's right. If Rabi can get to the rope,
he could lower the chandelier,
making his teammates' crossing much easier.
But it's precarious. It's not par for the course.
And he risks falling like Joezen and Alec both did.
-Should we try it? -All right!
Rabi is looking for a way
off that spinning bed.
Rabi gets blasted by lava
in exactly the same part of the room where Joezen got drenched.
Oh, I'm a simple man. I love watching this kind of stuff.
If loving this is wrong,
I don't want to be right.
Guys, I could go that way or I could try to make this leap and boom, because that…
Do you think you could make it to that? I think you can get right there, Rabi.
Rabi's not liking what he sees as he eyes that rock.
But tennis player Joezen made it to the rope.
Will Rabi do the same?
Oh, you're good! You're safe!
Is Rabi going lone wolf? He jumped away from the rope!
Look at the height Rabi gets.
He leaped so far, he almost skipped a grade.
Rabi's not a lone wolf. He's a kangaroo.
-Well, you've got to get over there! -I have to do it.
Ray's confronting his own vanity.
-How do you feel? -I'm scared of heights.
That chair is under two feet tall.
I did not expect a fear of heights to come into play.
All right, I'm good! How the heck is that going to happen?
I think we might have to go that way.
Hey, Rabi, can you jump that way and get that…
Pull that thing?
Rabi chose a different path to get to the rope than Joezen used.
There are a thousand different ways to get across this room.
There's no one right way.
Although, as Joezen discovered, there are some wrong ways.
You got it!
Use that ledge, yes!
-Hey, so that's what's up! -All right!
Now, Ray and Lyndsey both have a much more direct path to the chest by the exit,
but they need to hurry because the first step is gone.
That final jump will only get harder.
-Or Rabi's nighttime job. -Okay.
Now do it. You have to go. Time is of the essence. You're good.
Oh, the rare simultaneous jump.
Rabi to the chaise longue, Ray vaya con mirror to the chandelier.
-Hold up, let me swing. -Get your momentum.
Ray is struggling to get the chandelier moving.
Rabi is contemplating his next move. A five-foot jump to that circular table.
Oh, my! The lone wolf almost joined the great wolf pack in the sky!
-Hey, okay! -He better hurry.
That last step is almost gone!
Dude, how do people do this?
And the lone wolf has made it across all alone!
And with a crossing time of 4 minutes, 49 seconds!
Rabi made it faster than the Tennis Trio.
The Teachers have moved into first place,
but one point isn't much and there's another team to come.
Push it.
Hey, you're going to have to take a leap of faith, man.
Ray's reaching out. He's got his foot on the box. I like it.
Use one of your legs to push it back to her.
-Oh, I couldn't! -Ray is unable to return the favor.
-Grab the pole! -But Lyndsey doesn't need help.
-She's on the chandelier! -That's it! Great!
You're there, so I can't move. You have to go over there.
Ray, that's slippery. Right when you land, boom…
Just try to squat. Stretch Armstrong it.
Stretch Armstrong, man.
-Too short. You have to slide. -Take a step?
Yes.
I'm just going to do it!
Circular table is covered in slick lava. Too much momentum will lead to disaster.
Ray got it! And now, Lyndsey has a place to aim for.
Chill. All right, don't let the lava scare you. Remember.
Her swinging momentum has dissipated. This could be trouble.
-Oh, no! My science partner! -No! Lyndsey!
Oh, no! It was trouble!
Lyndsey, a science teacher, proves that gravity works
as she plummets head-first onto the table and into the lava.
There you have it, kids. Physics in action.
With Lyndsey out, the best that the Teachers can hope for are two points.
Hey. There's no stairs.
-I'm going to catch you. -Okay, sure.
I think you can make it.
-YOLO, you have to YOLO it. -Yes. YOLO!
-Oh, man! I'm scared! -You can't blame Ray for being scared.
That's a five-foot jump to a very slippery trunk.
-YOLO indeed! -Let's go! Jump!
-Keep your ass up as high as you can. -Yes.
All right, don't let the lava scare you, okay?
You're a marine biologist, whatever you are.
Come on, you're not scared of this.
Ray has done it!
-Let's go! -Put your pencils down, this exam is over!
Let's go!
Overall, the teachers get good grades for their effort.
Lone Wolf Rabi led the pack in record time.
Lyndsey couldn't swing a passing grade, and Ray might've been on the slow track,
but he still graduated from the course.
I don't know if I can show up to school the next day if we fail.
I am scared to death.
Not just the 500 eighth-graders but the entire school is watching this,
so, two of us finished.
I think we have a shot at this.
And with that Magna Cum Lava performance,
the Teachers are at the head of the class with two points,
but there's one team left to go.
Our last competitors are three old-school dads
whose kids play together on the same little league team.
Meet Scott, Andy, and Mike.
We know each other because we've spent the past four, five years together.
All of our kids play baseball together.
And we all live within a block of each other. We go to church together.
Three, four times a year, we'll do Spartan races,
kill ourselves up at Big Bear Mountain
and then in the off season, once every three weeks or so,
-I'll manicure Scott's beard. -Yes.
People give us grief for being dads.
They say, "Oh, you're old!" "You've got a dad bod."
-Look at this dad bod. -Yes, definitely.
We're vintage, we're old school.
That's just how we operate. Baseball, Chevrolet, and apple pie.
That's the American way. We have some good plans for our winnings.
I got this 1972 Winnebago.
The most ridiculous RV you've ever seen. It's awesome.
But I'm going to be fixing that up a little bit. Maybe a paint job.
-Maybe like a flame job on the side. -On the side.
Yes. Oh, yes.
-Go for it. -You're our leader.
And it's batter up for Andy as he leads the way.
-Be careful! -Nice job, big Papa.
I'm going to eat it.
-This first jump is a doozy! -I need some encouragement, I guess.
Go right over there. Come on, Andy. You got it, just jump.
-I'm nervous! I don't want to do it, Mom! -You can do it.
-There you go! That's it, baby. -All right, good.
Andy shouldn't celebrate too early. Getting off the bed
is much harder than getting onto it.
Well, this is miserable.
It has to stop sooner or later, right? Oh, shoot.
-Oh, dude. It's all good. -Hey, take your time!
-There's lava! -Take your time, Andy!
It has to stop sooner or later.
-No chatting. -It's a zip line.
-Let's do it. -Those might fall.
Mike is trying to find the right grip on the curtain.
I'm nervous, dude. This is tough.
You got it. Just one time over.
-There you go, Mike. Yes, Mike! -I'm good.
-Mike's got it! -I'm good.
Jump, Andy!
Andy's still spinning.
That has to be wreaking havoc on his balance.
Oh, a swing and a miss!
You lay on that sucker.
-You got it. Andy! -Oh, what a landing!
-Right? Scott, you have to make a move. -Scott's moving cautiously.
Remember, if they can get all three players across,
they'll win outright.
-Hey, you got it. Take your time! -Andy.
-What should I do? -I think you should go on that thing.
I think you should go on that! Tip it over.
Scott's sending some signals to Andy.
He wants him to make a move to the vanity.
-You can do it. Just jump! -You got it, you can do it.
Andy's using a long first baseman stretch and he's on!
Hey, can you knock that down and make a bridge?
-The heck, man! This lava's crazy! -Oh, this is wobbling!
Hey come on, big Papa. You got it.
Hey, we can do this, guys.
There you go, Andy! Atta baby.
I don't know what that does.
Extending the vanity
makes it easy to step on the chandelier,
assuming it's been lowered.
The Tennis Trio and the Teachers both guessed how to lower it,
and it helped both of them get across faster.
-Hey, what's your next move? -I've got no idea.
Andy's at a complete loss about what to do next.
Mike's contemplating his options from the chair.
Scott's working out the physics of jumping onto the bed.
However, he's no science teacher.
That's it, Scott! Nice job! Nice move, baby!
-Are you getting dizzy now? -That's a big jump, dude!
Scott, are you going? There you go!
Way to go, big daddy!
Now we have to figure this out, dude.
Can you swing on the chandelier?
I can't reach the chandelier from here.
-Hold on. -What do you have, big daddy?
Oh, yes. We can use that stuff, right? They have to be here for a reason, right?
-Just hit it. -Andy, hit it.
The rules clearly state that everything in the course is in play,
but that doesn't mean everything is useful!
Listen, man.
Oh, man! Hold on, can I come up there with you, Andy?
Okay, I'm going to make a move.
Hey, don't knock him off.
-Mike's looking to jump on the vanity. -Hold me!
It's a risky move because if Mike comes with too much force,
they're both going straight into the lava.
-Careful! -Okay, maybe I oversold that.
I don't know where you're trying to go.
I'm thinking that we'll just go that way. I'm going to the bed, then that way.
Mike's starting to make his way to the rope by the fireplace,
but at this same point in the Teachers' run,
Rabi was already at the fireplace.
Okay, I'm good, baby. I'm going there.
Okay, but the bed is much higher than the ottoman. It's not an easy leap!
-All right, let's go. -Yes.
He lands it!
But now it's a race against motion to get off.
I think if he grabs that rope, something might happen.
-You know what I mean? -Do that. Mike!
-Yes, I'm listening! -Grab that rope…
-You have to go for that rope, dude. -That's what I'm going to try to do. Okay.
-Hey, just jump on that table and grab it. -Yes.
Yes, stay in one place. There you go.
Stay. Yes, Mike!
Oh! A face full of lava!
This has been a very geologically active part of the room!
Rabi and Joezen both got drenched here too.
And Joezen paid the price later.
Mike's across the trunk.
Look at that slick lava just dripping right off of him.
Shimmy across that.
-That's a big jump, dude! -It's six feet to that rock
but Mike has little traction and he wants to come in standing up.
Just like Little League! Make it happen! Let's go!
I think I'm going here to here to there.
We've got to move, though.
Mike is so close to the rope which activates the chandelier,
but instead he's heading toward the exit.
It's seven feet to the chaise longue, but it's an easier place to land.
Let's go.
-Just belly flop it. -We have to move.
Time, let's go!
You got it.
-I'm just going for it! -Go!
Mike has to be careful. That end table looks slick.
-Hey, you go now. -Yes.
I'll go next.
Andy's heading back to the four-poster and he's got it!
Whoa! Hold on!
Oh, the lava's throwing some high heat at Scott!
Mike's facing a five-foot leap to the trunk coated in slick lava.
Can he score the team's first point?
Oh!
Oh, he's gone!
Oh, no!
Oh, no! So close!
Things looked promising for Mike as he leaped onto the trunk,
but he was simply too slick to have any traction.
A great effort, maybe too great as he couldn't hold on.
With Mike gone, it's up to Scott and Andy now.
See if you can get the rope, dude. I'll go this way.
Yes, Andy!
Even if they both make it across,
they'll have to beat the Teachers' time of 8 minutes, 35 seconds.
The race is on!
Did Andy just try and head fake the lava?
Oh, a hard hit, but he's on!
Andy's body is taking a beating on these jumps
as he keeps sliding head-first into some very hard landings!
It's got to hurt!
But on the bright side, it's not me.
Andy's not slowing down
as he sizes up that jump to the chaise longue.
And yes! A powerful leap! He lands it!
-Did that look graceful? Was that good? -Narrow escape.
That's good. Can you make it to the trunk?
-Get that rope? -Scott is coaching but not moving.
I have short legs!
Okay. I have to like… There's no way I'm making this thing.
Andy's not going for the rope. He's going for the table instead.
You can do it, Andy!
They've got to hurry.
They're rapidly approaching the Teachers' finishing time.
Good job, Andy.
Another heavy landing. That's why they wear a cup in baseball!
-Hey, can you give me the photo frame? -I think Andy's going to need a minute.
See if you can get it and make a ramp up to that chest.
This strategy is sound. Ian from the Tennis Trio
successfully used that painting as a bridge in his run.
-Oh, no! -Hold it if you can.
Damn!
Scott needs to come up with another exit plan.
And he's onto the ottoman. Wow, and right onto the bed!
But they've both got to get across the finish line
and they've only got 20 seconds left.
They've got to hurry!
-Here we go, right. -Oh, no!
-Scott has struck out! -Damn!
And that's the ballgame!
With two points, the Teachers are our champions!
They win 10,000 dollars and the Volcano of Victory!
Total value, 10,029 dollars.
-You won! -Yes, we did it, we won!
You won 10,000 dollars!
Yes!
-What? No way! -Wow!
That's right, Rabi.
Enjoy the lava-free world out there.
Enjoy the prize money and the trophy.
-Can I hug you? -Of course. You played well.
Nicely done.
Party time!
Join me next time when three new teams
will attempt to keep their feet off the floor in…
Lava Ka Dhaava!
