Welcome to Lava Ka Dhaava.
Hello, everyone! I'm your host, Jaaved Jaaferi.
Today's level is the Kitchen.
But remember…
Don't try this at home. Please don't!
-No, try this at home. -No way. Don't try this at home.
If you can get some lava in your house, try it.
No way! Quiet.
These guys are right.
If you get the chance to play with lava,
keep these tips in mind.
Jumping directly into lava can be detrimental to your skeletal health.
Lava bathing will result in a very messy skin condition.
You must remember at all times that lava is not your friend.
Hopefully, today's three teams will use these tips.
We have an age-old rivalry in this episode.
The battle for dominance will be settled in the Kitchen.
The Kitchen is a chef's pleasant dream of appliances, butcher blocks, and pizza.
But if you make one mistake,
it won't just be your goose that's cooked.
That's why picking the right path
from the entrance to the exit is so important.
The first option requires a good grip.
If you've got strong hands and can handle a skillet,
swing your way across the pot rack to the pizza oven,
where pizza is your friend, and useful items hide in plain sight
if you can just think outside the box.
From there, just a few hops across the barstools
will deliver you to the dining table.
But be careful. Those stools aren't as solid as they look.
If agility is your recipe for success,
there's another route for you.
Climb the imposing wall of knives.
But don't fret. Those blades have been adjusted for safety.
Once you're at the circular table,
you're just a mozzarella stick ride away
from the dining table and to the exit.
The kitchen is filled with countless other options to get to the end,
including a secret to making that final leap a lot easier.
Whichever path you choose, you'll need to make it quickly
because the stairs to the exit are sinking,
making that last jump tougher than microwave pizza.
And the first of three teams that'll attempt to play with the lava
is a trio of physicians.
Doctors Raf, Jennifer, and DJ, reporting for duty.
We know each other through work.
Since we're all physicians, we sometimes share patient care.
We see young people. We see very old people. My motto is,
"From the womb to the tomb, baby, we'll take care of you."
We all have children about the same age.
We actually met five years ago at a Halloween party.
And you guys know each other a little bit more intimately than that.
We do. Jen and I have been married for over 11 years.
-We're going on our 12th. -Yes.
-Eleven years. -It's a long road.
Raf and I have three rambunctious young boys.
My kids and I love to play Lava Ka Dhaava.
We do it often at home.
So my kids actually play "The Floor is Crocodiles."
But there's a crossover
and I haven't been eaten by a crocodile yet,
so I don't see a problem.
Nurses are our competition today,
and I love nurses,
but I don't care, and even if I'm going against my grandma, she's going down.
Nurses are a great support in a clinical setting.
But that's it, they're the support. We're the doctors. We call the shots.
-What is this place? -Wow!
-So wait… -Wow, this is amazing.
Look at these utensils.
Hey, there's an oven there.
One of us must reach that pizza oven.
It's nearly time to operate.
In this Kitchen, everything is at your disposal.
So probe, examine, and manipulate whatever you believe
might assist your trip across the lava.
Get to the exit, stat, as the exit stairs slowly sink until they are gone.
The team with the most players through the exit wins.
Most importantly,
do not touch the floor because the floor is…
-Lava! -Lava!
Okay. Do you want to try?
I don't know if I can reach it.
-You don't want to? -Let's try it.
Do you want Raf to go first so he can help you?
-No, I can do it. -You want me to hold you?
-Hold on. -Sure.
Put your foot on it to see if it's wobbly.
Let me see. It's not wobbly.
You don't want any surprises.
-Yes, I can go… -How is it? Is it stable?
Yes.
Jen's in for a huge surprise if she doesn't realize that there are gaps
between the footholds along the wall.
Okay, I'm trying.
I don't know what…
-Watch your foot, Jen. It's broken. -Yes, I'm trying.
-Do I have space to put my foot? -Keep going. You're good.
But it's broken. You've got… It's broken up.
There's a smaller step coming up.
Does she have the reach to get to that step?
-A little bit more to the left. -Go left a bit more. Right there.
-There you go. -Okay, great.
I think you should help her there.
Help her where, sorry?
-Help her by going across with her. -No, she's doing fine.
-Okay… -Are you going to wait or go across?
-I don't know. -You should try to pull it.
Whoa, Dr. DJ with cat-like moves.
Smart move, prescribing himself a slide to avoid a slip and fall.
I'm coming to you, Jen.
I'm trying to hold on.
I'm breathing.
I'm not hyperventilating, I'm breathing.
We're going to stay together.
That way, you can help her. Wait for him.
Oh, my god, I'm not quite sure.
DJ, a pain management doctor,
aching for a way on to that pot rack.
He's on!
And he's a beast.
Look at him shaking down that pot rack like it owes him money. Wow!
Oh! Excellent!
Way to go, Deej!
Careful.
-All right, Jen. You can do this. -Okay.
Oh, yes, baby! Raffa.
Do you need help?
All right.
Hold on.
-Be careful. -All right.
No!
Jen!
Oh, Jen lunged for the table
but her efforts delivered her straight to the lava.
I need something to grip on to.
Newly single Dr. Raf
is taking the same path that just consumed his wife.
That is kind of a stretch.
He's having more trouble with that move than his wife did.
What can I do here? I can extend my grip.
Oh, that's not going to help.
All right, I'm making my way. I'm stretching.
This is a stretch.
Maybe go for the chair with your left foot
and then keep your right foot on the table.
My left foot?
Left foot on that chair.
Yes. All right.
-That way, you have something to dig into. -I have to dig into it.
There's enough cushion to kind of get a grip.
All right, here we go.
Lava's drenching his lower half.
-All right. You hungry? -See if you can get…
-You want some? -Sure.
Coming your way.
The doctors are stopping for a lunch break.
They may want to hurry as time determines tie-breakers.
-Don't get your hands too greasy. -This stuff is greasy.
Yes. "Your inner-child will play today."
Hopefully, the inner child doesn't play with lava.
Beware!
All right. So I've got to hang on to the ropes.
Diagnostic Radiologist Raf at work.
Is it mozzarella or provolone? Let's see.
"Oh, no," is right.
Come on!
-Oh, no! -Oh, yes!
The stairs to the exit may be gone soon,
making that last jump a very difficult operation.
I need a little bit more momentum.
Spot-on diagnosis from Dr. Raf.
And he makes it.
With that confident dismount, Dr. Raf demonstrates
how, on this team, he is the big cheese.
Dr. Raf needs to go now
while there's still one step above the lava.
-See if you can jump it. -Run for it?
And the doctor is in!
All right, DJ, you can do this.
You know, there's a hole on this table.
Looks like it may separate.
-What do you mean? -Maybe we need a key.
Oh, yes.
DJ saw the "Pizza is the key" sign earlier.
And he's off. DJ has come alive.
You got this.
You got it, buddy.
If these stairs disappear,
I could try to help you get into this doorway.
DJ digs inside the pizza oven
and comes out with…
pizza!
Want some?
Pepperoni?
-Oh, my goodness. Looks good. -Oh, pepperoni and lava.
-Deej, the stairs are gone! Hurry! -Okay.
The stairs are gone.
The stairs are indeed gone,
making that key even more important.
And there's the key!
You know, I don't think I…
With the stairs, I could've come.
I think you have to go back around.
Looks like a harder jump that way.
You've got to start moving.
We're running out of time.
Good.
If you can get on that chair,
you could jump across
and save time.
Dr. Raf's prescription,
take a barstool and call me in the morning.
Nice. Wow. That was awesome.
Monkey bars?
-Maybe you could swing it? -Maybe that way…
Barstool to the dining table, maybe?
I'm going to wrap myself around this thing.
Go!
-Whoa! He's in the spin cycle. -That was awesome. Yes!
Step right up and take a ride on the Lava Ka Dhaava stool.
Into a pool of lava, that is.
And don't drop that key.
You got this! You got it in the bag, man.
Yes, but he made that lava very angry.
You got it.
You can do this. Come on.
That was awesome.
Wow.
If you land on the table, just flatten out.
Two jumps stand between Dr. DJ and the exit.
The jump he's looking to make
to that dining table is four feet and what's worse,
that chair he's jumping from swivels!
-But he has to try. -You got it.
Oh, no!
No!
Taking home the gold medal for self-mutilation is Dr. DJ
with an incredibly painful dismount.
In the face!
His team has one point though.
Yes! I did it!
A 33 percent survival rate for the Doctors.
Dr. Jen went into the lava
with 10cc of Chinese food.
Her husband Dr. Raf, however, was fortunate.
"Your inner child will play today."
And kept his cheese together
all the way to the end to score a point for his team.
And physically impressive Dr. DJ
took himself for a spin
and a painful goodbye into the lava.
I think we may have a chance because of what you've done so far.
That singular effort from you was awesome.
We call the shots. The nurses do the rest.
They're indispensable.
We love them, but they have to lose today.
The Doctors are on the board, but the Nurses are waiting in the wings,
and one point isn't exactly a diagnosis for success.
Our next team to take on this culinary course
are three professional caregivers
who have a bone to pick with the doctors.
Meet the Nurses.
We are orthopedic registered nurses,
so we work with lots of hip fractures, joint replacements, and just bones.
Nurses do way more work than doctors,
and if you say doctors do more work,
then you must be a doctor.
We're a good team just because we all bring more to the table.
I do CrossFit, and I love CrossFit because it's competitive and fun.
I'm a runner, so I've run half marathons.
Endurance is mostly my specialty.
I weight train, and I've actually gained 20 pounds of muscle.
We play the game
where we jump up onto ropes, benches, and even the rig sometimes.
Yes, I feel like being a nurse mom,
people think we're always warm and cuddly,
but it's more like, just put some dirt on it
and you know, move on.
We're a lot nicer to our patients
than, I guess, to our children.
Oh, my gosh.
We can do this.
There's a lot of lava.
As you make your rounds,
be sure not to fall because the floor is…
-Lava! -Lava!
And the nurses' shift has begun.
Like, I don't even know!
How the heck am I going to get up there?
Oh, very carefully.
That is really high.
That looks pretty safe. Let me see if this is safe.
No, that's not safe.
That looks slippery.
You're going that way?
Is she going that way?
You're going that way too? Should I go this way?
-Okay. -I think that's best.
I don't know. Should I slide?
You don't want to slide all the way down.
-Okay. -Or can you go here and then go there?
I don't know.
Or step on it. Whatever works.
-Yes, you're right. -Okay.
Jessica's getting into the game on the wall of knives.
She better keep an eye out if she wants to stay out of that lava.
This is fine.
-Mariah's examining the pot rack. -It's going to be fine.
You can do it.
You can do it, Mariah.
Watch out.
You got it.
She's probably never had a pot rack as part of her CrossFit workout.
Woo! Get it, girl.
She got it.
She does know her way around a set of monkey bars.
The island is within reach.
Hang on, Mariah.
Mariah struggles to operate on that pot rack,
while Dr. DJ had the prescription for success.
I'm almost there.
Let's hope she fares better than that pot that just fell into the lava.
Nurse is down!
She might need a doctor.
Mariah gets to the edge, but there is no glory.
It's just impossible to nurse that landing back to health.
No time for tears from these nurses.
-How is this going to work? -Jessica focusing on her three-foot move,
oblivious to teammate Felicia.
And Felicia dismounts solo.
Oh, lava's erupting like an emergency room on a Saturday night.
Jess has done it!
The nurse succeeded with a conservative route
whereas the doctor's brass choice ended in failure.
Oh, smart, Felicia's using a drawer
to cut down the distance.
Trust me.
Do you want help?
No? You don't want help?
-No. -Okay.
All right. Here goes nothing.
Fake out.
Felicia's showing support.
Kind of.
All right, cheese curd.
And she's off, sliding that gouda to the dining table, stat.
Oh, what a gouda move.
Anything in here?
That book is useless without the pizza key that they overlooked.
But it doesn't matter.
There are still two steps up. Jessica needs to go now.
And she makes it.
Nurse Jessica finished the course faster than Dr. Raf,
so the Doctors are out.
Go back as far as you can on the table!
But with one team remaining,
the Nurses need every point they can get.
And she's on.
Look at that cheese go.
Look at that cheese go…
Backwards.
And that last step is dipping below the lava.
Felicia needs to harness
all 20 pounds of weight-training muscles that she has put on
and give herself a solid push.
Wow!
A lot more momentum this time. Can she?
She made it!
What's that tattoo she's got?
What are they?
Maybe for a reason.
But those exit stairs are gone.
The nurses need all the points they can get.
Can you jump on that chair?
And then you could try… Oh.
But how does she get to the pizza?
Can you try and get to the chair?
At least try a different route.
Jump, hug the back of the chair, and try to straddle it.
Okay. No.
Push off the edge of the table. It's not slippery.
This is hard to watch.
Nothing good has come of those barstools.
Let's see what happens.
Yes! And she makes it.
I didn't know that would happen.
Felicia steps off the dining table and onto the barstool,
only to find that the barstools spin
and that she has stepped into a trap.
Felicia needs to get that key.
She can't just sit around.
We've got to figure this out right.
No pressure.
-Oh, man. -Get it, girl.
You got it.
Just try it.
Oh! Another nurse is down!
A gutsy move from the nurse,
but that was doomed from the start.
And just like the doctor,
this nurse has flatlined.
Even though they tied, the Nurses have beaten the Doctors.
If the next team, the Party Animals, falls in the lava,
the Nurses could take this.
All we can think about is
just hoping no one else makes it to the top.
The final team to attack the Kitchen
is made up of three buddies who met in high school and love to party.
Here are the Party Animals.
-We're number one. -We're number one.
We're… Oh, I hate you guys.
We met in middle school, so that's high school
and just did a lot of sports together.
Football, track and field.
We started working out together when we were around 16
and we haven't stopped ever since.
I can bench press 405 pounds. I've done it multiple times.
How useful it is to bench 405,
I mean, it's just more of a fun factor, I guess.
I just like lifting heavy.
-That's fun for me. -It's on his Tinder.
Hopefully we win and, well, the other teams suck.
We need this money.
We really wanted to go to Cabo.
So, honestly we need this money.
-El borracho muchachos. -El borracho muchachos.
Whoa, what the hell?
-Are you kidding me? -Oh, no.
No way.
Can we stand on these?
This is not a drinking game. I repeat, this is not a drinking game.
The rules here are pretty straightforward.
Don't touch the floor because the floor is…
-Lava! -Lava!
-You go first. -What the freak?
I'm nervous, guys.
Can you stand on that?
-Oh, man. -Alex, is that doable?
That's pretty doable, yes?
I'm going for it.
Alex, desperate for a trip to Cabo,
takes on the wall of knives.
Where are my feet at though?
-Yes, you're good. -Left. More!
This team, the Party Animals, communicates better than the Nurses.
Make space for your right leg.
-Put your left leg further. -Yes, good!
Very good.
Now, this one's small, so be careful.
Further.
Excellent teamwork by the Party Animals,
but it'd be cool if they let Alex know
there's still one more step he can use.
-Oh, I made it. -I was thinking…
He's just hanging there.
Drink in that upper body strength.
-You want to try this? -I can.
But I'm scared that the thing will move.
How do I get over there?
-How do I… -You have to get the pizza.
Okay, if you go this way, you have to…
But we need to know how stable this is. This is going to move.
-Hold me. -Okay.
Oh, is it stable?
-You got it? Shall I hold you? -I'm good.
-You go first. You're better at it. -Don't touch me.
A spectacle of swinging skill
as Lee utterly demolishes the pot rack above him!
Wow.
Look at him go!
And he lands with a wobble!
Should I go this way?
That's pretty hard, dude.
Hey, Alex, can you guide me?
Ryan doesn't lift weights like Lee and Alex.
Let's see how he pulls this off.
We can pull each other over.
The knife wall makes more sense for the less sculpted,
the less cut, like myself.
That's where I would go.
Then you've got another big one right there.
Their teamwork is quite impressive.
You've got a small one right here.
And the dismount is good!
Are you going to jump?
Because that's not that far a jump.
You're going from the box to the table?
-Go to the oven. -What's in the oven?
Look at the sign. Lee, it says, "Pizza is the key."
-So you need me to get the pizza? -Bingo!
Is getting to that box easy?
I have to get to it and I might slip.
Do we believe it now?
-Yes, we do. -You're going all the way there?
If you think you can do it, bud.
I can.
-I might fall though. -Watch the pans.
Watch out for the pans.
Careful.
Yes! Lee made it.
You have to get the thing to get the pizza out.
Yes, the pizza peel. Checking the chickens for structural integrity. Good move.
-Come on. -It's hot.
-Is it really? -Hurry! We're hungry over here.
And he's got it!
Good thinking!
They could be the first team today to use the key.
It's the key.
The key could be the difference between one point and three points.
Who wants a pizza?
Oh, toss it over, toss it over.
Dude, what are we going to do now?
You have to get over there and use that to hop over.
Hold my hand.
Ryan's helping his buddy Alex with that three-foot move over the lava.
-Just jump? -On the chair or the table?
I don't know.
And now for the four-foot move.
He made it!
If you remember, Dr. Jen did not.
Alex stepped lightly.
Dr. Jen took a huge leap.
Years of trying not to spill a drink pays off for Alex.
Found it. Hey, guys, there's a key in here!
The key?
That's a key all right.
Hey, don't go up! Go straight.
What do you want me to do?
Hold on.
Alex takes the cheese train.
Not enough. Come back.
But it didn't work out.
It's not an express.
Lee!
Is there a way to get to the stairs or the table from there?
I can go there. I can meet you guys there, hopefully.
You might need to.
I don't see any way.
Yes, this way's easier if you get past the monkey bars.
Lee adds time by going back across the room.
That could be a smart move.
It's safer than those barstools that took out a doctor and a nurse.
The Party Animals are behind the Doctors and Nurses on time
but this team still has three potential points in play.
Let's go, Lee.
Wait, give him the key.
Alex made it.
-I need the key. -I'm coming.
The stairs descending makes keeping the key much more important.
Lee presses on.
He has the key to this game.
Or maybe he's the key to this game.
Let's go!
Watch out for those pans, man.
You're good.
-I need your eyes. -Yes. Let's go.
Come on. All right, so left foot… Put your left foot forward.
-A little more. -Yes.
I'm a ninja, don't forget.
-Stop lying in front of the camera. -The stairs are gone.
They're in the lava.
-We need the key. -I know.
Whoa. Lee nearly went into the lava.
If Lee goes in, the key goes in too.
Want to go first? Or it doesn't matter?
All right, keep your hands…
Come on, Ryan!
Let's go. Let's get it.
Four-foot move, coming up.
Oh, the angry lava's trying to take Ryan out.
You're going to hand over a little notch.
Run.
This team is doing really well.
That key's going to slip out.
-Lee! Go back. -Secure the key.
Pull it back and then run with it.
-You have to really run with it. -There you go. Go!
-Go for it. -Go!
-Go. -Go.
Home stretch for Lee and the key.
Here. Open it.
Put the key in and twist it.
Yes! Let there be light.
Oh, we've got to push!
The key shrinks that last leap from seven feet to four feet.
That's a big difference.
-Oh, watch out. -That's it.
The Party Animals only need to get two players from their team across to win.
Neither doctor nor nurse had the key
but they still had stairs to help with their exits.
-Ryan's up, baby. -You go first. I'm nervous.
Let's go, baby. Easy.
That trip to Cabo is looking better every second.
One point for the Party Animals.
My turn, baby, let's go.
If Lee makes this, they'll win.
Lee scores point number two.
The Party Animals don't know it yet, but they have won.
Ryan gets across to give the Party Animals a perfect three points.
Party time for the Party Animals!
Hey, I forgot the pizza.
Ten thousand bucks can buy a lot of pizzas
or just one with extraordinarily expensive toppings.
The true winners in the battle of nurses and doctors
are the Party Animals.
The Party Animals are going to Cabo!
We won!
-Cabo! -Cabo!
-You're coming with us. -We're all going.
-We're all going to Cabo. -To Cabo, baby!
Thank you, fellas.
-Cabo! -Cabo!
How about that?
Those guys are going to blow that ten grand
faster than you can say Lava Ka Dhaava.
Speaking of which, we've got more teams, more rooms, and it starts now.
