My comments:
For being afraid of heights Patrice did a great job.
We finally get to hear something about Belou’s boyfriend Steve I hope that she gets to see him soon.
There seems to be something between Michelle and Chris.

Segment #1
Mission #3 -- Canyoning
The group is in Millau, France, where they meet their contacts. They will be staying in an old renovated milk factory for the night. Belou kids around with Antoine about the first night they were together.
"Never forget and always regret," says Antoine.
Belou says it's unrespectful to her that Antoine was hitting on one of the girls that works at where they're staying. Belou calls her boyfriend and assures him that he is the only one. There's a bad connection with the line and she didn't get to say goodbye to him. Michelle says that sucks; Antoine says it's good.
She goes out to swing and she calls out to Michelle. Michelle comes out and Belou starts crying. She says she feels guilty for cheating on her boyfriend with Antoine.
Michelle thinks Antoine and Belou fell for each other. Michelle thinks Antoine puts up a wall. Michelle reassures her that the group needs her. They all go to sleep.
Segment #2
The next morning they drive the Winnie up to the mountain. Patrice says he's afraid of heights. Patrice comments on how high all the rocks are as they drive passed. Michelle tells him they can climb together. They put on their helmets and hike up the mountain.
Mission #3: Canyoning
They will be repelling down the side of the mountain, of which they can't even see underneath them. Chris is first, then Michelle, and then Antoine. Then Belou goes next and loses her footing a little which results in a scrape. Patrice gets nervous and he goes down next. Chris says Patrice was scared more than he wanted to admit.
Segment #3
Patrice is yelping out of part nerves and part adrenaline. He does it and says he feels so much better now that it's over. However, the mission is still not done. The repelling was not the actual mission but a warm-up. So they drive a ways down the road where they meet Laurent.
They are asked to put on wet suits and are told they will be body rafting and repelling. They repel down rocks through waterfalls. They also must dive off the rocks into the water. They all seem to be loving it.
Mission #3 completed.
Back at the place they spent the night, Belou and Michelle sunbath. Michelle looks through photos of Belou's boyfriend, Steve. Michelle understands how she's torn. Antoine says Belou falls in love with everything and everyone. Chris says to Belou that he's never fallen in love. Belou says love is all about struggle. Belou says it isn't about love for her, but about fascination.
Chris and Michelle flirt. Chris says he's had fun hanging out with these people and the village. They are at a bridge. Chris and Patrice jump off a bridge into the water. The last night they're there, they go out to eat and get their next clue which tells them they will clean the Happy Fox at Cannes.
What MTV had to say about the episode:
On the edge of your fears
A sweaty-palmed Patrice faces his fear of heights head on as the Road Rulers have to repel down a steep cliff ... and then go canyoning. The group spends a cozy night in the beautiful country house called "the Gite" during which Belou bursts into tears after a call to her boyfriend Steve -- torn between loyalty to him and her attraction to Antoine. A mop clue leads them to Cannes ... it's off to the Riviera!
