Season 3 Episodes
309: Strutting Their Stuff
Missions:
Job: Walk the catwalk
8: Find the Winnie
My comments:
The show went off very well, and they did a very professional job
I guess after being together for all of this time the group has become used to being naked around each other.
Pablo sure makes Belou feel happy, I think that Belou is going to break up with Steve

Segment #1
This mission: Strut your stuff on the catwalk
They leave Amsterdam and take the international train (TGV) and ate lunch for the first time in awhile. So far they've travelled 3025 miles travelled. Michelle's excited because she's never been to Paris. The clue had said to go to a store called Printemps. It's a huge department store in a mall. A woman named Sonya meets them and takes them to their job. Antoine thought it would be a behind-the-scenes job, but they are told instead that they will be models themselves.
Sonya shows them all their clothes. Antoine asks where they should change and she tells him they have to change right there. Belou says she's not shy and flashes everyone.
They are all shown how to walk like models on the runway. Chris is worried about tripping on the catwalk. Patrice seems the most nervous. Antoine is goofing around on the stage.
They all go to the youth hostel to stay before and after the show. Chris asks Belou to do something with his hair because it's a mess. They twist strands of his hair up with gel so he looks like Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. Chris had no idea what Belou and Michelle were doing with his hair until it was done and he stood up in front of the mirror. He likes it a lot. Everyone loves it except Antoine who thinks it's ugly. Michelle says Chris went from looking like a boy to a man.
Segment #2
The group takes the subway to the show. They all get their makeup done first. Belou said she felt like Frankenstein in her makeup, but she liked it. They all get their hair done next. Antoine disappears for awhile and comes back with his hair dyed bright neon red. Everyone thinks it fits his personality. They all wait in their clothes and start getting nervous about the show.
They walk down the catwalk for the first time and look great. They all change clothes and go down the catwalk again. This time they have to stall because the guys are talking longer to get changed.
Chris says he couldn't keep a straight face. Antoine does weird stuff on the stage. He says they got more applause than the professional models because they were a little more creative and crazy.
Segment #3
The gang is congratulated on a show well done. Belou says she'd choose being herself over a model. The group is given a lot of money for the job they did.
They are given their next clue which says to go on the barge to pick a small package. They go to a huge barge where tourists are and search for their next clue. Someone on the barge gives them a minature model of the winnebego which has the directions : N 48 degrees 51.563, E 2 degrees 17.427. These are the numbers they have to punch in the GPS computer device to find the Winne.
The next part of the mission is to find where the Winnie (or Pepe as they call the vehicle in Europe) is parked.
Patrice uses the GPS to find the exact area where the Pepe is parked. The main problem is that no one really knows how to use the device.
They all go searching. They get lost in some park. Chris suggests they go to the top of the Eiffel Tower in order to spot the Pepe from above. They get to the top and find the Pepe next to a Merry-Go-Round.
Mission completed.
The next clue they find is in the Pepe. It's printed on a copy of the famous painting of the Mona Lisa. The clue makes mention that they will stay at 37270 Mount-Louise-sur-Loire.
They go walking around Paris that night with 3 girls they met at the hostel and Belou's friend, Pablo. Belou says it was love at first sight when she met Pablo.
Belou gets mad because she thinks Michelle is flirting too much with Pablo. Belou snaps at her and says she can't trust girls for this very reason. (whatever).
End Segment
They make fun of Antoine's dance moves when he's not in the room.
