Welcome. Today, three teams will try and make it across the master bedroom.
It's often a place where we Netflix and chill,
but our teams have to stay alert.
And there's only one rule:
Don't fall.
Why? Because the floor is lava!
Oh, come on!
Aw, man!
Oh, that always happens.
I'm not a contestant. I'm the host.
[Rutledge narrating] In this episode, we're going back to the Bedroom,
something I do almost every night.
The first attempts to cross this room weren't pretty.
Half the players failed.
[woman screams]
It was too slippery...
No!
[screams]
...too dizzying, and too much for most players to survive.
[screams] No!
But this is Level Two, so we're going even harder.
For the first time in Floor is Lava history,
there are only two players per team.
We also added a booby-trap rope to make things even more difficult.
It's time to get busy in the Bedroom,
on Floor is Lava.
Our first team is two friends from California
who like to hoop it up together.
Say hello to Alyssa and Janine, the Basketballers.
I have been playing basketball since I was very young.
Like, I was never going to go to the WNBA, you know what I mean?
But it's fun and I enjoy it.
[Alyssa] People ask me to be on the team because I'm tall,
but then they don't know about what goes on with my body
-and it's not that good. -[both chuckle]
It's not.
I am actually very clumsy.
[chuckles]
This is what we're working with.
-Can I just... Can we recast? -No, Janine.
[Janine] I'm a professional beatboxer. I do beatboxing and rapping.
[beatboxing]
[laughing] I dance. I'm a dancer.
I dance to Janine's beatboxing.
-No one is better than us. -No one is better than us.
-We came here to win. -We came here to win.
-And we're gonna win. -And we're gonna win.
And nobody... Which hand?
This one.
-One, one, one... -Two, three, one, one, one...
[both screaming]
It's time for tip off.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, we gotta come up here.
Oh, my gosh.
Janine, this literally looks like a pool of blood.
-Our blood! -It's not blood. No, it's lava.
-Okay. -I don't want to do this.
-This is fine. -I changed my mind.
I don't think we can.
-[Rutledge on PA] Hello, Basketballers! -[both] Hi.
The rules are simple.
Each player who gets across is worth a point.
The team with the most points wins,
and most importantly, don't fall, because the floor is...
[both] Lava!
[both scream]
I knew it!
[Alyssa] Oh, my God! That bed...
That bed is the worst.
What should I do? Tell me what to do, boss.
-I don't want to tell you what to do! -Tell me!
-I think I'm gonna go this way. -Go.
I feel like I could climb on these.
Yes. Do it.
I love you. [chuckles nervously]
-Okay. All right. -Um, okay.
-Oh! What is this? -It moves, it moves.
-Can I do this? -Dude, I got you.
Okay.
[Alyssa gasps and shrieks]
Yes! Yes!
I love it. I love this. I love this.
[Rutledge narrating] Janine's across, but that curtain is a one-way ride.
Give that back to me.
-I can't. -Should I just go this way?
-Okay. -Yeah.
Okay. All right.
I'm so scared I'm gonna fall off of it!
You're not. You'll land right on it.
Okay.
-[screams] -Yes!
It's a little early to celebrate that hard.
[screams]
[Janine] Okay.
Janine, crawling along the landing.
At nine inches wide, it's the same diameter as a basketball.
[Alyssa shrieks]
I hate this whole place.
I'm just gonna jump on the bed.
I don't know where else to go.
-You can, you can. -[gasping]
You can, you can, you can.
It's a five-foot jump to the bed
and those bedposts are spinning at ten revolutions per minute.
-You can do it. -I feel like I'm in a video game.
I'm not a person anymore.
You gotta just time it to when it's flat.
Not yet.
I think I'm gonna cry.
Don't cry, please.
It will be so awkward for everyone if you cry.
Please don't cry! I'm a sympathetic crier.
If you cry, I'll cry, people at home will cry.
-[Janine] Yeah! Yes! -Oh!
I'm gonna get this!
Oh!
[gasps] Oh, my...
Now that she's on the bed, Alyssa needs to get off it.
She could get onto the side table or the ottoman,
or she could fall in the lava.
Three options, really.
-No! There's no balance here! -[Janine] I can't help you.
Alyssa, looking really uncomfortable...
Oh, no!
No!
...but managing to wave like the Queen of England.
[Janine] I got nothing for you, but I'm gonna go over--
[Alyssa screams]
You have to go there.
It's four feet from the ottoman to the vanity.
Oh!
Alyssa, trying a very novel approach,
and it looks like she's stuck.
-No! -Never saw that coming.
Wait! Stay there. I'll help you.
[gasps and screams]
[gasps] Okay. Okay.
Now, trying a more standard approach.
[yelps]
[Janine] Okay. Okay, push it down, push it down.
-What? -[Janine] Build a bridge, build a bridge.
-Yes! -It's heavy! Oh, my God.
Down goes the mirror.
Now what, though?
Extending the vanity makes it easy to step on the chandelier,
assuming it's been lowered, which it hasn't.
We have to go to the bed to that, to that, to that.
Why?
Because how are you gonna get all the way over there?
I don't know. Okay.
The only way to lower the chandelier is to undo the rope by the mantel,
but getting there is no layup.
[Janine] And you have to go there.
Um...
-Whoa! -[chuckles]
[screams]
Yes!
Say what you will about her athleticism,
Alyssa definitely has team spirit.
[Janine] Okay.
Okay. I need you to try and jump on the bed
-'cause I don't know if I can do it again. -Jump on that?
Look at those bedposts,
a fearsome foursome of defenders
just waiting to knock a jumper into the lava.
How do I get on it?
-You just go now? -Jump, use your body. Yeah, yeah.
[both scream]
And Janine's on!
[Janine] Whoo!
Crawling unsteadily to the bedpost,
she'll find no rest on this bed.
Jump on that!
-How? -Jump on that.
The first time we had teams go through this bedroom...
Ready? Here we go.
Little League dad Scott took some high heat to the head.
Will Janine fare better?
-I'm gonna... I'm so naus. -You've got it!
That dizziness is such a factor on the spinning bed.
Hold on to that!
Look at all that lava.
[Alyssa] Okay, do it quick!
That thing is so sturdy. That thing is sturdy.
[Janine] Ah!
Oh, no!
[screams]
Janine has committed the most costly turnover of all,
falling into the lava.
A professional beatboxer to the end,
Janine kept spinning round, round, baby, right round,
and she even managed to high-five Alyssa,
and then she dropped it like it was hot, which of course it was...
since it's lava.
Now it's all up to Alyssa to put a point on the board.
Okay. That's it.
Alyssa, enough.
Enough!
Alyssa, giving herself a pep talk, channeling her inner Coach K.
[grunts]
Now facing the same jump that took Janine...
[Alyssa exhales sharply]
...can she do it?
-She can! -Oh!
Who?
I don't trust anybody in this world except myself!
Alyssa, reaching for powerful personal epiphanies.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Janine...
this is for you.
Trying to honor her friend with a seven-foot jump to the chaise lounge.
[exhales sharply]
From downtown!
[screams]
Oh, no!
Her tribute has fallen short,
bouncing off the chaise lounge like a skyhook clanking off the rim.
It was a valiant effort,
but human beatboxer Janine got dropped like a dubstep bassline.
Alyssa tried to play one-on-one with the room,
but she couldn't cross over the chaise lounge.
[screams]
I never want to see lava again.
I never want to hear the word "lava" again.
If I go somewhere and they say, "I have a lava cake.
It's free, delicious and it's chocolate,"
I'll say, "Get the heck outta here. I don't want nothin' to do with it."
I'll be honest.
I would eat the free lava cake,
but that's because I really like cake.
That's fair.
And with that, the Basketballers
have taken a trip to the final floor.
They are out of the big dance,
but there are still two more teams left to come.
Up next, two bouldering buddies who hope to scale to new heights.
Say hello to Kendall and Austin, The Climbers.
We climb different kinds of walls.
We go indoors.
We go almost every night together, and then on the weekends,
-we go outside. -Or the week.
Bouldering is our primary. Sometimes, we get some sport climbing in.
We like the short powerful moves that just make you feel so strong.
We're gonna do whatever we can to have a good time.
Let's be honest.
Rock climbers are giant children.
We just want to have fun, climb weird stuff and just giggle.
[chuckles]
We brought a secret weapon that's gonna help us win.
[Austin] Whoo!
I really enjoy singing and, you know,
I sing when I'm climbing, I sing when I'm walking.
I really enjoy the sounds it makes.
-[vocalizing] Beep. -Dude.
-This is absolutely insane. -Man. Whoo!
Kendall and Austin,
facing down the Mount Everest of obstacle courses, the Bedroom.
-All right. -You wanna go that way?
-You wanna go this way? -Yeah. Okay.
All right, dude. So you wanna...
-Yup. -Come on.
Kendall, already summiting the table.
It's pretty stable.
Austin, heading to the wall.
You goin' that way?
Nice. Nice.
Go for it. Get there.
Whoo!
Austin makes it!
[vocalizing]
And he celebrates by singing.
He rappelled across the 20-foot wall with no difficulty at all.
It's almost as if he's rappelled before.
-Weird. -Whoo!
-[Austin] Can you make it? -I think I can.
[Austin] You got this, dude.
All right. I'm jumpin'.
Kendall, leaping onto to the bed like he was hopping over a crevasse...
then striking a pose.
[Austin] Hey, baby.
Hey, how you doin'?
-[Austin] You're lookin' good. -All right. Cool.
-Now we're spinnin'. -All right.
I'm takin' this rope.
You taking that rope?
-You want the rope? -I'll stay here, see what happens.
Nothing's more important to a climber than a reliable rope,
but this rope is reliably awful.
Here we go.
Whoo!
A lava-lanche.
The whole course is now coated with slippery magma.
Oopsy-daisy.
[Kendall] Well, that happened.
Um...
[vocalizing] * Makin' my way... *
Austin, once again giving the world
the gift of his song. What a gift.
[Austin] Get on the edge of this corner here.
Right here?
[chuckles]
[Austin] You'll have to make your way over here.
[Austin] All right. Go, dude.
And Kendall's onto the ottoman,
a much safer base camp than the spinning bed.
Nice.
Can you come over here?
Push that mirror.
Kendall, helping Austin across with a manly mountain man grip.
-[Austin] We gotta bring this down. -This is a real hop.
I think we gotta go back that way, dude.
Do we gotta go back that way?
They do have to go back that way!
The chandelier will lower, but only if the climbers figure out how.
Wait, wait. Time it where you can bam, bam.
-I'll stop, then jump. -Okay.
Take my time.
Kendall, going back to the bed.
Man. I love going back to bed.
* Hey, Kendall, get this bed *
[Austin chuckles]
-All right, Austin. -Whoo!
I'm gonna stand here.
You got this, dude.
Getting out of this bed isn't easy.
Janine from the Basketballers missed her shot.
[Alyssa] No! No!
Can Kendall do better?
Come on, Kendall!
Come on, dude!
Come on.
Yeah! Whoo!
He's done it!
Kendall almost fell off the side table,
but he jumped straight onto the chest.
[Austin] Come on, baby.
-[Kendall] All right. -Get to this rock.
You gotta work your way across the fireplace.
[Kendall] All right.
Whoo!
Dude!
Come on, dude!
Big rock. Fireplace.
[Kendall] All right.
It's a four-foot jump onto that boulder,
but there are no safety ropes here.
He'll have to free solo, over lava!
The wall?
No, no, jump onto that rock.
Use the wall to catch yourself.
[Kendall grunts]
[Austin] Yeah!
Nice, dude. Come on.
It's a tricky traverse across the fireplace.
Dude, it's just like a V4. Come on, bro.
A V4 is a climbing degree of difficulty,
not usually associated with household furniture.
[Austin] Get that rope.
Yeah!
Whoo!
Down goes the chandelier.
With the chandelier down,
Austin can swing directly towards the exit,
avoiding a number of very tricky jumps.
[Kendall] Go for it.
Austin, hopping right on...
and right off.
No stranger to technical Tyrolean traverses.
[Austin] Come on, dude.
Nice.
The Climbers, giving a clinic on how to cross over slippery furniture.
-[Austin] Come here, baby. -All right.
Austin, reaching for the painting.
Dude!
No!
No! I was going to hang that in my house after the show.
Argh!
That painting could have been used as a bridge.
[Austin] No!
Now, Austin will have to jump to the trunk.
Go for it. Get there.
I'm gonna make it.
Yeah!
Oh! Austin made a double jump
and he didn't even need to use the top step. Wow.
And with that amazing combo move,
the Climbers have become the king of the mountain
and knocked the Basketballers out of the competition.
[Austin] Come on, dude.
But there's another team to play
so the Climbers need to get Kendall across, too.
Facing a six-foot jump from the chaise lounge...
Come on.
Wow! Kendall gets blasted right in the boulders.
Dude!
Then, slick with lava, he almost skidded off the trunk,
but he used his shin to check his forward momentum. Unreal.
Come on.
[both cheering]
And Kendall's across!
Wow! The fastest run in Floor is Lava history.
Dude!
Yeah, yeah!
Whoo! Whoo!
And also, thanks to Austin, the most musical.
[Austin vocalizing]
* Makin' my way Kendall, get this bed *
* Yeah! *
This experience has definetly brought us closer.
It's definetely heated up our relationship.
-Ooh. -[Austin] Ooh.
-Lava joke. -Lava joke.
I lava you.
I lava you, too, baby.
I just got that much closer to this dude right here.
With a perfect score of two points,
the Climbers are at the pinnacle of possible scoring,
but the final team can still beat them
if they get two points and a faster time.
Our final team is no stranger to pressure-filled, ultra-hot rooms,
because they're firefighters.
Say hello to Zeki and Zach, the Extinguishers.
We've known each other for about eight years now.
Um, met Zeki when I first was doing my paramedic internship
with the Sacramento City Fire Department.
I was fortunate to be hired by that department
and we are now partners on Engine 17.
We're with each other for 48 hours at a time,
going on calls, cooking together, working out together,
so we have to be able to communicate with each other
to be able to look out for one another in a hazardous situation, like a fire.
We're used to being around heat. It's usually fire, not lava.
So this will be a little different, but I think we'll be all right.
We're risking a lot.
If we can't complete this, the guys at the firehouse
will give us a hard time.
We'll never live this down.
[Zeki] This'll stick with us for the rest of our career,
so we gotta make sure we represent and do the best we can.
Let's do this. We got this. Station 17 in the house.
-Let's do it. -We're taking it home.
[Zeki] Oh, dude.
[Zach] Oh, my God. What is this?
We join the two-alarmed firemen as they face a new occupational hazard.
Lava!
Oh!
Oh, look at the bed spinning, too.
-Oh, no! -All right.
[Zach] Oh!
How we gonna do this? All right.
-I'll check how sturdy these are. -Check that out.
Maybe I can cross the wall to that side.
Go ahead. Go.
Whoo!
Zach, heading to the curtain wall.
Remember, both firemen have to get to the finish line
in under 6:05 in order to win.
-Try to swing to the other one? -Yup, yup, yup.
-You got it. -All right. Let's see.
-Hey! [clapping] -Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Go, Zach! Good job.
What a great start!
Zach's form is just as good as the Climbers.
Turns out, firemen know how to rappel, too.
All right. No lava! No lava!
-[Zach] Hold on. -No lava!
What's this?
Oh, dude!
Yes, lava!
-That was not good. -[Zach] Oh!
Hey, I'm just gonna belly-flop.
I'mma belly flop on it.
Be careful.
-All right. Here we go. -Easy, easy, easy.
-[Zach] All right! -I survived more than five seconds! Yes!
Keep it going.
That's a win. That's a win.
-All right. -All right.
No lava. All bed, no lava.
Right on the edge.
-No lava! -Sure you want to go straight to the bed?
Whoo!
Here we go.
-Let me know when you good. -One, two...
No, not yet. Not yet.
Zeki's entered 1,000 burning buildings,
but this bed has got him flummoxed.
Not yet.
-Not yet. -Time it, time it.
I'mma time it.
Okay, here we go.
Here we go. It's bed time!
Go! Yeah, there we go!
Yes! Yes!
Zeki is a man who takes his naps seriously
as he heads to the bed with enthusiasm.
Night-night.
Flying through the air like a DC-10 air tanker dropping a heavy load.
Boom!
-[Zach] All right! -Here we go.
All right, now I'm getting dizzy.
Zeki, spinning round and round on that bed like he was sliding down the firepole.
Getting motion sickness!
Oh, that's not good.
-You go first, then-- -Here we go.
One! Two! Three!
Zeki's made it onto the ottoman!
Come on.
Zach, making good time over the furniture.
All right.
Hold on.
I'mma jump onto that.
Scoot over and when I jump, don't let me fall in.
[Zeki] I got you. Station 17, here we go!
Hold it down.
Zach city fire.
You can't fall.
[screams]
-[Zach laughs] -We here!
He's made it!
Zach, using Zeki as a backstop! What teamwork!
All right, that's where we're goin'.
There?
Whatever you do, don't spill the cup of juice.
-I'm saving that for later. -[laughs]
Zeki, very concerned about staying hydrated.
Also, that's not real juice.
[Zach] Can you reach?
I'm trying to think of the easiest route.
If that's stable, grab it. See if that thing moves.
-I'll see if this moves? -This thing on top.
[groans] We got a path! We got a path!
But where you gonna go from there?
They wasted no time on that vanity.
They're moving faster than the Climbers did.
[Zach] It looks like we might have to go around.
-[Zeki] We gotta go back there. -[Zach] How though?
[Zeki] On the table, on that chair...
-But how do we get across-- -...on that rock.
We gotta go that way.
Hey, you gotta time it.
You got a bigger area on the side.
-The other side. -You just gotta belly flop.
Yeah. I'mma go first.
-[Zach grunts] -[Zeki laughs]
Hey, jump on it. Jump on it!
All right.
Hey, grab a corner.
Grab a far corner.
-I'm comin'. -Go on.
-All right, you ready? -Yup.
Go for it.
You on! You on.
All right, we on.
Two firemen on a bed.
There's no safer bed in America, except for the spinning...
and the lava.
[Zeki] So that's where I'm goin'. I'm goin' on the table.
[Zach] Yeah, go to the table
and try to go from the table to the chest and the chair.
-[Zeki] All right. -Oh, that's hard.
-Oh! -No!
Lava!
All right. I'm so dizzy.
I'm gettin' dizzy.
The longer you wait, I'm getting more dizzy.
[Zach] I will. Hold on.
The firemen need to move.
Time is ticking away.
You gonna try it?
Get low. Hey, get low.
Let's do it. There you go!
Attaboy! Attaboy! Yeah!
Wow! Zach lands safely on the table,
but his face finds a world of lava.
Somebody get that firefighter a hose.
-All right, scoot over. -Hold up! Hold up.
-No. -No, let me go first.
-I'm goin' for that. -Okay, okay.
Zach, going directly for the chaise lounge from the table.
[Zach] All right, you got this. You got this!
Alyssa missed the chaise lounge from the trunk,
and that's a foot closer!
Belly flop!
Hard!
[grunts]
Yeah!
Zach made it!
Zach, taking to the air like a LifeFlight helicopter.
Go, Zach, go.
-[Zeki] Thank God! -Yeah!
Station 17!
Get onto that.
Yeah.
Zeki, onto the table, flopping down with a wet thud...
All right.
...like a giant ladle of firehouse chili.
Zach, four feet away from the round table.
From there, it's only two jumps to the exit, but they need to hurry.
There's under a minute left to get both men across.
You got this. You got this.
Just grab onto it.
[beeping]
No! Zach!
Oh, no! Zach jumps too hard and slides face-first into the lava.
I've heard about using your head, but that's the wrong way to do it.
But there's no question Zach's fellow firefighters back at Station 17
will want to see this again
and again
and again.
and I'm sure they won't tease him about it. No way.
And with that, the firemen's hopes have been extinguished,
and the Climbers will remain on the summit of the scoreboard,
and have won $10,000 and the Volcano of Victory.
Congratulations!
[both screaming]
Yeah! Hell, yeah!
$10,000.
-Oh, my gosh. -I get the $10,000, you get a trophy.
-It's true. We've agreed on this. -Yeah. Cool.
Just kidding. We didn't.
-You didn't. I was gonna say-- -That is not the case.
Enjoy the money.
Enjoy your trophy.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
Be safe out there. There's no lava, as far as you know.
[whispers] Wow!
Join me next time.
We're gonna see if a couple more friends can win $10,000
as long as they remember the floor is lava.
