00:00:30Prepare for the launch of Vesta's new social media app.
00:00:37Good night, Maya.
00:00:38Good night, Craig.
00:00:41Real places, real people, real life.
00:00:46Huh, that's good.
00:00:49That's really good.
00:00:51Hey, Vesta, book a bike at Spin Cycle for eight, then dinner for one at Chi Chi and
00:00:59set an alarm for six a.m.
00:01:01Your requests are confirmed.
00:01:07This is Maya Alvaro.
00:01:10Allegra?
00:01:12Allegra Adams?
00:01:14Yes, I'll hold.
00:01:19Ms. Adams!
00:01:22Yes!
00:01:24Tomorrow?
00:01:26The Whitewater Lodge?
00:01:32That sounds lovely.
00:01:33Is it a spa?
00:01:35No, it's not a spa.
00:01:39Okay.
00:01:40Yes, I will see you tomorrow.
00:01:43Okay, bye-bye.
00:01:46Maya, can't wait to see that press release.
00:01:51Are you okay?
00:01:55Allegra Adams just called me.
00:01:58Allegra Adams, Vesta's CEO, just called you?
00:02:02Yes.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:04What about exactly?
00:02:05She wants me to represent the Vesta East office at a corporate retreat in the Rocky Mountains.
00:02:11When?
00:02:12I would leave tomorrow for four days.
00:02:14I can't take time off work.
00:02:16I'm still working on the bid for the Highlight Reel contract.
00:02:20Why now?
00:02:22She knows that all four offices will be working on their launch proposals.
00:02:26Yeah.
00:02:28Okay.
00:02:30Allegra is bringing in one rep from each of the four regional offices to a retreat in
00:02:37the Colorado Mountains.
00:02:48She's scouting.
00:02:49Scouting for what?
00:02:51Scouting for whom?
00:02:53She's not one of America's top CEOs for nothing.
00:02:56She's using this weekend retreat as a guise to cherry pick which office will take the
00:03:00lead on the Highlight Reel app.
00:03:01She is?
00:03:02Think about it.
00:03:04The app shares filterless photos from precise locations.
00:03:07What better way to showcase all of that than a wilderness retreat to the Rockies?
00:03:11And you, Maya Alvaro, are representing Vesta East's opportunity for greatness.
00:03:16I am?
00:03:17Well, she knew that I would see right through the whole setup, but you, you are fresh bait
00:03:22for the forest.
00:03:24Forest bait?
00:03:27You know, I've never been to the Rocky Mountains or any mountains.
00:03:31Doesn't matter.
00:03:32Well, you know, Marilyn, I'm more of an indoorsy person.
00:03:36Find your outdoorsy.
00:03:37There we go.
00:03:38It's going to be tough competition.
00:03:41I want you to take detailed notes and report back to me on all the employees, their strengths,
00:03:46their weaknesses, and how we can use those to our advantage.
00:03:50I really don't think I'm the best person for this.
00:03:53Actually, I'm probably the worst.
00:03:56Which is exactly why she chose you.
00:03:59You are all going to be put through the churner, but the cream, Maya, the cream always rises
00:04:03to the top.
00:04:04This is your chance to prove to me that you deserve the executive position you've been
00:04:08working so hard for.
00:04:10This is how you earn it.
00:04:12Don't let me down.
00:04:16I can't believe I get to house sit for you all weekend.
00:04:28That's if I last all weekend.
00:04:30Thank you, by the way.
00:04:31What are little sisters for?
00:04:32Besides, I'm just going to be studying anyways.
00:04:35That's what I like to hear.
00:04:37How's the prep tutor working out?
00:04:39You got me the best in the country.
00:04:41I might even qualify for scholarships just like you.
00:04:43Just remember.
00:04:44Make sure you go to college no matter what.
00:04:46Yeah, but if you have to pay for my tuition, you're going to be stuck in this apartment
00:04:49forever.
00:04:50Well, what are big sisters for?
00:04:53Okay, what does the list say to pack for the outdoors?
00:04:56Okay, hiking boots.
00:04:59Already wearing them?
00:05:01Cute.
00:05:02Warm jacket.
00:05:03Check.
00:05:04Hat.
00:05:05Check.
00:05:06Bear spray.
00:05:07Oh.
00:05:08I have this nice smelling spray.
00:05:13Check.
00:05:14Okay, Swiss army knife.
00:05:16And non-perishable food.
00:05:17Oh.
00:05:18Oh, I know.
00:05:20What about this?
00:05:26Looks Swiss to me.
00:05:27Yep.
00:05:28And non-perishable?
00:05:29Granola bars?
00:05:30Yes.
00:05:31Bingo.
00:05:32All right.
00:05:33We're all set.
00:05:34You know what?
00:05:35This might actually be easy.
00:05:37Your flight to Colorado leaves in three hours.
00:05:38Thanks, Vesta.
00:05:39Oh.
00:05:40Oh.

00:09:31Oh.
00:09:32Oh.
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36I love.
00:09:37I love.
00:09:38There you go.
00:09:39Wait.
00:09:40I'm having professional, personal, and when you're done, you can put...
00:09:41Thank you, Maya.
00:09:42Thank you, Chia.
00:09:43Thank you, Claire.
00:09:44Thank you, Matt.
00:09:45Thank you, Lewis.
00:09:47Lewis.
00:09:48Wait.
00:09:53Okay.
00:09:54I am flawless.
00:09:55I'm from Antarctica, and I am fluent in four different languages.
00:09:59Only four?
00:10:01I'm going to guess Claire from Vesta South.
00:10:06It's five, but my Japanese is only conversational.
00:10:10Konnichiwa.
00:10:11Wow, that is impressive.
00:10:14Matt, would you like to take a turn?
00:10:16Yes, of course.
00:10:19Okay, let's see.
00:10:22I am the best.
00:10:25Allegra, is this yours?
00:10:28No, I'm joking.
00:10:30Okay, I helped refurbish old computers for low-income students
00:10:34and received a full-ride academic scholarship in return.
00:10:38Wow.
00:10:40I'm going to go with my man Louis from Vesta North, Chicago, right?
00:10:46No?
00:10:47No.
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:50It's Maya from Manhattan.
00:10:57It's just Maya.
00:10:59Okay, and you're specific.
00:11:01Yeah, M-A-Y-A?
00:11:03I know how to spell. Thank you.
00:11:04Oh, do you? That's refreshing.
00:11:08All right.
00:11:13I like to wake up early and surf at sunrise before work.
00:11:21I'm going to go with Malibu Matt.
00:11:23Nope.
00:11:24Right state, wrong tax bracket.
00:11:26I'm from Big Sur.
00:11:27Try again.
00:11:29Actually, I'm the surfer.
00:11:32We get some decent swells on Lake Michigan in the summer.
00:11:35Very cool, Louis.
00:11:37That means the last one is Matt.
00:11:39Maya, would you like to read it?
00:11:41Sure.
00:11:45I volunteer fighting wildfires during the dry season on the Pacific Coast.
00:11:53So brave.
00:11:57You're all already so adventurous, which is good, because for the next three days,
00:12:03we are going to be totally immersed in the great outdoors,
00:12:08tackling challenges that will test our mental and physical limits.
00:12:12Now, tomorrow morning, we're all going to be loading into the raft
00:12:15and heading down Regal River.
00:12:18We'll be stopping for activities along the way,
00:12:21and the adventure will culminate in a whitewater raft down Breakneck Bend.
00:12:27Nice.
00:12:28What's Breakneck Bend?
00:12:30Class IV rapids, towering waves, pummeling falls.
00:12:34It's going to be a wild ride, and I can't wait to plunge right in.
00:12:46I'm sorry.
00:12:47All this water talk is so…
00:12:50Will you excuse me?
00:12:54Whitewater rafting?
00:12:55Yeah!
00:12:57I'm so excited to be back.
00:12:59I love the fact that you said…
00:13:02Luggage.
00:13:03Luggage.
00:13:04Where did they put the luggage?
00:13:05Oh, yes!
00:13:19Marilyn, hi!
00:13:21Maya, are you there?
00:13:22Electric called me and told me that you were late.
00:13:24Car service had trouble finding the place.
00:13:27It's in the mountains.
00:13:29In the mountains.
00:13:30Two hours of gravel road.
00:13:32I mean, the wheels almost didn't make it.
00:13:35And neither did mine.
00:13:36So, how's it going?
00:13:38Well, turns out Allegra made a mistake asking me here,
00:13:41so I was just about to leave.
00:13:43Everyone has way more experience in the outdoors.
00:13:47I mean, they've been to Antarctica.
00:13:49They fight wildfires.
00:13:51Lewis surfs in Chicago.
00:13:53I mean, they're the ones who should…
00:13:55Wait, the firefighter.
00:13:56Who is that?
00:13:57Matt Meyer?
00:13:58Zesta West?
00:13:59You know him?
00:14:01He single-handedly fought off a wildfire
00:14:03that threatened to destroy Allegra's beach house.
00:14:05If anyone's getting the Highlight Reel contract, it's him.
00:14:07Well, he's very rude.
00:14:09Rude or not, he is her biggest hero
00:14:11and our biggest competition.
00:14:13It's impossible for me to impress Allegra
00:14:15under these circumstances.
00:14:17It's like Survivor,
00:14:18and I'll be the first one voted off the island.
00:14:21You're going to do great.
00:14:22You're the second hardest worker I know.
00:14:25Who's number one?
00:14:26Me.
00:14:28Now, do you want this promotion or not?
00:14:30Are you saying the executive position is mine
00:14:33if Allegra gives us Highlight Reel?
00:14:36Secure the project,
00:14:37and you will have a much better job when you get back.
00:14:41Have fun.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:51You looking for the guest lodges?
00:14:52Hi, Jim Verdetta.
00:14:53I own the Whitewater Lodge.
00:14:55Oh, hi Jim.
00:14:56Maya.
00:14:57Nice to meet you, Maya.
00:14:58I was just, uh...
00:15:00Oh.
00:15:02Little advice.
00:15:03If you take that way,
00:15:05it's just going to go back to the same old.
00:15:07But if you take this way,
00:15:08it could be towards the greatest adventure of your life.
00:15:11And when your hand's at something like that,
00:15:13you should probably just take it.
00:15:16I must have been turned around.
00:15:18Yeah, of course.
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:20Tell you what, if you ever get turned around
00:15:22on these parts again and need to find your way back,
00:15:24you can use one of these.
00:15:27Pocket watch?
00:15:29It's a compass.
00:15:30Right.
00:15:31Thanks.
00:15:32You're welcome.
00:15:33Tell you what, I will take this to your room.
00:15:35We have the finest beds inside of Regal River.
00:15:37Actually, the only beds inside of Regal River.
00:15:39Unless, of course, you count the forest bed.
00:15:45What's a forest bed?
00:15:47Ha ha ha!
00:15:56Thank you, Maya.
00:15:57Very thoughtful.
00:15:58You're welcome.
00:15:59Man, look, when you catch the perfect wave,
00:16:02it is the best.
00:16:03I'm telling you.
00:16:04It is so, so good.
00:16:06Maya from Manhattan?
00:16:08Again?
00:16:09It's just Maya.
00:16:11Okay.
00:16:12Just Maya.
00:16:13I know who you are.
00:16:14You're the reason the Time for Love dating app went viral last year.
00:16:17Actually, my entire team deserves credit for that.
00:16:20Okay, but the Times did the expose on you.
00:16:22I'm a New Yorker.
00:16:23No one in the city has time for love,
00:16:25so I suggested that the window of availability be shorter.
00:16:29Okay, so you thought two minutes to make a good impression was fair.
00:16:33I pitched one.
00:16:34Most of us can judge first impressions in an instant.
00:16:39So that's what you're doing.
00:16:41You're here trying to make a good impression on Allegra.
00:16:47Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to wear a hat at dinner?
00:16:51Yeah, maybe.
00:16:52In New York.
00:16:53But out West, we're a little more laid back.
00:16:55And besides, it's not just a hat.
00:16:57It's...
00:16:59It's my lucky hat.
00:17:00Oh, yeah?
00:17:01Is that because it belonged to Babe Ruth?
00:17:03Because it looks about 100 years old.
00:17:04You know, it's smart to wear a hat in the woods.
00:17:06You don't want to get bitten by a tick.
00:17:07Or worse.
00:17:08Don't you have a fire to put out or something?
00:17:10No, currently I'm trying to figure out
00:17:11why a city girl like you is at a wilderness retreat.
00:17:14Because I was invited.
00:17:15And I'm trying to bond with my co-workers
00:17:18and enjoy the great outdoors.
00:17:20That's wonderful.
00:17:21You have a bug on your shoulder.
00:17:25Okay.
00:17:26I am retiring early
00:17:29because we have to get up at dawn for a safety meeting
00:17:31before we head out.
00:17:33I will see you two in the morning.
00:17:35Huh?
00:17:36Good night!
00:17:39Whoa, whoa, where are you going?
00:17:40I thought the whole point was to bond with your co-workers.
00:17:42Maybe tomorrow.
00:17:48Hello?
00:17:50Any bugs?
00:17:52Any bears?
00:18:06I'm sorry.
00:18:07I'm sorry.
00:18:08I'm sorry.
00:18:09I'm sorry.

00:19:13I'm sorry.
00:19:14I'm sorry.
00:19:15I'm sorry.
00:19:16I'm sorry.
00:19:17I'm sorry.
00:19:18I'm sorry.
00:19:19I'm sorry.
00:19:20I'm sorry.
00:19:21I'm sorry.
00:19:22I'm sorry.
00:19:23I'm sorry.
00:19:24I'm sorry.
00:19:25I'm sorry.
00:19:26I'm sorry.
00:19:27I'm sorry.
00:19:28I'm sorry.
00:19:29I'm sorry.
00:19:30I'm sorry.
00:19:31I'm sorry.
00:19:32I'm sorry.
00:19:33I'm sorry.
00:19:34I'm sorry.
00:19:35I'm sorry.
00:19:36I'm sorry.
00:19:37I'm sorry.
00:19:39I'm sorry.
00:19:43Coffee
00:19:56You're going to be wearing your safety equipment at all times
00:19:58and making sure that it fits properly and is secure.
00:20:01secure. Extra-hot, two milks, one sugar, just how you like it. I had my coffee
00:20:07hours ago. I'll take one.
00:20:15Nice pants. Okay, now the Regal River runs east to west with the occasional eddy.
00:20:21Luckily for us, the snowpack is melting this time of year. Yay! The waters will be
00:20:27strong. If you ever hear me yell high side, that's a signal for everybody to
00:20:32move to where? Maya, yes? The front. Maybe. Matt? The high side. Correct, Matt. You win
00:20:45the prize. We all move to the high side to level the raft in a lasted effort to
00:20:49keep it from capsizing. If you are thrown from the raft, please don't panic. Just
00:20:55go into what we call lawn chair position. Toes up, face up, go down the
00:20:59river feet first until we come over and pull you into the raft. Okay, we're gonna
00:21:05be making several stops along the way where we'll set up camp, so I promise you
00:21:09this is gonna be both fun and challenging. So as always, safety first.
00:21:15Yes, yes, yes, good job. All right, let's rendezvous here at 0900. That'll give
00:21:22some of us a little extra time to get organized. Hey, you need a hand?
00:21:35Everyone, I'd like your attention please. Let's have a moment of silence for what
00:21:42we're about to experience. So I'd like you all to close your eyes and just
00:21:46listen. Listen for that rumble in the distance. Feel it, connect to it. That
00:21:53sound of raw, untamed energy is the river at its most unforgiving. Take a deep
00:21:59breath and just try to remember this moment. As we navigate these rapids
00:22:04together, let that rumble guide you. It's not just water, it's a force that we'll
00:22:10conquer together, but always with respect for its power.
00:22:16Okay, let's load up. Do it.
00:22:25Laria, you all right? Yeah, I think I'm gonna sit this one out. Wait, you're bailing?
00:22:34No, I'm not technically bailing. It's just that I would prefer to commune with
00:22:40nature peacefully rather than with big adrenaline rushes. Okay, totally fine.
00:22:48Hey, listen, there's a path along the river. Follow that. You'll only be
00:22:53about 20 minutes behind us. Now, don't mind the bears. Okay, yeah, I'll see you there.
00:23:01Have fun with the rapids!
00:23:16Hey, Maya, how was the hike? It was quite peaceful, actually. You know there's no
00:23:22pressure to do any more rafting if you don't want to. There's plenty to do at
00:23:25the lodge and I can have one of the guides walk you back if you like, anytime.
00:23:28Oh, well, thanks, Jim. I'll keep that in mind. Oh, and we set up a change then for you.
00:23:33Okay, everyone, gather round! Okay, so this beautiful piece of land will serve as our
00:23:44camp for the night. Each of you will have your own site, but you have to figure out
00:23:48which direction it's in. The directions of your sites are on your maps. Whoever
00:23:53finds theirs and sets up first, wins.
00:24:10Aha! Found it! Yes! Okay. Sorry, Maya, I think this one's mine.
00:24:17How do you know that? Oh, well, my compass. I have one of those, too. How does this thing
00:24:25work? Oh, well, you hold it level in your hand like this. Yeah. Oh, north, south, east,
00:24:32west. Like our offices. Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? That's my passion at Vesta, too.
00:24:38Directions? Locations. I pitched the precise location feature on Highlight
00:24:43Reel a couple months ago. That was your idea? That was me. That's a really exciting addition
00:24:48to the app. Congratulations. Well, thanks. Hey, let's see if we can find your real-world
00:24:53campsite, huh? Okay. Okay, so hold it level. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. See if it's nice.
00:24:58Great! Now we're talking. Whew. Great.
00:25:26It's easier to lay the tent flat than work the poles through it. Okay, I don't need help.
00:25:33Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, no, it looks like you have everything under control. Lots of tenting
00:25:39in Manhattan, I see. Someone already won? Looks like it. Ugh, gross. Well done. Thank
00:25:55you. Is that a doormat? It is. Took some fallen branches and just wove them together.
00:26:00Well, Claire won for speed, but you definitely get the creativity award. Fine outdoorsman
00:26:05indeed. Thank you. And don't forget to look up. What's that? Bear bin. Keeps your food
00:26:12away from hungry critters. Bears? Yep, finally put my cub scout skills to work. Bears. Visiting?
00:26:22Very clever. Don't worry, Maya. If you see a bear, you just make yourself as big as possible.
00:26:29Slowly back away. No problem. Well, that just leaves one campsite for assessment. I was
00:26:37going for more of an outdoor experience. The stumps help keep most of it off the ground
00:26:46for dryness and more of a comfy sleep and away from the bugs. I think I was missing
00:26:54a few pieces to really complete the vision. Well, um, I'm not sure how much sleep you're
00:27:01going to get, but, uh, I find it to be very, uh, inventive. Yes. Perhaps you'll find more
00:27:07success in our next challenge. I can't wait. Personally, I like it. Wow. Who built this?
00:27:25Myself and my team. It took three years of planning, two years to build. All part of
00:27:29the whitewater lodge experience. All right, everyone, time for your challenge. And this
00:27:34time we're going to partner up. Claire and Lewis, Maya and Matt. This challenge will
00:27:42be all about teamwork and trust. You're going to be leading each other across the ropes.
00:27:48Blindfolded. Let's see what you got. Well, I think you should go first. No, no, I insist.
00:28:04Oh, come on. You'll be fine. I'll say steady until your foot's in place. And when your
00:28:08foot's in place, I'll say set. You put it down, step forward. Okay. Is there a problem
00:28:13up there? Uh, no, just, uh, enjoying the view. Great view. Kind of. And heel in place. Steady.
00:28:21Set. Good. That's it. Left foot up. Heel in place. Set. Everything okay? Oh, yeah. I just,
00:28:31I forgot my circus shoes at home. Steady. Are we close? Yeah. Almost there. Okay. Steady.
00:28:45Set. That's it. Steady. Set. Look at you go. Oh, yeah. Look at me. Steady. Set. Nice.
00:28:53Look, you're doing it. Steady. Set. You got it. Right foot up and you'll feel the platform.
00:29:03There you go. There you go. You got it. Come on. Yes, it is. You are ready. Okay, here I go. Am
00:29:15I set? You're set. All right. Steady. Set. Oh, looking great. I'm really proud of you.
00:29:26Set. Good. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You got it. You got it. Okay. And
00:29:33whoa. I thought you said set. I thought you were ready.
00:29:38Ah, he's okay. Yeah, I'm so sorry to keep you hanging. Oh, good. You're making jokes.
00:29:46That's funny. I like that. I'm this funny. You look great. Well, I'm gonna go get some help.
00:29:57One, two challenges in a row. Way to go, Claire. Anything to get the shot. I mean,
00:30:03look at this view. Wow. I've never seen so many shades of green. You're a great photographer.
00:30:10Thank you. I just love capturing nature in its raw, unfiltered beauty. You know, I was just
00:30:15thinking nature doesn't need a filter. That would look great on someone's highlight reel, right? I
00:30:21am so grateful that Allegra took on my suggestion. I want our future to be one that celebrates the
00:30:27beauty in imperfections. As someone with a younger sister, I couldn't agree more.
00:30:32So filterless photos was your idea? Well, I got the inspiration when I was in Antarctica.
00:30:38Nature just doesn't make mistakes.
00:30:43Okay, so even though this weekend is all about bonding, I love a little friendly competition,
00:30:50so I've been keeping score. Yes, ma'am. Will there be a prize for the highest score?
00:30:57Prize? Like what? Uh, I don't know. Maybe something we would all want? Huh. Well,
00:31:07I'll have to see how many Vesta mugs we have in storage.
00:31:11Now, some of you have dominated the individual challenges. Claire.
00:31:18And on the high wire, I was able to see how well you work together. So this next set of challenges,
00:31:23you'll be working with your partner as a team. Jim did a really excellent job building this
00:31:29name board. So for every challenge you win, you'll move up the leaderboard. And for every
00:31:36challenge you lose, the negative points will move you down. Okay? You're going down.
00:31:47We're a team.
00:31:54Good morning, miss. I hope you all like hot dogs. We do. Here you go. So Allegra,
00:32:00tell us about how you started Vesta. Oh, you guys don't want to hear that story. Oh, come on.
00:32:07Hey, this was just when social media was starting. So I wanted to meet new friends.
00:32:15I wanted to meet new friends, not just friends, the ones I knew.
00:32:19Is that when you started schoolmates? That's how it happened. And now Vesta has
00:32:24dozens of apps over multiple platforms, but it all started with a desire to connect.
00:32:31It's really brilliant. How do you do it all? I can't tell you the last time I had a holiday.
00:32:39Except for this weekend. You're not working this weekend, right?
00:32:45Right. No, I'm not working this weekend. Anyway, enough about me. I want to know about you.
00:32:52The final challenge of the day is random words of kindness. Tell us
00:32:57traits about your partner that you admire. Actually, you know, I would like to start
00:33:02on this one, if I may. I think it's obvious to everybody that Allegra is intelligent,
00:33:10kind, funny, thoughtful, poised. I'm blushing.
00:33:16Just getting started here. I've also watched her be fearless, independent and really eager to learn.
00:33:24So this is why I'm going to declare Allegra my partner for the rest of the adventure.
00:33:30I think it'd be a lot more fun for everyone if Allegra was alongside. And
00:33:39wow. Well, thank you for this promotion. I hope to be a worthy partner.
00:33:49Moving along the circle, Maya, what do you have to say about your partner, Matt?
00:33:58Matt. He's, um.
00:34:01Um. He's Matt. That's my name.
00:34:13What I mean by that is. He's confident.
00:34:18He can make a fire. Well, thanks, Maya. That was heartfelt.
00:34:49So.
00:35:07Thank you. Thank you. What a night. What a trip. It's only fitting that my last run down
00:35:15Regal River would be my best. You mean your last run down Regal River?
00:35:20Uh, well, it seems that tourists prefer warm sun and white sand over whitewater. So we're
00:35:29shutting down the lodge next month. But the season isn't over yet. I know, but I made the
00:35:36difficult decision to shut the lodge down a few months ago, and I at least wanted to accommodate
00:35:41your group. And I'm glad I did. Thank you.
00:35:51Lewis, that was fantastic. A lovely way to end the evening. Thank you. Yeah. Lewis, that was
00:35:57incredible. I'm sorry. I'm going to go to bed if I ever want to move up from last position. Um.
00:36:03Good night. Good night, Maya. Good night. We should all go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow.
00:36:12Okay. Hi. Hi. I'm here. I'm here. Tell me Allegra loves you. You're besties,
00:36:20and she's giving you the contract. She's, uh, warming up to me. Warming up? Things should
00:36:25be boiling by now. You should be wearing those BFF necklaces and be going for pedicures.
00:36:30I could go for a pedicure. Maya, I'm sorry. It's just that all these other Vesta employees are,
00:36:39like, really impressive. I sure hope you have notes for me. Uh, yeah. Um, okay. There's Lewis.
00:36:47He's from Vesta North in Chicago. Nice guy. Uh, he's a great guitarist, and he designed the
00:36:56location tag for Highlight Reel. Location guy. Okay, so he won't get lost, but, oh, he wears
00:37:02glasses. I bet they could go missing. You want me to hide his glasses? I'm just saying that maybe
00:37:08they could get misplaced. In the river. Uh, Claire is from, um, Houston. She's sweet and smart.
00:37:20Filterless photos was her idea. And she's a great photographer. Is she taking pictures? Yeah.
00:37:26Start taking pictures, Maya. I need you to be snapping selfies like you're getting paid to
00:37:30promote trees. Why? Claire is obviously assembling an arsenal, and I need you to do the same.
00:37:37Because when Allegra launches Highlight Reel, I need your pictures attached to the profile.
00:37:42Nature influencer. I got it. Um, and then there's Matt. You paused. I, I what? You said,
00:37:55and then there's Matt, and you paused like you were lost in a daydream.
00:38:00No, I'm, I'm not daydreaming. It's just, it's, Matt's just, um. Handsome, charming, and a great dancer.
00:38:10Maya, I've seen him work his magic at many a holiday party. It's an act. Like a Venus fly
00:38:18trap. He sets a very safe and inviting atmosphere, and then don't fall for it. You're smarter than
00:38:24that. It's just that we're on the same team. It would be hard to try to get rid of him and
00:38:31finish in first place. Competition too tough for you? No. Maybe it's not a competition. Maybe
00:38:39Allegra is just trying to. It is a competition. Trust me. It's dog eat dog, and you better start
00:38:45eating or you're going to be dinner. What's this? We're showing the most delicious dog treats
00:38:57on the market. We'd like to place an order. Oh, what's going on? I just, I can't seem to.
00:39:03Oh, it's all about the spark. Here it goes. Thanks. Pretty amazing view, huh?
00:39:16Yeah. Yeah. Oh, gotta take a picture.
00:39:23Morning, guys. How'd you sleep? Like a baby. Ah, you know, I never understood that saying.
00:39:29I'm the oldest of five siblings, and let me tell you, babies do not like to sleep.
00:39:35Well then, I slept like a baby. Lots on my mind, you know, shutting down the lodge.
00:39:42Never really said it out loud until I told all of you last night.
00:39:45Do you know what you're going to do instead? I've spent most of my days out here alone.
00:39:51Seen a lot of people come, a lot of people go. Well, sometimes I wonder if I've let
00:39:58life and love pass me by. Well, it's never too late to start something new.
00:40:06Look at me. Look at Allegra. She might seem more interested in eliminating analog
00:40:13instead of actual logs, but the retreat was her idea. You might be right. Sometimes our
00:40:22differences end up complementing each other the most. Well, you know what they say, opposites
00:40:26attract. Hey, you know what you should do? Bring Allegra her morning coffee.
00:40:34Really? Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. Okay. All right. Hey, Jim, that's a lot of eggs. You
00:40:41cooking breakfast for a giant? These eggs are not for scrambling.
00:41:04Nice. Nice demo, Matt. Endurance, precision, plain and simple. It's a race. Every time you
00:41:14hit the bullseye, 30 seconds will be taken off your final time. Balancing an egg on a spoon,
00:41:21you will take it from this central station to a target area further down the path where you must
00:41:27hit six targets. After a successful hit, return for another egg. You drop the egg,
00:41:33you come back. You miss the target, you come back. Are you ready? And go.
00:41:43Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. So, what's with all the pictures you keep taking?
00:41:52I'm just making memories. Oh, yeah. I'm sure you can't wait to get home and relive this whole thing.
00:41:56What's that supposed to mean? It means whatever you're doing here, it's clearly not to enjoy the
00:42:00great outdoors. So, whatever angle you're playing, I'm not going to let you stop and touch me again.
00:42:05I'm here for the great outdoors. I love wilderness.
00:42:09So close.
00:42:26So
00:42:36good.
00:42:55Oh.
00:43:15You've got a little egg on your face. Literally or metaphorically? Literally.
00:43:19So, have you decided if you're going to be going on with the raft?
00:43:26It's going to be considerably rougher from here on out.
00:43:30The offer to walk back still stands. Oh, I'll be riding the waves till the very end. Good.
00:43:39But I may need two or three more of these.
00:43:42Two or three more of these.
00:43:58You're gonna be fine. It's actually a lot of fun.
00:44:02Fun? Yeah, fun. No, fun is trying to find a seat on the subway during rush hour. This is not fun.
00:44:12It's not fun.
00:44:42Are you loving this?
00:44:59One, two, three.
00:45:05See, I told you it was going to be fun. It was pretty fun. I saw you smiling.
00:45:12Hurrah. Let's take a selfie.
00:45:30Yeah, I thought I'd be further up the leaderboard. I hit three bullseyes.
00:45:34You also egged your partner. Right. That was unfortunate. Sorry, Maya.
00:45:42Well, I might be in last place, but I set up my tent and that is a win for me.
00:45:48Well, that was quite the wild ride downriver today, huh?
00:45:54So, our next challenge will be more of a reward.
00:45:58Something where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
00:46:04I'm just gonna straighten out my name.
00:46:09Excuse me.
00:46:12Oh, yeah. There it is. It's a lot better.
00:46:18You got this!
00:46:21This is going to hold us all the way across?
00:46:24Yeah, industrial strength cables. Couldn't be safer. Unless, of course, we were on the ground.
00:46:30I think I would prefer being blindfolded.
00:46:32All right. Ready?
00:46:35No.
00:46:36Seriously! It's so easy!
00:46:39It really is! Thanks! I feel so much better now.
00:46:43Not helping, Louis.
00:46:45Let's go!
00:46:48You got this, right? On the count of three.
00:46:52One.
00:46:54Go for it!
00:46:54Yeah!
00:46:55You got this, right? On the count of three.
00:46:59One.
00:47:02Sit.
00:47:04Two.
00:47:18Wasn't so bad?
00:47:20Yeah, that was pretty great.
00:47:23Well done.
00:47:24Thank you.
00:47:25That was a close one.
00:47:29Wow.
00:47:30I got this.
00:47:31Pull up with your core!
00:47:35Okay, maybe, maybe, maybe.
00:47:36Uh, I don't know if I can do that one.
00:47:39Yeah, yeah. It, uh, does look a lot more physical than just sitting and screaming,
00:47:47but I, I think it's doable.
00:47:48Okay, sixth grade, we took this class trip to Coney Island,
00:47:54and our cart got stuck on the roller coaster.
00:47:57At the edge of the highest point, six hours later, the fire department was able to get us down.
00:48:03Okay, yeah, that sounds terrifying, but that is not this.
00:48:10You can do this. Hey, we, we can do this.
00:48:13We can do this.
00:48:14We can do this.
00:48:14We can do this.
00:48:15We can do this.
00:48:16We can do this.
00:48:16We can do this.
00:48:17We can do this.
00:48:17We can do this.
00:48:18Hey, we, we can do this.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:23All right, look, we haven't won a challenge yet.
00:48:26This, this is our chance.
00:48:29I'll even take a video.
00:48:30I'm sure it'll impress whoever you're taking all these photos for.
00:48:33What do you say?
00:48:34I got it.
00:48:35Yeah?
00:48:35Yeah, I got it.
00:48:40I'm sorry.
00:48:42I can't.
00:48:48So
00:49:18the number one.
00:49:20Bad news is we were burgled by a bear.
00:49:22Seems that somebody left their food in the tent, which attracted said bear.
00:49:26Now nobody's to blame, but unfortunately, the bear
00:49:30did make off with our provisions for dinner tonight.
00:49:33All right, so what's the good news?
00:49:35I guess the good news is tonight's dinner as you catch it, you eat it.
00:49:40Gourmet meal forged from the bounty of the wild.
00:49:42So after we finished cleaning up this mess here, I'm going to teach you how to fish.
00:49:49I hate Lewis.
00:49:50I found your glasses.
00:49:52You left them on the platform.
00:49:55Thank you, Maya.
00:49:56I was worried there might be a bear out there wearing my glasses.
00:49:59I couldn't do anything without these.
00:50:01Thank you.
00:50:01Welcome.
00:50:14Hey, look at you getting the hang of it.
00:50:19Thanks.
00:50:22Hey, sorry about my panic attack.
00:50:27You're going to apologize.
00:50:29Besides, tell you the truth.
00:50:33I don't want to be up there anyway.
00:50:36Being completely honest, I'm a little afraid of heights.
00:50:41Yeah, don't tell anyone.
00:50:44Okay.
00:50:48Fish!
00:50:51That was fast.
00:50:51Okay, slow, slow.
00:50:53Reel it in.
00:50:54That's it.
00:50:54That's it.
00:50:54Give it some slack for once to run.
00:50:56That's it.
00:50:56You're doing great.
00:50:58Okay, surfacing.
00:50:59It's a...
00:51:02Branch.
00:51:03Yeah, it's a branch.
00:51:04Oh.
00:51:06You know what?
00:51:07I wouldn't worry about it.
00:51:08You know, fishing is not for everybody.
00:51:10But there is another way you can contribute to dinner.
00:51:13Lucky for us, it's mushroom season.
00:51:15And there should be plenty to harvest south side of that slope.
00:51:17Here's a little tip.
00:51:18Check out the base of Douglas firs.
00:51:20You remember what those look like?
00:51:22Like the ones who need a moisturizing mud mask.
00:51:26Uh, yes.
00:51:30Okay.
00:51:30Matt, why don't you go with her and I'll be back before sundown.
00:51:33Let's go.
00:51:34Have fun.
00:51:34Bring the basket.
00:51:36And the log for dinner.
00:51:37Great.
00:51:43Hey, did you find anything yet?
00:51:45Just these.
00:51:47Ah, it's a pine cone.
00:51:50And that is bark.
00:51:51Well, I just don't want to show up empty-handed.
00:51:57I bet you there's a lot of mushrooms over there.
00:52:00No.
00:52:00No, come on.
00:52:01Look at all the Douglas firs.
00:52:04I would not cross this bridge
00:52:05if there's guaranteed treasure on the other side.
00:52:09It would be a great photo.
00:52:13No, that's your thing, not mine, okay?
00:52:15You want to come to Queens in the middle of the night?
00:52:17I'm your gal.
00:52:18But I am not stepping foot on this bridge.
00:52:21I don't like heights either.
00:52:23But we can do this.
00:52:25Together.
00:52:29What do you think?
00:52:30I can't believe I'm gonna...
00:52:32Okay.
00:52:32That's it.
00:52:34Easy.
00:52:37Easy.
00:52:42It's actually way higher than I thought.
00:52:44Yeah?
00:52:44Oh, great, great.
00:52:45Thanks.
00:52:47What, what, what, what, what is it?
00:52:49What is it?
00:52:50It's incredible.
00:52:58Wow.
00:53:04Wow.
00:53:06Thank you.
00:53:11You see over there?
00:53:12Wow.
00:53:13That comes around.
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:19Are you sure we can eat these?
00:53:20Well, let's ask Jim.
00:53:21Who decided this anyway?
00:53:23I mean, was it someone who just said,
00:53:25hey, these could kill you or these can make you feel sick
00:53:29or these would go great with steak?
00:53:33Whoa.
00:53:35Do you hear that?
00:53:37What is that?
00:53:39It sounds like a waterfall.
00:53:41Come on.
00:53:46That's it.
00:53:49All right.
00:53:53Wow.
00:53:57What do you think?
00:54:00I love it.
00:54:02Can't find this back home.
00:54:05I could stand here all day.
00:54:09Maya from Manhattan.
00:54:12Why do you keep calling me that?
00:54:14I don't know.
00:54:15You called me Malibu Matt.
00:54:16Thought it was some East Coast term of endearment thing.
00:54:19Like Johnny from the block.
00:54:22I mean, I could stop if it bothers you.
00:54:25Nah, it's okay.
00:54:26I kind of like it.
00:54:28I can't believe tomorrow's our last day.
00:54:31I know.
00:54:31I don't want it to end.
00:54:35Hey, do you want me to take a photo of you?
00:54:37I mean, you haven't taken one all day.
00:54:39Huh.
00:54:41I guess I've just been too busy enjoying myself.
00:54:45Besides, some things are best kept where they are.
00:54:51I completely agree.
00:54:53As much as I love our little oasis, we should probably get back.
00:54:59Yeah, back to our cutthroat corporate retreat with death defying challenges.
00:55:05Woo!
00:55:06Uh, it's just me, or does it feel like we're going in the wrong direction?
00:55:10No, it's the same path we took right before we crossed the bridge.
00:55:14Are you sure? Because if we go in that direction, we're not going to get a cab.
00:55:21Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:24All right.
00:55:24Okay.
00:55:30What if we just go back the right way?
00:55:32the same path we took right before we crossed the bridge.
00:55:35Are you sure? Because I think we took a couple wrong turns back there.
00:55:38What? Wrong turn? No, no.
00:55:40Uh, it's possible this is the scenic route.
00:55:46Or it's possible we're lost.
00:55:50Yeah, I think we might be lost.
00:55:58I've cracked the code for the most delicious dog treats on the market.
00:56:03Stop saying we're lost.
00:56:05Yes.
00:56:06Yeah.
00:56:06Yeah, because we're just exploring alternative routes.
00:56:10By going the wrong direction.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:15Direction.
00:56:18Wait, you have a compass?
00:56:21North. Okay, Jim said that the mushrooms were on the south facing slope.
00:56:27Okay.
00:56:28The Regal River runs east to west, which means...
00:56:33Follow me.
00:56:34Okay, and you're sure it's this way?
00:56:36Yes, absolutely. I mean, it's got to be this way, right?
00:56:38How long do we have to come this way?
00:56:39Well, that's beside the point.
00:56:40The whole time?
00:56:55We're back.
00:56:57You did it.
00:56:58I am impressed.
00:57:00I am, too.
00:57:03Hey, guys.
00:57:05Hey, glad to see you two back.
00:57:10We thought you got lost.
00:57:12Lost in the moment.
00:57:18Found some mushrooms.
00:57:19Oh yeah, I got a basket full of tricks.
00:57:22Cedar bark.
00:57:24I wasn't sure if it was...
00:57:26Perfect.
00:57:26See? It's perfect.
00:57:30It's perfect.
00:57:32Okay.
00:57:33For our next challenge, we're going to be calling on our culinary skills.
00:57:39Lewis and Claire caught not one, but two steelhead salmon.
00:57:43So we each get to prepare a filet.
00:57:47Allegra stores some violets, wild greens, and chicken of the woods.
00:57:50And we do actually have some pantry items that are bare left behind.
00:57:54Oh, and Maya and Matt scavenged some really great goodies for us to try.
00:58:25So,
00:58:25we're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:27We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:29We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:31We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:33We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:35We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:37We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:39We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:41We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:43We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:45We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:47We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:49We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:51We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:54We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:58:56We're going to be doing a little bit of a challenge.
00:59:12Let's see if I know how to acknowledge this land
00:59:14and this food
00:59:16and everyone here.
00:59:20I've been thinking.
00:59:22going on in us than is seen on the surface and like the waters it's okay to
00:59:29sometimes just go with the flow and sometimes life can get a little bit rough
00:59:36like headed straight toward a rock rough but if we can hold on to the people
00:59:43closest to us and calmer waters are just around the corner beautiful so since we
00:59:53know each other a little bit better now maybe we could have another round of
00:59:58random words of kindness oh yeah can I go first yeah all right what can I say
01:00:06about my teammates Maya from Manhattan smart yes stylish of course independent
01:00:16absolutely but what I've had the honor of witnessing this weekend is it's
01:00:22actually so much more she's courageous tenacious challenges you to be your very
01:00:31best and if it wasn't for Maya well I might be a few spots higher on the
01:00:37leaderboard but I'd also be completely lost without her
01:01:01you
01:01:31you
01:01:53he makes me so happy but is he ever gonna pop the question Emmanuel Vosier
01:01:58on the high wires again you're gonna be sorry stop we're here okay
01:02:05right oh not bad right apparently the year's best meteor shower happens

01:03:09want a five siblings including me but I'm the oldest so in my family I'm the
01:03:15first to do a lot of things like what I'm the first to graduate college nice
01:03:23the first to own my own apartment and the first to not be married and have
01:03:31kids by 25 is that something you want you know eventually absolutely yeah I
01:03:43just know that kids are a lot of work and I love my work so there'll be a few
01:03:49challenges I think one day you're gonna make a great mom besides you're like a
01:03:57professional problem solver so who told you that um I might have cyberstalked
01:04:06you not in a creepy way just you know for research you did uh-huh why I don't
01:04:15know I I had this silly idea that you were trying to make me look bad you know
01:04:21that we were competing for something other than points on a leaderboard I
01:04:25know it's crazy but I just know now that you're really driven you were competing
01:04:32with yourself Matt there's one see it did you make a wish

01:05:41oh nice okay make a wish
01:05:51so what is it this one I'm keeping for myself
01:06:08I wish I could go back in time and relive this whole weekend all over again I would pay good
01:06:13money for that or just the chance to come back here I did a search for the Whitewater Lodge
01:06:18and aside from a couple reviews Jim has almost no web presence no wonder his bookings are low
01:06:23really yeah I feel like the whole world should see this spectacular place
01:06:29I wonder if there's a way we could get the word out we only have one day left plus I don't know
01:06:34if I'm going to participate in something that has the word breakneck in it yeah well things
01:06:40are about to get real wait
01:06:45highlight real real people real places real life what if we add a real-time element to it
01:06:57we launch the app with a live stream of the raft through breakneck bend you know a group
01:07:02of techies taking on a class four rapids I mean could go viral right yeah and if we
01:07:08geotagged the lodge with Lewis's feature I mean the lodge would get massive exposure
01:07:14should we pitch this we should pitch this okay okay well tomorrow morning we'll talk to Allegra

01:08:16pitching the launch tomorrow in conjunction with our last day here adding a real-time
01:08:21element to the app and live streaming the raft through breakneck bend I think the times will

01:08:34up with the idea so it's a collaboration between Vesta East and West oh yeah
