They are all on a beach somewhere at dusk, making buffalo kebabs. Nathan does not look happy with his buffalo kebab. In an interview, he says that the people of Nepal should "worship the water buffalo, because it tastes like poo, and eat the cow, because it's good." Hee! He said "poo." Way to impose your belief system on another culture, hick.
It's nighttime, and a group of villagers are singing and dancing. Rebecca voice-overs that the woman are beautiful, and their bodies are different. They're not "emaciated stick figures" and they show off their full bellies. I'm going to buy Rebecca a copy of The Beauty Myth for Christmas. She is seriously surprised that non-Western cultures don't worship anorexic females as ours does? One of the women puts her scarf on Rebecca's head, and all the villager women laugh at silly Rebecca. Dude, they are totally ripping on her. She pretends like they're laughing with her, and not at her. Rebecca and Irene dance with the women. Rebecca says she wants to learn as much about their culture as possible. Yeah, we'll see if she's all studying when she gets back to Seattle. I seem to remember her hooking up with Sir "Baby Got Back" Mix-A-Lot. Although, I guess he celebrates full figures too, doesn't he?
The next day, the gang goes white-water rafting. Stephen comments on how beautiful and peaceful the surroundings are, and says he wants some action. Cue shots of the raft taking on some rapids. Maybe Stephen will get vaulted overboard and hit his head on a rock! Oh, he's wearing a helmet. Too bad. Over shots of the roommates in the raft, Nathan voice-overs that they "went white-water rafting all day." Insert snide comment about how dumb the editors think we are here. Nathan says he doesn't know what he did to be so lucky, to get to do the cool things that he is doing. Join the club, Nate-dawg. Cue the footage of the roommates pushing each other into the water, acting zany and wacky. David points out a monkey up on the cliff. Nathan makes some monkey noises, and then says, "That's crazy. A monkey just sitting on a rock." If he got any dumber, he'd have to wear a helmet. Oh wait, he is wearing a helmet. Good.
