Road Rules - Europe (1997)

The sexual tension between Antoine and Belou builds. ""I hate you and I love you,"" screams Belou. And what does Antoine's shaving his head bald have to do with all of this? To complete the day's mission, everyone sweats it out preparing a huge fireworks display at the medieval castle in Carcasonne, France. Later, after Chris detonates the $25,000 show, they discover their next clue ... climbing gear? from MTV.com

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! from MTV.com

After Michelle sideswipes Pepe (the Winnie's European nickname) en route, the kids arrive in ultra-chic Cannes and spend the day cleaning the Happy Fox yacht for a private party that evening. To their surprise, when the cleaning is done, they find out the party is for them. One thing remains to make it complete ... dates. The guys compete with the girls as they scour the town for the most attractive folks to invite. Back on the yacht, things get cozy. Next stop ... race for a million. from MTV.com

At Lake Como in Italy, the Road Rulers get fired up for a water sports competition with the Italian ski team for one million lire (about $600). The girls are charmed by Mikele ... the bald, beautiful, and scheming Italian skier, but the guys see right through him. In training, Belou blows up at the others for ""licking Antoine's ass"" (she means 'kissing'), and tension is thick for the competition, in which our heroes put forth a valiant effort, but eventually lose. A remote-control speedboat carries their next clue ... on to Venice! from MTV.com

The hottest love/hate relationship on the tube continues as tempers flare between Belou and Antoine. The ensuing struggle brings the crazy twosome to the brink of Venice's main canal, when Patrice and Chris step in to break it up. The whole gang then whips up a gourmet meal under the direction of Fulvia (the Julia Child of Italy), before their next clue directs them to Belou's hometown -- Amsterdam. (Antoine ... meet Belou's boyfriend, Steve.) from MTV.com

Upon arriving in Amsterdam, the gang wants to crash at Belou's place, but her boyfriend Steve all but turns them out and they end up at a hostel. Clearly, for Belou, there's trouble in paradise. The next day, the roadmates take out their pent-up (OK, sometimes not so pent-up) frustrations in the boxing ring. Afterwards, a stuffed toy seal and a crazy juggler in the park provide their clues to the next mission from MTV.com

During a day of work at the seal rescue center the sick, big-eyed baby seals wriggle their way into the hearts of our heroes. The next morning, the kids swallow the lumps in their throats as they help release ""Jahneke"" and ""Winner"" back into the wild. Back in Amsterdam, Michelle, Chris and Patrice come up with a scheme to make some quick money, and head to a busy intersection with squeegee and Windex in hand to wash windshields for spare change. Next mission....working the runways in Paris! from MTV.com

Our heroes are hyped up to discover that their stint in the glam world of Parisian fashion will be on-stage. The gang is smokin' on the catwalk, and they (finally) make some real cash. Out on the town that evening, Belou gets to know her hot new Chilean friend Pablo. Next time, Belou turns up the heat with her new man. from MTV.com

The gang plays pro surfers for the day in Lacanau, France, competing for a brand spankin new commemorative Road Rules surfboard. After a tough competition, Antoine takes home the booty. Patrice busts out in town and dyes his hair a bright shade of platinum blond, while Chris and Antoine have their hair (temporarily) colored fluorescent red. Next mission: bungee jump off a 300-foot bridge. They accomplish this handily and get ready to head to Ibiza, Spain. from MTV.com
