Interesting story line and love the way Baywatch can just bring in imaginary friendships at the drop of a hat - Mitch and CJ.

The opening scenes are immense. Rafting (facial close up) and subsequent sax playing (which by the way - I'm now on season 5 and not seen CJ pick up this instrument since - she clearly took with her enough to end up at a river bed playing it so why have we not had a beach scene?).

The greatest Baywatch episode of all time
Ed-28813 August 2000
Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most entertaining Baywatch picture ever. This is partly due to the fact that the action is set away from the beach - in the Colorado river. Erika Eleniak and Billy Warlock steal the show in what was to be their last episode. Their on-screen romance together is incredible. Away from the acting side, the episode also features the Baywatch debuts of a Nicole Eggert and a certain Pamela Anderson.

Where is the river?
dce-57 June 2004
I'm not sure if they name the river in the episode, but the location is intended to be a river in northern California, and not the Colorado River. The show was actually shot on the South Fork of the American River, near Sacramento (northeast of San Francisco). Some of the details of the real river appear in the show. For example, Troublemaker is the real name of the rapid, though it's not nearly as long and harrowing as it seems in the show. Troublemaker is just upstream of the site of the discovery of gold in 1849 that started the well-known California gold rush. There is also a reference to the "Lollipop Tree", which is a lone tree on a hilltop that is used as a landmark for rafters to know when they are about to enter the gorge.

Hobie sings like an angel. They're all greedy for gold. Matt is the new stud in town and Summer knows it. Lots o' rafting.

Oh, and Mitch ogles volleyball players. Great episode. Don't miss it.
