Oprah cooks dinner

As night falls, Oprah decides to cook dinner over the campfire—without using the recipes the team left for her. "As I'm opening the food tins, I see there's fresh basil, there's tarragon, there's beets," Oprah says. "I would have been happy making sandwiches. As I learned, that is what most people are doing. And I would say if you're going to go camping that is what you should do."

Watch Oprah cook dinner

Oprah settles on sea bass and rosemary potatoes. When Lisa sees that Oprah isn't cooking her fish correctly, producer Eric stops her from stepping in. "It's kind of funny if it burns or something," he says.

After some trial and error, Oprah and Gayle sit down to dinner. "Cheers," Oprah says. "[To] our first camping trip...and maybe our last."
