Sophie Durocher experienced a baptism of fire when she landed in Panama for the second timee Season of Get me out of here!, which airs on TVA starting Sunday, March 3. Despite the dizziness that torments her, she had to cross two sections of the same tower on a steel cable, all at a height of 163 meters or, if you prefer, from 53 meterse Floor of the tallest skyscraper in Central America.
The Journal's culture columnist and QUB presenter asked one of the stuntmen where the best place to look was. We guess staring at the floor definitely wasn't necessary!

“He told me, 'Watch where you're going.'” I thought it was so brilliant. I use it in life now because when you know where you are going, you are not afraid of anything and you keep your goal. It’s a life lesson at the same time,” she told QMI Agency.
Months after filming, Sophie Durocher still thinks about that challenge – in which she took part alongside Philippe Laprise and Sébastien Toutant – as well as other highlights from Sortezme from here!. She remembers that she was capable, that she surpassed herself, and that she is proud of what she accomplished.
During the crossing, she thought about her 15-year-old son, who had told her that she was strong. Thanks to these words, she has overcome the challenge to some extent.
“The opportunity of a lifetime”
It must be said that we were not expecting Sophie Durocher to appear in this show. The woman who will soon be publishing a new neo-feminist essay immediately accepted the invitation, she swears, she who, as a viewer, “loved” the first season in Costa Rica.

“I didn't hesitate for a second and said yes before even talking to Richard about it. [Martineau]”, her lover of the past 21 years, she said. “He said to me, 'Let's see, I would never do that.'” But I wanted to take on this challenge and I wanted people who knew me as a serious girl to see the other side.
She even speaks of the “chance of a lifetime” to experience great moments and take part in a unique experience. “I enjoyed every moment despite the constant heat and mosquitoes!”
“I learned that I have resources that I never knew I had. I’m a pretty strong person in life, but it was a human experience, the worst and the best.”
Confronted with Rosalie Vaillancourt
Sophie Durocher, who says she “hates consensus,” wasn’t offended when Rosalie Vaillancourt didn’t know who she was when she arrived at the camp.
The young comedian even told her that she represents “the public that least agrees with what she writes in her columns.” “But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect these people,” she added. I'm glad there are people who think differently.” Dave Morissette came to the aid of Sophie, who asked him to become her agent. Despite everything, she holds no grudge against Rosalie.
Produced by Productions Déferlantes in collaboration with Québecor Content, the show Sortez-moi d'ici! will be back with season two on TVA on Sunday, March 3 at 6:30 p.m. You can also watch TVA+.
