Gypsy-Rose Blanchardis trying something new!

Blanchard — who has her own reality show,Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, on the network — says in the video, “If you’ve seen episode one, you know I am a picky eater.”

At that point, Blanchard appears shocked. She removes her glasses and tries it again, doing a classic caviar bump with Urker. This time, the dish does not go down smoothly as she leans her body off camera and gags.

“You just ate it and you loved it,” Urker argues while Blanchard reaches for a bottle of water to drown out the fishy taste.

Next, the reality star tries a tray of fried food, including fried zucchini and fried octopus. “I like it,” she says of the battered vegetable. As for the octopus, as soon as she tastes it, she proclaims, “That’s seafood.”

“Look at it,” Urker says, holding a piece of fried octopus. “See the little tentacles,” while Blanchard screeches in horror. The taste test continues with calamari, which is served fried and in rings.

“I don’t like that one,” Blanchard says, to which Urker tells her, “Well, that one was also squid. Just a different form.” She then searches around, asking, “Where’s the napkin?”

Lastly, Blanchard tries blue cheese and pear ice cream and theinfamous Dubai chocolate, both of which she approves of. Summarizing her experience, she says, “The caviar was a zero. Caviar, as is just on my hand, zero. Dubai chocolate was a 10, I would eat it again.”

Urker then explains, “That’s one of the things that we love doing together the most. Trying new foods, cooking new foods at home. Expanding her palate to all these different worlds that she’s never tried before.”

The description continues, “In this delayed-coming-of-age story, Gypsy must reconcile the pop-culture, celebrity version of herself while trying to forge her brand-new identity in a “normal” world as wife, sister, daughter and most of all – a free woman.”

Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE ahead of the release of the second season, which premiered on March 10, Blanchard shared theconcern she has as a first-time parentafterwelcoming her daughter Aurorain December 2024.

“Honestly, just kind of taking her out in public a lot,” she said. “We’ve had two or three outings so far. It’s been cold lately, so we have been staying a lot indoors, but with her being so little, I’m nervous just around people.”
