Episode #1.4

Summary With Tatiana Rheaume being the second graduate, six drivers remain. Of the nominators, Alex, Manuel's friend, wants most to go home, the added pressure which may not help Manuel in achieving the goal. But Ernie, Heather's husband and an ex-big rig driver himself, is the most frustrated, it sometimes to the point of him not being able to sit in the car with her. This in turn frustrates Heather further. The participants' first challenge is one of reversing through an obstacle course in a pick-up truck, with the added pressure of Andrew being an annoying driver in another vehicle. Reversing ends up being a major issue for many of the participants. One gets upset at Andrew for his behavior on this challenge. The second challenge is for the participants, as the passenger, to guide their blindfolded nominator, now the driver, through a course. This challenge is designed to provide the participants with the correct thought process required for driving. The participants that usually rely on their passengers for advice fair the worst. The third challenge is one of clutch control driving up a hill - the drivers are not supposed to brake to a full stop. They are asked to do this test twice, first with Scott as the passenger providing instruction, the second as the car is sandwiched between two slow moving vehicles. Only two of the participants have ever driven a manual transmission car prior to this challenge. This fact may make no difference on who performs the best. And one participant is on the verge of quitting this challenge. As an added fourth challenge, the participants and their nominators are asked to change a flat tire. All make one fundamental mistake. When it comes to graduation time, the panel of experts decide in favor of the participant who demonstrated the biggest shift in attitude.
