Summary Because the panel of experts felt that no one deserved to graduate following the last set of challenges - Manuel would have if he didn't "kill" the cardboard people and the cardboard moose in the last challenge - there are still five participants remaining vying for the unwanted title of Canada's Worst Driver. Their first challenge is to drive a seven meter cube truck through a course, including backing it up. The back of the truck is filled with breakable items. The participants have the added pressure of having a time limit to complete the course. In driving the course first, Andrew shows that he is not infallible as a driver. But he and the experts hope the participants will use all their necessary resources, including their mirrors and their nominators, who can assist either inside or outside the truck as need be. This challenge proves to be intimidating, leading to self-realized disaster. The second challenge has Andrew first apologizing to the residents of Picton. The participants, for the first time since arriving at the Centre, are to drive a ten turn course through the Town of Picton, having been given verbal directions. The drive should take eight minutes. This challenge is as much to test ability in a real life situation as it is in logic: will any of the participants actually write the directions down? The third challenge is mimicking the situation of driving in winter conditions with snow on the road. This challenge again tests logic in how participants deal with having their car under a pile of snow, what to do when a snowbank impedes the road, and what to do when the car battery is dead. Although the game is specifically for David's benefit to teach confidence in the thought process, all the participants are given time to play with remote control toy cars, trying to maneuver the car around a marked track. In the deliberation, the panel of experts decide to graduate the person who has shown the greatest increase in confidence as well as in logical thinking.
