Summary The eight nominees' first challenge is the annual riding the rails challenge, which has each rail the width of a tire and the two rails exactly the width of the vehicle's right and left set of tires apart. Adding a sense of fear, the rails are set over a shallow pond. The nominees have the option of reversing over the rails - the vehicle properly lined up for them if they choose to do so - or driving forward over the rails, in which case they have to align the vehicle themselves. Before their second challenge - the annual eye of the needle challenge at a minimum 60 kph - Philippe provides each with a driving lesson with the main premise being to look where you want to go. Most do heed the lesson, but application of the theory is a little more difficult for some. The third challenge has each reversing a minibus, with the other seven as passengers, through a figure eight course. This challenge tests the nominees' ability to use their mirrors. Ben and Tab should succeed on this challenge as they both do have a license to drive a full sized bus. Some nominees do manage to complete to course without hitting too many things, but did so only on the constant coaching of the passengers. On the panel deliberation, each member has the exact same two nominees shortlisted for graduation. Their ultimate decision is based in part by comments made by both of those two.
