Episode #12.3

Summary With Cody Jensen being named the first graduate of the season, seven nominees remain at the Centre. The three challenges which the seven will take this week are all annual challenges or variations thereof. The first is the figure eight reverse challenge, which each nominee will do in a passenger van with the other six nominees as passengers. While the challenge is designed to test if the nominees know how to use their side mirrors, the drivers will have the extra pressure of doing the task in front of the gazing and often critical eyes of the other nominees. The second is perhaps the most audience favorite, namely the water tank challenge, this year's tank which has 200 liters of water potentially to dump on the nominees and their respective nominator passengers (and one unlucky expert panel member). The challenge is designed to teach vehicle dynamics and test pedal control. This year's course includes an acceleration/deceleration section leading into a sharp turn, an unexpected obstacle parking lot section, a tight maneuvering section which requires both driving forward and in reverse, and a slow reverse slalom section. The third is the eye of the needle, which this year will be done on a gradually curving course (called the Flora after season eight nominee Flora Wang's disastrous attempt on the challenge on a similar course) driven at 70kph. Through the week, a focus is placed on Tyler's history of drinking and driving, which the experience of others hopefully shining a light on the dangers of doing such to Tyler. By the panel deliberation, three nominees declare that they want to graduate this week, while the panel short lists two. They will have to decide if either has improved enough to return to public roads.

The Fortunes of Fifi

The Fortunes of Fifi

Fifi is seen as Pierrot in a French play that is a failure despite her effort to put ginger into the rest of the cast. Among the few in the last audience was Cartouche, a veteran, who had become an actor when his wounds no longer allowed him to follow Napoleon. Through Cartouche's efforts Fifi is employed at the Imperial theater in Parts. He takes her to his lodging, determined to protect her. Fifi fails to understand how much Cartouche is doing for her, and when he gives her money to buy clothes she purchases a toy dog sailed Toto. The veteran buys a lottery ticket and gives it to Fifi. The ticket bears the winning number and Fifi finds herself in possession of a fortune. Cartouche decides Fifi must be educated. He applies to his old general, who suggests that Fifi be sent to the home of Louis Bourcet, an attorney who lives alone with his mother. Instead of putting her money in the bank Fifi hides it and startles the Bourcet family by her extravagance. They decide she has even more money than they thought and Louis begins to see in the wealthy Fifi a very acceptable wife. He makes love to the girl, and she accepts his proffer. Then she sets about to make him break the engagement by squandering her money, realizing she is in love with Cartouche. Accordingly she buys the most impossible things, scandalizing the Bourcet family into a complete renunciation by giving the remainder of her wealth to a charitable benefit for old soldiers. Ejected from the house by the angry Mme. Bourcet, Fifi returns to the Imperial, where she demands more money for her services because she has been publicly thanked by the General for her donation to charity. She tells Cartouche she loves him, but the old soldier refuses. to permit her to "throw herself away" upon him until Fifi gets an inspiration of her own.
