Summary With Joe Palozzi 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 stretch limousine with the other six nominees as passengers. While the challenge is designed to test if the nominees know how to use their side mirrors - they needing to focus on the mirror on the side of the inside of the turn - 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 the trough challenge, which is designed to show the drivers that rear wheels take a sharper path than front wheels in a turn, something Andrew demonstrates on the ground before the challenge. Thus, the drivers will have to take wider turns than they would expect for their rear wheels to remain in the trough on the turns. Despite Andrew's demonstration, he will find during the challenge that few of the contestants actually understood what he was trying to demonstrate to them. The third is the eye of the needle, which this year will be done on a gradually weaving course driven at 80kph. Philippe demonstrates the mantra "look where you want to go" to the nominees in not hitting the barriers of the course. Andrew, who admits that this challenge still freaks him out, finds, in his demonstration drive of the course, that he has troubles transitioning from eye four to eye five - which requires a sharp realignment of the car's trajectory - so there may be little hope that any of the nominees will be able to maneuver the course successfully. When the nominees face the experts just prior to their evaluation, only one feels ready to graduate at this week's ceremony. The question then becomes if the experts feel the same.
