A Turn for the Worst

Summary Because of her stress induced angina which she did not disclose prior to appearing on the show, Donna Hicks was asked to leave the Centre as a participant. The experts also suggested that she stop driving altogether which she refused to do. However, upon her return home, her driver's license was not renewed. With her departure and no graduate after the last series of challenges, there are five participants remaining at the Centre. The next series of challenges all have to do with turning skills. A pre-challenge given to the participants is to drive a narrow circular course while multitasking. This pre-challenge is to demonstrate how dangerous multitasking can be when sitting behind the wheel. Their first real challenge has them driving on a narrow rolling snaking ramp. This challenge is to see if the drivers know where the wheels of their car are located at all times on the course. The second challenge is one where the participants must make a last minute swerve to avoid hitting a suddenly appearing object. Philippe provides a demonstration on a high speed swerve to each before they attempt the challenge. For graduation, the panel primarily take into account the participants' success on the swerve and avoid challenge.
