Canada’s Worst Driver - Season 1 Episode 8

With Manuel Tejeda graduating after the previous set of challenges, three participants remain in the running to be named Canada's Worst Driver: Chris Ferguson, Madalena Phillips and Heather Reynolds. This title is one that none of the three wants or believes they deserve. They have two final exams. The first, taking place at the Centre, is another obstacle course in which they will require all the skills they should have learned during their stay at the Centre. Each performs poorly, but some exhibit that certain skills are improving. Their final test is driving a predetermined route through the streets of Montréal, a city notorious for aggressive drivers who have no mercy for other drivers in their path. To protect the participants in this situation, the car they are driving is plastered with advertisements for the television show. Andrew will be the passenger for each. Scott first takes each out for a driving lesson in Old Montréal, where most of the course is through. He highlights the importance of courtesy to pedestrians. During the actual test, one of the participants shows a continued lack of respect, while another has a meltdown after one judgment error. In the final deliberation, the panel of experts are using a different criterion: they will make their decision based on the absolute worst driver as opposed to the one that has improved the least. At the end of the day, one of the three does graduate, but the final two both are given a failing grade and do not graduate. Still, one is named Canada's Worst Driver.
