Episode Overview

With Darris Wilderman being named the second graduate of the season, five nominees remain at the Centre. Their backing up skills are tested in all of the three challenges this week. With Tim in the vehicle, the nominees are able to see the mechanics of parallel parking using the vehicle's automated parking technology before they may be able to put these skills to good use in the annual parking lot challenge. The nominees must be able to back into whatever space is available in one motion, some of those spaces which are in the parallel parking vein. Hitting anything or contravening any traffic law, including parking in what may be considered illegal spots, will require the driver to take a "lap of shame" around the exterior of the lot before they can attempt to park again. Tim laments most driving schools not placing more emphasis on parking lot parking as he and the other experts watch how most most of the nominees don't understand the fundamentals of positioning their car before backing up. Tim then teaches them how to back up a trailer before he shows them the trailer backup assist function available in the vehicle they will be driving in the trailer backup challenge, the assist, which will prevent the trailer from ever jackknifing, which the nominees have the option to use in the challenge if they so wish. And Philippe shows the nominees how to perform a one-hundred eighty degree reverse spin-out, which they must do in an enclosed space in the third challenge. In the resulting panel deliberation, skill versus attitude are points under discussion in who, if anyone, graduates this week.
