Andrew highlights that this year's crop of nominees is comprised solely of people younger than him, with no one being able to claim "seniorsitis" as the cause of their driving issues. The two challenges which the six remaining nominees will take this week are both annual challenges or variations thereof. The first 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. The second is the swerve and avoid challenge, the maneuver which Philippe demonstrates to the nominees beforehand. Philippe's demonstration shows the drivers that if they step on their brakes to try and avoid hitting something, their wheels will lock causing them to skid right into the object. Instead they must steer - "swerve" - away from the object without braking until the vehicle is back under control. The nominees will also find that a common cause of failure in this challenge is target fixation, namely fixating on the object that they are trying to avoid, which instead makes them drive right into it. The nominees also participate in an annual demonstration to show them just how dangerous it is to drive while being distracted behind the wheel. The panel members hope that Diana in particular will be affected by the demonstration as arguably the most distracted driver that has ever attended drivers' rehab. Prior to the week, Shyamala has a one on one session with all six to discuss their primary issues, one who doesn't quite understand the seriousness of his issue, while another states she wants to change, with her actions saying otherwise. The panel, in their deliberation, will have to decide if the one person they are thinking of graduating this week has overcome the issue which brought that person to rehab. Written by Huggo See less
