panel members

I added that when the two panel members reported Donna they implied they didn't really have a choice about that because in the show they mention that their real jobs outline procedures for similar situations that is ran into someone with an uncontrolled medical problem that affects driving. I think there is an issue with the "Months after the show was filmed, Donna loses her license" as in the Shifty Manoeuvres episode they say that Donna's license review is under review they don't say flat out she actually lost her license. can we find a place where it says it flat out? Tydoni (talk) 04:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The episode in question ends with an e-mail from Donna being displayed that indicates that she is losing her license "because of your damn show". Remember this was filmed months ago; odds are they wouldn't have put that e-mail up on the screen if it wasn't pretty certain the licence had been pulled. However you make a good point, and per WP:BLP perhaps it's simply best to indicate what the e-mail says and leave it at that, pending any comment in the remaining episodes. 23skidoo (talk) 06:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It does take a while for a review to take place, like how long it takes to get a passport or for a court case to be heard. We should just stick with "Donna sent us this email" which you know what it is.Tibbydibby (talk) 16:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expelled, or Did not Graduate?

Is it fair to say Donna was expelled? She wasn't kicked out so much as everyone felt it was far too unsafe to let her continue. 154.5.226.109 (talk) 14:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is, actually, on the following grounds

1: The show referred to it as someone being 'barred' or 'expelled' from rehab. They did not say 'was not allowed to continue'.

2: The fact that it was unsafe to let people continue isn't grounds for dismissal, if that was the case, we would see more people being 'dismissed' for being 'unsafe'. Why not 'dismiss' Emily for needing glasses, for instance, that is also a health reason. The reason she was expelled was because with that condition, and everything else, she was beyond repair as a driver, would not learn anything (as was the previous case) and hence, was expelled.

3: There is no distinction between not finishing and expulsion. Either you graduate, are declared the worst, or are disqualified, which is an 'expulsion' from Rehab.

4: I have reason to doubt the integrity of the editor who placed the 'DNF' category. There is no precedent for a did not finish category in the previous seasons pages (and there has been an expulsion). Did not finish is a euphemism, and I've actually seen Donna's family and friends attempting to spin doctor the outcome of the show in places by calling it scripted, faked, slander, etc.

For these reasons, I feel the EXPL label is appropriate.141.109.120.138 (talk) 02:15, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good points, but are you suggesting the person who put the DNF tag might have been a member of Donna's family?

"Future" banner

Someone placed a "Future events" banner on this article which is completely inappropriate for a TV series. I'm not sure if a proper banner actually exists; presumably the intent is to flag this as a competition-based series for which the outcome is not yet (publicly) known -- obviously the outcome is already known by some parties as this isn't broadcast live. Is there a banner that's used for shows like American Idol? Only problem is I don't know if such a thing would be appropriate, because elements of that competition (as well as other competition shows like Survivor) are broadcast live, as opposed to CWD which was filmed months ago. 23skidoo (talk) 06:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Donna's and The water challenge

It says that "she repeated it when she suffered a heart condition (angina)" Well, this really doesn't make sense. She never repeated it, she just suffered the attack after hitting a cardboard taxi. Plus she didn't "suffer a heart condition", she already had the condition. She really suffered from an angina attack. Should we change it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wise dude321 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free. WP:BOLD applies; if it's correct, you don't need to wait for anyone to give the OK on something like this. 23skidoo (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More Donna

I just revised the Episode 4 summary; having now seen the episode replayed over this past weekend, I spotted a couple of potential WP:BLP issues. The key one is that the episode never actually states that she lost her licence. It only said she sent them an e-mail saying something to that effect, which is not the same thing at all. So I have changed it accordingly, and indicated that the episode does not indicate if she actually did lose her licence. I also corrected a few descriptions that did not coincide with what was actually shown. 23skidoo (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you read through the entire article you'll notice that it makes many hints at the future, like saying that Lindsay marries, but it hasn't been mentioned yet. I suspect people in the show who know how it ends are here. Wise dude321 (talk) 05:33, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Week 1 Note

I have just added reason(s) why Donna, Teagan, Ashley and Ken were sent to prison for a few minutes while on the show. Tibbydibby (talk) 15:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Week 4 Note

I made just a slight edit to mention that Scott is Emily's nominator. Tibbydibby (talk) 20:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Week 5 Note

I have just made a note with a "%" symbol in discussing episode 5 of the synopsis which denotes that it's a non-elimination week due to the fact that everyone failed the swerve and avoid challenge, which the host decided NOT to graduate anyone therefore. Tibbydibby (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also must mention that ALL contestants were drinking Gatorade instead of Water in the Distraction Lesson Challenge. Tibbydibby (talk) 23:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External Links?

I've just added a link to the official website and where we can easily watch clips of Canada's Worst Driver. Tibbydibby (talk) 19:37, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Finale Issue

When Ashley is declared Canada's Worst Driver, why do I always keep seeing that Ashley was the final graduate, Amy was the runner-up and Emily the worst driver? Doesn't make sense to me. Tibbydibby (talk) 17:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this article is messed up. Amy graduated, then the judges discussed who was Canada's Worst Driver, Emily or Ashley. They decided that although bad Emily wasn't and that Ashley was Canada Worst Driver. So why does it say that Emily was??? Jsp3970 (talk) 15:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chart

the dark green should have a definition in the legend it is not clear its meaning or why it is different that the light green that is defined Tydoni (talk) 05:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the dark green means that Emily Wang (in this case) was the runner-up of Canada's Worst Driver, but did not graduate this season either. Tibbydibby (talk) 14:42, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

then can we have the legend say that then? Tydoni (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just make an edit of this then. Tibbydibby (talk) 21:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Donna Hicks quotes

These quotes from Donna Hicks are priceless examples of what she does while driving. The quotes are arranged by episode. --208.96.115.82 (talk) 22:28, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those are amazing! But I can't add it to the main page though, sorry. --Tibbydibby (talk) 23:00, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Episode 1

(Upon approaching a 4-way Stop)

Donna: Stop here? No, we don't have to. It's a 4-way. (She keeps going)

(Approaching another intersection which appears not to be a 4-way Stop)

Donna: Is this a 4-way? Aw, it doesn't matter. (She doesn't comply with the STOP sign, and goes)

(Andrew is explaining that Donna does it at home as well)

Andrew: (Narrating) At home at Sault Ste. Marie, it's the same "Non-Stop" drama.

Donna: (In an interview clip of some sort) It gives me a high, like a high.

Donna: (A clip shows Donna going through another STOP sign) Great! I did again! I did it again!

Andrew: (Narrating) Another thing that gets Donna "High" while driving is drinking (Andrew Pauses for a bit) ALCOHOL!

Episode 2

(Donna has to do a challenge where she has to parallel park. She is interrupted by a random driver who honks at her.)

Donna: Oh, shut up! Well, then, go! (Donna then gets out of the car) I'm parking in there! GO!

(After failing her first attempt at the challenge)

Donna: (BLEEP)!

Andrew: (Narrating) This is the intersection where right turns on a red light are illegal!

Donna: We're going, anyway. (She turns right after seeing a sign that says it is prohibited) Oh, my nerves are shot. My friggin' nerves are just shot!
