Two teams must identify the dollar values of a wide variety of consumer items by packing them into a storage container. The team’s unit with the highest dollar value wins the round. Then, in the “Reverse Boat-Build” test, two teams are challenged to design and build a boat that can transport their team and cargo across a stretch of water in a race against the other team. But the race is in two stages, and there’s a twist. First, the teams must build a boat out of materials that the other team selects for them and transport half of the cargo; then each team builds a second boat from materials of their own choosing to complete the cargo transfer. Then, two competitors meet face to face in an all-stakes elimination round.

Winter launch better than “any in recorded history at the CBC”

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • All-Canadian programming pays off for CBC
    The CBC launched several new series in January. None have flopped. Some of the new series, the drama Arctic Air and the comedy Mr. D in particular, have repeatedly flirted with the one-million-viewers mark. Returning shows such as Republic of Doyle and Dragons’ Den have also pulled in strong ratings. The sum of all these parts, Stewart says, is “a better launch than any in recorded history at the CBC.” Read more.
