- Host Daniel Fathers introduces the ten people chosen to compete to become Canada's Greatest Know-It-All Season 2: northern ranger Abe Qamminiq who was born and still lives in the traditional Inuit culture; former Jeopardy! (1984) champion Doug Hicton who beat the IBM supercomputer in a human versus computer battle; retired systems manager Bill Robinson, who spends most of his time exploring the wild west coast on his boat; artist Owen Garratt who believes he can solve any problem using the creative right side of his brain; Ben Eadie who has his own DIY website and who has many projects on the go at given point in time; hang gliding champion Scott Gravelle who designs and builds his own equipment for whatever extreme sport in which he partakes; aerospace engineer Andrew Rader who wants to understand the world; microbiologist Carla Davidson who admits she has ruined many a party with her incessant nattering about useless information; former US air force pilot Beth Furlong who believes her military training places her in good stead; and twenty-three year old former science child prodigy Laura Suen who doesn't know which of the many possible career paths to take that are afforded her. They are split into two teams of five for their first two challenges, those teams pitting the top five scorers of the entrance exam versus the bottom five. Donning a wet suit, Daniel emerges from the water pit to introduce the first challenge: to diffuse an underwater bomb by solving problems which reveal the diffusing codes, which they must communicate to their diving colleague non-verbally. Their second challenge consists of one-on-one pistol duels, the winner of each duel having the ability to answer the previously asked questions. One member of the losing team in each of the two challenges goes to the danger zone for potential elimination. In both cases, they come to an easy consensus. That danger zone challenge has the two trying to identify and spell twenty items on a table. The losing competitor is the first eliminated from competition. That person is thwarted by not focusing on the small details.—Huggo
