''Canada's Worst Driver Ever'' is the ninth season of the ''Canada's Worst Driver'' series, which airs on Discovery Channel. This season brings back nine former contestants, who were either named Canada's Worst Driver or failed to graduate in the final episode of their respective seasons, giving them one more chance to improve their driving and avoid being named Canada's Worst Driver Ever.〔(CANADA’S WORST DRIVER EVER – Season 9 – Premieres October 2 )〕 == Contestants == This season has the largest roster of drivers so far, with nine former contestants returning. However, it also has the least amount of graduates so far with only four. Seven of them also have their original nominators returning, while two (Dale and, initially, Michael) have different ones. The only season from which no driver returned is ''Canada's Worst Driver 4''. * Shelby D'Souza, 37, from Calgary, Alberta, was nominally the runner-up in ''Canada's Worst Driver 3''; though in a way, was the "worst driver" from that season since the actual worst, Jason Zhang, immediately gave up driving for good. Shelby and his brother, Elerick D'Souza feel that regardless of the outcome of that season, he is now a much better driver. He drives a black Chevrolet Avalanche. * Chris Ferguson, 39, from Malton, Ontario, was the first-ever person to be awarded the dishonour of being named Canada's Worst Driver in ''Canada's Worst Driver 1''. In the eight years since, however, he believes that he has hugely improved as a driver, and will have much better luck this time around. His wife Michelle Ferguson was his nominator, but she did not accompany him during his run on the show. He drives a white Pontiac G6. * Henrietta Gallant, 68, from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, was deemed to be the worst driver in ''Canada's Worst Driver 2'' due to a terrible road test performance and refusing to admit fault for her mistakes. While her husband, Andy Gallant acknowledges that she has at least learned to take responsibility for her errors in the years since, both of them fear that it may be too late for her to learn what she needs to (at the age of 68, Henrietta is also the show's oldest-ever contestant). She drives a blue Chevrolet Impala. * Sly Grosjean, 42, from Red Deer, Alberta, narrowly avoided being named the worst driver in ''Canada's Worst Driver 7'' thanks to a decent road test performance, despite a terrible overall track record in the competition. His brother-in-law, Fred Hillyer believes that Sly avoided being named the worst simply through luck (an opinion which Andrew himself hinted he shared in that season's finale), and points to Sly's continued use of handheld gadgets while driving as proof that he learned nothing from his original appearance on the show. He drives a silver Jeep Patriot. * Angelina Marcantognini, 30, from Sudbury, Ontario, was judged the worst in ''Canada's Worst Driver 5'' after a horrific overall performance, which saw her fail all but one challenge during that season and then fail to complete the road test, in turn causing Andrew to informally judge her to be the show's worst-ever driver in the ''Canada's Worst Driver FAQ'' special in 2012. Angelina is determined to prove Andrew wrong, but her best friend, Christine Latondress Andrews has seen little improvement in the years since, and is worried she'll just prove him right. She drives a black 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. * Dale Pitton, 65, from St. Catharines, Ontario, finished as runner-up in ''Canada's Worst Driver 6''; avoiding being named the worst solely because she finished the road test, unlike the season's actual worst, Lance Morin. Her disregarding the experts' recommendation that she quit driving has caused a rift between Dale and her original nominator, nephew John Pitton, and so she has been forced to call on another nephew, Danny Pitton to accompany her to rehab. She drives a blue Chevrolet Cavalier. * Shirley Sampson, 62, from Donkin, Nova Scotia, performed well for most of ''Canada's Worst Driver 7'', only to find herself being named the worst after a terrible road test performance. Since then she has continued to improve her driving, and she and daughter Janis Wall are determined to prove that she simply had a bad day when she was named the worst in her season. She drives a grey Kia Rio5. * Kevin Simmons, 26, from Burnaby, British Columbia, fresh from being named the joint-worst (with Flora Wang) in ''Canada's Worst Driver 8'', has been brought straight back to rehab by his boyfriend Lenny Stone. Since the previous season, Kevin has already been involved in another serious accident, and Lenny is starting to feel that perhaps Kevin should give up driving for good. He drives a white Ford Crown Victoria. * Michael Telford, 47, from Vancouver Island, was the runner-up to Henrietta in ''Canada's Worst Driver 2''; performing reasonably well for most of the season, but ultimately turning in a poor road test. His nominator and longtime friend, Yolanda Kozak (who is also the wife of his original nominator, Eric Kozak, who was unable to return for health reasons) believes that Michael's driving is now even worse than before he originally went on the show, and that he will get involved in a fatal accident unless he returns to rehab. However, after learning that Yolanda was giving negative feedback, and Yolanda had been injured, the producers decide to send her home and bring back a recovered Eric Kozak. Michael drives a green Lincoln Continental. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada's Worst Driver Ever」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
