''Canada's Worst Handyman'' is the 2006 season of the reality television series Canada's Worst Handyman airing on Discovery Channel Canada, produced by Proper Television. The show and its format is based on ''Britain's Worst Driver'', and is considered to be a sister show of ''Canada's Worst Driver'' (itself an adaptation of ''Britain's Worst Driver''). The show is hosted by ''Canada's Worst Driver'' host Andrew Younghusband, and shares much of its production crew with ''Canada's Worst Driver''. ==Format== Like ''Driver'', ''Handyman'' has five contestants trying to ''not'' become Canada's worst handyman. Unlike ''Driver'', however, none of the contestants are eliminated; instead, at the end of each episode, one will be named the most improved, while another will be named the worst. Also, the time frame for ''Handyman'' is much shorter, lasting only two weeks, instead of the eight weeks for ''Driver''; and each episode chronicled one or two days, instead of a week for ''Driver''. On the sixth episode, the five contestants will work together to refurbish an apartment in ten hours, with the one with the worst individual performance being named Canada's worst handyman. Like ''Driver'', the contestants are accompanied by their nominators, who are allowed to assist them in their various tasks. Each episode (except the finale) also features a "group challenge", which is done by the five contestants as a group. Except for the first group challenge, each of the group challenges has a contestant named as the project's foreman, and the foreman designation is given to the most improved contestant for the previous week; this particular twist was added when the judges saw how badly they performed at the first group challenge without a designated leader. The contestant named the worst in each show is obligated to "hang their head in shame" and nail a picture of themselves along a "wall of shame", and be personally tutored by Younghusband on an aspect leading to their nomination. The show takes place at the ''Handyman Rehabilitation Centre'', a building of the Regent Park public housing complex in Toronto, Ontario. Located at the corner of Dundas and Parliament, it was demolished following the filming of the first few seasons.〔(''Spacing Wire'' on the demolition of Regent Park )〕〔(''fab Magazine'' interview with Keith Cole )〕〔(''The Independent'' article on Darryl Andrews and Sara Graziano )〕 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 Handyman (season 1)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
