7 Episodes 2012 - 2012
Episode 1
The all new Canada's Handyman Challenge kicks off with our host Jillian Harris and judges Mike Holmes, Scott McGillivray and Bryan Baeumler traveling to Vancouver to pick the 4 best handymen to represent the West in the National Handyman Finals.
Episode 2
Judges Mike Holmes, Scott McGillivray and Bryan Bauemler pick the 10 best handymen from Halifax to compete in challenge one. This time contestants build a chair in two hours and in the second round they're given just 20 minutes to install a fully functional toilet! The four best are declared the "Eastern Canada" finalists.
Episode 3
The judges went West, then East and now they've landed in Toronto to pick the best 10 handymen who will compete to represent Central Canada. For their first challenge, candidates must choose objects from a junk pile and build something fresh and fabulous in two hours flat! In round two they must finish shingling a roof. The last four standing are declared the "Central Canada" finalists.
Episode 4
Things heat up as our 12 finalists from West, East and Central Canada travel to the National Handyman Finals for their biggest test yet - a face-to-face challenge with each of our judges. Who can name all the tools? Who will identify all the errors in a poorly constructed kitchen wall? Who will figure out the "Measure, Cut and Match" puzzle? The remaining eight competitors are one step closer to the title of Canada's Best Handyman.
Episode 5
This challenge calls for a little team spirit as our eight National Finalists pair-up to build bunk beds. But the real test comes when the losing team gets a surprise "face off" challenge - wall-painting - against their former partner. And one of them is sent home. Our remaining seven have just 40 minutes to wire and install a light-fixture. A seemingly simple challenge but deceptive enough to send one more contestant home - bringing the total down to six National Finalists.
Episode 6
What do you get when you give the final six handymen two hours and way too many tasks? A really good sense of who can achieve quality and quantity in a short time frame. Five make it to the next round to build a functioning staircase. One wrong cut and they will be eliminated. Only four competitors move on to final showdown to compete for the title of Canada's Best Handyman.
Episode 7
This is the final 2-day showdown for the esteemed title of Canada's Best Handyman! For their final challenge, the contestants must build the ultimate outdoor living space. The handyman who exhibits knowledge, skill, creativity, and passion-will be awarded the title of HGTV's Canada's Best Handyman.
