MythBusters: The Search

- Season 1

(2017)

Elite builders face off to become the next MythBusters and test two tall tales: the sideways ejector seat from The Fast & the Furious and Deflategate, one of the most infamous football scandals of all-time.

One contestant has been eliminated, and nine hopefuls remain to test a classic myth that Adam and Jamie never mastered: Can you paint with explosives? They'll also test if alcohol makes you more creative.

Eight contestants are left to build and race two full-sized boats made completely of cardboard. Next, they'll put Hollywood on trial and test everyone's gun skills: Can you shoot a bad guy blindfolded?

Seven contestants remain to test one of Adam and Jamie's most challenging myths: the needle in a haystack. Then, they try to bust a classic Hollywood cliche: Can you pick handcuffs with a hairpin?

The search for the next MythBusters continues as the contestants test a myth straight out of the A-Team: can you make a weapon out of junkyard scrap? Then, they find what it takes to make a bike impossible to ride.

The remaining contestants test two life-or-death myths. First, they test if you can scale seven stories with vacuum cleaners. Then, they see if an amateur can land a plane using just radio instruction from ground control.

The contestants revisit a classic MythBusters challenge that has never been perfected: a spy car that can blind a vehicle in pursuit. Then, each contestant faces the ultimate horror: six minutes in an open coffin filled with snakes, rats, and worms.

The remaining contestants tackle the two most difficult myths yet: a water heater rocket and a walking-on-water challenge. In this explosive live grand finale, we reveal the winners of our search for the next MythBusters.
