DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO CONQUER THE "CRASH COURSE?"

"Episode 102" -- Which team will best be able to maneuver through the extreme auto antics on this week's "Crash Course?" A $50,000 prize awaits the couple with the sharpest driving and navigational skills, and a strong enough relationship to conquer the challenges on "Crash Course," airing TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Hosted by Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese, the series was shot in America's auto capitol, Detroit, MI. (Rebroadcast: OAD: 8/26/09)

Each week, five couples compete in the craziest, most chaotic obstacle driving courses, with challenges ranging from exploding slalom courses and unseen speed bumps to car bowling and backward drag racing while towing a boat. Not only are navigating skills put to the test, but so are relationships and the couples' patience with one another. They compete against each other and are eliminated one by one as they battle through various challenges before facing the final "Crash Course" at the end of each episode -- the ultimate gravity and logic defying driving test -- for a chance to win the grand prize of $50,000. This week's competitors are:

This week's five teams competing on the "Crash Course" include:

Single Moms: Fashion models Laurie Carrasco, 42, from Anaheim, CA, and Gina Nalamlieng, 36, from Los Angeles, met on a runway 10 years ago, and people often confuse them for sisters.

Best Friends: Pharmaceutical drug salesmen Nilson Goes, 27, from Belem, Brazil, and Adrian Larralde, 36, from Santa Barbara, CA, met as competitors, as they were both selling competitive products. Adrian's a big-wave surfer who has broken both arms, a leg and his skull.

Married: Husband and wife Ralph Bryant, 50, from East Pointe, MI, and Jennifer Bryant, 36, from Ortonville, MI, work together as a financial advisor and an assistant. While Ralph's the boss at work, Jennifer appears to be the bossy one. He loves his sports car, and she loves to sew and garden.

Siblings: From Stockbridge, MI, Chris Schoenberg, 23, was in the Air Force and likes to ride his motorcycle "Top Gun"-style. His sister, Sunni Schoenberg, 19, works at a tanning salon and claims that her brother treated her like a wrestling opponent while they were growing up.

Roommates: Ty Snow, 33, from Glendale, CA, and Sarah Barker, 25, from Los Angeles, are friends who live together. They claim it's especially difficult because they're always in competition. Ty says that Sarah's a control freak, and Sarah claims she's the better driver.

Smith & Company Productions ("I Survived a Japanese Game Show" and "Hell's Kitchen"), Rick Hurvitz and Bruce Beresford-Redman for MindCrime.
