DAREDEVIL COUPLES DRAW UPON THEIR COURAGE AND SKILLS IN ORDER TO WIN ABC'S "CRASH COURSE"

"Episode 104" � The competition revs up for the $50,000 weekly prize on TV's thrilling and wacky automotive competition reality series, as five new couples test their relationships and driving skills on "Crash Course," airing WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 (9:02-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Hosted by Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese, the series is shot in America's auto capitol, Detroit, MI.

Note: This episode replaces "Episode 105."

Each week, five couples compete in the craziest most chaotic driving challenges ever seen. This week's courses -- Car Bocce, Pop it Like It's Hot and Catch Me if You Can -- will not only put their navigating skills to the test but their relationships and patience with one another as well. The couples compete against each other and are eliminated one by one as they battle through several challenges before facing off on the final "Crash Course" at the end of each episode to win the ultimate prize of $50,000. Teams include:

Twins: Justin and Jonathan Avnon, 23, from Calabasas, CA, look alike, talk alike and claim to share everything, including a car. They also have a passion for drifting, a stunt driving skill that earned Justin first place in his first drifting competition.

Co-workers: Samantha Negley, 31, from Santa Maria, CA, and Iris Goudjabidze, 29, from New York City, work as a copywriter and a graphic designer for a maker of miniature-car toys and collectibles. Sam claims she's a fearless driver because of her experience flying airplanes.

Best Friends: Kelly Hoffman and Tim Fletcher, both 24 and from Redondo Beach, CA, claim to be thrill-seekers, especially Tim, who prides himself on being able to hop nonstop on one foot for a full minute.

Dating: Brian Murrey, 25, from Redondo Beach, CA, was first attracted to Justine Tingle, 22, from Los Alamitos, CA, because of her paintball skills. Brian claims driving is a man's job and criticizes Justine's parallel parking. Justine also enjoys the shooting range and scuba diving.

Mother/Daughter: Tammy Allen, 40, and Keisha Allen, 20, both from Winston-Salem, NC, anticipate a breakthrough experience -- and not just because they'll be on "Crash Course." This will be the first time the easy-going daughter has ever driven with her type-A, poker-playing mom in the same car.

The executive producers are Arthur Smith and Kent Weed for A. Smith & Company Productions ("I Survived a Japanese Game Show" and "Hell's Kitchen"), Rick Hurvitz and Bruce Beresford-Redman for MindCrime. The series is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. This program carries a TV-PG,L parental guideline. For more information on "Crash Course," visit ABC.com.
