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?

The remaining contestants test two life-or-death myths. First, they test if you can scale 7 stories with vacuum cleaners. Next, they try a Hollywood worst-case scenario: Can an amateur can land a plane using just radio instruction from the ground?
Ep. 7: Return of the Spy Car (2017-02-18)

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.

In the finale, the remaining contestants tackle the two most difficult myths yet: a water heater rocket and a walking-on-water challenge.
