We’re really getting down to the wire. Only 6 contestants remain.

MythBusters: The Search contestants have half the time and twice as much hay as Jamie and Adam did nearly ten years ago. The teams have to be precise with their methods.

Testing idioms is a MythBusters tradition. Jon, Tracy, Martin, and Allen made a shaking cow machine that was able to find the dreaded needle in a haystack.

We’re testing this age old movie myth. Is it really possible to escape handcuffs with just a bobby pin?

This week we’re asking the contestants to take on this timeless classic. Hackett doesn’t seem phased, but the others are a bit wary.

Communication is crucial as a MythBuster. You have to be able to work pin your own and in a team.

A cardboard boat divided cannot float. Tracy and Jason must reconnect with Brian and Jon in order to make this boat work.

It’s team red against team blue! Both boats will have to make it 500 feet around the race track.

In the movies we often see shootouts that happen in the dark, but is it really that easy to rely on sound alone?

This week the contestants will be making boats out of a non-traditional material.

At the end of the second week of MythBusters: The Search, it’s time to say goodbye to Ben. He had the build skills, but lacked the communication skills.

In a quest to paint a room using c4, Blue Team has created a magnificent dandelion-like contraption.

Green Team couldn’t decide on one idea, so they tested three. Allen and Jason’s put paint on the wall, but Hackett’s... did something else.

Talk about bring down the house! Red Team’s paint explosion decorated the walls, but also knocked them down.

Can you paint a wall with explosives? No, but the myth testing sure is gorgeous!

The myth states that people become more creative when they’re drunk or tipsy. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and increases confidence, so is there a connection to art?

Using a cordless vacuum cleaner, these hopeful MythBusters will have to scale a wall like Spiderman. They’l have to calculate a few things first though.

Who do you think will win, Tamara or Jon? Both have equally impressive looking vacuum climbers.

Fun Fact: We still tested Brian even though he’s a pilot. See how he did in this deleted scene.

This week the contestants will have to take on a classic James Bond movie myth!

This has been the hardest elimination round so far!

Tamara, Brian, and Jon must attempt to obscure an enemy vehicle’s view enough that it forces them to stop. They went a festive route for this myth test.

In an attempt to obscure a bad guy’s vision, Martin and Jon have filled Christmas ornaments with various premium glop including contact cement, honey, and peanut butter.

See the spy cars take on the enemy vehicle in slow motion!

It’s all come down to this! Four contestants remain, but how many will go on to become the next generation of MythBusters?

Watch as Buster blasts off in slow motion!

Go, Buster, go!

Brian, Jon, Tamara, and Martin attempt to walk across water with their DIY floatation footwear. It’s not as easy at it looks!

The final four, Brian, Jon, Tamara, and Martin send Buster sky high for their final myth.

Congratulations Jon, Brian, and Bo!

the legacy lives on !
