Anyone else watching America's Psychic Challenge?
 

I just saw it on tv tonight and its fucking great. Some of the psychics are spot on.
In one of the challenges the psychics take turns guessing the man who had a criminal record out of a group. One of the psychics wrote down that the man was in prison for 4 years and 4 months and his brother had a drug problem. And it turned out she was totally right.

Another psychic, before meeting the men, said the man had a tattoo of an S on his arm done in a snake, and it was true. Pretty cool

I thought so too, but when theyre getting names right and guessing how people died its pretty cool

Its on now!!
luv this show. The first challenge they have to find a guy in the car . and in the last challenge the guy is amazing, he gets the whole story behind the crime scene

my wife loves that show.

Are they allowed to interview or do any cold readings with the person?

Plus fuck it is TV, you trust reality TV?

Its a challenge, like American Idol, not a reality show. They put 16 professional psychics against each other and the winner gets $100,000.

Yeah its cold. They have to guess the celebrity on the other side of the wall. They bring them to a crime scene and they have to say what happened there with no background info, and some of them really nail it.

Bleh it still is reality tv and thus more than likely highly rigged.

Riged and fake guys c-mon...
Please.

you mean when they are editing a hundred hours of footage down to a few short scenes to show how "right" they are.

lol, probably. but you guys arent watching it.
they have time limits to when they can complete the challenge. It doesnt run all day.

I dont believe in most psychics. I think John Edwards and Sylvia Brown are full of shit just trying to make money.
But some of these people on the show are really accurate.

Im open to the idea, but not through some edited tv show.
I want labs, scientific tests, control groups, and so forth.

so.... people "on this show" are really accurate and for some reason no one can be "really accurate" anywhere else, in any other place at any other time?

strange.

this show must be magical. at first i was just thinking "wow, this show might be some crappy, fake, sensational scheme designed for tv viewers, to get ratings and advertising dollars"

now i am thinking "wow... this show is the most amazing display of psychic abilities ever. those same abilities that have never been duplicated in any controlled scientific study, anywhere. its truly amazing"


i wonder.... will these amazingly talented and gifted psychics that never participate in controlled studies for some reason, use their talents for good... or for evil?

i'm concerned.


:Oh crap

so....you judge shit without looking at it first?

and this seems like a controlled study to me. I dont know why the people running the competition would lie. a lot of the psychics do terribly.
well the best part is on

got me there. i dont know why.

See boyalleys post, that has been an open offer for a long time.

Viewer Fascination = Ratings = They keep their job

Bunch of people saying "this is nonsense" = Lack of Ratings = They lose their job.


Speaking for myself, I don't need to waste my valuable time watching something that I already know's bogus. Like BA said, if anyone was for real, they would have already stepped up.

uhm yeah. why? because i'm not a 6 yr old mesmerized by a tv show. i've actually been on this planet for a while and seen this same shit, same claims etc with ZERO proof many times. when i see a girl dressed like a hooker, walking like a hooker, talking like a hooker and walking the street at 3am where hookers do... i judge her. pretty normal stuff.

as Boy Alley said, they want to compete on a reality show for small cash when people like Randi will pay them 1,000,000.00 cash to prove they possess any skills?

you dont know why they would "lie"

who says they are?

telling 1/2 the truth so you make wrong assumptions about whats happening isn't the same as telling a lie.

dude... seriously... its a tv show, not a physics experiment.

the truth about psychics is that in controlled studies, they have extremely dismal records. horrible.
