America's Psychic Challenge FREE DOWNLOAD

LEGAL AND FREE download on iTunes, for those of us who like to keep up on what *they* are up to. If you have iTunes installed, just go to the store, click on TV shows, and it shows up under the free ones. It is a new series on Lifetime.

I have downloaded it, but haven't watched it yet. Historically, once it is downloaded there is no time frame to watch it (I recently watched some freebies I downloaded over a year ago!) BUT they usually only offer it for free until the next show comes out, so about a week or a few days.

Just an FYI for anyone interested. It is only free in the US market, that I am aware of.

It's America's Psychic Challenge. I am watching it now. It is like a game show, sort of a watered down Randi-challenge. People who profess to be psychics have to pass various tests. Right now, they are in an abandoned hospital in LA. (I wondered how there could BE abandoned property in Los Angeles, but OK...it was a psych hospital) They put a man in a room. The psychics have to find the man. So far, no one has found the man, but they are feeling all sorts of "energies". Whatevah. One guy came close to finding the man (next door) so he got 10 points.

The next challenge was to "read" someone behind a wall--that was pathetic, although the person behind the wall was Lisa Williams, so she wanted them to read her well.

The final challenge pissed me off--the family of a nineteen year old murder victim had to decide which "psychic" did the best job detailing the crime scene. Emotional.

Next week, more woo woo. I won't pay, but might watch it on Lifetime and update.

You are right about it being only available in the US. I am in Australia and could only find it in the USA store. When I tried to download the show, it refused to do so as I was not in the US.

Sorry. It will probably be on Youtube in the next few days.
