Survey says…. Power of Ten auditions

Channel Nine has started the audition process for a mysterious “high-stakes, adrenaline-filled game show.”
Except it’s not that much of a mystery when you read the details about how the show works. It’s The Power of Ten.
The show is a variation on the basic premise of Family Feud and The Rich List -guessing the results of surveys.
As Nine’s website says, “Contestants will be tested to see if they have their finger on the pulse of the people and can accurately predict the results of our Nationwide Surveys. With only five questions to answer, the contestant who has the best take on the Australian mindset could walk away with a million dollar payday!”
The two stage audition process starts with a preliminary online quiz, and it’s time-dependent. You only have 30 seconds to choose each of ten questions (in the on-air version you have 10 secs). If you move to the second stage Nine will let you know. As usual entrants must be Aussie residents 18yo or over.
The US version of the show is hosted by Drew Carey. Twelve eps have aired so far on CBS. The local production to air in 2008 will be the first version outside the US.

This is quite a fun show, I went to the taping of the second episode recently. It’s a bit over the top with the audience shouting out “higher, higher, lower, lower” but it was a lot of fun. I have requested more tickets to go again as it was really good! It will be showing in the next few weeks.
I’ve just come back from the US,
and this show rocks,
I only watched it because it had Drew Carey hosting it.
I think it works because of him.
We would have to find someone as funny as him to host the Oz version to make it work over here,
…. any suggestions?
I got through to the 2nd stage of auditions in brisbane. I am going to go and try my best. If channel 9 wants to give me $1000000, I say let them. But I agree, these gameshows are not as great as some others.
Oh No, not another one!
Dont these stations realise that people are actually getting sick of them – and i am one of them!!
Put on some decent programs!
(Im actually surprised they all have so much money to give away – where do they get it from?)
….and yet again, Perth is left out! Unfair. I so would win The Singing Bee.
Oh Great – Another game show from Nine. Gee I wonder who will be hosting this one. Gee let me think hummm….. 1 vs 100 didn’t set the world on fire and the revamp Millionaire hasn’t either and at $5m a year, Im gonna lock in Eddie to host the show !!!
