It also has some elements of Candid Camera/Surprise Surprise. <br/><br/>Matt Tiley is hosting the show which bodes well for Nine given this last show failed so badly on Seven - remember that one with all the Austereo people doing a rip off of the Panel.

Both the power of 10 and the singing bee look like fun entertaining shows. Looks like nine is building a base to take back the ratings mantle next year.

So do I dare go preview “The Power Of Ten,” seeing as the concept sounds tired and lame, that Drew Carey is useless at hosting “game” shows, and that US television seems to have regressed to its childhood? Well, no, no I don’t :-)
