America Psychic Challenge is a competitive reality TV series on the Lifetime Television Network [1]. The show originated in the UK with the title Britain's Psychic Challenge. Bunim-Murray Productions created the American version for Lifetime TV [2].

During a national search of thousands, sixteen self-professed psychics each gained a spot to compete on television. For the program, tests were created by the production company with the stated goal of assessing contestants' supernatural abilities. As each psychic is tested he or she is awarded points based on the results of the tests. At the end of every show the two psychics with the highest scores move forward to continue in the competition, and the low scored contestants leave the series. Ultimately the final two psychics face off to compete for the grand prize of $100,000 and the title of 'America’s #1 Psychic.'

The show premiered on the Lifetime Television Network on October 12, 2007[3]. Eight episodes aired with John Burke as the show host[4]. The winner of the first season was Michelle Whitedove. She beat her challenger Jackie Barrett by only two points in a closely fought final. Other competitors were[5] Tori Allah, Jeff Baker, Sloan Bella, Jamie Clark, Silvana Fillmore, Joseph McBratney, Lynn Miller, Naryza, Catherine Powell, Karyn Reese, Zenobia Simmons, Kim Stempien, Joseph Tittel, and Robin Zodiac.

A second season of the Bulgarian version of the format is announced for broadcasting from March 26th. 2009 on bTV. Similar TV shows are being conducted in Russia (on the TNT channel) and Ukraine (STB channel).
