Many people know her as the supposed inspiration for the TV show  &#8220;Medium&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She was in the mob and given her &#8220;abilities&#8221; I expected to have to wait for a long time for her to miss a question.  She was out on the second question.  She did last one question longer than Dr. Ruth though.<\/p>\n<p>They allowed her to come back in so she could win some more money for her &#8220;charity&#8221; when the next contestant came out.  This time she was a little better and lasted until the 5th or 6th question.  Still not that great of a showing in my opinion for someone that can supposedly see the future, read minds or whatever the hell she claims to do.<\/p>\n<p>Pauline tried to cop out for her and say that she probably didn&#8217;t want to use the gift on the show.  Why not?  She was playing for some charity.  What better reason than to win money to help a charity?  Is her psychic gift limited to only a few usages? If so it doesn&#8217;t seem like she would be wasting it on one-on-one phone readings for money, when she could use it once and win tons on the show.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the only time that 1 vs. 100 has had psychics on.  Another time they had like six of them in the mob.  They were all out  within 3 questions, if I remember correctly.  Not a very good showing for these supposed psychics.  I guess it is hard to cold read a multiple choice question that you have to answer without being able to see anyones thoughts on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I was watching an episode of 1 vs 100 that MythTV had recorded and was greeted by famed &#8220;psychic&#8221; Allison Dubois on the show.
