I'm far from a believer, but I do admit there were several outcomes in the first show that shocked me. - Lyons
Each week The One's psychics will showcase their abilities in a series
of studio and location challenges, such as finding a lost child in the
bush or getting inside the minds of well-known celebrities.
Seven contestants : mediums, psychics, clairvoyants, a "medical
intuitive" and a witch undergo tests to prove their paranormal
abilities.
Using the good cop-bad cop formula loved by reality TV, two judges:
Richard Saunders, vice-president of the Australian Skeptics, and Stacey
Demarco, a practising witch and author decide each week who stays or
goes until three contestants are left. The winner will be chosen by a
public vote.
Saunders has devoted more than a
decade to testing psychic theory and is a member of Australian
Skeptics, a group that investigates the paranormal from a scientific
viewpoint.
Do we live in a world where psychics
can help solve crimes, investigate some of Australia's greatest
mysteries or even diagnose illness by mere touch? Prepare yourself for
the impossible as THE ONE suspends disbelief and makes the hairs on the
back of your neck stand up.
The One pits several psychics together by participating in trials which challenge their abilities in psychic activities such as clairvoyance, telepathy and mediumship to determine who is Australia's top psychic.
The winner was Charmaine Wilson (Spirit Whispers) who beat competitors Amanda Roussety and Ezio De Angelis.
Eliminations were made by the judges but the One was chosen by the Australian public by voting.

POSSESSION of supernatural powers has always made for popular
entertainment. Tales of mystical beings, spirits and magical powers
entertained our ancestors but once religion claimed a monopoly on
miracles, what couldn't be understood was feared and punished.
Seven contestants : mediums, psychics, clairvoyants, a "medical
intuitive" and a witch undergo tests to prove their paranormal
abilities.
The One's expert panel - psychic Stacey Demarco and sceptic Richard Saunders - will decide who stays and who goes until the final episode where Australia will decide which of the remaining three psychics is 'The One'.
