''Power of 10'' is an international Sony Pictures Television game show format featuring contestants predicting how a cross-section of local people from the host broadcaster's country responded to questions covering a wide variety of topics in polls conducted by the broadcaster and production company. ==Original US version== The US version ran from August 7, 2007 to April 7, 2008 (originally as a summer series, and later as a replacement program on CBS, hosted by Drew Carey.) It aired twice weekly during the late summer and early fall. Each game featured contestants predicting how a cross-section of Americans responded to questions covering a wide variety of topics in polls conducted by CBS. The top prize was an annuitized $10,000,000. The series was produced by Embassy Row Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television and was taped at Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York City. On September 10, 2007, CBS ordered six additional episodes of the show slated for mid-season to extend the first season to 18 episodes. The summer finale aired on Sunday, September 23, 2007, due to ''Kid Nation'' airing the following Wednesday.〔(Breaking News - CBS ORDERS SIX ADDITIONAL EPISODES OF "POWER OF 10" FOR MIDSEASON | TheFutonCritic.com )〕 The show returned on January 2, airing on Wednesday nights, competing with the most-watched show in the United States at the time, Fox's ''American Idol''.〔''GAME SHOWS, POPULAR REALITY SERIES, NEWS MAGAZINES, THE SEASON PREMIERES OF TWO RETURNING SCRIPTED PROGRAMS, AND THE DEBUT OF A NEW COMEDY JOIN CBS'S PRIMETIME SCHEDULE IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY '', ()〕 However, on January 24, 2008, it was reported that CBS removed the show from the schedule after four episodes, with a possible return in the summer.
