Question.
 If the bitcoin network finds one new block every 10 mins
where are all the 10 min blocks going?

There are 2 blocks under 10 mins in the current statistics,
most of the others are multiple hours!

They're going to other pools (BTCGuild, ghash.io, etc). Watch http://blockchain.info to see the blocks being solved in real time. Remember that once every ten minutes is only on average and there may well be less or more time between blocks. Since the network hash rate is still increasing, blocks are being solved about once every seven minutes (on average) currently. See http://blockchain.info/pools to see the percentage breakdown between pools.
