The Moment of Truth



This new show "The Moment of Truth" is AWESOME! It asks contestants personal, sometimes even embarrassing questions,and for every question they answer truthfully they get money, but the second they start to lie they walk away with nothing. In this recent episode the woman was asked a series of questions that literally destroyed her marriage. Her ex-boyfriend comes onto the show and asks if she thinks she should have married him, and then asks her if she had cheated on her husband at any time during their marriage; she answered a truthful yes to both questions. The ironic part is that when she was asked if she was a good person and answered yes, the lie detector said she was telling a lie and she walked away from the show empty handed. Is the pain and consequences this show entails really worth the money? How could your marriage be worth the shot at $200,000 ? As much as I think this show is terribly entertaining, I am shocked that there are people in this world who value you money more than their family and friends feelings. I am appalled that people are willing to risk their marriage and their reputation for the chance to be on TV and a shot at winning a few grand. Never in a million years will you see me on "The Moment of Truth", for now my secrets are staying put.
