Moment of Truth
This year, FOX introduced a new show
Moment of Truth wherein contestants spend time in the "hot seat" and answer a series of 21 increasingly personal and embarrassing questions to receive cash prizes if they tell the truth.
Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked more than 50 questions; there is no polygraph testing conducted during the actual show. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the show, each becoming progressively more personal in nature. If the contestant answers honestly as confirmed by the polygraph, he or she moves on to the next question; however, should a contestant lie in his or her answer (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuse to answer a question after it has been asked, the game ends and the contestant loses all of the prize money accumulated.
The show has broken some relationships and strengthened others. Some of the season's questions included:
- Have you ever parked in a handicapped spot?
- Do you believe you are better looking than all of your friends?
- Have you ever stolen from your parents?
- Have you ever regretted marrying your husband?
- Do you blame your father for tearing your family apart?
- Would you respect your husband more if he made more money?
So what are your thoughts? Do you love or hate the show? What do you think of the contestants/host/audience/questions/answers? Would you ever go on the show?
