Choosing Money Over Love - Moment of Truth TV Show (VIDEO)
Moment of Truth TV Show

I try to avoid writing about negative things, but I am just astounded with the fascination with defamation and the schadenfreude associated with reality TV.

A new show called Moment of Truth is one of the worst I’ve seen, yet it’s getting exceptionally high ratings. Basically, people are hooked up to lie detectors in front of an audience which includes loved ones like family members and/or close friends. They’re then asked a series of questions, and if they pass the lie detector, they win certain amounts of money.

It sounds like an easy way to make cash, but the questions get so vicious, I’m shocked that people choose money over protecting their families, personal choices or beliefs.

The episode featured in the clip above is of Lauren Cleri who risked taking home $500,000 at the expense of her husband. The show host even said, “Some truths are better left unsaid.”

This show makes me SO angry. How are people entertained by this?

How can the show make you angry?? First of all, how can this show even be real? How do the producers know exactly what questions to ask and what buttons to push? Hmmmmm, think about it.... Are their family members (the ones who can push a button if they don't like the question) telling the producers what to ask? If not, how are the producers getting their information? Do they have a spy network? Come on, get real. Secondly, even if the show were completely real, the contestants make the decision to go on it. They are forced or pushed into anything. The only person you should be angry at is the person sitting in the chair. They are the reason the show is on and they are the reason the questions keep getting harder and harder. If these people didn't care about a little bit of money (and it really is a little. I haven't seen someone win more than 100k... not worth it in my opinion) more than their family and friends, the show wouldn't even be on the air.

National Geographic's blog Pop Omnivore investigated lie detectors and how truthful they really are: http://ngm.typepad.com/pop_omnivore/2008/01/to-not-tell-the.html
