Last week, this new game show premiered on FOX called "The Moment of Truth". I sat there watching this show thinking about why anybody would think it is worth it to share these things and possibly hurt people in the process for money.

The way the show works is the contestant takes a lie detector test before the show and they ask them 50 highly personal questions that are tailored specifically to you. Then they come on the show and have to answer correctly 21 highly personal questions on TV to get to $500,000. Obviously, the more you answer the more personal they get. You can stop before then at the designated spots and take home a smaller amount of money ie. $10,000 for some uncomfortable questions, $25,000 for some stingers, etc. If they lie on the show and the lie detector caught it, then they loose any money that they won and gennerally go home with some angry people. You have family, wives, friends, girlfriends, bosses right in front of you and they tailor the questions to who you brought with you.  The people with you can hit a button one time if they do not want to hear the answer. The contestant will then not be able to answer the question and they will give them a new question but there is no guarantee that it won't be worse than the first one.

Last week, they asked a guy right in front of his wife, if he was hesitating to have children because he didn't know if he would be with her forever? His answer: Yes and also, yes on the polygraph. They also asked him if he ever did anything that would make her not trust him....again, yes and also, yes on the polygraph.

I find this show fascinating. Does anyone ever really want to hear the truth about themselves, the ones they love, etc? Is the money really worth it? Would you go on the show and why or why not?

The show is on tonight on FOX at 9 pm.
