This is the most retarded show ever! If you took the test early, why wouldn't you answer the same. Of course, they will ask shit questions that will borderline yes or no, or true or false. Beside, what is the point of lying since the female voice will tell everyone the correct answer anyway? Either way, you will be embarrass.

I also thought that this was a trainwreck, definitely had promise, but poorly executed.
So my question is do these people get asked a bunch of stock questions backstage where their asnwers directs other questions to be asked and they pick the most embarassing ones, or do they have to dish the dirt on themselves before getting picked for the show?

Is Clemens Ready for His "Moment of Truth"?
Posted Jan 25th 2008 6:10PM by TMZ Staff
The most popular new show on television is giving former Yankee pitcher Roger Clemens a chance to clear his good name -- and he can pocket a cool half mil in the process!
The FOX show "The Moment of Truth" -- which premiered to 23 million people on Wednesday -- sent a letter to the Rocket's manager, asking Roger to appear. Contestants on the show are asked a series of questions while hooked up to a polygraph machine -- and then have to own up to their answers in front of an audience comprised of their friends and relatives.
Howard Schultz, creator and Exec. Producer of the show, says Roger can put the steroids question to rest once and for all -- and donate his winnings to the charity of his choice. Schultz writes, "People have stood in awe at your incredible accomplishments in baseball. This show could let the world know that you are an incredibly courageous person, as well as to clear your name in front of a nationwide audience, all in the name of charity."
Calls to Clemens' management were not immediately returned.

this makes me want to watch idiocracy again.
Assuming the lie detector test is accurate, there's no reason to answer anything falsely, since the truth will be revealed anyways.

What's to stop the show from falsely stating an answer is false, just to skip out paying the money?
Terrible show. I will never watch it again.

Anybody watch tonight? The gambling dude was all sizzle and no steak. He set the proper tone: It's all about the winnings, squash the drama. The host seemed almost disappointed that the guy didn't ruin his relationships.

They come back from commercial and he takes the money and leaves.

The chick after hairclub guy was SOOOOOO smoking hot. Unfortunately she correctly answered "yes" to the question of whether she plans to remain a virgin until she's married so no naughty questions. Still - so hot. I can't wait to see her again next week.

That's essentially how they "eliminated" the personal trainer dude.
Personally I DVR this show and FFW through most of the crud so I dont have to sit through it. I am about to give up though and wait for someone tht looks at least half way interesting. Since the questions were asked previously it totally ruins the "fun" of the show. If it were "live" questioning that might make it interesting .

So basically she wanted to leave her husband, but wanted 500,000.00 also. Not a bad plan, but I lol'ed when she lost on the question she lost on.
