    The moment of truth

    I saw this show for the first time last night and I am shocked. Has anyone seen it? Its a controversial idea but I have to admit it does make for some awesome TV.

    What do you guys think?

    It's more of the same. Trotting out shamelessly empty souls to the delight of prime time audiences. It makes us all feel better about ourselves to see shitty human beings. Occasionally they throw in the "feel good" contestant who lives the honest life and loves his family and everyone says, "Awwwww. How nice. Now where's the next freak show!?"

    It's programing like that that shows just how low we have sunk as a society.

    Isn't that more demonstrated by the availability of freak show contestants?

    This is the real mystery. Unless you have absolutely nothing to lose, this show will damage your life and the thing is, the more you're willing to destroy your family/marriage/relationship then the more likely it is that you'll bomb one of the questions from the lie detector. There is still an element of luck as a lie detector isn't an exact thing.

    yup. like the lady that ruined her marriage and life and then blew the question asking if she thought she was a good person

    and i think they have to answer questions before hand anyways so that the people on the show know what to ask. so they know what questions are coming. they know their lives are over. but they still do it for money

    these people are whores

    These people looking for their " 15 minutes of fame" often end up with "15 minutes of shame," IMO.

    Anyone who would sacrifice their family for cash is sick. This shit should not be on tv.

    The phony outrage on this thread makes me wanna puke!

    First off, if you all are so damn offended you wouldn't have watched it. Second is that most of the crap they confess was likely known or suspected by the family member they are hurting. I actually think this all these lies being revealed to them is probably better for them anyways.

    Good Points, Madtown.

    I don't care for "reality" shows in general. All of them, indeed, are much more of a freak show than a cross section of American normalcy. All I've seen of this Moment of Truth thing are the ads and previews that were on. As you say, though, undoubtedly most of the "shocking revelations" are mostly old news to the relevant acquaintances.

    The bottom line, though, is that the "damned fools" on the show are extremely well paid--laughing all the way to the bank.

    the bottom line is the show sucks! the premise may be interesting and controversial, but its just not worth watching...

    Don't tell me you don't watch Best Week Ever on VH1. It is required viewing and makes you smarter.
