I have no idea what tivo is recording for me downstairs, but up here this new show is starting now. Let's see how it goes.

OMG, these people have to answer questions against their polygraphs? This is scary.

The radio morning show I listen to was talking about this today. OMG, some of the ??? they were asked were bad. Do fat people offend you or disgust you (can't remember the exact wording). I think it might be cringe watching tv, lol.

This is HILARIOUS. 14 mins in and I like it. I bet they haven't even done the really bad questions yet.

Naja, I missed the first 5 minutes, so don't get the concept here. Help! If they already answered these questions via lie detector, then they know how they answered, right? So what's the big deal. Am I missing something? It's not like they don't know what they'll be asked or how they answered before

I think the big deal is that they are truly some questions you would/might lie about. I think. I know as much as you, Holly.

They were saying this morning that the people don't always answer the same way but are still truthful. I know I didn't quite get it either.

25 mins in and no one seems to really be in trouble yet for their answers.

But if they lied on the lie detector, they know they're going to be busted anyway, so what's the point? It's taking him forever to answer--that just has to be drama for the camera, sheesh. I just don't get the point at all. I could see it if they were asking the questions for the first time while he's strapped up to a lie detector. That makes sense but the way it's been shown doesn't make sense to me. Unless they get to change their mind on how they answered the question on the lie detector? Ya think?

ah ha. the point of the show just hit me. NO matter how bad the truth, you win if you answer truthfully.

From the fox website:

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH will put participants to the test -- the lie detector test -- to reveal whether or not they are telling the truth for a chance to win half a million dollars. The challenge is simple: answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, and win up to $500,000. This is the only game show where participants know both the questions and the answers before they begin to play. What deep dark secret will someone divulge for hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Remembering the point is they want to WIN money, this is totally hilarious to me and enjoyable so far.

I hate this show. I stopped watching after 15 minutes. Could they drag it out any longer with that voice that says true or false??

Soon as I saw that little dark haired guy I said the first question should be, "Is that your own hair?" LOL I was right!

I haven't laughed this much at a game show in awhile...Little George did indeed stuff his pants to make himself look bigger...LOL

Well that was MUCH more fun than picking a suitcase or answering a trivia question. I hope George the little gambling Italian wins some money next ep.

They know the questions and answers but they don't know the results of the test. Is that right?

Yes Ketchup, that's my understanding of how it works, which makes my cynical self just a bit uncomfortable at what a sweet setup that is for the production team. Plus could they BE any cheaper!?

They were asked over 50 different questions Ketchup, so they don't know what 21 are actually gonna be used. And if they think the answer they gave originally was possibly going to be called false, they can change it (so they would be shown the opposite of the original answer's result). Also, the people on the bench can throw out one question and replace it if they don't want the contestant to answer...

Still, I am wondering what kind of question is going to be for $500K...the original version (in Columbia) was popular, but had to be cancelled after a woman truthfully admitted that she had hired a hitman to kill her husband (it never took place, the husband left first). The producers here say that the questions are never going to go that far....but I don't know...the first contestant got caught lying that he had never touched one of his female personal training clients inappropriately, and that was only on the $100K level..

Twinkie, my sentiments exactly. Too long of a pause for the answer and too long of a pause for the voice to say true or false. It was way too slow for me so I ended up watching more of SuperNanny than this.
btw, How did the first guy do? Last I saw he was working on $100K.
