The Moment of Truth

I was interested in seeing this show just to see what kind of questions and answers they'd have. I'm so incredibly annoyed with it I will definitely not watch it again.

The annoying host, Mark Walberg (not Marky Mark but the guy who hosted Temptation Island) asks a question. The person in the chair literally sits there and contemplates their answer for 30 seconds. This is a long time when you're sitting there in silence. Plus - these people have already been asked the questions so they know what their answer is. They are obviously told to wait for a suspense effect.

Then, they say Yes or No...and we wait again for the computerized voice to say True or False. In one hour there were only two contestants. The first got through I think 13 questions? The second got through 6 so far (there are 4 minutes left so I assume only one more will be asked).

The audience is annoying too, I think they have little signs above them telling them to "oooohhh" or whistle or clap.

OK, the question that was just asked was if the guy padded his underwear to look bigger. This is ridiculous.

This TV show did not get the high ratings it did for being boring. I will say I have been binge-watching this and remember watching it when it first aired. It definitely is less tedious(commercials, long pauses for answers) if you binge-watch it. I have no idea why they canceled it after 2 seasons. The only reason I could think of is because of the controversial episode that did not air or the commercials/pauses. It truly is frustrating when you are watching the show back then and have to sit through all the commercials. There were only about seven questions that were asked each show because of that.

Gameshows that spawned before 1990 seem to be better than the modern day gameshow. they seem to be family friendly and not so scary, with limited sex-related things.

The moment of truth is like a supermodel. Dramatic, predictable, plus they take too many breaks from their work.

OK, so the whole idea in The moment of truth is that the contestant must answer 21 questions. the further the player gets into the game, the more personal the questions get (this is where sexuality comes into play) The oohing and laughing are all staged, evidently. because some of the less personal questions still get a heavy ooh from the audience.

It's best you stay clear of this one and watch Deal or no deal, or Are you smarter than a 5th grader?, because those 2 are a true success.

This is the worst game show ever created. The contestants are asked questions that they had been previously asked under a polygraph machine - which aren't that reliable as you know. Then the game show host, who acts judgmental and arrogant, asks the questions and sets the contestant and family/friends up by asking a simple question relating to the game show question first and then leads into the game show question.

Then, they have dramatic lights and music and a LOT, I mean a LOT of pauses and dead silence. They go to commercial break and then they repeat the last three minutes of the show from before the break and then there's another fake dramatic pause of the contestant THINKING about their answer.

WHAT IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT??? YOU KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS ARE COMING UP. THEY'VE BEEN ASKED OF YOU BEFORE!!!!!! They reveal things about the contestant that can break families and relationships apart and the game show host is such a dork and is so judgmental during the entire game show. He even says "some things are better left unsaid" - um, if you think that way, then WHY are you hosting and supporting a show where things ARE said? This show will be canceled and lives will be ruined in the process. And the sad thing is that after they've revealed HORRIBLE things about these people (affairs, stealing, cheating, lying, drug use, etc.) some don't even win any money so they did it all for nothing.

The same idiots that go on the Jerry Springer show go on this show. It's the same exact thing. People reveal things to their loved ones that they didn't know and that ruin their relationship and trust. It's not an uplifting game show. It's not a game show that I would EVER be on.

Yet another show using a lie detector. They were extremely popular in USA and were used to convict people. Still used as a tool to solve whole crime cases and to this day if someone accused of a crime is offered a lie detector and refuses to take it or fails it the police, media, and public in USA will fully believe the person is guilty. There is no upside to taking them and there are plenty of cases where double-agents fooled such tests anyhow as you can't know why people are lying or why they are not believing their own stories or are maybe just too nervous.

This show is real enough. They need to take a lie detector first then answer questions in the studio to win money and if they fail a single question they lose all their money. It's simple and real. If you are about to get a divorce you can try to win $500K while you are revealing all the dirty secrets to the world causing a divorce. Which happens in the most notorious episode where a wife fails at the end by answering wrong on "do you believe you are a good person?" And hence the show reveals what it is. There are so many vague questions based on emotions that many people who fail don't know why they failed and truly believe they answered correctly. I just think the show fakes the answers to these questions to not give away $500K more than a single time during all the seasons. It shows how they manipulate the answers to never lose. Many people are ready to reveal all their dirty secrets, but you can't guess random emotional lie detector stats. Hence showing why the lie detector is bunk as you can't prove or disprove such statements.
