The Moment of Truth

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.

I got sick of all the people complaining about how "boring" this show is, so I decided to comment myself. The Moment of Truth is a funny and exciting new reality series. Especially compared to all the other crap that's on *cough* American Idol, Survivor *cough* I love watching the contestants sweat when they get to a tough question, and their faces when they get caught in a lie. It also shows how much people are willing to do for money. Yeah, they might make it to $500,000 (which is going to get taxed down to crap) but at what cost? It's also a great opportunity for the nosy people of American to stick their nose in other peoples lives and business, and find out all their dirty little secrets. And if we didn't like stuff like that, Desperate Housewives never would have made it. The only bad parts of the show are the frequent commercial breaks and silly dramatic pauses. However, the hilarity of it all more than makes up for it.

The Moment of Truth is a great guilty pleasure.

Never have I seen a r.v.show with such suspense,it was beyond riveting and some episodes may be harmful to peoples psyche. The host and producers at moments are vile ,and exceed decency it seems EXCEPT THESE CONTESTANTS CHOSE THEIR PATH FOR MONEY , AND MERELY HAD TO TELL THE TRUTH...BEST SHOW OF ITS KIND EVER,BY FAR. Only an imbicile would not consider this show to be uniquely entertaining you want to learn how people have their innermost secrets uncovered. Brilliant show !

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.

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.
