The Moment of Truth

This show sucked, y'all.  I predict it will be huge.  This country has an insatiable appetite for crappy TV.

For those of you who are completely unawares:

On THE MOMENT OF TRUTH, 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. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who records their answers. At any time, between the polygraph and the televised game, participants can change their answers or walk away from the competition.

So yeah.  That's the show. 

Anyways, the first dude to take the seat was an ex-football player named "Ty" Keck.  I put his name in quote marks there because a little digging reveals that his real name is Tinker Keck.  Ha!  Sucker.  Anyways, Tinker was billed as a former 'pro' football player.  I put his level of play in quotes because a little digging reveals that he really only played in the XFL.  He was signed by the NY Giants as an undrafted free agent but was cut in the last week of the preseason (2000).  He is currently a personal trainer and has a pretty decent trophy wife I guess. 

Anyways, the guy admitted to having a few hit-and-runs, hooking-up with chicks on the first date and checking out other dude's weiners in the lockerroom. 

The question he got 'wrong' was pretty funny though.  They asked him whether he ever touched his female personal training clients more than was necessary.  Dude said 'no', but they lie detector determined that to be a lie.  His trophy wife looked kinda pissed about it.  Game over.  No loot.

Only meat head football players and cum hungry whores like his wife would participate in such a show. I hope all these people burn in hell.

 

p.s. Great review, you should post it on a different site.

Ha!  Yeah man, true. 

My biggest gripe with the show was the horribly long 'tension building' thing.  Seems like all friggin' modern gameshows do it.  I hate that crap.  In an hour long show, I probably got to hear less than 15 questions...meanwhile, Jeopardy! can blow through 61 well-thought-out questions in half the time.  They just don't make shows like that anymore.  Like that stupid Millionaire show...do we have to hear the guy audibly diliberate every moronic question? 

I hate the fake tension build-up.

No kidding! Aren't game shows supposed to be FUN?

Looks at Jeopardy, Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune...those shows work. There's no fucking stress involved, and these shows have been on the air since what? At least 20-25 years.

I might be a little dramatic sometimes, but I'd like to become a warrior against drama.

 

Don't even get me started on American Idol

Oh Simon is insulting! That's SO different than the last 8 seasons!

I agree with Joe's first comment.

I've had some good Oolongs.  You have to be careful not to use water that is too hot with that kind.  It will get gross.  Did you put milk/sugar in it?

TheJoeD on
Took it black. I got the Bigelow kind...huge box for my desk at work.
Cavutto on
Yuck dude.  Sounds gross.  Try a teaspoon of sugar and a little milk.

Way to quit the league of LOLdictators...

Ha!  Yeah dude.  I thought it was in bad taste...
