So is anybody going to watch this show that comes on after American Idol? People having to tell the truth for money....

Starts in a couple of minutes for those on in the Eastern and Central time zones.

Thanks for the reminder. I would've missed it.

Fritzo's right, though. Pretty low brow stuff.

No, reality shows are for the same people that wear "Crocs" and "deisel" jeans. I just don't get it.

Yeah, this sucks. Base a show on a technology that is NOT reliable at all. And what's the point of lying even if it were 100% accurate? You lie to save face, and the machine's just going to tell everyone that you lied and you lose the cash. So in this situation it's in the person's best financial interest to answer all questions truthfully, no matter how bad the question, because the audience is going to find out the truth anyway.

Might as well give up on that thought....they are really trying to draw it out and inject some false drama.

It sucks

IF the show has REAL GUTS, I wonder if they'd ask a really incriminating questions such as

"Have you ever had sexual relations with a minor?"

"Have you dealt drugs to kids?

"Have you looked at child pornography?"

yeah, local radio show has been talking about it and the questions they said were going to be on the show were very tame and stupid.

Actually,. lie detectors are 80%-90% accurate against telling a lie. It's close to 100% on telling a truth. Check out the recent Myth Busters where they tried to fool a lie detector.
