Initially, I just watched the short recap of the show...but then I went back and watched the full version last night and I am more convinced than ever that these are all actors...and not great ones at that. The big tipoff is that they got Meatloaf to play the girl's dad.
but it's so subjective. if you ask me if i think i am a nice person, of course i think i am a nice person. that's my opinion. how can that be proved false? thats what i THINK. someone please explain. haha
He said after the show that he already knew about the cheating stuff. As for those saying its false...a guy I went to college with tried to get on the show...he took the lie detector test, but I guess it was determined that there wasnt enough "juicy" stuff there, so he didnt make it.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332969,00.html The wife of a New York City cop who admitted to cheating on him and wanting to be married to another man on Monday's episode of Fox's "The Moment of Truth" says she did it for fame and fortune. But Lauren Cleri, 26, and her husband, NYPD Officer Frank Cleri, 24, came away from the show with no prize money, no immediate job offers for her and a possible divorce in the future after being eliminated when a polygraph detected a "fib." "We're kind of up in the air right now — I want to [get back together], but I don't think he does," Lauren Cleri told the New York Post. "It's not very easy to overcome," Frank Cleri, a cop with the 48th Precinct in The Bronx, told the Post. Frank Cleri said he had been aware of his wife's cheating but was not prepared to go public with it for the money. The pair said they had planned to share any money she won. On the show, contestants are hooked up to polygraphs and can be eliminated if a lie is detected. Cleri's alarm went off after she answered "yes" when asked if she believed she is a good person. According to the show's Web site, contestants "answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, and win up to $500,000."
Ok, I see that. Though the good person question is really not cut and dry, true or false. What if she is nervous because she thinks she is a good person, but doesn't know if others think that way? What if she herself is not sure if she is a good person or not? What if she thinks she's neutral, not bad or good? Any of those questions could cause a nervous reaction to trigger the polygraph. She could have answered "no" and still got it wrong.
True. That kind of question is BS...and really, it could go either way. The show uses that question in their favor. They ask it when the stakes are high and it gives them a higher chance of having the participant answer "wrong". That way, they dont pay out any money and they still get their ratings.
Easy to explain....you really DON'T think you are a good person and you answer that you DO think you are a good person.
