Defamer
The Moment of Truth—the bold Fox reality experiment that promised to pulverize real lives into a fine confetti by hooking average Americans up to a lie detector and having them answer brutally personal questions about their crotch-stuffing and philandering habits—has failed to really deliver on its promise.
Still, Mike Darnell, Fox's Czar of Aberrant Programming, has plenty riding on this particular venture, knowing that all it would take is one unhinged spouse and one smuggled-in handgun to really give the country something worth watching. Last night's show came as tantalizingly close as ever: In the clip above, host Mark Walberg takes approximately 17 minutes to explain just how much was at stake in a contestant's decision to move past the $100,000 point, and answer a question so shocking, so intimate, so mindblowing, the truth was all but certain to not just destroy her life, but the lives of every person in the studio audience. Enjoy.

THAT was the question she lied to? here in LA? no wonder girlfriend ended up on a cheesy game show if she's never put out for a job. i bet even borg voice lie detector lady had a fling with few iBooks for that voice job.
Women with 3 nostrils are hot
The girl is gorgeous and you can't tell me she isn't looking to do modeling and the like, hence reason she showed up on this tv program.
Being that gorgeous, you can't tell me she doesn't get hit on and tempted on a daily basis at work and elsewhere. Eventually she probably caved, screwed one, started screwing others and at some point decided to do a boss or two. Probably not quite for "advancement" reasons but just because while at the back of her head going "probably can't hurt my career either."
Kind of like how many people do something good and in the back of their head going "this will score some points with god or create some good karma for me" which technically needs the good wasn't done as a 100% act of kindness, as such leading to a lie on something like "did you do that act for no other reason then just because it was something nice to do?"
So no I don't think she was lieing intentionally, its just that she happened to sleep with a few bosses and connections here and there that had the side benefit of helping her career.
I think the problem is that the show is rigged, and the polygraph is inaccurate. Look at the guy on episode two, how they said he stuffed his underwear as an underwear model. He looked totally shocked, and he seemed like he would have fessed up to it. And even better, it's an easy way to keep from giving people the big bucks.
The problem with the show, which is that the "lie detector" is bogus, is also the only reason it works. For $50 and a chance to be on TV, plenty of people would cop to stuffing their grandma into a wood chipper. So the machine operates regardless of the truthfulness of the contestants.
If Jerry Springer has taught us anything, it's that fame trumps shame. In a walk.
@dandles: How about the girl on the "controversial" episode? She copped to being unfaithful and to preferring to be married to an old boyfriend, but she lost out on "Do you think that you're a good person?".
That show is so beyond rigged and if I understand the rules properly, they pretty much admit it. (The lie detector session is done pre-show and the questions are in a different order, so they obviously can stack the them to manipulate the drama)
where can we find the video of blondie modeling the bosses desk?
