The Moment of Truth

How far would people go for money?

Surely money is important, but if you have to sacrifice your marriage or relationships with your loved ones, would you do it anyway?

I watched this TV game show yesterday. It is called THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.

The contestant will be asked to answer 50 questions about their personal life prior to the actual show and is hooked up to a polygraph. It will be only a “yes” or “no” questions. In the actual show, only 21 questions will be asked. If the answer is correct, they will move on to the next question. As the level gets higher, the questions will be more and more personal and will mostly give affects to their loved ones. The highest level (level 6) will gives a prize amount of $500,000.

I watched the first episodes last week. Some of the questions are:

Do you think you are a better parent to your children than your own mother?
Do you have any secrets that if your husband knows might end up your marriage?
Have you ever feel ashamed telling people that you are a Jew?

And some of the questions from the other episodes are:

Have you ever had sexual relations with a man more than twice your age?
Since you’ve been married, have you ever accepted a romantic gift from any other man?

Surely most of the questions will be answered “yes” for the sake of television drama. But if it is true, will you put your husband/wife/parents on the line for the sake of money?

I wonder, if I was to be on the show, what questions will I get? Surely have to be something dark, that if my boyfriend / bestfriend / parents know will break their heart. He..he… I don’t think the producer will put me on the show. My life is so plain boring and open. Even though I have a secret or two, it will not be as interesting as “Have you ever received money after you had a sexual encounter with others?”
