Fox Lie Detector Game Show "The Moment of Truth" (and a Moment of Truth About Lie Detectors)

[George W. Maschke]

puretrut,

I commented on the sleeveless tops because it seemed to me that it might not be a coincidence, but rather part of the stage management of the show (along with contestants' feigned looks of surprise when they are asked questions that they had already heard well in advance when they were polygraphed, and the unnaturally long pauses before answering). It seems a little odd to me that women (even in Los Angeles) would be going sleeveless in mid to late fall, when the show was taped.

Common George, et al,

it's all entertainment and has nothing to do with seasonable fashion.  That goes for the public exhibition of polygraph as well; it's just entertainment.

What the camera sees is crucial to a shows likeability and that equates to ratings.  Appealing people will be "set up" to be more appealing, less appealing, less so.  It is that simple.

Dave,

If you're stupid enough to think that this message board is the appropriate venue in which to express your desire to be a contestant on The Moment of Truth, then you just might be stupid enough to be welcomed as a contestant on this asinine show. But you might get a better response if you apply here:
