A [LONG] Moment of Truth

"A Moment of Truth", Fox's attempt at a new-American-Idol-like- ratings-grabber ,debuted Wednesday night to a large audience.

The much anticipated show had an intriguing appeal. It puts contestants on the spot in front of their loved ones...and the entire world. They're put on the hot seat and forced to answer questions that they previously answered during a lie detector test.

The plus: you can win up to $10,000 by simply answering easy questions, at which point Mark Whalberg will then dare you to answer the relationship destroying questions for a chance to win $500,000. The MINUS: if you answer a question incorrectly, you are leaving the show moneyless, friendless, and spouseless.

Did I forget to mention dignityless because the whole world is watching and secretly hoping you're not a total douche, but they still want to see you win the money, make the show good, and see your wife cringe helplessly?

I must say I was disappointed with the show and couldn't make it to the end. After all, do we really need to wait 4 minutes to hear if the contestant's answer is "true" or "false". Even the "Deal or No Deal" cases are opened faster than that!

Could you risk it all and face Marky Mark?

This show has no reason to go on it. It's pretty stupid for a reality show because most people don't even know what the truth is!! You're taking too much of a risk to NOT get paid something...

The show should be called "The Hour of Truth" since it takes an hour to get the response....
