Oh man, I’ve been watching this show lately because it comes on before the American Idol Results Show, and its kinda lame… if you don’t know the premise, people try to truthfuly answer questions about themselves which have already been asked using a polygraph and if they answer them truthfully they get money. It has that “Who Wants to be A Millionaire” structure where you have to answer a set of questions to get up to the next tier of cash. And they have $25k, $100k, $200k, … up to $500k tiers of cash.
ANYWAY, they’ve been hyping up the season finalle for a few weeks now — a woman who completely destroys her marriage by being money hungry and going for the $500k. I was watching the whole episode, and before every commercial they ran the same hype — “Watch her completely destroy her marriage … blah blah blah” — so of course I stuck around. Anyway, final commercial is done, and the last segment starts… she’s got $25k (the first tier) and going for $100k. The host is asking her things like “are you SURE you want to answer these questions,” and she’s all “of course! I want the money” … anyway, having watched people on this show answer questions like “Have you ever been paid for sex” or “Have you ever had sex with a married man” or “Were you in love with another man on the day you married your husband,” I was really expecting some devastating stuff. Maybe she was already married, or had some children in another country, or maybe had a penis or something.
Anyway, the first question: “Have you EVER regretted marrying your husband.” Her answer: “Yes.” Computer says: “That answer is true.” Ooooh…. big deal. I’m sure everyone who’s every been married has felt that way after a big fight or something. Next question — and the and host is like “Are you SURE you want to risk your marriage…” “yes, I do!” the Question: “Would you ever pose nude for an adult magazine for $100k?” Her answer …. “No.” Computer says: “FALSE!” THAT was the big question that would ruin her marriage?!?! THAT was the big season finale?!?! What a stink!! BOOOOO… anyway, she lost all her money cuz she lied, and I SERIOUSLY doubt that any of the questions she answered would cause her marriage to fall apart. Huge let down.
Anyway, Idol’s on. I hope Malubay goes home. :) Ma lu BYE BYE.

Yeah, the show is really lame. I watched a few episodes before coming to that conclusion. And Malubay was ready to go. Although, I’d much rather say ‘BYE BYE’ to Kristi!

Yeah this show is stupid. All the questions the contestants answer previous to the final question have already destroyed every relationship they have. Why would they lie on the final one?
I was totally thrown for a loop on the episode where the final question what “Do you think you’re a good person?” She had already answered way worse questions so why lie? And if you truly think you’re a good person and you say that you are then the lie detector is going to come back true. It doesn’t matter if it’s a true statement, it matters if you think you’re lying. I heard that specific woman was a paid actress anyway. I wouldn’t put it pass them if this last lady was too.
