Why do people go on The Moment of Truth? Would you?

I think same as you do - why do that? So you get some money but you loose your family! Guess famliies have a price - but then too, it sure does make the person look bad - and on national TV!! On the other hand, why do people want to sit and watch it at home? I mean, do they not have anything better to do with their time? Or do they just like seeing people be hurt! What a waste of time!!!

My thoughts exactly ctrymuziklvr. Why do these people do it and how do they do it? It's beyond our understanding but then again, to some people it's desparation for financial stability over anything else. This show is a prime example of how money is the root of all evil because of how these people will tell all for an amount of money. Very sad indeed. Very sad.

I wouldnt go on that show either. its stupid. I have watched it twice, and i seen the host on ellen. He said that the people know all the questions before the show airs, OBVIOUSLY, they have asked them about them during the lie detector, and they have the option to back out at any point throughout the show.. I think its possible these people are not real people, but just characters created for the show. What do you think ? No one is that stupid are they ?

The success of all the reality shows that are now on TV, ctry, brings to light the fact that greed is the motivating factor behind most people. I've learned that there is no limit to what people will do for the Almighty Dollar. You only need to tune into a couple of these shows and watch how people are willing to suffer any humiliation in the pursuit of money. They will sell out their family or anyone else in order to achieve their goal of financial gain. I know it paints an ugly picture, but that's the way it is.

There is no amount of money to get me on a show like that to hurt my family that way. I felt so sorry for the girl's mother and husband tonight.

I would never go on that show myself. I think the people that do go on the show think "Hmmmm, all I have to do is answer questions honestly and I get $500k? Can't get much easier than that!". In a sense, they're right. But then they get on the show and find out the questions are so personal that, by answering honestly, they're risking relationships. The concept of it sounds very easy, but it seems like they dig into your past and all aspects of your life to find those questions that will break up relationships to make it harder.

is money worth everything? i guess for some who dont value the people they love or just didnt think it can ruin a relationship... they would go for it.

no i would not go on the show,but its because i really have done things in my past that i do not want to air much less tell the world..I saw one man that made it all the way to the top,but he had led a very good clean life with nothing to hide..Myself i have made many mistakes in my past that i would be ashamed of so i would not go on that show...

A 100% NO... No and No. I've watched a couple times of this show and I believed that even if you win, you still loose and you loose bigger

I really feel like the people who go on that show must be in a situation where they are quite desperate to win the money that is available. I think it's sad, and I've only watched the previews, but it always looks to be a pretty heart-wrenching experience. It seems like there's always the possibility of so many people getting hurt, not just the contestant, but their friends and family as well.

I will if I really want to show the truth and tell everyone else the truth for them to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I totally agree with you on this one. I just started watching the show a couple weeks ago and I couldn't believe what I was watching. I can not, for the life of me, understand why people would go on this show either, other than they are greedy and are willing to throw away everything for the money. And where do these people come from, with their drastic lives. How can people have so many secrets that are so bad. I must live a very boring life because I haven't done any of the things they have. So I guess I wouldn't make a good contestant.

I think people do it just for the money and I also think half of it is made up just to make a better television show. You would not go on some show knowing it would ruin your marriage.

I would never, never go on that show. I think that it's terrible that someone would be okay with themselves going on a show like this knowing that it would hurt their friend and family this way. It just doesn't make a bit of sense to me. I guess to these people money is more important than anything. Which is really messed up.

I wouldn't go on this show. Its sad that there are so many people willing to do anything for money. We have no dirty laundry to air, but still wouldn't want to do it. My marriage is to important to hurt my husband.
