I've seen previews for this show. I'll watch it. One of the questions is, "Do you really care about starving children in Africa?"
premiere bump
LAST EDITED ON 01-23-08 AT 09:46 PM (EST)I think we could safely retitle this as 'Who Wants To Get A Divorce?'

Yes, it's Wikipedia and they're basically screaming 'rumor!' in the entry, but...
Even when it doesn't go that far it definitely is "Who Wants To Sleep on the Couch/Out in the Garage, etc."

First question should have been:"Do you think this piece of carp show will last more than 3 episodes?"
nope
I quit after the first guy got booted. I'm sorry I don't believe he would tell the truth about not having kids because he's not sure his wife is long-term, yet lie about touching a client for longer than he had to. There's too many ways he could have explained that.

The previews for this show were misleading. They got us to watch because of the crazy questions they kept teasing us with.
The first 10 questions were so tedious and took up most of the show. The dramatic pauses did not help at all. They should have let Maury have his show: The Moment of Truth: Who's my Baby Daddy been sleeping with?

I kept waiting for a hole to open under the contestant's chair and drop them into the basement.And at some point, you can bet they were wishing for it.
DH & I watched too - were rather disappointed.
delays in answering from the contestants and delays in hearing the true or false? this will be the downfall of the show. They must have timed DOND to see how long it takes those girls to open the cases and based this program on that one. dudWhen the guys answered 'yes' to those questions, it was pretty obvious the result would be true. Why would someone say yes if it wasn't true?
~~~~waiting to see if Estee can make an OT thread out of these questions like PO10~~~~~~~
guess these are rather specific to the contestant tho~~~~
FOX reality head Mike Darnell: "I would never go on one of my own shows, but I wouldn't even go near this one."
Of course, FOX has always had a problem going near truth: http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/01/moment-of-truth.html
Forgot to ask this morn: the host Mark Walberg, where do I know him from? When I google him I only get Marky Mark Wahlberg.

Mark L. Wahlberg – not to be confused with former rapper and actor Mark Wahlberg – is set to host The Moment of Truth. Wahlberg previously had hosting duties on such reality series as Joe Millionaire and Tempation Island.ttp://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-moment-of-truth/the-moment-of-truth-14656.aspx

*smooch
I remember him from Temptation Island but don't remember him from Joe. Didn't the chick from Trading Places host Joe. Of course I only watch Joe.1

>Moment of Truth. Wahlberg previously had hosting duties on
>such reality series as Joe Millionaire and Tempation Island.That phrasing looks suspiciously like a certain Reality TV World report that was published a month before Buddy TV's report:
Former Joe Millionaire and Temptation Island host Mark L. Wahlberg -- not to be confused with actor and former Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch member Mark Wahlberg -- will serve as the host for The Moment of Truth.
The guy has hosted close to a dozen different reality and game shows and they just happen to mention the same two, and then use the same dash punctuation to do it? Humm... maybe one of Buddy TV's writers should go on this show.
For the record, Buddy TV has quickly acquired a fairly notorious reputation for using other outlets' information with little or no attribution (and when they do attribute a source, it's buried in small print way at the bottom of the story, and with no link to the original report.
Their repeated use of our one-on-one interview quotes without any direct attribution that the comments were made during an interview with us (click here for an example) have to be the egrerious examples I've seen from a so-called professional media outlet in all the years Reality TV World has been around.
They happened to pop up on the google first. I'll avoid them from now on.
He used to have his own talk show...years ago!!
Mark L. Wahlberg was (is still?) the host of PBS' Antiques Roadshow.
LAST EDITED ON 01-26-08 AT 00:03 AM (EST)Also - he was the host on a game show that was on Game Show Network, called Russian Roulette (that is the one where the floor actually DID open up!). Both DH and I were contestants on it in 2002 (and, yes, we both fell through the floor!).
I checked it out, it didn't hold my interest. Did plenty of channel surfing while it was on and won't tune in again unless by chance.That answer is.....................true.
Approximately 23,200,000 viewers.Interpret however you will: just keep one thing in mind at all times. We're talking about crossover viewers from a group that was partially watching AI to see how badly people could fail the auditions. That isn't a segment who's tuning in to see mercy.
And we get another precious quote from Darnell: "What I care about is it is causing a dialogue about telling the truth."
Wonder if the ratings fell off during the second contestant.

Futon Critic reports the 1/2 hour ratings change and it dropped between 12-13% during the second half hour.

I'll really be amazed if the ratings don't tank next week.

Don't think it's gonna make it. May catch viewers who were watching AI. too many *un*dramatic pauses.
I DVRed this one out of sheer morbid curiosity. I ended up erasing it halfway through because it was so aggravatingly asinine. It does not have a home in my DVR now. I have reruns of Futurama in my DVR. But not this.
LAST EDITED ON 02-26-08 AT 08:15 AM (EST)And if you count the precaps, recaps, and that point in the final segment where they actually replayed a whole two minutes of the whole all over again just in case anyone had really forgotten what happened during the commercial break, she destroyed it fifteen times.
I know that was supposed to be dramatic. I realize they were trying to pretend it was a twisted morality play on what people will do for money, although having this network put it on meant it lost just about everything by the opening credits. But the endless 'coming up next!' segments (which may have been at least a sixth of the show) added to the instant repeat -- that's a new one, and you know we're going to be seeing it again -- turned what should have been a horrorfest of pain into inadvertent hilarity. 'Will they show it again? They can't think we need to see this again: it's been six times already!' Wrong!
And because of the pacing -- because they kept having Wahlberg turn up between segments and say how uncomfortable the show was to watch, on this 'very special episode' -- you knew she was going to get one wrong and walk away with nothing, because there wasn't time for her to finish, she'd said she wasn't walking away, and there had been no mention of a very special two-parter!
So thanks to the way the show was edited, you knew the beginning, the middle, and the ending -- before the first question was ever asked.
Brilliant. Really.
The host claims the questions went past his personal limit. I wonder what he originally thought he was signing on for. Or just how fast he thought he was backpedaling from having anything to do with this disaster, while actually running in place...
If you missed it, the essence is: she admitted to cheating on her husband. (Among other things.). He got to find out then and there.
I don't get the repeat the "shocking moment" thing 4.5 million times per episode.Are the Nielson boxes now rigged that if you get some one to stop channel surfing for 30 seconds they count as a viewer for that 1/2 hour?
I really think these peeps have given up even trying to keep people watching the show for the whole hour and just want to repeat things often enough that anyone who channel surfed by for a few seconds will be able to talk about the whole episode at the water cooler.
DH and I watched this last night for the first time. Unfortunately, in real time. UGGH. All the instant replays were stupid, what was the point? I can NOT understand why anyone would be so desparate for money as to go on this show.My main though at the end was, "I wonder if her husband already knew this info?" He did HUG her after it was all over. I think most men would have completly snubbed her. It really made me wonder. Also, she didn't mind everyone knowing all her business, BUT, she still wanted them to think she was a "good person." lol. How ironic!
That was the first and last time I watched the show. It was the most painful thing I have ever seen..and that was not a comment in regard to the content, but rather in regard to the editing. A review after every three minutes, previews of what will happen after the commercial so we know that she will obviously reach teh next question..I agree Estee...they edited in such a way that you knew exactly which questions she had "passed" already and what was coming.The may be the worst show I have ever seen. I think there may hve been two minutes of actual content between previews and reviews before each and every commercial! ARGHGGHGH!!
"Tyko-ized" by Agman
I didn't see this episode, but I heard about it, and I DO NOT feel sorry for the one in the hot seat, but for her husband, and her family. She blew it all to bits.
I enjoy this show. I find it fascinating.
In polite society, there are certain questions that people aren't supposed to ask... For example, "Do you belong to the Hair Club for Men?" This show asks all of the nosy personal questions.I missed a couple of episodes because they were on a different day.
