Watching an episode of The Moment of Truth is like watching a really brutal slasher movie where there’s a 50/50 shot the super hot hero lives or dies. You really want to look away, especially when it gets bloody, and the payoff is usually a major disappointment, but it’s still totally impossible. Last night’s episode of the game show was an excellent example of this as a marketing concept. The show’s host says that this episode is so controversial, it almost didn’t air, which is totally TV-speak for, “we couldn’t wait to freaking air it, it is that juicy.” Bleached-blond Lauren is the contestant, and her Mom, Dad, brother, sister, and husband are all in the audience. Lauren, who seems to have some loose morals and an on-the-rocks relationship with her husband of two years, is so determined to win the $500,000 cash prize that she answers truthfully about some of the most TMI questions ever posed on a television show. Was she still in love with an ex-boyfriend on her wedding day? Yes. Does she think she should be married to aforementioned ex-boyfriend instead of her current husband? Yes. Has she had sexual relations with other men while she’s been married? Yes. Does she think she’s a good person? Yes. Oh wait, NO! That one was a lie! You know what that means?! Lauren walks home empty-handed! However, we’re pretty sure divorce papers will be in her grubby paws any day now. [Fox: The Moment of Truth] Keep reading »
