Moment of Truth - TV Game Show
Ty Keck was a hopeful first contestant in the new TV game show called Moment of Truth.
The rules are simple. You win money by answering questions truthfully. Any untrue answer means you lose everything. There are no second chances.There are different levels starting at $10,000, then $25,000 then $100,000. After 21 truthfully answered questions you get the jackpot of $500,000.
What could be easier? Just tell the truth. But the drawing power of the show is that the contestant will be asked all manner of embarrassing and incriminating questions. The bounds of good taste are not necessarily followed. In fact they are not.
Further, “truth” is measured by some lie-detector test machine. And it seems there is no appeal.
Ty Keck has become famous not because he won. He lost. After completing the $25,000 round, the machine decided that he lied when he answered that he (a professional trainer) had never touched a client more than was necessary during a training session.
Before that he
had admitted to having had sex on the first day he met a woman, that he
had done things that would make his wife lose trust in him, and that he
was not having a baby yet because he was not sure how long he would
stay married to his wife of two and a half years. It seems strange that
after all these admissions, he lied (according to the machine) about
his “professional” ethics.

Perhaps he also lied in his “admissions”. Perhaps it was just all an act of bravado and the was just trying to beat the machine. But to make such admissions on national television, not to mention in front his wife who was in the audience, seems ill-conceived. The big dollar sign is a great incentive.
Have we somewhere along the way lost all sense of public decency?

Nothing But the Truth - Colombian TV Game Show
In Colombia where a similar show called “Nothing But the Truth” was aired, a female contestant had no qualms in admitting to having hired a hit man to kill her husband. In a court of law this would be damning evidence against her. The Colombian viewers had had enough and caused a public outcry. The show was pulled off the air.
The producers of the U.S. show may show more caution, but I am not too sure about that. Being too cautious may not jive with the ratings. And who knows what the American public wants and can tolerate?
