Addictive Show or Just Wrong?



The Moment of Truth is a fairly new TV show that is very controversial. This show puts people in the hot seat and asks them very tough questions about themselves and life in general. Before the show they are asked all sorts of questions and given a polygraph test. During the show they ask them these questions in front of their friends and family, and if the answer is truthful, they receive money. This women in the clip is the most controversial of all of the contestants so far. Lauren Cleri basically has lied, stolen, cheated on her husband,  and wishes she was married to her ex-boyfriend. She would have received $100,000 if she had only agreed to walk away, however she wanted to gamble. When asked if she believed she was a good person, she said yes. The answer was False. Lauren ruined her life and walked away with no money. This show is definitely addictive but at what cost. Every episode it is ruining people's lives all in the pursuit of large sums of money. Money can make for a more comfortable lifestyle. However, is $100,000 enough to give up your marriage, friends, and family?
