Excerpt: The truth behind The Moment of Truth by Isabelle Carreau; TV Squad

FOX's latest game show The Moment of Truth is not only attracting a lot of viewers but also having the latter ask a lot of questions. Is it faked? Are the contestants actors? Are they really telling the truth? After watching the premiere a few weeks ago (I watched two episodes in total), I particularly wanted to know the impact appearing on the tell-all show had on the contestants' lives. One of TV Guide's reporters decided to seek the truth for us about the lie-detector show.

To come up with the questions asked to contestants, producers thoroughly interrogate friends and family members. However, the show has to follow FCC rules so they cannot ask anything they want.

So far, no contestants have been fired because of what they revealed when sitting in The Moment of Truth's chair. That's surprising because some contestants admitted to stealing, changing credit card bills, etc. But TV Guide says that this "no firings" streak could change after the episode featuring Aaron Dunbar airs. The 22-year-old EMT "admitted to falsifying patients' medical reports and to not recording vital signs as often as he should," reports the magazine. Dunbar doesn't believe he'll be fired, claiming "it had no effect on the patients' care." Can anyone else hear lawyers preparing lawsuits against Dunbar?
Dunbar may regret appearing on the show because after taping his girlfriend Nicole broke up with him. Supposedly, they patched things up after three months apart.
