Why Not To Settle, Brought To You By Moment Of Truth

This Playmate-y chick is by far the most tragic contestant yet to appear on Fox's Moment of Truth, wherein contestants willingly attach themselves to polygraphs, submit themselves to the probing questions of loved ones and reveal dark, uncomfortable truths. Trapped in a Love Triangle with two nerdy IT guy types, perhaps she thought coming clean to her husband about her unresolved feelings for her ex would be easier if won a hundred grand or so to split with him. Perhaps she thought she was doing the right thing. But O! The irony. Perhaps she had not prepared for the question that knocked her out of the running.

Tyra Banks Is A Liar

On her talk show today, Tyra decided she wanted to play Moment of Truth, that game show that hooks people up to lie detectors and then asks them difficult questions. Tyra's set of questions (which we're pretty sure her staff wrote) included: "Did you really make up with Naomi Campbell?" (She said yes, which was apparently true.) "Are you jealous of Oprah?" (No, proved to be false.) "Do you really care about girls' self-esteem?" (Yes, true.) In the clip above she's asked if she thought each winner of America's Next Top Model deserved the title. Check out how she fared.

"Moment Of Truth" Is An Hour Of Awesome

Moe — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

On Moment of Truth, a new "game show" on the Fox network, contestants are strapped to polygraph machines and forced to answer deep, personal questions submitted by the people who know them best. If they tell the truth, they get a half-million dollars to split with the spouse or girlfriend who presumably leaves them in the wake of all that painful honesty, and if they lie, they get waterboarded or something. The only not awesome aspect of this show, which premiered last night, was waiting while the polygraph took 90-some seconds to issue its decree. The guy in the clip above, a personal trainer, seemed initially and typically cuntbaggian with his honest answers to, "If your wife's stomach got flabby, would you encourage her to get liposuction?" and "Do you think you are the best-looking guy you know?" But he gained a little complexity (poignancy, even!) when it turned out that he'd held off having kids with Catia not because he worried about gross stretch marks but because he worried she wasn't his eternal life partner — and yet, he had never flirted with girls on the internet.
