So how much do I win for ruining my marriage?

So, I wrote about the new FOX television show, The Moment of True, earlier in January and February. I thought that it was a disgusting show that just paid people to embarrass themselves and end their relationships. I was right.

I missed last weeks episode but came across an excerpt of it while perusing clips on YouTube. The contestant, a beautiful blonde woman, was on her $100,000 question. Her husband and family members were seated on a bench in front of her listening to all of her truthful answers. For this question, the host beckoned a young man from back stage to read it to her. She groaned in disgust and covered her face. It was her ex-boyfriend. The question was asked: Do you think I'm the man you were supposed to marry, instead of your husband? Her husband looked intently in her direction. After a surprising brief pause, she answered, "Yes." The audience gasped in utter disgust and surprise. Her husband covered his face to disguise the hurt in his eyes. It was pretty sad, I have to say. She decided now that she had revealed that fact, that she would continue to play. The next question was: Have you had sex with a man other than your husband since you have been married? Again, the answer was yes. Alright folks, it's official. This marriage is over. Unphased, the woman proceeded to the next question: Do you think you are a good person? Yes, she replied (followed by groans from the audience). There was a long pause before the computer spoke. "That answer was false."

What a great way to spend a weekend, losing the money, your reputation, and your marriage. Thanks FOX, for making such an uplifting program...
