I really wonder about this show. I know lie detectors are never fully accurate. Plus, they try to heighten drama so the answers can be misrepresented on the show. Something that is true can be false, especially since they don\'t get the money. Every single person I caught here and there on this show failed on a question they are sure was true. Plus, who knows if they tell the contestants to act a certain way and to answer certain questions with a certain answer. In the 50s and 60s, quiz and game shows were mostly fixed to heighten entertainment and drama. I think most shows today are the same way and I don\'t really believe much of this show especially when money is involved in the way they are. Even though this classifies as a game show, I still think it is fixed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiz_show_scandalThis from wikipedia is highly suspect:
"Though no contestant has answered all 21 questions truthfully to date, according to Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at FOX, "In the vast majority of contestants, 99%, [they don’t say the machine is wrong]. You get, \'Hmm, I was a little worried when I answered that question.\'"[2] The series requires contestants to sign an agreement that they will accept the conclusions drawn by the polygraph examiner."
Fox basically will get carte blanche for anything. If they wanted to, on one question they can change the answer so the contestant doesn\'t get the money. Also, by saying they have to accept it, they can get away with whatever they come up with, even if they change the answer. I doubt they show the contestants the results of the test. Wonder where all that money goes though. Anyway, I hate this game show.
