Temat: The moment of Truth
According to the news, Polsat has bought the rights to the infamous show.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moment_of_Truth_(US_g...
"Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked more than 50 questions; there is no polygraph testing conducted during the actual show. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming progressively more personal in nature. If the contestant answers honestly, according to the polygraph results, he or she moves on to the next question; however, should a contestant lie in his or her answer (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuse to answer a question after it has been asked, the game ends. If he/she gives a false answer before the $10,000 level of questions, he/she leaves with nothing; after the $25,000 level, if a false answer is given, the contestant leaves with $25,000 (during the first season, a false answer on any level caused the player to leave with nothing). For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money. A contestant may stop at any time before any question is asked and collect the money he or she has won. Although a person may stop after any question, once they hear the question, they must answer it or the game is over. Answering all 21 questions truthfully, as determined by the polygraph results, wins the jackpot of $500,000."
The episode that's been the most controversial so far:

Questions
Would you ever take part in a show like this? Do you think you might watch it? Is offering people half a million dollars for the truth (which they wouldn't otherwise divulge even to their partners or family) ethical?
