Anyone watching this, like right this minute, I mean?
It’s a trainwreck and I can’t stop watching. And I’m sure that makes me some kind of horrible, evil maniac.
I’ve been watching since the first episode, and I cringe at least once an episode. Tonite, however, seems like it’s going to be at LEAST a 3 or 4 cringe night.
I’m not sure I could do it, and go all the way…could you?
This is crazy, i think this chick wanted out and is just trying to get a ton of money out of the deal.
Good point.
But I’m wondering about the husband. He almost looks like he KNOWS what she’s going to say. :dubious:
So this is the first time I’ve seen this, and while I don’t have a large opinion on the actual content, I hate this show even more than ones like Millionaire and Deal or No Deal for stretching out what little content there is. At least the other shows don’t repeat half of the stuff from before the commercial break after getting back,
Not watching it tonight but I did watch it the first couple of weeks. Frankly, I would never go on a show like that. It would be way too easy to seriously ruin your life and most, if not all, the relationships you have with people you care about.
As far as I’m concerned there is no amount of money worth finding yourself in that sort of situation.
Eh, lots of guys know they’re married to women who cheat on them/want to be with someone else, etc…, but are either in denial about it, or they work it out, etc…
Wow that was the perfect ending.
I was thinking in more of a “Let’s plan this out and take the money and run” kind of knowledge. The smirking was giving him away, I thought.
But yes, bouv. I agree with you…you ALWAYS just…know.
There must be something about that last question that makes everyone register lying no matter what they say otherwise why would such a seemingly easy question be after those horrible ones?
I think the husband was the one to make the questions but I don’t think she wanted to answer. Her skin color went a little odd near the end.
When the ex-bf came out, did it strike anyone else that it was essentially the same question he asked for the replacement as the one the sister stopped?
(I can’t believe I’m actually watching this)
We started this one before, here.
I’ve watched it since it began, and I like it… for the most part. It’s become super annoying with the dragging and the drama and the whole “that answer is… <civilizations fall, a new species evolves, a star explodes> true” crap.
Suffice it to say, I’m hooked, regardless. But man, they could cram in twice as much content as they do now in one show, and it would still be interesting.
As to whether I could go all the way, you bet. No hesitations. And that’s why you won’t see me on the show – the producers would never take me. During filming, I’d be like “yes, next question” and “no, I’m going to keep going, I KNOW it gets ‘harder’ and I KNOW I can stop anytime, now stop asking me. Keep going.”
I’d finish up in about ten minutes, and then they’d have to - gasp - fill it with more content. 
Guh? The correct answer was “yes” when she originally answered it, but it’s “no” now (how the freak this is determined, I haven’t a clue), so it counts as false?
Unless she knew the answer, but was in such deep denial about being a good person that…
Talk about setting off red flags. If this keeps up, forget about busted relationships (I have a feeling most of them were on the bubble to begin with), we might have a fraud investigation on our hands.
I don’t think this is going to last. It’s already gone well past gut-wrenching territory, and the fact that the contestant can get the rug pulled out at any time is going to be a big turnoff. Remember, a big part of the appeal is the push for the grand prize. This is the first contestant we’ve seen come even close, and in the end she was skunked. How long are contestants going to stand for this? How long can the show maintain the tension before everyone just gives up hope? How much time can each episode waste before the whole exercise stops being shocking and starts being just plain irritating?
The way I understand it, they answer the questions the same on the show as they did during the test. They were just saying that the polygraph said she was lying (i.e. she also said yes on the polygraph but that answer was interpreted as deceptive).
There was another woman who got the whole prize once, but they didn’t ask her any hard questions. It was kind of annoying. She was a pagent girl who was a squeaky clean “conservative Christian” (alleged) virgin whose toughest question was whether she blamed her dad for her parents’ divorce. She didn’t have to admit anything embarrasing. She and her whole family were quite obnoxious.
She didn’t get the $500,000. She chose to walk before she got there.
So, for those of us who don’t watch, what was the last question?
The last question was “Do you think you are a good person?”
She answered “Yes”
I’m never watching again. The last question ruined the whole show for me and, yes, the second question from the ex boyfriend was essentially the same question as the first.
I missed the second half of the show last night; can you recap what the question was that was skipped by the family, and what the follow-up was?
Wait, I think the second was the one they showed on the preview, right? “Would you leave your husband for me?” What was the first one that the family skipped, then?
“Would you leave your husband …” was the question the family skipped. The 2nd question was “Do you think I’m the man you really should have married?” She said yes.
That ex-boyfriend was kind of a smug tool as well. He seemed awfuly pleased with himself to be humiliating that woman’s husband.
That’s right. I forgot she walked.
Yeah, I was frustrated with that choice. I feel like she could have gone all the way (assuming the show wasn’t “out to get her” or rigged or anything), and I wouldn’t have hated her for doing it.
