‘The Moment of Truth’; Divorce rates at an all-time high.

A new show on Fox, is exactly the type of show that everyone wants to watch. We watch as other people put the truth of their values, morals, and integrity on the line for money. Why? Because we love to watch idiots. They’ve been asked the questions before the show while being hooked up to a lie detector. The results of the polygraph are kept secret until the questions are asked again in front of millions of people. They tell the truth, they win money(up to $500,000). They lie, they don’t. No one but the most severely doltish pinhead would ever be a contestant on this show. And let me tell you why. They are asked questions like, “Do you wish you were still single?” “Do you think you will still be married in 5 years?” “Have you ever lied to get a job?’ “ Have you ever tried to get a coworker fired?” “Have you ever spied on your coworkers in the bathroom?” The problem is not the questions though. It’s answering them… truthfully.

But luckily I am here to save people the trouble of deciding whether disclosing everything they’d rather not, is really worthwhile.

I have created a formula in order for contestants to figure out if it’s all worth it.

(W-J)/2-F-D > 0

W= Winnings from the show

J= Potential earnings from job lost because of show.

Must divide by 2 because you will end up splitting it all with your spouse when you get a divorce.

F= Friends

D= Dignity

After plugging in the numbers we will most likely find that a person gains nothing from being a contestant on the show. The real winners are the people who watch the show on TV. While keeping their deepest darkest secrets inside, away from millions of American viewers, they are able to fulfill their desires of deception, gossip, and reality television all at the same time.
