Like most people, I had to tell a white lie here and there. I think I was pretty good at controlling my facial expressions and body language so not to have people discover that I just told a lie. However, I doubt I would be able to control myself enough when trying to lie in front of cameras and a few million viewers.

The idea of a game show requiring contestants to lie is nothing original. Nonetheless, NBC decided to get its own "lie detector" game show. Yep, it seems we, the viewers, will want to watch this type of TV quiz/games in the coming months since FOX and ABC will also have their own "lie or bluffing" game show titled Nothing But The Truth and Duel respectively.

Who would agree to be given a lie detector test on national television?

Well, we'll find out in a few months, as FOX will air an American version of the hit Colombian game show Nothing But The Truth. Basically, the idea is this: a contestant is hooked up to a lie detector. He's asked a series of questions, and if he passes, he wins $50,000. If he doesn't, he has to face the wrath of friends and family backstage regarding what he lied about.
