The moment...

of truth. No not the quote but the game show. Having got into it recently my confession is that yes it should be regarded as garbage at the same time though it does have a unique appeal / allure. Maybe because we are always drawn to the dark side like moths to the flame.

No there is nothing wrong with the 'dramas' of the players. People who took money from the family business, overcharged customers, had more than 10 night stands, daughters that felt sexual attraction for their mother's boyfriend, do not feel in love with their current partner, thinking of breaking up while they have a parallel illicite affair... Just ordinary people like you and me. With secrets, weaknesses, passions.

The difference being that these people who participate in the show get up on the stand knowing that they will hurt people - close people, including themselves. And for what ? Most people settle for 10.000 or 25.000 euros.

Hardly enough money to secure them financially, certainly not money to cover towards their basic needs, more likely to cover their wants. I don't feel sorry for the main players, I can't though not think about the surroudning family circle. Don't they know how it is gonna end up? Don't they have a choice? Or do they sell their collective family dignity to 'support' their son/daugher/boyfriend/girlfriend etc (and share the loot?).
