nothing but the truth

Seen in today's philly inquirer: AP, Bogota, Colombia - The hit game show Nothing but the Truth has been canceled after a contestant won $20,000 for admitting she hired someone to kill her husband...Rosa Marie Solano admitted.."the crime couldn't be carried out because the hit man tipped off my husband and he ran away forever..."

Contestants attached to a lie detector machine answer 21 increasingly invasive questions to win up to $50,000...

On the Colombian version, contestants confessed everthing from drug smuggling to homosexual prostitution before a studio audience packed with unsuspecting loved ones.

Yup... That's what I heard this morning... I think it's going to be quite as comical and sad when it starts to air on FOX in the states!....

You'd thinkt hey reconsider airing it, but as of this morning, I heard that they are still planning to do so....

Hola!

It was popular at my GF's house when I would visit!

Guess time to watch, ?Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," instead!
