Colombian Polygraph Show Implodes Under Its Own Ratings Bonanza

A reality show in Colombia has been canceled after a contestant won $25k for admitting under polygraph she hired somebody to kill her husband. The controversial show “Nothing But The Truth” attaches contestants to lie-detector machines and submits them to increasingly invasive questions. The grand prize, if you can survive the embarrassing grilling, is $50,000. Needless to say, the show has been a phenomenal success with the ratings, as people tune in to witness the can’t-look-away goodness. The Boston Globe reports:
Dollar-desperate contestants confessed everything from drug smuggling to homosexual prostitution before a studio audience packed with unsuspecting loved ones
Titillating! The show’s demise was brought upon by Rosa Maria Solano, who last Tuesday admitted on the show she hired a hit man to rub out her husband. The hit man chickened out at the end and tipped off Solano’s husband. Needless to say, Fox Television has a US version in the works. Can we hook Bill O’Reilly’s nuts to that machine?

Host: Did you kill someone for scoring a goal on their own team?
Comtestant: Um… no?
Host: OH, sorry. Thanks for playing.
I wonder if the company that put this show was the same one that put “Laura Bozzo”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Bozzo on the air.
