The first episode was the lead out after the highly rated American Idol, and managed to rate very well itself with 23 million viewers, the highest rating for a premiere to that point in 2008. She said she felt he did, and the lie detector determined her truthful for the grand prize. For $500,000, Williams' final question was whether she believed her father had sexual relations as an adult with a minor. Most of the questions centered around the secrets of polygamy and what took place in the group in which Williams was a member. The contestant was Melanie Williams, a member of a secretive polygamist group. However, one contestant in the unaired second season (S02E09) did answer all 21 questions truthfully to win the top prize.
FRANK FROM MOMENT OF TRUTH SERIES
Though no contestant on the shows aired by FOX has answered all 21 questions in concert with the polygraph results, according to Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at Fox, "In the vast majority of contestants, 99%, you get, 'Hmm, I was a little worried when I answered that question.'" The series requires contestants to sign an agreement that they will accept the conclusions drawn by the polygraph examiner. Friends, colleagues, and family of the contestant who are gathered near the player have access to a button which can be used to switch out a question once per game if they feel that the nature of the question is too personal, an option which is introduced to them after the third question. Sometimes, a "surprise guest"-such as an ex-partner or a good friend-will come on the stage and ask a particularly difficult question. The questions vary, increasing in difficulty and degree of personal nature of the questions. Answering all 21 questions truthfully, as determined by the polygraph results, wins the jackpot of $500,000. A contestant may stop at any time before any question is asked and collect their earnings, but once they hear a question, they must answer it or lose the game. For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money. If they give a false answer before the $25,000 level of questions, they leave with nothing after the $25,000 level, if a false answer is given, the contestant leaves with $25,000 (during the first season, a false answer on any level caused the player to leave with nothing). If the contestant answers according to the polygraph results, they move on to the next question however, should a contestant lie in their answer (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuse to answer a question after it has been asked, the game ends. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, they are asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming progressively more personal in nature. Prior to the show, a contestant is administered a polygraph exam and asked 100 questions (50 questions in season one)-many of which are asked again in front of the studio audience during the actual taping of the program. It was supposed to be on FOX's fall lineup, but was pushed back to make room for FOX's new game show Hole in the Wall, as well as the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. On February 1, 2008, FOX ordered an additional 13 episodes of the show, bringing its episode order to 23.
