The wife of a New York City cop who admitted to cheating on him and wanting to be married to another man on Monday's episode of Fox's "The Moment of Truth" says she did it for fame and fortune.
But Lauren Cleri, 26, and her husband, NYPD Officer Frank Cleri, 24, came away from the show with no prize money, no immediate job offers for her and a possible divorce in the future after being eliminated when a polygraph detected a "fib."
"We're kind of up in the air right now — I want to [get back together], but I don't think he does," Lauren Cleri told the New York Post.
"It's not very easy to overcome," Frank Cleri, a cop with the 48th Precinct in The Bronx, told the Post.
Frank Cleri said he had been aware of his wife's cheating but was not prepared to go public with it for the money.
The pair said they had planned to share any money she won.
On the show, contestants are hooked up to polygraphs and can be eliminated if a lie is detected. Cleri's alarm went off after she answered "yes" when asked if she believed she is a good person.
According to the show's Web site, contestants "answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, and win up to $500,000."

Lauren Cleri sells her soul on game show
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I actually watched this episode, as it was very much like watching a car wreck.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332969,00.html

Exept, I came away convinced that the "wreck" was faked/staged. (Still am)
BTW, as I think that they explain on the show, you actually are not hooked to a polygraph on air. They do the polygraph earlier, and the contestant is required to give the same answers during the taping.

I didn't say I don't watch Fox.What do you have against House/Simpsons/Idol/. . . .?
House: more sanctimonious than M*A*S*H
Idol: bread and circuses
Simpsons: best written show ever produced. Not necessarily for the spoken dialogue but for the things you have to read in the background of scenes.
YMMV (Well, there is no MAY, your's obviously does vary...)

This sounds contradictory. Was he okay with her going on this show as long as she didn't reveal those particular secrets? Or is he just upset that they didn't win any money in exchange for the confession?themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:"It's not very easy to overcome," Frank Cleri, a cop with the 48th Precinct in The Bronx, told the Post.
