Salutations

A quick post to send my best wished to the girl, the blond, the American ... or last candidate in the show "The moment of truth"

To summarize this "reality" show, a candidate answers to 50 questions under a lie detector without knowing the results, this, before the show. On air, she is asked the same questions, and every time she says the truth, she earns more money. So far, nothing very complicate, people usually go up to $100 000 ... boring ...

But, for the first time, some interesting things happened ... After answering regular question, the girl had to say she stole money in front of her father, she would get back with her ex-boyfriend in front of ... her husband, she had sex with somebody else as she was already married ... she reached the $100 000 level, destroyed, thing it couldn't get worse ... so she goes on, next question: "Do you think you are a good person?" After what she said, pretty easy ... hum, and there we go, she says "Yes" ... the machine replies "This answer is ............. false", everybody go home (by himself...), divorced, the father doesn't want to see her girl, the sister is mad, the ex boyfriend doesn't believe she had sex with somebody else, and ... she leaves as she came ... without more money!!!



you can watch the show here : http://www.fox.com/fod/player.htm?show=mot

Just to show the American culture ... what kind of level it can reach ... how low it can get ... sometimes ...

Step 2/3 ... Get a date

3 comments

I know I will live that "******" country, just need to know when!!

After my thoughts, my calculations and my ideas on the subject, I finally decided to come back in France this summer to start working again in September after a re-adaptation time!!According some people, my French speaking get degraded for the last 2 years I spent here, I count on all of you to help me to fix that little issue ;)

So, with all this, I still don't have a date. A date where you'll see me in France without the idea "This guy is going to leave again", a date where I will be for good in France, starting again my life in this wonderful country (I can tell now ... it is a wonderful country ;) ), and catching up the time lost with Family & friends. That date is going to be ... July 31st. 6 months before, this is just an estimate, but it's also an objective to not over pass, I may need your help!!!

I may need your help too for something else. I am gonna have to find a job in France, and if you heard anything about administration on big infrastructure, programming, I would be very greatful if you could forward me informations (I may pay you the diner too ... to negotiate ;) )

I updated the counter on top of the page, because time is now counting down ... :D


See you in couple of days for the last step ... what could it beee .... ?
