It's this amazing show on Star World where a person is asked questions about his life with his family watching and the questions are very very personal. The answer can only be true/false. The trick is that the questions are from a list asked before hand while the participant is attached to a lie detector.
The participant can move up the money pyramid only if the answers are right. He can back out when he wants to before a question, but once it's asked you just don't lose money, you lose face on TV. And here's where psychology comes into place. If you back out at any time, everyone knows that you have something to hide, but if you stay on and can't answer questions which become even more personal and pointed, then everyone knows the truth, irrespective of what you answer.
It takes man's most basic vice greed with another vice of lying and slowly but surely strips him, till he's left with nothing but cash.
It's a deep dark intriguing show. A must see.
