Depending on who benefits, telling the truth can save you or destroy you. Being able to 'stretch the truth' seems to the key to winning. That's not necessary just in the context of reality tv.<BR/><BR/>They should call it "Truth <B>and</B> Consequences". If you get caught out for incomplete truths, you will be penalised. If you tell the the truth, you get to pick two boxes, one's a fabulous reward and the other's a penalty far worse than the penalty you get for lying outright. (There, that's my crazy idea for today..)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
