MTV Exposed

Exposed is a television dating show which debuted in December 2006 on MTV. It is produced by Kallissa Productions and Endemol USA. It is also the successor of the dating show Next. The premise is based around the use of lie detection software. First, the initial dater and a friend introduce themselves, and the friend sits in an RV where he or she can monitor the date. The date consists of the initial dater simultaneously asking questions of two potential mates, followed by a few individual questions to each of them during the "hot seat" portion of the date. Everything said by the daters is being run through lie detection software. Through an earpiece, the friend in the RV tells the dater if what one says is a lie or the truth. At the end of the date, the dater reveals that the statements made during the date have been run through lie detection software, usually to shocked reactions from the two contestants. Next, the dater will ask the two contestants if there is anything they would like to 'come clean' about, meaning that they have a last chance to reveal a lie. It is most common to see both daters not respond to this, though they know they have (usually) both lied. Then, the dater goes back to the RV to consult with his/her friend and decide which of the two competitors he or she wants to pick. He or she then returns and confronts the two daters, exposing one (or multiple, occasionally) of their most notable lies, before revealing which one he/she has chosen. Rarely, there have been instances where a dater has not lied, but instead, a time where they have told the truth and the truth was not a suitable or satisfactory answer to a question will be played during this black-and-white flashback sequence. This is repeated twice per 30-minute episode. MORE
