OK, I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but this show is awsome. Maybe some of you think you shouldn't like it, but c'mon, you know deep down a part of you is a voyer. Part of everyone is. What gets me about this show is that the people's spouses don't know the answers to some of these questions. I question the validity of a realtionship that dosn't share intimate details of the others' lives.
First of all I would never go on that show cause lets face it, we all keep a little bit of ourselves tucked away for safe keeping, but I think there would be a ton of questions that I would have no problem answering in front of Scott.
Questions like, do you think anyone you work with is attractive? If your relationship can't handle the fact that maybe your husband/wife could potentially find another person attractive than I think you should have a heart to heart. I think people fool themselves into thinking that their significant other never thinks anything about the opposite sex. It's human nature people. This is not saying that the other woud act on anything, it's simply stating fact. I think it's crazy that people get so worked up over finding out such simple information.
I was going to post more sample questions, but I figured I'd make this more interesting. I found a sample list of questions from the show's website and figured I'd pick some and answer them honestly. Think of this as one of those survey things that we all like to post (maybe that's a myspace thing) anyways, this is a little more revealing of a survey, which to me means way more interesting.
Feel free to copy, paste and answer these. I'm always intreagued how people think.
Do you think your parents did a good job raising you?

Would you be happy with yourself if you turned out like your mother/father?

If he was my bf than yes.
If the opportunity presented itself, would you consider getting back together with any of your former boyfriends/girlfriends?
It depends on the situation. If I had never met Scott and was still in a cycle of dating people that were losers, than yes I would probably get back with a couple.

I don't like this show. I've tried watching it, and couldn't make it past two questions. those contestants are idiots and it amazes me that their significant others who are accompanying them on the game show didn't have a little chat on the possible answers on some of these questions. But i still liked doing your questionnaire, and thought it was fun to think about the importance of couples being open, honest and secure with one another. You're the bomb, katy, and actually, quite brilliant.
That was interesting and thought provoking. I could never go on a show like that, I think it's the equivalent of having to walk a runway naked.
I don't like the show (see my other comment) but I agree with you: people who think that their significant other doesn't find other people attractive are really in denial. And I think it is perfectly ok to say that someone other than your spouse is good looking. To totally deny it would make me wonder what they were hiding, and why.
