Lie To Me


Currently released just this January, produced by 20th Century Fox Studios, a brand new series to watch for.

From writer Samuel Baum ("The Evidence") and the executive producers of "24" and "Arrested Development" comes LIE TO ME, a drama series inspired by a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body, and voice to expose the truth in criminal investigations.

When you scratch your chin, wring your hands, wrinkle your nose, or swallow too much, DR. CAL LIGHTMAN knows you're lying. He doesn't just think so, he knows so, because he's taken his exceptional skills of observation to become the foremost deception expert in the country. Being a human lie detector, Cal can uncover the deepest secrets and crack the hardest cases. More accurate than any polygraph test, he knows when those in front of him are being less than forthcoming, be they family, friends, or complete strangers.

Cal heads up a private agency contracted by the FBI, local police, law firms, corporations, and private individuals when they hit roadblocks in their searches for the truth. Joining him are a variety of experts in the field of behavioral evaluation: DR. GILLIAN FOSTER is a gifted psychologist and Cal's professional partner, a woman whose guidance Cal needs, whether he knows it or not; WILL LOKER is Cal's lead researcher, and he's so aware of the human tendency to lie that he's decided to uncomplicate matters and practice what he terms "radical honesty": he says everything on his mind at all times. RIA TORRES, the newest member of the team, arrives at the truth differently by acting more on instinct and using her natural, less-studied ability to read body language and catch certain clues that Cal's other pledges may miss.

Brian Grazer, David Nevins, and Samuel Baum serve as executive producers in conjunction with 20th Century Fox Television on this intriguing character drama based on the science of emotion. The show will tell stories that are not simply about the search for an elusive criminal, but also about the search for something even more difficult to pin down: fundamental human truth.

LIE TO ME probes how people can deceive themselves just as easily as they deceive others, and explores the idea that there's nothing more revealing than when we choose to tell the truth and when we decide to lie.

PBB Teen Edition Plus: SCRIPTED!!

April 17, Thursday

This Episode got me all stirred up, its all happening too fast, is this really a "REALITY SHOW" or everything is just based in a piece of paper, Really now!! They say that the people who watches the show (text votes) are responsible for the housemates destiny if they should stay in the house but the way i see it, its BIG BROTHER (Kuya) who decides who's gonna go or stay.

Its a battle between the two nominees: LINDA and JOSEF, here's when the manipulation begins. Kuya give Linda a choice between figthing for a chance to stay or a voluntary exit in exchange for a reuniting family outing in which obviously she couldn't refuse. I didn't see that coming, NOT! and so the voting stops and its all confirmed and at another point about Josef, her aunt's health problems, why bring in the guardians in the first place, surely during the first season of teen edition none of this had happened and why now? a hidden agenda perhaps? If a guardian wishes to leave the so would be the teen representative and what choice could they have, another voluntary exit possibility. Then comes father and son: JOHN and KEVIN, about the circumcision (tuli) issue, does Kuya know that he's already crossing some cultural borders? Kevin may be part Filipino but hasn't he noticed that theres another part of him that's not and because of the tension and stress Kevin may be another candidate for a voluntary exit. Isn't it to obvious, Kuya may have already chosen the big winner and the only thing that matters now are the others.

assuming Kuya's voice:

"you! I don't like you, go home!"

"you! you're annoying, get out!"

"you're not circumcised, you're evicted!"

"you! you! and you! you're not supposed to be here, go pack your bags!"

"you! you're my favorite, you're the BIG WINNER!"


will you tell me is that scripted or what!
