Episode 5
Contestant Lauren Cleri admitted to committing adultery and that she believes she is meant to be married to an ex-boyfriend instead of her husband. The latter was a replacement question after Lauren's sister hit the button to keep her from answering the question of whether she'd leave her husband if the same ex-boyfriend (who was present to read this question and the replacement question to her) wanted her back. She won $100,000 and went on to play for $200,000, but lost everything on the question, "Do you think you're a good person?" She answered "Yes," which, according to the polygraph, was revealed to be false. The husband, a New York City cop, already knew about the cheating, and Lauren claims she wants to stay with him, not the ex-boyfriend.[3]
This episode was the first episode said to be scrutinized by the producers about airing the episode at all; host Mark L. Walberg alleged on air that it narrowly made it to broadcast. Narration added in post-production warns viewers of the difficulty of watching the content.
In addition, clips from the episode have been shown on news channels as a behind-the-scenes look into the show.[citation needed] In May 2008, Frank Cleri filed for divorce after discovering her continued sexual relations with her ex-boyfriend along with several other men, "sometimes with more than one man at one time" Cleri stated.[citation needed]
