Polygraph Tests
Some episodes of the series deal with infidelity in relationships. Despite the findings of the United States Supreme Court that "There is simply no consensus that polygraph evidence is reliable," the accused individual is often attached to a polygraph machine and asked questions about the topic at hand (or will sometimes admit secrets to his/her partner). The results will come up "That's a Lie" or "You are Telling the Truth". In rare circumstances, the accused individual would admit his/her affairs while being tested (result: "You admitted to our lie detector administrator you've done so."), or if the person refuses to answer a specific question.
In some cases, Maury and the shows producers with a little help from Dave Vitalli (Special Ops Expert) would settle the accused in a "green room", where either a buddy or a sexy decoy would appear as another guest of the show in order to get to the whole truth.

“Letters have to pass two tests before they can be classed as good: they must express the personality both of the writer and of the recipient.”
