Page 10 | Friend lying about tv appearance.

A friend of mine has recently told me (& put on Facebook) that they were going to be a contestant on a popular quiz show However when I checked online to see if I could be part of the audience the website said the show had been recorded in March and will be on tv in 2024. WIBU to call this friend out on their lie or is it possible they’re telling the truth & audience website is incorrect.

Isinglass20 · 22/10/2023 21:04

Compulsive liar. Oh please 🙄 Perhaps she likes winding OP up!

Wally1983 · 22/10/2023 21:10

If she has been and recorded then she is under strict instructions not to reveal she’s been on… she’d know that if she’d actually been 😉

You sound weirdly invested in someone else's life @KatKoot Maybe get some hobbies? Maybe think about volunteering???

This is so stupid and hilarious

Oh, my son is on that! In fact, I just looked it up before I realise that was what you were talking about. They recorded it in February and then he got into the dingdong about Meghan. It's going to be shown in 2024.

Show quote history

Is it at all possible that your friend was filmed last week for the series AFTER the one they finished recording for in March? So maybe end of 2024/beginning 2025?

Frasers · 22/10/2023 22:12

You don’t come across well op. You come across like you’re trying to catch her out so you can have a go.

your story doesn’t stack up. If she said she got to question 12 then clearly you weren’t looking to be in the audience, so you were contacting them to see if her story was true and are lying.

its anonymous on here. So you may as well own it.

Beginning of week they said they were going to film, few days later they said they’d got to q12.

I don't see anything wrong with trying to find out if someone is lying to you or not.

Thank you @porridgeisbae. Especially if they have form for it!

A relative of mine was on a game show but it wasn't televised for over 18 months. I really don't see your problem.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 23/10/2023 02:15

You don’t seem like a very nice friend.

BannedfromChristmas · 23/10/2023 03:09

All these people saying dyhat OP is not nice friend. Would you not want to know if someone you call a friend is lying to you? It'd be hard going maintaining a friendship with someone who lies so much. That isn't a friend 😕

Minimili · 23/10/2023 03:56

Is your friend a member of the caravan club?

Rottweilermummy · 23/10/2023 07:34

Maybe she has recorded it already and was saying that she will be on TV, your friend might not have wanted anyone to watch I don't think I would, except my husband or mum , I take it she didn't want you as a phone a friend or I assume she would have asked , unless she is applying for next series and not asked you yet. Shouldn't worry too much about it. , Apply yourself lol

@KatKoot if a friend lying is your line in the sand, then it is.
I'm not sure why you are getting a tough time 🤔
I had a friendship of a few years that ended due to their lies.
Started off stupid, inconsequential nonsense. Then they got bolder and bolder.
When I was told she lied about having cancer, had shaved her own head etc that was me done.
I cannot abide bullshit.

I know - I've read about a few of these types. Pretending to have cancer is a new low. There must be something going on with anyone who would do this.

Jacesmum1977 · 23/10/2023 09:10

If she’s a proper friend, then why are you bothered if she’s told a little white lie which this appears it could be.
If she’s your friend, why do you want to calL her out???
Why are you bothered so much??

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 23/10/2023 09:35

If she it telling you she got to question 12, I’d be fairly sure she is lying. Production Companies are very very insistent that contestants tell no-one, esp on a prime time quiz, how far they got and what they won.

I was friends years ago with someone who lied about everything. It is a big thing when you can’t trust anything someone says. It’s even sadder when you realise they lie about everything and you watch from the sidelines while everyone else believes them.

She is hoping that by the time the series airs you’ll all have forgotten. Or the production company will have “lost her episode “

LadyGrinningSoul85 · 23/10/2023 09:41

You're a shit friend (and massively petty) and this thread is pathetic.

Also, reeks of jealousy. Are you normally so jealous of your friends?
Maybe work on that.

MaggieBsBoat · 23/10/2023 09:51

I think the people who are criticising @KatKoot for not just accepting lies have never experienced having a friend whose words they cannot trust.
If someone lies about small things they have no need to lie about, at what point do we know they wont lie? At what point can you trust them? When they are asking to borrow £10 are they just taking the piss?

Also fundamentally the psychology of friendship involves TRUST. If OP wants to be a good friend and have a good friend, then she cannot herself be without this TRUST.

So saying OP isn’t a good friend is entirely missing the bloody point. The imaginative, lie telling friend is not an actual friend but someone who has issues and is treating OP and their other friends like they are idiots. That’s what people who are lied to always start to feel like. And a friend does not treat people they care about like they are gullible idiots.

Exactly. Where does it stop?

I had a "friend" who lived for drama. Also lied for drama. I realised how dangerous she was when I caught her at a party saying I was having an affair with a man I barely knew! We lived in small town then and it could have got me into all sorts of trouble.

She is no longer in my life, I had to distance myself from her. Of course, she had a better side and when she was fun she was brilliant, but I just couldn't have her making up dangerous lies about me to get her kicks.

MaggieBsBoat · 23/10/2023 10:18

Wow! @koalaknickers that is bloody awful.
i am so sorry you had to deal with that. Thank goodness you overheard when you did. Disgusting behaviour!

Thanks. There were several other "incidents" of that nature, but that was one of the ones that I remember particularly. She did have problems in her childhood and I felt sad for her, but it just became too dangerous to be her friend.

I know of someone who went on a games show and babbled out about getting very far up during a lunch break to around a dozen people, months before it aired. He then sent an email to our (small but still) team to tell us when the episode he won was airing. So either he didnt read the small print or didnt care. Dont know what happens if you do reveal stuff and the producers find out.

Thank you @MaggieBsBoat I seem to have got a lot of flack for not believing someone who’s lied before. I’ve not said anything in real lIfe, just posted on here but I’m the one in the wrong apparently for not believing a friend who has form for white lies. Unfortunately when someone has lied before it’s not easy to believe everything they say.
