Is Lisa Vanderpump's Lie Detector Test Real? Polygraph Expert | Personal Space - Bravo

Posted: 16 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Lisa Vanderpump is subjecting herself to unusual means to prove she didn't leak stories to the press about Dorit Kemsley and Puppygate.


The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills restaurateur was heartbroken after she was accused by her costars of being the leak, so at the end of the May 14 episode, Lisa decided she needed to undergo a lie detector test 

Kyle took to Twitter to voice her opinion on the polygraph, writing: "Are you kidding me? NOOOOO! Who goes to these lengths? Who wrote the questions? Who ordered the test?" She also retweeted a fan who said, "That looked super set up, and John Sessa there? So weird!" Kyle commented back, "I mean, I don't think the FBI was behind this."

Erika Girardi later hit Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen (see clip above) where she claimed a lie detector test was "not the way to do it… Who does that?"

Well, someone who wants to prove their innocence, apparently. Personal Space called polygraph expert John Ross of NY Polygraph, and talked him through LVP's situation. Here is his take on her polygraph:

"I've been doing polygraphs for 37 years, and there are many, many factors that go into taking one," Ross explained.

He said people who generally get away with small lies on the test are ones for who, psychologically, the lie means nothing. "There's no loss there, you're not facing prison time, you're not facing the loss of a job or a marriage, or risking something big," he said. "The greatest threat to the person is the big psychological part. Depending on what your reputation is, if you're a big executive and what you're being tested for has significance to it, and you have a lot to lose, then yeah, you have a [lot hanging] on it."

When we explained Lisa's restaurant empire and reputation as a respected businesswoman, he said it's unlikely she would pass if she were lying, because if all the elements (explained below) are right, a lie "would show up because she has a lot to lose."

Who conducts the test, where, and under what circumstances also holds a great deal of importance.

"Who did the test, what was the circumstances of the test as far as where was it done, what were the questions asked, there are all very important," Ross continued. "If it's done properly, under the proper conditions, and the correct questions are asked, it's going to work."

There's also a medical part to a polygraph, Ross explained.

"Pain medications, being asthmatic, having a heart condition, having alcohol or marijuana in your system, they all potentially change the outcome," he said. "Also, you can't have any coffee tea, energy drinks, cigarettes before, or anything raises your blood pressure."

That said, Los Angeles has some of the best polygraph examiners in the world, Ross added.

How it works?

The polygraph has nothing to do with being nervous. Instead it will read your upper and lower respiratory rate and your heart rate and if you're sweating. The examiner asks balancing and control questions, then peppers those with what you're potentially lying about.

Here's to Lisa passing this thing and Puppygate being put behind us — for good.

Is the Jeremy Kyle lie detector accurate? Science behind how polygraph machines work - Mirror Online

Posted: 14 May 2019 09:21 AM PDT

ITV bosses opted to suspend filming of The Jeremy Kyle Show on Monday, and take it off air pending review.

The programme was cancelled last minute following the tragic death of guest Steve Dymond, who overdosed just days after failing a lie detector.

Dymond was hoping to prove to his fiancee that he'd never been unfaithful, and was reportedly certain he would pass the test.

Now, some fans have even called the lie detectors inhumane, and questioned whether they are accurate following his tragic passing.

So, how to the Jeremy Kyle lie detectors work and can they be trusted?

Jeremy Kyle reportedly employ Guy Heseltine and Tim Burgess from Manchester's UK Lie Tests to run their polygraph.

Costing £400 a test and taking a grand total of two hours each, the tests are complex and therefore highly accurate.

However, the company are sure to assert that they can't guarantee 100 per cent accuracy.

The test essentially calls on an examiner, who is a member of British Polygraph Association, to ask questions to the interviewee – having pre-agreed what they're going to be faced with.

The tests measure physiological changes in the subject

The experts then track changes in the subject, which may indicate a physiological trigger that they're not telling the truth.

These include a change in blood pressure, sweaty palms and breathing.

The breathing is measured by two rubber pneumograph tubes on the subject's upper chest and abdomen, while adhesive pads on their hands or fingers  measures the sweating, and a cardiophygmograph keeps tabs on blood pressure and pulse.

Alongside the test itself, subjects are given a pre-test interview, and their answers are put into charts which are then analysed by the examiner.

Some people slammed the show for using the machines
 

Despite their rigorous approach, UK Lie Tests confirm on their website that "no test process can be guaranteed 100% certain".

They do, however, promise that the test they conduct is "reliable" and, when done properly, proven by over 200 studies.

Plus, they give all their examiners anti-countermeasure instruction to ensure they spot a subject trying to cheat.

Discussing the use of the tests on the show after the heartbreaking news of Dymond's death, one member of the public wrote: "Lie detector tests are pseudo-science.

Jeremy Kyle is currently being probed by ITV

"Talking people into going through them on air with huge real-world consequences for themselves – their marriages – is modern day bear-baiting. This show should be cancelled. Or at minimum, end its use of the tests."

While another agreed: "It is disgusting that Jeremy Kyle and registered psychotherapist and mental health nurse Graham Stanier were able to convince the UK audiences that lie detector tests are '99% accurate' when this HORSES**T.

"Remember how many guests claimed the test was wrong? It probably was."

Mirror Online have contacted UK Lie Tests for comment.

‘RHOBH’ Recap: Lisa Vanderpump Takes Lie Detector Test Over Radar Leak Amid Kyle Feud - Radar Online

Posted: 15 May 2019 03:49 AM PDT

Lisa Vanderpump has officially had enough! On the May 14 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa decided to take a lie detector test to prove once and for all that she did not leak a story to RadarOnline.com.

The OG housewife sat down with co-star Camille Grammer to discuss the end of her friendship with longtime BFF Kyle Richards. As RadarOnline.com readers know, Lisa axed Kyle from her life after Kyle claimed Lisa was the snitch behind Radar's exclusive about Dorit Kemsley giving a dog away to a shelter.

"They're all trying to make me feel like I'm a horrible person," Lisa told Camille. "What am I supposed to do? Take a lie detector test? Is that what they want me to do? I don't need that in my life."

However, Tuesday night's viewers got a sneak peek of Lisa doing just that! The Vanderpump Dogs owner was filmed getting hooked up to a polygraph machine.

"Have you ever given a story to RadarOnline?" the operator asked.

Lisa appeared nervous as she admitted the device was "kind of tight" around her arm.

Ken Todd's wife will undergo the full test on next week's episode, where the results will likely be revealed. Radar boss Dylan Howard previously denied that Lisa Vanderpump was the snitch.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Lisa has skipped numerous events in an effort to avoid Kyle, Dorit and Teddi Mellencamp, since the alleged betrayal. She did not attend the ladies' recent camping trip, where Denise Richards revealed that she once helped her husband find a massage parlor that provided happy endings.

Plus, Lisa told Camille on Tuesday's episode that she would be attending her wedding.

"This is not the Lisa that I knew," Camille told the camera. "The Lisa that I knew would show up. She's running from everybody. It's like this immature girl hiding from the truth."

Tune into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Her hands glided across keyboards, ready to take a sudden phone call for help and relay the emergency to appropriate responders. Jarrell's first shift alone "on the floor" of the Citrus County Sheriff's Office's 911 Communications Center inside the Emergency Operations Center was July 4, 2020. Independence Day seemed somewhat fitting as it marked the end of Jarrell's 700 hours of paid intake training after her hiring in February.

The race to create a perfect lie detector – and the dangers of succeeding - The Guardian The race to create a perfect lie detector – and the dangers of succeeding - The Guardian Posted: 04 Sep 2019 10:00 PM PDT W e learn to lie as children, between the ages of two and five. By adulthood, we are prolific. We lie to our employers, our partners and, most of all, one study has found, to our mothers . The average person hears up to 200 lies a day, according to research by Jerry Jellison, a psychologist at the University of Southern California. The majority of the lies we tell are "white", the inconsequential niceties – "I love your dress!" – that grease the wheels of human interaction. But most people tell one or two "big" lies a day, says Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. We lie to promote ourselves, protect ourselves and to hurt or avoid hurting others. The mystery is how we keep g...
