How much can you really trust a person, especially a reality show contestant searching for love on "The Bachelorette," a person you've only known for six weeks?

Group Date Andi brought Brian, Josh, Dylan, Marcus, JJ and Chris to take a lie detector test in Venice, the most romantic city in the world. But this date wasn't so romantic. Here are some of the questions the guys had to answer: Have you ever cheated on a test? Are you here for the right reasons? Are you ready for marriage? Do you believe you could fall in love with Andi? Do you want kids? Are you good in bed? Do you wash your hands after you go to the bathroom? Have you ever fought in public? (Some of the guys, including Brian, thought the question was, "Have you farted in public," and they all answered, "yes!") The test reported that three of the six men told zero lies, one man told two lies, and two men told three lies. Andi told two lies herself. She said Italy was her favorite country, and she thought all of the guys were there for the right reasons. Apparently, neither is true.
