TARA: What's with all the swearing?         


Author: Martin Phipps

There were a few teams that were awfully weak on yesterday's TARA and
a few teams that seemed pretty strong. One of the things that
surprised me was the swearing: the words were beeped but we could hear
"f**k" and "f**king" and "s**t" a lot. I know it was a tough race
but, boys and girls, please watch the language because everybody knows
what you're saying. The cameramen are there to catch drama after all
and aren't going to look away when you have a hissy fit! TARA is
different from TAR because people are representing their respective
countries. You'd think that would be enough for them to behave with a
degree of decorum!

It is up on youtube. Just do a search for TARA3.

Great first episode that really put the teams to the test of their limits
early on.

You gotta be kidding. Now there are complaints about words that were
bleeped??? They're just fucking words. They won't kill anybody.

I just read this article (link below) on Big Brother in the UK. Someone was
thrown off the show for using a bad word...then the rules were changed (near
the end when an automatic boot would mess up the show) to avoid throwing
another player off the show for the same bad word.
