Good/bad taste?
« on: May 1st, 2007, 9:55am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Is there such a thing as having good and bad taste in TAR teams (and other show's contestants)? Or is it just a question of mainstream/non-mainstream?

Liking Marshall and Lance, Jonathan and Victoria = Bad Taste definitely
 
Others depend on opinions and perceptions.

Yes it does
 
The producers always try to balance the amount of good teams against teams that would likely be hated

I don't think it's bad taste because you like Jon/Vic, it's a matter of your personal opinion.  
 
Some people may root for them because they know them in everyday life, not because they like them on TAR. So in a way, some people are almost forced to like them.

Like I was forced to like Terry in Survivor.
 
Note : My mom went to school with him.
Terry was her best friend's Brother's best friend

Generally, i don't see how you have a "good taste" in TAR teams you root for if you are rooting for Jon/Vic. Smiley

Well, I'm sure there are Jon/Vic fans that would say the same about you with one of your teams.

John and Vic fans are only fans because they obviously know what they are like in RL not what they are on TAR if its just what is shown on TAR you need to get oyur head read liking such an abusive neurotic couple is crazy

I don't know Jon and Vic at all, but they were my 3rd fave team in that season.

TylerC, the problem with that is if they said Kris and Jon's (a team that i'm supporting) as bad as Jonathan and Victoria, no one cares about them because all of us can differentiate the facts from the faults.
 
Besides, i'm pretty sure personal opinions are always allowed on this site and i'm also very sure that none of my posts so far in this thread has been absolutely hurtful or insulting to Jon/Vic fans. (Because i don't see Genius committing suicide just because i said he had a bad taste for rooting for them) :laff:
 
However, i'm really glad that you're always practicing critical thinking skills and active responsiveness whenever you see a Popo's message. It helped me alot with my brain development skills too! (As in reaching a higher level in thinking such as highe IQ and EG) Smiley
