No, Channel 5 are trying to reflect an aspect of reality (the use of swearing in every day life) correctly in what is a reality TV show. Censoring such words would mean that's not a reflection of real life, when someone swears in real life you don't hear the bleep machine appear from nowhere to mask the word do you?

Someone will probably mention that Channel 5's attempt at Big Brother took away from the 'reality TV' aspect anyway, and whilst that might be true, the use of expletives is still an aspect of reality.
