THE seven biggest bogans in the country have been found and it may come as little surprise to some that four of them are from Tasmania.



After months of searching, Paul Fenech and his team have located the crème de la crème of boganism for 7mate’s reality show, Bogan Hunters, and the Apple Isle is certainly punching well above its weight.
After an exhaustive process of elimination, celebrity judges Angry Anderson, Jonesy, Miss Nude Australia, Tahir Bilgic, Jacko, Chris Franklin, Derek Boyer and Rob Shehadie have selected seven finalists to go through to next Tuesday’s Bogan Hunters Grand Final.

Fenech told news.com.au that only the purest of bogans made it through.
“When we started the series I thought it was a bit of a joke. But boganism is a culture. These guys are unashamedly bogans. They love it, they live it, they have a complete lack of any pretence. I reckon the bogan is the true Aussie battler of the new millennium.”
And while they are all unique in their embracement of the “culture”, they all have one thing in common.

“It’s a mystery, the teeth of the bogan,” added Fenech, “a bit like the Bermuda Triangle. Could be too many Beam and Cokes, I don’t know. But I would say more than 50 per cent of bogans do have some pretty interesting teeth, that’s for sure. It could be a money thing. It costs a lot to get your teeth fixed.”
He says the finalists are defined by: “Mullets, thongs, ugg boots, flannelettes, tight jeans, a love of Oz rock, home done tattoos are important, a lack of pretence is very important, as is a willingness to be incredibly honest at all time.”

Has the name of his eight kids tattooed on his arms, all the girls on one arm and the boys on the other. “I can’t remember their dates of birth cos I’m always too smashed. That way if I go to Centrelink and they ask me, well I can say ‘here we go, here’s the date of birth” he said as he showed off the ink.
DARREN: the second worst driver in Tasmania, also from Bridgewater

Judges said he “ticked so many bogan boxes”. Talked about his favourite sex position, doggie style, showed off his missus’ homemade tattoos and has an incredible collection of bogan friends. Lives in George Town which he describes as the “boganest place in the world”.


The Bogan Hunters Grand Final airs next Tuesday, July 8 at 9.30pm on 7mate.

The finalists will have to prove themselves once and for all in a final showdown of bogan appearance, attitude and sex appeal, before “Australia’s Greatest Bogan” is crowned.
The winner will be awarded the Golden Thong Award and the Aussie Pride ‘straya ute with kegs in the back, which Paul Fenech describes as a “sick, hectic, off-the-hook prize.”

This is an outrage. Why isn't Terry there?

I really hope this current fad for celebrating the moronic wears off soon.
