Every now and again you come across a post on Gumtree that really brings a smile to your face. This is next level though, and promises one helluva payday.
So we’ve now had Jersey Shore, Geordie Shore, and even Clifton Shores. It seems Ireland is feeling a little left out. With a trashier cast and a fraction of the budget, I present to you: Tallafornia.
You might not think Jersey Shore is the sort of show that would spark serious academic debate, but lo and behold, the University of Chicago recently concluded a day long seminar on the dynamic and active scholarly field of “Jersey Shore studies”. No, really.
The now infamous house in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, is available to rent for the very reasonable price of only $2 500 per night. For this low price, you too can now blow out your hair, put on your fake tan and be a Guido. It’s everyone’s dream. You can even sleep in Snooki’s bed.
Producer, Rick Leed announced at a press release today the production of a reality show centered on the lives of three of Nelson Mandela’s grandchildren – Dorothy Adjoa Amuah, Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway, and Swati Dlamini. Leed is known for his work on the American reality series, Dr. 90210. The three stars are known for being related to somebody important.
You’ve seen those orange Guido’s in Jersey Shore with names like The Situation, Snooki, JWoww, and Sweetheart. Now get ready for the UK version with the same custard-coloured, massive and ripped, carbon-copy cast but with UK accents. In this series they’ll do exactly what their American counterparts are doing with their existence: NOTHING. Meet them inside.
Whoof. So they’ve recently released the promo for Clifton Shores, a show about “an American cast coming to live and work in Cape Town where we follow them seeing how interesting their lives get.” So far as I can tell, this is an attempt at placing the Jersey Shore in Cape Town, and it is The Worst Thing.
