First came Jersey Shore, then came Geordie Shore and now its rumoured that Mersey Shore will be hitting our screens in 2012 too. But do these spin offs work, or should MTV stick with the original?
The first season of the long-awaited Geordie Shore finished just last week and it's safe to say the Geordies made the cast of Shameless seem like the Royal Family. The setup for the show was identical to that of Jersey Shore, however the opening credits just didn't seem as good when they were showing a dirty river and a grey sky instead of the sunny beaches in the original show.
It was inevitable that the Geordies would be compared with the Guidos, but it was surprising how similar some of them were. First in the house were Jay and Vicky who later became the Newcastle equivalent of Sam and Ron by dominating the whole show with their never ending arguments. Last to enter were Holly's boobs (the rest of her followed a few seconds later). She did a Snooki by getting drunk within an hour of her arrival, then did a Deena by stripping on the first night, then did an Angelina by leaving and then did a Sammi by coming back.
It certainly took a couple of episodes to get to know the cast and it turns out none of them were actually likeable in the slightest. Jersey Shore provided us with some brilliant sayings including "t-shirt time," however the Geordies' saying they're going to get "absolutely mortal" every episode became incredibly irritating.
All in all, Geordie Shore was completely horrendous; every person on the show tried too hard for camera time, there were no interesting relationships and 18 year old Holly proved there is absolutely no hope for the future.
All of Newcastle will be bowing their heads in shame, thanks for that MTV.
