'Geordie Shore': 'Jersey Shore' -- but in Britain!

Some say that what the world needs now is more Jersey Shore. The MTV show's Italian invasion is a good start. But what's further needed is some spawning: more Snookis, more The Situations, and so on. So TV executives from MTV's U.K. network has created a British clone, Geordie Shore, which premieres across the pond on May 24. ("Geordie" is a nickname for someone from the working-class region of Newcastle, England.)

So what's different about this Britified version? Not too much. But in the trailer below, you may notice that the Geordie Shore cast members are slightly better-looking doppelgangers of the original Seaside Heights crew. Watch the preview now!

 

 

At first, the Snooki look-alike isn't easy to discern; Snooki seems to be the style muse for a lot of these young ladies. But the one most like her is Sophie, who is known for her wild antics and for flashing her breasts (probably while drunk). As on Jersey Shore, the guys are pretty much interchangeable meatheads (with, no doubt, hearts of gold beneath their tanned and rippling chests). Jay may be The Situation of the group, promising to show off his buff bod at every opportunity. (To get acquainted with all the cast members, click here.)

So far, no one's bragging about their Italian heritage, or the benefits that go along with it -- like being really good at "GTL." But in class-conscious England, viewers will already know what to expect from these party people in working-class Newcastle -- 300 miles (but seemingly light years) away from the posh British royals in London.

And really, why should Prince William and Kate Middleton be the only ones who get to be on national TV?
