The Shire, Ten's new TV reality show
March 19, 2012



'Snooki' (Nicole Polizzi) has become a household name across the US because of the success of Jersey Shore.

'Snooki' (Nicole Polizzi) has become a household name across the US because of the success of Jersey Shore.

The question is who will be Australia's own "Snooki", with Ten announcing its own TV reality series based on the hit US show Jersey Shore.

With its stunning beauty and "tribe-like" community, the Sutherland Shire, in Sydney's south, has been chosen as the perfect location to shoot The Shire.

Network Ten has announced the commissioning of the series - which will follow the lives of a group of "charismatic" and "controversial" characters.

"The Shire is a fascinating look into a unique sub-culture in Australia and the first time a local dramality series is being introduced to the commercial television landscape," says David Mott, chief programming officer, Network Ten.

"The Shire is a glimpse behind the curtain into the heart of Australia as you have never seen it before."

"From their hectic and crazed social lives to problems with work and family, The Shire will leave no stone unturned," Mott says.

Just as the name "Snooki" (Nicole Polizzi) has become a household name across the US because of the success of Jersey Shore, Ten is hoping the characters on The Shire become some of the most talked-about in Australia.

Jersey Shore, which follows the lives of eight housemates from Jersey Shore in the US state of New Jersey, garnered record ratings for MTV, making it the network's most viewed series telecast ever.

"The genre has been a hit in the US (Jersey Shore) and the UK (The Only Way is Essex), changing the way people view television, and we intend to do the same," says Mott.

"The Shire epitomises the progression of reality television and in this social media age, we've built a show that is not only entertaining but capitalises on all the twitterverse and blogosphere has to offer.

"It is the next step in the reality TV phenomenon," says Mott.

Production on The Shire starts Monday March 26.

LOL A MALAKIA OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

And, the family that is chosen will be a normal everyday family.
1) Daughter - Massive tits and attitude who has or will sleep with half of the males in the "SHIRE"
2) The son will be a future sports superstar with a bad temper who is misunderstood by everyone but his mother, who also has lips like a shop awning AND huge tits.
3) Mum, this is her 2nd marriage and she is jealous of her daughter.
She thinks she is a natural blond and that she actually fits into size 8 dresses even though
her ass is as wide a door.
4) Dad, is a complete PIPA, dyed hair and not a trace hair on any part of his body.
He'll be a bike rider ( Harley) and believes he's a stud.
He is banging his secretary and doesn't know his wife is popping her personal trainer who is
10 years younger than her.
This is his 3rd marriage.
5) The dog, is a useless lap dog that should be shot.
6) They are all piss pots and they pretend they don't remember anything from the night before,
therefore excusing themselves of anything they may have done wrong.
7) They live in Cronulla and hate wogs ( That's us ).

Please feel free to add to my Shire Family.

Going to be a vlakia.. potentially could be funny, but I don't like far from 'The Shire' (Sutherland Council, can't understand why it's called 'The Shire') and I work there and have friends that go to school there.. They place is a hole and fucken boring. Aside from Sylvania area, Lilli Pilli/Caringbah and Cronulla pot heads, rednecks, poutanas and teenage drunks make up for 90% of the people.

[sweeper]

They call it the shire because they can't spell "Sutherland"

[sweeper]

Besides,

EVERYBODY knows the classiest people in Sydney are from the Eastern Suburbs !
