Looks like Doron Ofir Casting, the reality show agency who wrangled up characters for “Survivor,” “Wife Swap,” “Tool Academy” and the single most important cultural landmark of this century, “Jersey Shore” is out to find an few good Southern Snookies and redneck Ronnies for a hillbilly twist on the MTV sensation.
Tentatively titled “Party Down South,” the press release says they’re looking for “the hottest and proudest Southerners…who can prove that the party down South will rise again!”
The casting company plans to take a casting RV through eight states—including Arkansas—to find a whole mess of yokels attractive enough to gawk at and just dumb enough not to realize that they’ll be mocked for an entire summer.
Let’s hope this takes off better than the Russian and Persian off-shoots.
As a “Jersey Shore” scholar, I can’t wait. And I’m sending the application to a couple of my good friends right now…Bud.
See my predictions, episode by episode, of how the first season will turn out. After the jump.
