A Chicago- based reality series inspired by MTV’s smash docu-soap Jersey Shore is currently in the works. The O’Connor Casting Company is looking for twentysomethings to star in a Jersey Shore-type reality show based on Chicago’s South Side. All you have to do to apply is e-mail three recent photos and “a brief description of your awesomeness.”
“We’re looking for characters,” says O’Connor Casting President David O’Connor, who has already received more than 500 applications from hopeful would-be reality stars. “People with heart. The ideal candidates will be South Siders, 19-27 years old, who are “sexy, crazy, and fun Sox fans.”
While Jersey Shore has infuriated civil rights groups with its perceived stereotypes of the Italian-American community, O’Connor hopes to do Chicago proud with the proposed new spinoff: “We’re hoping it’s not an embarrassment to Chicago,” he told FOX News this week.
The hard-partying cast of the breakout hit has encouraged a movement of TV producers vying to bring the world of GTL (Gym, Tan, Laundry) to the small screen. Last month, the co-creators of Russian with Love began pitching a Jersey Shore-style show focusing on the lives of young Russian-Americans in NYC’s Brighton Beach community.
