Mexico Shore? Sure…

27 January 2014

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

MTV Latin America is developing Mexican versions of its hit reality show Jersey Shore and viral video series Ridiculousness.

The network has ordered 13 episodes for both formats, which will have their Latin America premieres in September. The location for Mexico Shore (working title) will be announced later.

I don’t believe there are a lot of foreign tourists in the original show, and it is definitely “down-market”, which kinda puts the kibosh on Cabo and Cancún and Puerto Vallerta. Suggestions? Mazatlán come to mind as a blue collar town with beach resorts.

Acapulco? Veracruz? I haven’t been to either (nor the Jersey shore, for that matter), but I’m sure they both have a working-class beach scene, particularly Veracruz. Or maybe Ensenada?

  Veracruz… or rather… Alvarado. Alvarado has a reputation for being the champion potty.mouths of Mexico.

    There you have it! Maybe you should send that suggestion to the producers. I’m sure they’re far more clueless about this than even I am, LOL…
