Surprised no one's made a thread about this show yet. So did anyone else watch the first ep and what did you think?
I thought it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It was just terrible. I knew it was going to be rubbish but I needed to see it for myself. It's nothing like Jersey Shore if that's what they were going for. Jersey Shore is a masterpiece compared to this.
my fb feed had all this shit about it from some people so i sussed out a trailer and i am shocked that something that shit would make it to australian tv.
All I've seen of it is clips from other people bagging it out, and thats already too much, it looks absolutely awful. Who at channel 10 seriously thought that show was a good idea?
I don't mind watching Jersey Shore, only because it's train wreck TV that gives me a good chuckle... Though in the later seasons it just turned into rubbish. You will probably judge me for that but that's cool, you just don't get it.
The shire is something else though, I can't tell if it's made to be hated or made to be related to or what the fuck is going on really. I don't know if it's because its Australian and we don't want to see ourselves portrayed that way, or if it's just terribleness. Whilst I find most homegrown content to be pretty shit this show raises it to a new level, but that's channel 10 for ya.
I did make a thread about this yesterday, then I couldn't access the site for half an hour (only the header and footer showed - no content). When I got back on the thread was gone.
Anyway I bitched about this show being completely crap. I am insulted how it was compared to the Jersey Shore, which is like masterpiece theatre compared to this.
There is no way this show is even remotely a reality show. It is staged and shot like any Drama, they either think people are too stupid to notice it's shot from a script which in turn makes them morons, or they are just completely incompetent at this reality 'format'.
Australians are very bad at making movies and television. If you're a writer and you are an Australian, please just go kill yourself, because you are a useless cunt.
you know what I mean, you might find some gems, but our industry seems to assume an average tv viewer is from the 1950s and will be amazed by any old schlock
I knocked off work and started watching it and was thinkin to myself what the fuk is this shit,and then after a couple of smokey attitude adjustments the show turned into a crackup especially that chick that wanted the fattest lips possible.
Although, to be fair I managed to watch a whole episode of this, whereas I had to stop "The Newsroom" after about 10-15 minutes. I'm not really the sort of person to stop watching or walk out of something, I am very tolerant, but very bad is very bad.
I don't pretend to be interested in something that is totally uninteresting. What is interesting to me is the phenomenon that there are people who will sit through that shit and pretend they know what the hell it is about. Probably the same people who read novels and claim they enjoyed Lord Of The Rings.
It's like that Essex show, not Jersey Shore. I live in the shire, and i've never seen anyone like those 2 burnt plastic girls around here. People don't wear high heels to the beach and around cronulla, the most clothing on people's feet is thongs.
The show was 99% shit but I have to day the cringeworthy moment where the dude pretty much just said yes to getting with his ex and his other ex showed up almost made me want to see more however the rest of the show was rubbish tho. I live next to a chick like those 2 orange fake chicks and it boggles my mind that they think that is attractive.
For a reality tv show that seems so scripted in such a way that all the camera angles are perfect and so smooth. Its like they have told them what to say and where to say it and it looks as if they have done several takes just to get the right shot. Pathetic...

OK, I lasted about ten minutes watching it on the Ch10 web site and this couldn't be closer to the truth. It's an absolute disaster. I'd believe the part about the participants not having scripts though, it's likely the lines are being read to them to someone who isn't illiterate.

Maybe not, but:
White sands for a white Australia sounds pretty popular down there.
