Since its inexplicable rise to popularity, reality show Jersey Show now has several copycats including a [Korean version](http://www.etonline.com/tv/109086_WATCH_Asian_American_Jersey_Shore_Spin_off_in_Korea_Town/index.html), a [Russian version](http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/10/07/lifetime-picks-up-brighton-beach-a-russian-jersey-shore/) and even a [Canadian Version](http://www.lake-shore.ca/).

Now [MTV](http://www.mtv.com) thinks we need more Jersey Shore, so it has made a version for our friends across the pond dubbed "Geordie Shore"; it even sounds similar.

"Geordie" refers to someone from [Newcastle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newcastle-united). And, faithful to the original, there will be 4 guys and 4 girls (who are practically twins to their American counterparts in appearance and behaviour) living together in a luxury house in Jesmond, Newcastle. However, you can expect British accents and a lot more "chums" than "bros."

And so the world gets another Jersey Shore spinoff. Keep it classy, UK.
