It's Gonna Be One "Wicked Summer": Jersey Shore Gets a Boston Makeover

As someone who lives in Boston, I obviously feel the need to post about the recent announcement of the upcoming Massachusetts version of Jersey Shore, to be called Wicked Summer.  I'll admit, I was a late comer to the Jersey Shore phenomenon.  The terms "guidette" and "GTL" became part of my vocabulary a little later than the average college student, as my roommates quickly became obsessed with the utterly ridiculous show.  And while my first reaction was general annoyance upon finally seeing an episode, I too got sucked in by the fist-pumping and crazy antics of "The Situation" and Co.  I suppose it was inevitable.  

Now it appears that Boston's "massholes" have decided that Jersey shouldn't get to have all the fun and fame--hence the recent casting call for "blue collar, hard working, harder partying, tough talking, damn good looking Mass natives" who are ready to "live togethah, laugh togethah, drink togethah and love togethah" for one "wicked cool summah" (and no I did not add the "Boston accent"...the entire casting call is actually written like that.  Check it out here).  

Against my better judgment, I'll admit that I think this is pretty hilarious.  I'm curious to see what kind of idiots people they'll get on this show, and whether the Boston version will become as insanely popular as the Jersey original.  So here's to "muscle cahs, hair products and little necks on the frickin half shell"--it's sure to be one wicked crazy time.  

How do you other Bostonians feel about this? Will you watch Wicked Summer when it airs? Do you think it will become as popular as Jersey Shore?
