Lake Shore auditions over, T.O. Snooki TBD
Lake Shore, the Toronto version of Jersey Shore, MTV’s sociological experiment gone horribly wrong, wrapped up auditions this weekend and has already posted photos of the aspiring JWows and Situations. The pool of contestants will be narrowed down to 25, and then the public gets to fist-pump, er, vote its top eight picks onto the show, which is slated to begin shooting in the winter or spring.
Creator Maryam Rahimi got some heat early on when she said the show would be focusing on Persian “princes and princesses” and has instead decided to open it up to fame whores of all ethnicities. “Initially the show was going to focus on a group of hipsters of Persian descent, but after a lot of thought, [director] George Tsioutsioulas and I thought it would be much more riveting to explore how eight extremely diverse 20-something Torontonians cohabit,” Rahimi said in a statement.
In true MTV style, the emphasis here is drama, whether it’s real or manufactured. The show’s Web site openly states that actors are allowed to audition and that:
Drama, drama, and more drama is what the cast will be facing! It’s your crazy girlfriend vs. boyfriend vs. your ex who is now dating your friend who has a crush on your boyfriend. This show is a drama with fist pump, and attitude spilling all over your couch!
There’s also this:
The cast will be going to “unique” underground parties where surprises will be awaiting them. The viewers…BEWARE! The show might not be so G-rated!
One word: Goodhandy’s.
Audition tapes are still being accepted, but callbacks begin in two weeks, so get a new haircut and think of ways to milk those 15 minutes.

Please spare us all.

Those 2 classy ladies are the greatestttt!you ladies got it for sure!! Loveee you danaaaaa & eastonnnn <3
LOVEEEEEEEEEEE my twin sistersss <333
WORK ITTT ;)
Dana and Easton, yeeeah! <3
holding it down!!!! <3
Meh, those chicks are OKAY. Ive definitely seen better. And just because there are 2 of them, doesn’t mean they should make the show. The show should be about how entertaining, how much drama, drinking, partying, hootchie-ness someone can bring…not just about 2 girls that look the same, they will be okay to look at, at first…but then it will just get BORING. They seem too young and immature just from reading posts on the lakeshore website on fb and here and what their friends say on comments. Tres-Chidlish.
Hire my friend mEAgan. She’ll give you the entertainment you’re looking for! Shes hot, sexy, all the guys love her!! I’m excited to see what selection are chosen. She best be one of them :)
Ohhh I just love how haters take the time to comment this blog about us. ANYWAYSSSS see you on the show lake shore ;)
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaterz; these girls are beautiful & will def make the show before all of you. lookin forward to seein it ;)
anything but boring actually;)
and far from being immature.
hard to say by just seeing a PICTURE isnt it?
& not acutally knowing our personalities.
obviously you have no idea.
look forward to the top 25 ;)!
dana & easton<3
soooo pretty, you girls will for sure make it!
lakeshore loves the twins! ;)
only way im watching it is if those 2 beautiful young dolls are on it ;)
LMAO, this show will never air. Keep holding your breath, whores
the only way this show will be good if robyn perza is in it. These people so far suck none are funny or weird. i know 500 people who will not watch is robyn isnt picked
These twins are hot but after watching their audition video they were blah . Little to young to handle a show like Lakeshore. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz blond twins are over rated
I agree how old are these twins 16? lol they still have braces on for godsake!
Why are there honestly soo many haters on this, if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say it at all. I’m not even friends with these twins although i know some of their friends & all you who are calling them immatture you can’t judge a book from it’s cover. Yet alone talking negative your the one showing immatturity. So how about you think before you speak. I WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK EASTON AND DANA! I really hope you make it on the show :) <3
Whad up HATERSSSSSSSSSSS ?!
Geez i can smell the jealousy from here ;)
My twins are anything BUT boring. Candace is right. Don’t judge people by a simple picture, have more respect then that.. Although that may be asking a lot from jealous idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about. Keep hatin’ it just shows YOUR immaturity level. “Tres-Chidlish!”
Also what does having braces have to do with being on the show? I’d like to see your ugly ass come out from behind the computer screen who has nothing better to do then make stupid irrelevant remarks at people you don’t even know. Man you are a winner ehh??? Maybe we’ll see you on the show… Yes? No? Didn’t think so bud. LOL !
The bitchy talk. The jealous stare. The funniest part; You think they care !
xoxo love my twinsss <3333333 TOP 8 BITCHEZZZZZ.
Ohh Julie ;
I LOVE YOU <3
I love you too Candace <3333
Saw the audition it was boring as hell they sound like they have tones of fun ….NOT! It’s one thing being pretty but being boring…. I’m vocing my opinion on something I’m going to be watching so I’ll say it proudly I AM A HATER!!! There ‘s going to be negative and positive feedbacks if you can’t handle the negativity than get out of the spotlight. Or are they to young to deal with it? lol give me break this type of outlash just proves my point it’s a freaking opinion deal with it lol
Hey Twins! Interested in selling your souls? Heheheh, only one of you will get on, prepare to deal with it lol.
Whatever channel this is going to.. you’ve lost my business forever.
Canadian Television is just clawing its way up from the mockery it has been (other than SCTV) for the last 50 years. Why throw us back down the hole?
I hope whoever thought this was a good idea never breads. We have enough idiots in the world as it is. And they are being showcased to other idiots for profit
Hope the twins make it they are pretty, and classy!
Repersenting the boring but loved Welland <3
You guys will make the show amazing, best of luck.
I agree with Frank here. This show is embarrassing to a progressive, smart, creative and innovative city like Toronto and those of us who believe we are a city that should be better than this. Why, when this city is just finally getting noticed internationally for being best in class in so many categories.. entertainment, food, design, technology, arts, architecture etc.. would anyone believe this is a good idea for our city. There are enough superficial douchebags on TV embarrassing themselves and their cities we don’t need more doing just more of the same to our city. It doesn’t matter that they are diverse bimbos and meatheads. Our downtown entertainment district is full of 905 trash that it is already destroying the creative fabric and unique soul this city has to offer. But atleast we can contain that within those afterhour bar walls. It is sad you want to broadcast nationally this kind of superficial existence and risk the world thinking this is what defines Toronto as a city. Come on, our city is better than this. Canadian content and talent, is better than this. It is easy to stoop to douchebag entertainment level but don’t expect us Torontoians, who believe smart, funny, clever and ambitious people are what really defines our city and are tryting to get the world to notice that, to get excited about this pathetic attempt at Toronto ‘reality’
Who’s really gonna watch this show? Seriously…
U will Jason. You will.
GO EASTON AND DANA..SHOW THEM YOU ARE NOT BORING BUT VERY CLASSY BEAUTIUFULL YOUNG GIRLS FROM THE NIAGARA AREA…GO GIRLS GO…VERY CLASSY!
How uninspiring. Jump on the band wagon and milk it for all it’s worth!
I AM LakeShore…no really, that’s my hood. The ladies call me the “Incident”, because before every situation, there’s always an INCIDENT… Good luck to the twins… However , it won’t be a show without the showstopper;) enjoy.
If there is a God, this show will never come to fruition.
To “the twins”: I think Toronto Life is mocking you when they call you classy. Don’t get too excited because from your pictures, you dress like the stereotype of trash. But like you said, you probably have great personalities! Sorry about that.
AND THE TWINS FAIL!
Hector is right. They are absolutely mocking you two. How embarassing for you girls.
