“Jersey Shore”

“Shahs of Sunset”

Premise:

 

MTV’s reality show, which just ended its fifth season, remains the slightly trashier stepsister of “The Real World,” with seven strangers-turned-friends bickering and partying in Seaside Heights, N.J.

Bravo’s new reality show, the brainchild of Ryan Seacrest, centers on six rich Iranian American friends bickering and partying in Tehrangeles (a.k.a. the Westside of Los Angeles).

Breakout star:

 

Pixelization. With all the panty-less grinding Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Deena Cortese engage in at clubs, the technique for blurring body parts has become an honorary roommate to keep things PG.

Reza Farahan’s mustache

Fight club:

 

Snooki has been punched in the face by a dude. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro occasionally turns into the Hulk, flipping beds and other furniture. And Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has been known to run into walls.

Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi might look prissy, but she’s got anger management issues. So if you’re screaming in her face, she’ll bust out a karate kick. And if that doesn’t work, she might break out her collection of knives and a taser named Crispy.

Sample line:

 

“I hate the ocean, it’s all whale sperm. Everybody Google it, because that’s why the water is salty, from the … whale sperm.” — Snooki

“There are two things I don’t like: I don’t like ants, and I don’t like ugly people.” — GG
