Will there be any gays on Toronto’s Jersey Shore knockoff?

And perhaps more importantly: how awful does this show look?

If you haven’t heard, production is underway on Lake Shore, a Toronto knockoff of MTV’s wildly popular reality show Jersey Shore. Auditions have been held and producers are looking for “eight vibrant and volatile 20-something Torontonians from different
backgrounds, cultures and sexual orientations.” Voting is open to all, and you have until Sept 3 to cast your ballot for one of the 25 finalists.

Stylist and designer Salem Moussallam is one of those finalists. Check out his audition video:

In a 2005 fab magazine profile, Salem said he’d spoil a boyfriend “like crazy” with gifts. Awww!

And here’s Vaughn “Vonny” Sweetland, who likes “shopping, tanning, boys and putting troll dolls in their place!”

The judges seemed to love Karolina Czaja:
