Why title a blog "The only way is Essex"?

If you ever get bored of American reality TV shows, there are plenty in England to catch up on. Although Hollywood is not here to provide a basis for "The Hills" or New Jersey for "The Jersey Shore", there are places like that in the country. Newcastle in the North of England provides the backdrop for the new reality TV show "Geordie Shore". Subtitles are used regularly because of their accents and their motto is similar to the cast of "Jersey Shore"...Gym, Tan, Laundry.

There is a reality show called "The Only Way is Essex" and it is and truly will always be, the only way. Essex stereotype is girls wearing short mini skirts and high white stilettos, men wearing jeans with a polo shirt tucked in and hair swept to one side. You walk down the main street during the day and people are dressed like they are ready for the night scene (clubbing, dancing, maybe a few drinks). It's a British Award winning reality TV show for a reason. Never watched it? Catch up on youtube or find something more productive to do.
