Kill Me Now: “Party Down South 2” Is On Its Way
Clearly Photoshopped Bullshit
Biloxi, ready your rape kits.
As if one whoring of Southern culture and abandonment of even the most basic values in the obsequious search for the almighty advertising dollar wasn’t enough, CMT has decided to double down on their already embarrassing, tasteless, and crime-riddled reality show franchise Party Down South, and launch Party Down South 2 according to a recent announcement by their willing accomplices in corporate media, Entertainment Weekly.
No, this is not just a new season of the disgusting, worm-riddled filth of a television show, this is an entirely new franchise, and an entirely new cast that will transpire parallel to the current show. Party Down South 2 taped in Biloxi, Mississippi will start airing in November, while the original Party Down South will air its 3rd season in February. Think of it like adding Chlamydia to your herpes outbreak. And to sprinkle a little Gonorrhea in the mix, CMT will also be airing both “Drunksgiving” and “Christmas Hangover” Party Down South specials, providing plenty of family entertainment for your holiday festivities.
Brought to you by the same assholes who created Jersey Shore, the Party Down South series shoves eight idiots in a house, supplies them with enough booze to kill a horse, sets the cameras rolling, and proffers it all to the public as an accurate representation of Southern living. This formula works so well, one of their cast members Taylor “Lil Bit” Wright quit after last season, saying that she “feared for her safety.” The news came down right after another cast member, Ryan “Daddy” Richards, was accused of rape by a woman who says she entered the Party Down South house, was handed an open beer, and woke up later naked in a bed with a camera in her face. The woman went to the hospital the next day, and according to medical professionals, showed signs of sexual assault. An investigation by local police that included interviewing cast and crew and reviewing footage, did not result in any charges being filed.
Other Party Down South cast members have found themselves amidst controversy and legal trouble since the beginning of the show. Louisiana native Lyle Boudreaux was arrested in Maurice, LA for burglary of a vehicle at a Mardi Gras parade after he found an unlocked car, rifled through a woman’s purse, and stole a credit card to fund the night’s drinking. Mattie Breaux of Louisiana was also served a bench warrant after she failed to appear in court for a previous arrest for driving while intoxicated. Breaux was taping Season 2 of the reality show at the time of the hearing.
Party Down South has come under heavy scrutiny for its portrayal of Southerners in the show. Season 2 was initially scheduled to be taped in Pensacola, FL, but had to move to Athens, GA when local residents and businesses did not want the show blemishing the city’s reputation. Party Down South producers also had trouble securing a location in Biloxi, and were turned down for a location in nearby D’Iberville before finally finding an appropriate house. Ben “Cooter” Jones of The Dukes of Hazzard fame has also been a vocal opponent of the show.

I feel like this show is an accurate representation of Florida Georgia Line’s target audience.

Nailed it.

This is corporate culture by definition. That’s why this show is airing on CMT. They tell you what to listen to, what to watch, what beer to drink, and what truck to buy, and it’s all interconnected through media. “Party Down South” is the television version of Florida Georgia Line.

I will be SO happy and tingly if and when FGL do a guest spot on PDS2!!!! Like an Omicronian, watching and stroking my horns, wondering why Lyle does not simply eat them.
October 24, 2014 @ 12:55 pm
Great shot, kid….That was one in a million!!!
October 23, 2014 @ 7:50 pm
Wow.

If the Christians are right, our society is just begging Jesus to come back…
October 23, 2014 @ 8:16 pm
Probably isn’t happening
October 23, 2014 @ 10:38 pm
The same people who created Jersey Shore created this half baked horseshit?
Inflicting Jersey Shore on us was bad enough. Maybe Florida Georgia Line will want this batch of retards in their “Sun Daze” video. They all have something in common: lack of common sense, intelligence and brain cells.
This show gives us Southerners a bad name and perpetuates the stereotype that we’re stupid country hicks & we’re better than this damn show.
October 23, 2014 @ 11:11 pm
They wouldn’t be producing these shows if there wasn’t a market willing to pay for it They wouldn’t be producing bad music if there wasn’t a market willing to to pay for it
Hmmmm…….must be a market willing to pay for it .
And THAT is the sad part because its that market that is to blame .
At the risk of someone interpreting that observation as a political one , I really do believe that if we did a better job of educating people and making healthier and socially constructive options more available and more affordable we would see a dramatic change in our culture’s current mores . In an ‘ANYTHING GOES’ society ( no reference intended but if the shoe fits ) driven by the dollar, anything WILL go including degradation , physical/sexual/emotional abuse , bullying , substance abuse and its celebration and more if its shown to generate income .

Hold your heads high fellow Southerners. Just because this trash is on television, it will in no way affect my own self respect or make me ashamed to be a proud man from South Carolina. The best way to show the rest of the country that everyone from the South is not like the delinquents on CMT is to live in a way that shows your morals and values. Love your God, Love your Country, and Love your Family and pray for those who have lost their way. In my humble opinion those three things make for a very rewarding life.

Well, now that Honey Boo Boo’s future is up in the air, we need something to fill the trash tv quota.
I honestly never thought that one day I’d pine for the civility and quaint nature of Jerry Springer. Seems pretty damn tame compared to this garbage.
October 24, 2014 @ 12:57 pm
I could see if this show was successful and there was an audience that could warrant a second show. But the producers at CMT just do not seem to realize no one wants to watch this show….yet they seem hell bent on shoving it down our throats until we do.
I mean, what is next? Having goon squads hired by the networks break in to our houses and force us to watch it at gunpoint??
October 24, 2014 @ 4:19 pm
It truly amazes me what people will watch. I’ve never seen Jersey Shore, the Boo-Boo family, etc., and only saw one episode of Party Down South when I happened to be visiting someone who had it on. There really are no adjectives that truly capture how horrible this is (at least not ones I’d use in polite company). As a Southerner, I can honestly say that we already have all of the negative stereotypes we need – thank you very much. Drunksgiving? Good grief. The dumbing down of America (yesterday I heard a story about a Texas jury asking the judge how many votes were needed for a unanimous vote – not the kind of people I’d want deciding my fate).
October 24, 2014 @ 4:26 pm
i know someone at CMT and they said it came down to either this or a show about 8 strangers in they’re mid thirties living together in the bad lands of South Dakota all working tourist jobs at Wall Drug. they both sound fantastic to me…
October 24, 2014 @ 6:18 pm
Having never owned a television, every time I see a story like this, all I can think is, “Why the hell do TVs exist!?!?!”
Television was on 24/7 when I was growing up. There was nothing good on then (70s/80s) and it only sounds like it’s gotten worse. Yet people pay hundreds of dollars a month to watch this shit. I don’t get it.
October 25, 2014 @ 7:04 am
Just saw this morning in my local paper (from South Mississippi) that Party Down South 2 will be filming in Biloxi. And the city leaders are apparently excited about it. I just hope those idiots stay on that side of the county and don’t come my way.
October 25, 2014 @ 2:28 pm
I have never met a single person who has even seen this show.. and a vast majority have never even heard of it. How is there a second season?
October 25, 2014 @ 3:29 pm
It has been CMT’s most successful show by far. That’s is why they’re doubling down on it.
October 25, 2014 @ 4:16 pm
Interesting.. perhaps I just don’t know enough people that watch CMT, because I know plenty that enjoy bad TV in general.
October 27, 2014 @ 5:31 pm
Let me pull the punches on this….
Before the first steaming pile of dogshit called Party Down South even aired, they started running the teaser commercials during episodes of “The Dukes of Hazzard”,
which is surely the most successful “family show” in the history of television. I was on that show (“Cooter”) and the franchise is still going strong. At least it was until the geniuses at CMT started running those Party Down South in-your-face commercials featuring some of the slimiest louts ever to grace the idiot box. We complained. Thousands of people complained. CMT could have cared less. Dukes fans bailed out of CMT in droves and won’t be back.
Trigger nailed it when he said that Party Down South is the Florida Georgia Line of television. It is not only sewage, it is the lowest common denominator of offensive sleaze, and it is being produced by slime balls from New Jersey as a reflection of Southern life.
Quite simply, these executives are people without heart, without morals, and without
soul. That is apparently the corporate creed at Viacom.
If you don’t think some people won’t do anything for money, watch a few minutes of this show. It doesn’t bode well for the future of the human race….
October 27, 2014 @ 6:42 pm
and it is being produced by slime balls from New Jersey as a reflection of Southern life.
Not New Jersey, Ben. She’s from Long Island. Just looked it up. And there is a difference. For example, it’s not uncommon for people from NYC and Long Island to look down on New Jersey. So it make sense that she would start on this path just outside of her backyard (but not IN her backyard) with Jersey Shore and then use the same formula with Party Down South.
Great song about being from New Jersey:

Ben,
I have a lot of respect for you sticking up for southern heritage and culture. From oppsoing the take down of the battle flag in South Carolina too this party down south garbage. I just want to issue a personal thanks.. I’ve been a Dukes of Hazzard fan for many years and I enjoy your stores in Nashville and Gatlinburg.
I am one of those who opposed and fled from watching CMT. Protecting southern heritage and culutre is important to me, as it is my heritage (9th Tennesse Infantry). Keep up the fight Ben!
October 27, 2014 @ 7:02 pm
That’s right, Jack. Now I remember how p.o.’ed all the people from Jersey were
about her take on the Garden State. So they are slimeballs from Long Island.
Outside of the NYC suburbs, New Jersey is a pretty cool deal. I worked on the railroad
there back in the 60’s, on the B&O RR. There was a lot of farm land then.
Years later, I did a show in Ocean County and they were still kinda country there. And very nice folks.
I also dug John’s song. Thanks.

I live not far from Biloxi, (across the line in Alabama, near Mobile.) I spend a lot of time there, in Pascagoula, Gautier, Gulfport, D’Iberville for work. The reason dreck like this is produced is for the benefit of Yankee posers from places like Pennsylvania who fly rebel flags and listen to Bro-country and think they know what it’s all about. My niece in Michigan, from what I can see via her Facebook posts, has recently begun to brand herself as a “country girl”, because her boyfriend taught her to shoot and she listens to Brantley Gilbert. She lives in an upscale suburb of Detroit.
So, I believe that is really the target audience, here. Northerners will never understand the complexities and the beautiful undercurrents of true Southern culture if this crap is what they are force-fed continually. I won’t be watching.
