The Catalina reality show debuts on CW May 29

It’s happening. Billed as the next Jersey Shore, “The Catalina” is the latest reality show to hit TV screens nationwide, and network execs are hoping it’ll be one of the steamiest series in their history. Let’s hope it’s not Miami Social all over again. A description: “Set against the sun-soaked sands of Miami Beach, the show follows the young, testosterone-charged staff of The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club, located in the epicenter of South Beach. The sizzling summer series is the first ever reality show set in a South Beach hotel and features ten of its fun-loving staff members, representing the melting pot of cultural and ethnic diversity that only Miami Beach can offer.” On Tuesday night, the cast of The Catalina made their first ever ‘post-production’ public appearance at the Collins Avenue hotel. We’ll hear about the lives of the GM and head bartender down to the front desk and pool girl. Will you tune in?
