This One's for the Women

If there's one TV reality series most people know about it's Survivor. If we haven't seen the show, we've seen the promos showing tribal councils voting people off the island. The program is all about competition and craftiness.

Maybe you've heard about the maybe next Survivor series. Hold on to your seats men! Twelve men will be dropped into and unidentified suburb in a van with six kids. Each child plays two sports and takes music or dance lessons. There is no fast food! Men must keep the house clean, assist with homework (no grade below a C+ is acceptable) complete one science project, cook and do the laundry. They may watch TV only after the kids are asleep and the chores done.

The competitions include: PTA meeting: cleaning up after a sick child at 3:00 am; make an Indian tepee with five toothpicks, a tortilla and a magic marker; get a four year old to eat peas; and take college extension classes via television videos and prepare for a final exam.---the men are allowed one night out every two weeks, a sitter must be engaged ten days in advance. The kids get to vote dad's off at tribal council meetings. The winner gets to go back to his regular job.

I told you it was scary!

This survival reality show is the brainchild of Father Don Wilson of Sedalia, Mo. So far none of the male executives in program development at any of the major networks or studios are interested in this concept.

It probably won't be on the air because this one is two much like the real life experience of millions of women and only a fantasy/nightmare for married men. I don't think there will be enough men to sign up for the program to cast the first show.

Just One's Mans Opinion! What Do You Think?

I couldn't help but chuckle with that one because I've already swum that river. Besides, it's up to the men of the present to realize how difficult the task really is for the women of the present.

John - I just suggested that we send a man who has raised four beautiful daughters, and probably knows how to build a teepee with toothpicks, too. ;>)) (with affection and profound respect for a man who obviously knows how to swim the estrogen river with grace...)

NanaDot, I was doing some editing and lost your post. Sorry, I'm still trying to figure all this out.
