The Next ‘Survivor’

Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" show?

Mark Burnett, producer of "Survivor", plans to enlist 12 men who will be dropped in an unidentified suburb with a van, six kids (each of whom play two sports and take either a musical instrument or dance class) and no access to fast food.

They must keep the house clean, correct all homework (receiving at least a "C+" on all papers), complete one science project, cook (OK, they can bring one cookbook), do laundry, care for dog and cat, grocery shop, birthday present hunt for kids’ friends, etc.

Oh, and they also have access to television only when the kids are asleep and all chores are done, and none of the TV’s have remotes.

Plus they have to shave their legs and wear makeup which they must apply themselves either while driving or while making six lunches.

The competitions will consist of such things as attending a PTA meeting and accurately reporting the results; cleaning up after a sick child at 3:00 a.m; getting kids to church/religious education; making an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and getting a 4 -year-old to eat a serving of peas.

The kids vote them off.

The winner gets to go back to his job.
