THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes .
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids ; keep his assigned house clean , correct all homework , and complete science projects , cook , do laundry , and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment , a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment .
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house , planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done .
The men must shave their legs , wear makeup daily , adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes , keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed .
During one of the six weeks , the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings , and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if... he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called Mother!
Now before anyone jumps in with comments...
I will say, that I've heard that there are some men that do quite alot to help in the house, or are even doing it all themselves...
It's just that I don't have any experience with that. They are rare and the ones that still exist must be well protected and hidden away.
I just thought this would be a VERY funny idea for a show, and PLENTY of women would clear their schedules to watch. LOL

Yep, you got that right, 'cause if they were anything like me raising a daughter into her teens and beyond, they sure ain't got the energy to go out and party a lot :P
Smorgas - you have boys/girls or both?

My wife recently left for 9 days to visit her father without a care in the world.
I can do it and often I do it better. The funny thing is if I decide to do it all she is certainly willing to let me. I wonder if that is the issue with some of the men. I don't care for that feeling any more than a woman would.
As a matter of fact I am at one of those points now. Seriously wonder what else I am here for.

I only wish they had offered me prize money for pulling it off.
