And the Next SURVIVAL Winner is...

Six married men 
will be dropped on an island each with one car
and 3 kids (one under age six). 
All three children use some form of car seat.

Each kid will play two sports 
and either take music or theatre classes.

Each man must:
correct all homework, 
complete science/art projects, 
cut finger nails,
cook balanced meals, keep up with the laundry,
routinely review health and safety
guidelines, watch out for perverts, 
recycle, and pay a list of bills with not enough money. 

There is no fast food. 

Each man will be ranked on making his house
a reasonably clean, fun and safe place. 

Each man must also take all three children to
a doctor's appointment,
a dental check-up,
a haircut appointment and
one run to the emergency room. 

He must keep track of immunization records,
passport expiration dates, school application deadlines,
and exam dates for each child.

He must also attend two birthday parties and
organize one himself (including written invitations to at least ten friends,
party decorations, gifts, foods, games, prizes and self-made thank-you notes
as well as a slide show to share with the in-laws). 

He will have to plan, organize, and go on one weekend trip
with all three children.

Each child is allowed one sleep-over and
two play dates at the house per week.

Weekly shopping trips with all three will have to show his competence in
dealing with tantrums, sudden cravings and small injuries.

The men must attend weekly school meetings.

He must participate in two school fundraisers and
organize costumes for at least one school performance. 

At least one afternoon a week must be spent at the park,
the zoo, or a museum.

A fifteen minute night time routine with each child will test their ability to
read, sing and be ready to discuss God, death, and sex when prompted.

Every morning he must feed the children, pack a lunch/snack, make sure
they are dress appropriately, remind them to brush their teeth and comb their hair
and have them at the school gate by 8 am. 

The men must 
shave daily (including legs and armpits), 
wear presentable clean clothes and
appropriate footwear.
They must work out at least three times a week to keep in shape.

At least twice during this time, 
severe abdominal cramps and back aches will be induced.
During this episode he must never complain or 
slow down from other duties. 

As a special challenge, he will be asked to set up an internet business
of his choice that promotes women entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The men will only have access to television/internet/reading materials
after the kids are asleep and all chores are done. 

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each of them
will be required to know all of the following information: 

Each child's current height, weight, shoe and clothes size, 
doctor's name, food allergies as well as 
each child's favorite color, best friend, saddest memory, 
favorite snack, song, toy and book, their 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 is invited to play the game over
and over again and eventually earn the title  
Mom (sorry no cash prizes)!

Oh Anna, the show would surely bring in viewers, but who on Earth would sign up?
