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, 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
remember the birthdays of all their friends and
relatives, and send cards out on time.
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 (weekend, evening,
on a holiday or right when they're about to leave
for vacation). 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. There is only one TV
between them, and a remote with dead batteries.
Each father will be required to know all of the
words to every stupid song that comes on TV and
the name of each and every character on cartoons.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily,
which they will apply to themselves either while
driving or making three lunches. Each man will
have to make an Indian hut model with six
toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a
4 year old to eat a serving of peas. Each man must
adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet
stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and
eyebrows groomed. The men must try to get
through each day without snot, spit-up or
barf on their clothing. 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 try to explain what a tampon is for
when the 6-yr old boy finds it in the purse.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church,
and find time at least once to spend the afternoon
at the park or a similar setting. He will need to
read a book and then pray with the children each
night without falling asleep, and then feed them,
dress them, brush their teeth and comb
their hair each morning by 7:00.
They must leave the home with no food
on their face or clothes. 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'sbirthday, 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. They must clean up after their
sick children at 2:00 a.m. and then spend the
remainder of the day tending to that child
and waiting on them- hand and foot- until
they are better. They must have a loving,
age appropriate reply to, "You're not the
boss of me". 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!
