Survivor. I like the idea someone had of a seniors Survivor, although I’m not quite there yet. Let’s say an over 50 Survivor.
I heard one of the contestants on Naked and Afraid say that it should have been named Naked and Itchy.
They do have competitors who are in their 50’s and 60’s on Survivor. Rudy Boesch, a former Navy Seal, was 72 and 75 when he competed. He’s now 91.
Every time I watch an episode I think of trying out.
91? WOW! It seems like yesterday …
Amazing Race. I would do it with either my D or S. Both are young/fit athletes, and I am pretty good with maps/directions (so many teams fail bc they get lost/miss a turn) and can (and have) eaten/drunken about anything. Our family actually always talks about sending in a video audition.
I don’t like to share a room, so I’d be no good at most of them. I’d do Project Runway but I’d need my own room.
Do they have some kind of Princess reality show?
My friend did try out for Amazing Race as an over 50 person. She said it was a lot of fun just to try out.
I’d like to be a princess!
Yes, it’s currently being produced in the UK by The House of Windsor…!
BA-BUM-TSSH!
Suddenly Royal, as a minor character. (Saving you the google, this was a show about an average American man whose DNA testing revealed him to be related to the royal family of the Isle of Man. His very functional wife and child went with him to the island and were socially skilled and pleasant, (despite being unique and even quirky) and the show was cancelled for lack of Ugly Americans.)
Or that royalty are expected to write thank you notes…
Amazing Race is my favorite.
I would love to try Amazing Race but I would fail miserably. I’m not extremely competitive by nature. So if my partner expected me to start running full steam with a huge heavy backpack for a half mile to beat another team, I really wouldn’t care if I came in 4th instead of 3rd. . On second thought I have never even worn a heavy backpack so I’m not even going to make it through Day One:)
My H would have won any survivor show, hands down (well, except for the strategy and lying part). He could catch fish with his bare hands and was a natural shellfish collector and shelter builder. Maybe they would have kept him through the end just to get food for the tribe
I’d go on Wife Swap just to spend a week away from my horrible neighborhood that I hate so much. I would want to be the spouse to leave. They would probably swap me with a neatnik, stay-at-home homeschooling religious mother who cooks and shops and gardens.
The other show I would go on would be the Middle Class Full-time Working Mothers of Long Island…we’d all be too tired to engage in drama.
I would nominate my H for Hoarders.
I can’t even watch Survivor, let alone go on it.
Amazing Race! I could go with D or SIL. I would probably have the most fun with D, but I would have a better chance to win with SIL. He would eat the gross stuff.
@techmom99 - My H would be a good competitor for your H!
I love Survivor. The drama, the intrigue, the absolute knowledge that I would be the first person voted off the island. I watch every episode. The second the season is over and they name the winner I forget who everybody is. So when they bring back returning players I don’t know who they are.
Wife Swap - totally forgot about that gem!!!
