New Reality Show Seeks To Discover America's Top Brick Mason
Fox Networks announced Monday plans to bolster its Fall television lineup with a bold new reality show from the producers of award winning reality hits "Trailer Park Island" and "Small Pox Bachelor". The new show, which was filmed in New Jersey, follows the lives of 12 brick layers as they compete for the honor of 'America's Top Brick Mason'. The winning mason will be awarded a one year contract with Home Depot as well as a new Ford F-350 pickup truck. Complicating matters, contestants fall under the supervision of boxing legend Mike Tyson. Although he is not widely known as a brick masonry expert, Tyson is well versed in the art of demeaning and degrading others. Fox is gambling that a combination of heart stopping brick masonry and Tyson's explosive temper will result in a ratings bonanza.
Also standing between contestants and the top prizes are a series of brutal challenges designed to test both their will and wits. Contestants are forced to lay brick in some of the most demanding environments, including a burning building and central Baghdad. Producers claim that three participants quit in a harrowing masonry challenge in which they were forced to build a brick wall mere inches away from a nest of Africanized killer bees. The show's season finale is also rumored to involve two tons of brick and an active volcano.
