[GSBN] You (or some Natural Builder you know) Could be a TV Star!

[Bob Theis]

….Okay, so here's the pilot: the architect shows up on the job site of his straw bale high rise in Hong Kong, which is being built on a barge. A typhoon sweeps in, the barge breaks loose, and after a week at sea, it runs aground on the shores of Borneo. So the architect has to survive by his wits AND complete the high rise using vines and bark and animal skins….

Okay, sure, it's got a few rough edges. But there's nothing like it out there, am I right?

The dream is a male talent in their 30's, 40's or early 50's. A Les Stroud architect of sorts... Being an expert in this world, I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction on this. Is there anyone who comes to mind for this, or that you could recommend?
