You're not really into roughing it, so "Survivor" is out. You're way too young to join the steamy antics on "Temptation Island". Yet your one true dream is to appear on a reality television show. What do you do?

Enter TVO's Swap-TV, a new show that's searching for about 30 kids between the ages of 10-14 to star in the 13-episode series.

Each episode will find two participants swapping homes and giving each other challenges to accomplish over a weekend.

Tatyana Terzopoulos -- who created the series with a few friends as part of her Bachelor of Applied Arts degree from Ryerson -- says they're searching for kids from backgrounds "as diverse as you can possibly imagine", including someone who works in a family-run hotel or restaurant, a musician, a beauty pageant contestant/model, and someone who lives in a native reserve community.

But don't stress, viewer/hopeful participant. Although the show has the potential to become preachy and overly educational (funky pop-up facts about swap locations, the temptation to focus on serious aspects of different lifestyles), Tatyana says she wants to "keep it a little more fun", and that Swap-TV will have a game-show feel as the participants challenge one another to complete tasks.

A pilot episode has already been shot and aired. It focused on Dane Wagner, a (then) 13-year-old Toronto resident who was into skateboarding and seafood, and Andrew Spoelstra, a (then) 13-year-old living on a family-run dairy farm in Binbrook, Ontario.

"It was a great experience," Andrew says. "If someone else had the opportunity to do it, I'd tell them to go for it."

During the pilot, Andrew was challenged to eat sushi for the first time, a task he wasn't able to complete. ("It was kinda gross and it smelled really bad"). He also had to participate in one of Dane's dance classes and learn a new dance, a challenge he was able to meet. ("It didn't look that great but ... I did it").

Meanwhile, Dane had to milk a cow by hand and lead a calf to its hutch by enticing it with a bottle. Dane thought it would be as easy as walking a dog, but he never did manage to get the calf to the right spot.

Andrew, whose favourite part of the swap was a trip to Playdium (a large arcade in Toronto), says one of the things that was most interesting to him, and very different from his life on a farm, was a world without siblings. (Dane has none; Andrew has a brother and a sister).

"It was very quiet," he says, although he does say that one of the hardest things he had to adjust to during his swap was the noise and busy-ness of Toronto.

Andrew and Dane still keep in contact via e-mail, and the dairy-farm expert says he'd be interested in watching new Swap-TV participants be challenged and adjust to life in a very different situation from what they're used to.

Tatyana and her partners hope to shoot the series over the summer and air it during the fall. Interested? Then send a videotape of yourself that shows why your life is unique from other kids, and come up with a couple of challenges you'd want your swap partner to undertake.
