GRAND PRAIRIE ? Junior High teacher Lauri Rule says she?ll outwit them with her intellect. Retired Army Maj. Jim Meiseman will outplay them with his military survival training. And self-proclaimed gym nut Chris Bowman will outlast them with his endurance and strength. The three hopefuls were among hundreds to show up for the Survivor casting call this morning at Bankston Dodge of Grand Prairie for a shot at competing in Survivor 13: Top Secret Location and winning the $1 million grand prize. By 11:30 a.m., more than 100 people had arrived with photos and applications in hand. Each hopeful had a plan on how they?d capture the top prize. Bowman, Meiseman and Rule all agreed that the conditions necessary to beat the competition ? sleeping on the ground, eating bugs, and wearing the same clothes for more than a month, to name a few ? is worth the experience. And the proverbial 15 minutes of fame. They each had two minutes to prove their worthiness while CBS 11 staffers recorded their ambitions to share with Survivor producers, who will make the first cut and notify about 48 semi-finalists in mid-March. Filming is scheduled between late June and early August. ?I - more available
