Are you 'Survivor' material?

Admit it: You screamed at the television when Ian jumped off that pole during the final challenge in last month's Survivor: Palau finale. You never would have caved like that, you swore through a mouthful of Pringles.

Well, now you have a chance to prove it.

CBS will hold auditions for the next installment of Survivor from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.

If last summer's casino auditions for America's Next Top Model are any indication, the lines will build up in a hurry. Casino spokeswoman Mary Lynn Babetski said a line formed before midnight for a 10 a.m. Model roll call.

This time, Survivor officials will interview and videotape only the first 350 people in line. Participants must be at least 21, a U.S. citizen and in good physical and mental shape. Though judging from seasons past, Mark Burnett might be flexible on that last point. Applications are available for download at www.tampabays10.com

If Survivor isn't your thing, fear not: The casino will also host auditions for The Amazing Race on July 19. For more information on applying for that show, visit www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race_application/
