Ginger or Mary Ann?

Poll to follow.

As with my Betty/Veronica poll, you can apply whatever criteria you wish. You don’t have to assume that you’re on the island, or that you’re a character from the show. For example, you could imagine that they were rescued and have settled in your neighborhood.

Why you’re choosing, or what you’re choosing them for, is up to you. It could be that you’re picking a romantic partner—but maybe you just want a friend. Maybe you dream of an idyllic life on a farm with Mary Ann. Or perhaps you want Ginger to give your screenplay to a director. It doesn’t matter! Stop asking questions and pick one!

If you don’t know who Ginger and Mary Ann are, do as a former POTUS suggested and use the Google.

Mary Ann makes pies. She can be my new BFF.

I grew up watching Gilligan’s Island, but I can’t say either one of them were sexually appealing.

Mary Ann all the way. And I see completely through that slut’s girl-next-door shtick.

I’m not really into “types,” but I had to go for Mary Ann, just because the way Ginger was portrayed, she wasn’t really appealing to me.

You left out Mrs. Howell!

Mary Ann. She’s the girl next door. Looks good in a pair of shorts. Makes pies.

I voted Ginger, but only because I forgot what their names were. It’s been a long time. Anyway, I intended to vote for Mary Ann.

I’m a Ginger man from all the way back. My sexual aesthetic is almost wholly informed by Ginger. And the odd 70s Penthouse magazine. What a woman.

Seriously though, Tina Louise was a total knockout, specially in her pinup/Broadway days. Yow.

Both beautiful, but there’s never been any answer for me but Mary Ann.

But she only knows how to make coconut cream pies. :smiley:

There’s no accounting for taste, but I just can’t see preferring the Ginger portrayed on G.I. over the Maryann portrayed there. That whole Hollywood starlet, high maintenance look is just a turn-off to me.

I voted Mary Ann but then I went and looked at some old Tina Louise pics. You’re not wrong.

However, the poll is Ginger vs Mary Ann and not (any era) Dawn Wells vs Tina Louise so I stand by my choice as I liked Mary Ann better and thought she was cuter on the show. Between the two actresses at their ‘prime’, it would be a much harder choice and I may flip.

Ginger. Never been a question for me. I mean, I’m not gonna kick either out of bed these days for eating crackers (I mean, were I single), but I’ve always been a Ginger fan from my on-the-cusp-of-pubescence-days, so no matter how much Mary Ann has been the favorite for the past few decades, I’m a Ginger man through-and-through.

Mary Ann, more approachable and lower maintenance.

Mary Ann. Besides being prettier (to my tastes, ymmv), she was also an absolute freak in bed. And was just plain more pleasant to be around when not engaged in being my lust receptacle, 'cause it’s not always about just the sex, you see.
What?

Mmm. Lovey, you vixen you.

What happens on Gilligan’s Island, stays on Gilligan’s Island.

Mary Ann. I always did better with farm girls than city sluts.

Only because of the ingredients on hand. It a proper kitchen I bet she could whip up any kind. Wait…wasn’t there banana cream pies available on the island, too?

Mary Ann all the way. Ginger was a bimbo.*

*Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
