I figure Mary Ann is securely enough ahead of Ginger that she doesnā€™t have to worry about being overtaken. So I voted for Opal. I find her to be a quite presentable young lady. ---

I thought Mary Ann just had a prettier face. They both had nice bodies but Tina Louise just wasnā€™t as beautiful as Mary Ann, to me. ---

Maryann by far. Ginger may do you, but it would be because she wanted something. Mercenary bitch. Maryann would do you because she likes you, is horny, and wants to get kinky with some bananas. ---

Being sailors and all, I always assumed Gilligan was the Captainā€™s ā€œLittle Buddy.ā€ Leaving the Professor to take care of the needs of _both_ Ginger and Maryann.

A million times Ginger. I never got the appeal of Maryann; she seemed a bit simple to me, like she was kicked in the head by a mule or something. Meanwhile, Ginger oozed sex. Sure, it was a bit over-the-top, but she gets props for keeping the torpedo-boobed sparkle top clean for five years on a beach. ---

Can I have both please? I suppose if I had to spend five years on a desert island it would be Maryann. Ginger would be too high maintainece for such a long time. A weekend - definitely Ginger. Iā€™m pretty sure it would take at least three dates to get into Maryannā€™s pants, and by then the party would be over. Ginger on the other hand, Iā€™m pretty sure weā€™d be well aquainted before we even got to the island. Like on the boat ride there. Or under the boardwalk while waiting for the ship to set sail. ---

> [@Erdosain](#): > > A million times Ginger. I never got the appeal of Maryann; she seemed a bit simple to me, like she was kicked in the head by a mule or something. Sex with Ginger would seem artificial. As someone upthread said, she has an angle. Sheā€™s only having sex with you because she wants something. Itā€™s just physical. Thatā€™s a real hard-off. OTOH, Mary Ann will ā€˜make loveā€™ with you, as sheā€™d be there because she wants to be. > [@3\_20\_59\_or\_bust](#): > > Check out this [bikini shot of them THEN](http://blogs.dixcdn.com/leftofcybercenter/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/mary-ann-ginger.jpg). OK, letā€™s assume that Ginger is misunderstood and lonely. Guys always think she has an angle, and that makes her feel like a whore. All she really wants is a guy she can trust, and who will trust her; someone to be in love with. Going by the photo, Iā€™d still take Mary Ann. I just find her more attractive. ---
