Dang. Dawn Wells looks better than most twenty-somethings that I know.
<<Shudder>>
I wouldn’t be caught dead watching that show (green team’s “lovey” is really something, isn’t she? does she ever shut up and stop bitching? ever?)
I mean, really, a reality show based on one of the dumbest sitcoms ever to grace the airwaves? did anyone else gag while they were eating all that disgusting stuff during the challange? eeeewwww
I can’t believe such an intelligent group would lower themselves to watch that kind of crap. (personally, I hope Rachel wins the Ginger spot. Nicole has got a bit of a 'tude, dontcha think?)
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Dawn Wells, the original MaryAnne has not been matched by these two posers. The two Gingers aren’t bad – Rachel is still built well, but Eggert is prettier.
However, the cast standout is Mindy Sterns – she looks like an older Charisma Carpenter, and that ain’t hay.

He he… that’s nothing! You should see what I get up to when I… wait, nevermind! :eek:
(FWIW, I haven’t seen any more episodes since the original. The wifey has had the remote control. 
)
Well I should say I watched the last three episodes of this show. It started one Tuesday when I was sick and prostrate on my couch. TBS’ wonderful Seinfeld reruns were becoming a distant memory but I was too lazy to turn the channel, and I noticed the Real Gilligan’s Island coming on. I said, “Well, let’s see how hot the women are.”
They were pretty attractive.
After that I ended up watching the final two episodes just to see who won.
For whatever reason I think the show really gave Glenn Stearns a huge advantage. Since it came down to just being a Survivor clone people who are naturally talented at manipulation or teamwork are going to win, and Stearns is a multimillionaire that has had his hand in 26 companies so he’s probably at a huge advantage over all the other castaways.
Furthermore amazingly this 40 year old man was in better shape than every male character on the show (and most of the females except in certain areas) except for Gilligan Chris but even that is arguable.
Also I think if you’re going to put an old professor and an old boat captain on the show the contests shouldn’t be entirely based on speed and athleticism, just don’t even put them in the contest if that is going to be the case.
Anyways I don’t think a single person on that show had any real need for the money other than Gilligan Chris.
Of the final castaways we have the two millionaires (set for life), the Skipper (owns his own company so he’s in fairly good shape I’d say), Rachel Hunter (famous actress/model), Mary Anne (been in Maxim), the Professor (old Ph.D’s typically have at least the money to retire in happiness on.)
Considering the prize was only $250,000 it really wouldn’t have changed anyone’s life. I mean you’re basically talking ~$150,000 after taxes.
Mary Anne is in College and has been in Maxim, the fact that she is in college shows she’s at least not destitute and her family situation is probably such that $150,000 won’t change her life, it would mean college costs would probably be wiped away and she’d have the money to get a home earlier (if she was smart enough to make such a decision.)
Gilligan Chris is sort of a mystery financially as his background was never explained that much. But the rest of the people on the show certainly would have lived their lives pretty much the same after that $250,000 prize. The prize for Survivor was like $1,000,000 correct?
Aveguy checked out an episode of this, so I watched it too. It was actually two episodes- the Mary Ann competition, and the disgusting food eating competition.
Green Lovey was so over the top in interview about the food competition I seriously though she must be joking. Sadly, she wasn’t. I still wonder, though, if her head exploded when she found out that those “disgraceful wanna-be millionares” on the Gold team had about 497 million more dollars than she did.
When Green Mary Ann lost her competition, she did this weird thing where she was standing there (talking to the camera, I think) and then her whole face would suddenly contort into a pissed off sneer. It would only last a moment, but it happened several times and it made her look kind of psychotic. Did anyone else catch that?
didn’t watch it, but clicked on the link, and then checked out her bio since i don’t know who she is. This trivia on her imdb.com bio probably says it all:
*After leaving her wholesome role on “Charles in Charge” (1984), she got saline breast implants for her role as lifeguard Summer Quinn on “Baywatch” (1989). However she had them reduced a year later because she thought they were too big.
Measurements: 32A-22-34 (starting on “Baywatch” (1989), 34C-24-34 (after saline implants 1993), 34B-23-34 (after implants reduced 1994) (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)*
