This is supposed to start airing in November according to the TBS website. They have contestants that are based on the TV show.

"We've scoured the globe to find the perfect group of contestants: a real-life skipper, a quirky first mate, a millionaire couple, a gorgeous movie star, a brilliant professor and an innocent farm girl. If you thought the original cast was wacky, wait until you see what happens when we put these very different people together for real!"


It was a cheesy show, but I loved it when I was a kid. I wonder who the "gorgeous movie star" is.

'GILLIGAN' REALITY SETS SAIL
By DON KAPLAN
August 25, 2004 --

THE reality version of "Gilligan's Island" is under way.

The show's producers have converged on an undisclosed, tropical location to begin pre-production on the reality show based on the popular sitcom about seven castaways stranded on a deserted island.

"The cast is good and the location's good, and I think the game is going to be fun to watch," executive producer Mike Fleiss ("The Bachelor") told The Post from the set.

The new show will feature a group of people cast to personify the original cast (Gilligan, the Skipper, the millionaire) who work to get off the island.

The show is slated to debut on TBS in November.

I have finally seen the ads for this show. It looks like it is geared towards actor/actress wannabees.

The gimmick of being shipwrecked on an island is GREAT! Sounds like a combination of BigBrother and Survivor LOL

I LOVED Gilligan's Island when I was a kid but let's be honest! In real life Gilligan would have been ostracized by the other castaways....everything he did would go wrong LOL

I am looking forward to seeing this show!!

scratch that.....apparently there are TWO Gingers (the other one is actress Nicole Eggert), as well as two Gilligans, etc....the twist is, both the Gilligans, Mary Anns, etc, will compete against each other in a contest...loser goes home, winner goes on to be the "official" castaway, then the game will change. This explains why they don't reveal any of the actual castaways faces in the print ads.

'Gilligan's Island' Viewers to See Double

Nov 16, 7:44 PM (ET)

By DERRIK J. LANG

NEW YORK (AP) - Who knew two SS Minnows were shipwrecked on a deserted island in a terrible storm? Yes, viewers tuning into TBS'"The Real Gilligan's Island," which premieres Nov. 30, will see double. The reality show take on the classic stranded-on-an-uncharted-island sitcom features two Gingers, Mary Anns, Gilligans, Skippers and so forth.

The teams go head-to-head in challenges inspired by plots from the '60s show, executive producer Mike Fleiss told The Associated Press. The castaway counterpart who loses is sent packing.

"It's Ginger versus Ginger, Mary Ann versus Mary Ann, Professor versus Professor and so on until we have our final seven," Fleiss said. "Then the game changes."

The twist wasn't revealed until the castaways were on the island, in a secret location in the Gulf of Mexico. The casts lived separately in villages that were reminiscent of the CBS show, which aired from 1964-67.

In the original "Gilligan's Island," the small charter boat Minnow had been on a three-hour sightseeing tour when it was caught in a storm and wrecked on the shore of an uncharted South Pacific island.

"It looks just like the original set," Nicole Eggert, 32, one of the movie-star Gingers, told the AP Tuesday. "We had bamboo huts that were right on this beautiful beach. It probably looks more glamorous than it really was. Just like in the show, I shared one with Mary Ann."

Eggert's teammates are Mark "Gooner" Groesbeck, 31 (Gilligan); Amanda Dodson, 21 (Mary Ann); Eric Anderson, 36 (the Professor); Bill Beaven, 47 (the Millionaire); Donna Beaven, 45 (the Millionaire's wife); and Jim Murray, 55 (the Skipper).

The other Ginger is model-actress Rachel Hunter. Her teammates are Chris O'Malley, 20 (Gilligan); Kate Koth, 21 (Mary Ann); Pat Abbott, 64 (the Professor); Glenn Stearns, 40 (the Millionaire); Mindy Stearns, 35 (the Millionaire's wife); and Bob Fahey, 52, (the Skipper).

Eggert ("Baywatch" and "Charles in Charge") wasn't playing Ginger, originally portrayed by Tina Louise. She was being herself - albeit living on a beach in a glittery gown.

"I had to wear the gown almost the whole time," Eggert said. "It was very distracting and hot as hell."

Self-admitted klutz Groesbeck was star-struck when both Gingers were revealed.

"When I met her for the first time, I was like, 'Wow, that's Nicole Eggert,'" said Groesbeck, who's a big "Charles in Charge" fan.

"And then when we saw the second team, I was like, 'Ah, that's Rachel Hunter.'"

So in this surreal "Gilligan's Island" world, who would you want to date? Movie-star Ginger or sweet country girl Mary Ann?

"That's a difficult question," O'Malley said. "Ginger's just beautiful. She's absolutely gorgeous. But Mary Ann. She's younger. I had a bit more of an attraction to her."

Does this mean an uncharacteristic fling between Gilligan and Mary Ann?

"Yeah, there's a little bit of romance," O'Malley hinted. "You'll have to watch the show to see."

Fleiss spilled a bit more.

"After 40 years of sexual frustration of Gilligan never even coming up to bat," he revealed, "the drought is over."

Sex on "Gilligan's Island"? How very modern.

TWO teams.......I am almost afraid to watch this show.

To ruin ANOTHER fond childhood memory would be detrimental to me....first Jim Carrey Butchers the Grinch, then Mike Meyers bastardizes Cat and the HAT...now Gilligan's Island.....woe is me.

When Carmen heard "no LIGHTS, no motor cars, NOT a single luxury" she probably bailed ROTFL!!!!

Also, lets face it...Carmen would have been a little too XRATED for this show.

I wonder if there will be animosity between Eggert/Hunter. In the clip, you see Rachel Hunter looking at Eggert going "You've GOT to be kidding me" and I wonder if she was talking about just who she was paired against, or just the situation itself.

I saw her on Craig Kilborne(well, whoever is hosting for the night), and she was saying it was crazy out there, and that one guy on the show was an absolute "@sshole" to actually quote her. She never mentioned the lady they are saying is the wicked witch. She also said it was one big "mindf_ck".

My interest level is rising. I don't work Tuesday, AND I have an essay due, which means I'll DEFINITELY be watching this show. haha.

HEADS UP! This series debuts TONIGHT!

AND....according to the programming guide accessed via my cable box, tonight's debut is TWO HOURS. Looks like the first episode is about picking the cast and the second has them already whining about the bugs and stuff....so set your vcrs because the second hour airs opposite "The Amazing Race".

In SF, CA it airs from 8-10pm on TBS.

From Eonline:

It's rumored that Nicole Eggert's onetime boyfriend cheated on her with Rachel Hunter. Neither "movie star" knew her character would have a counterpart, let alone that her counterpart would be a real-life nemesis. On-set sources say the ladies were not happy to see each other. TBS has not decided if any of this real-life drama will make it to air.

One of the people on this show, Mindy Brabano-Stern, is a former entertainment reporter for KTLA Channel 5 in LA. She married a rich rich rich man after she got the job on KTLA. In fact, she got the job on KTLA because she'd been on Oprah making animal sounds and she got television exposure that eventually led her here. Then she went back on Oprah to talk about how Oprah had changed her life, etc. In fact, her new life was so nice that not only did she have a 7 caret engagement ring, but after she got married she hated to drive from their beach front house in Newport Beach, so her husband got her a driver to take her to the studio and to events she had to cover.

Now I'm making it sound hokey, but she's really a lot of fun, even if her "character" won't let her be on the show. One of the African American reporters on the show, Gayle Anderson, said to her one day, "Mindy, you're the loudest white woman I've ever met!" It was very funny and truthful. She doesn't keep her yap closed. Maybe that's how she managed to land a rich rich rich husband (who isn't Trump's age).

Thank goodness they're replaying at 11. The 9-10 portion conflicts with my DVRing of The Amazing Race and Veronica Mars. Looks like the second episode is tomorrow at 8 EST, then again at 11. I think I read that the regular time slot will be at 8 on Wednesdays and there are only 8 episodes. So far tonight, it looks promising. The "wicked witch" has made herself pretty obvious in the first hour.

Wow, I really liked this show. I am really pulling for the yellow team, although I can't see much difference between the two Mary Anns, so either one of them can stay and I'll be satisfied.

I am assuming the millionaire couple will be eliminated as a pair when their time comes--did they say anything about that?

I wondered about that too, Cathie. Now that I think of it, they probably will be eliminated as a couple since they're just called the "millionaires." That women Donna is unreal! At first I thought her husband didn't seem too bad and then at the end I could see how their personalities were similar! I really liked the yellow team overall better than the green team. I felt bad they lost their skipper right off the bat. I guess that means the other guy gets his spot without having to work for it. I wonder if they'll have to do more competitions once they get down to one team to win the "prize." I don't remember them saying "what" the price is!

Thanks for mentioning that TBS replays things. I forgot! It seems my VCR is full though! Grrrrrr! I could add a couple of more shows if I had the room. lol (Why do the things I like have to be on at the same time!! )

Go Gold! Although you gotta love the goofy Gilligan. Did you notice that the Gold millionaires are "worth 500 million" while the Greens are "worth less than 3 million?" This is going to be fun!
