Ok, Its a guy who doesn't need the money. Wink, wink, nudge nudge. Mindy gave Maryann permission to vote for her, since she was so upset and Mindy knew that Gilligan would be going. That way it wasn't a tie. I loved that last challenge. The women looks exhausted!

that's bull ... Mindy gave MaryAnn permission to vote for her because she knew she wasn't going and that would guarantee Gilligan to go and not her husband. There was nothing generous about it. And Mary Ann was a fool and allowed herself to be bought. What was that she said about integrity? Mr.Sterns played them like a fiddle, he deserved to win after that. Mary Ann deserved NOTHING.

It sure made Mindy look like the "good person" didn't it! I think that both of the Stearns belong in the orchestra...they played everyone like FIRST chair violins. Scheming, scheming, scheming! Still a good series, however, I was annoyed at the constant repeating of footage and recaps after nearly EVERY commercial break. Can't these guys take a hint from Amazing Race?

Please spoil it for us, the show ended last night and I don't know who won. I am just hoping it wasn't Mary Ann after the way she stabbed Gilligan in the back. She didn't vote against him but she knew the Howels (millionaires)were both voting for Gilligan and that Gilligan was voting for the guy.

Jagger, Mr. Sterns (Howell) was rescued. Mrs. Sterns was not too far behind him, and Mary Ann was way behind them.

Sigh. What a disappointment. Sterns apparently offered both Gilligan Chris and Mary Ann Kate JOBS after the show was over. Chris wouldn't be bought, but Mary Ann was. She took the cheesy way out, after tellig Chris she wanted to play the game with integrity, which is why she had to vote out the Skipper (and not break her promises to the Stearns), she voted in a way that ensured Chris would be gone. Her explanation was that she promised she would never vote for Chris, so she voted for Mrs. Stearns to go. That meant Mr and Mrs voted Gilligan off, which Mary Ann knew would happen. But she also told Chris that she was with him to the "final two", so she did in fact break her promise. And while she was being loyal to the Stearns, there was Mr. Stearns in confessionals saying he was doing everything he could to break up Chris and Mary Ann. She was played, she finished third. Chris saw through it and ended up fourth. Big bummer!

Oh please, she stood to gain nothing if she kept Gilligan, he would have run away with it all!! She had a chance against The Howells! As far as the job goes, I can see it as cheesey, but I also feel its networking - take it beyond what we see! I say good for her!! They got the Sterns to participate because Mindy loves the TV (and I think the tv loves her too - she looked like she was having fun, she wasnt mean, or hurtful, imho!) yet, I hate that the final challenges are always so physical that most women just cant compete against men, I dont think its intentional, but the end result is the women dont stand much of a chance... and darn the alliance factors, because with a married couple, the rest of the group really didnt stand a chance, MaryANn was smart in joining the dual alliance... and lets not forget that Gilligan Chris jumped that alliance too....

She had NO chance against the Howells. My whole thing about her was her whining about playing with integrity. She did NOT. She told Gilligan that it was them to the final two and right before the voodoo thing that she was voting out Mr. Sterns. That is not integrity. If she had just said that she was playing the game for what was best for her, then that is a different story.

I agree Ladytex, she also didn't have a clue what the final task was going to be so she couldn't use that as an excuse, especially after she had just won the last challenge. My guess is she figured if she took them along they may do something for her after the show. As Gilligan Chris said his intergity couldn't be bought by a promise of a job when the show was over. I thought it very good game play on the howels to make offers like that, it kept them in the game.

Does anyone else find it funny that the Sterns acted the SAME way as the Howell characters on the original show? I'll give you a job when we get back, the way it works in my company...blah blah blah. All I can say is that I am glad this whole series from start to finish was only something like 3 weeks.

What she stood to gain was not to look like a fool for one minute claiming she voted out the Skipper because she wanted to retain her integrity and make it through the game without breaking a single promise. Then she votes for Mrs. Stearns claiming that somehow that doesn't violate her promise to Chris because she didn't "vote for" him? She voted against him. And certainly knew he wouldn't make it to the final three. When Chris dropped his alliance, he did it honestly. He told them he could no longer vote with them before the next vote. That had integrity. Lying up to the last minute does not. I have no problem with someone who admits they wll be sneaky in the game being sneaky. I have no respect for someone who claims to be so honest, and yet makes all kinds of excuses for their dishonesty. For all her claims of having integrity, she fell in with the scheming sneaky Mr. Stearns, and abandoned the guy who did have integrity, Go figure.

Well, I missed the first hour and a half last night because I set the VCR to 11-21 instead of 12-21. Owhatagooseiam! Luckilly, it will be repeated here tonight at 10:20pm. I have two VCRs set to tape it then, lol. I did watch the end of the show and was surprised that they condensed the final challenge and rescue into the last 10 minutes. I had wanted to see reactions to Mr. Stearns win from the evicted cast members, but it was a quick rescue and "poof" it's over. And, they have apparently already filmed Gilligan's Island II, which is set to air in January. Hope it's as short as this series was--I fit the whole "season" on one 8 hour tape, lol.

I just read in the Orange County Register, the local paper for the Stearns that he is donating all of his winnings and matching it to their charitable foundation so all in all, a good ending. They had a big viewing party last night at their 10 million dollar home and set it up with an island theme. Many of the evicted members were there but they did not name names. One of the Gilligans did say that they were really good people.

They live in Newport Coast, Pelican Hill area I am pretty sure is what the paper said. Makes sense for that kind of money!

SIGH I taped over the last hour of the show. Glad I didnt get to see the rich guy win. How vomitous!! with a networth of 500 million I assure you that he probably donates HUGE amounts already to help with his taxes. His ability to SMOOZE people was quite something...no wonder he is such a success in business. Maryann Kate was awfully mislead. I felt sorry for the gillian guy in the first hour...but he played it all wrong. The minute Mr Stearns started reeming him out about Supposedly be agressive with maryann, Gilligan SHOULD have said about how the couple were obviously strongarming Maryann and misleading her. Oh well...glad it is over.

I saw the Mrs Stearns on some show like Access Hollywood or something and she was showing her home....it was beautiful and it cost 12 million bucks. I had to laugh when I realized that their home was worth four times the entire net worth of the loser millionaires!

Maybe this is mean, but I was very glad that Maryann didn't win after she back-stabbed Gilligan. She can tell herself all she wants that she played the game "honestly", but she lied to Gilligan about being final 2 with him. I'm not sure I'll watch this show again. The best part of it for me was seeing Rod Stewart's ex and seeing there is a brain in that beautiful body.
