I reserve Judgement at this point.

What has turned me off is the Bob the Skipper incident. Did anyone else notice that the producers didnt bring in a helicopter until DARK!!!! When he first fell Bob was a HORRIBLE shade of blueish purple which I know usually means heart attack or respiratory arrest. It seems that the cameras were happily taking shots of the team's reactions INSTEAD of administering emergency First Aide.

it seems that this show is casted for Theatric drama and conflict...which is NOT what the original Gilligans Island was about.

So far I'd say that Gilligan Gooner is an actor Plant to keep things light with comedy relief. His falling around seems obviously put on...I should do a IMBD search??

Anyways, I reserve judgement...once I get over the gimmick of using G.Isl. as a pretense I may like it. You never know LOL

I watched the first hour of the show, it was OK, nothing too spectacular. I also think the Gilligan Gooner is either an act by the person or he was told to act that way by the producers. The one whole group seemed a bit strange.

Hopefully I recorded the second part of the show late last night, but I'm not sure if my roommate shut the cable box off when he went to bed, if he did all I will get is snow on the tape.

I don't like the idea of it being on two nights in a row, I know I will miss tonights show because of other commitments and I can only record so many different shows.

I watched the first hour...then had conflicts with taping the Biggest Loser and watching TAR...so anyone care to review the last hour of this show...who got kicked off or did they just skip that since they lost a Skipper earlier?

Early impression-SILLY, why would Millionaires go on this show and that older millionaire wife is way over the top...maybe spending time with the gay proffessor will open her mind a little.

Cast bios and other stuff HERE Nothing to indicate that "Gooner" is anything other than a goofball.

The elmination contest was to build a raft, which two team members (the professor and his choice) race out to a buoy, retrieve a flag and bring the flag back to shore.

The green team's skipper built an amazing raft, and the gold team's Gilligan took the lead in building a much smaller, less sturdy raft for his team. (Odd to me that they had a challenge that was important to the professors, but it was really the skippers and first mates arena of expertise.)

Anyway, turned out the smaller raft was easier to paddle and the gold team won easily, sending young professor home.

I really like the old professor, so I'm glad he got to stay.

I thought the show was great lighthearted fun. Yes, there are Gooners in the world. I know one. What is scary is that he looks like gooner.
YAY, for the older professor. I like him alot.
I really like Rachel Hunter. She seems like a real levelheaded, fun person. The funniest part of the show was Gooner peddling away pumping that water while she was showering. That was hilarious.

too much sun!!!
Not enough moisturizer!!

Anyways, I dont like the constant fighting with Donna. Why cant they just leave her alone? If they dont argue with her she will be quiet. No one wins by 'facing off' and expecting a strong person to say Oh gee, you are right and I am wrong and stupid.

I am surprised no one here thought it was a little weird that the girls wanted the Gay Professor to dress up drag. Not all gay men are into that..it was a little stereotypical.

Oh well, I shall faithfully watch tonight and see if I start to like it any better. Always an optimist!! ha ha

Sunshyne - If they quit talking to Donna, I can see her sitting all alone talking to herself for hours

I thought that was a little strange about the professor dressing up too. I kind of think that was part of the "not-so-reality tv" part of the show. It kind of seemed set up for some reason.

I will be watching. I have to watch at 10:15-11:15 ct. I forgot to set my dvd recorder. I get off work at 7 and have to get groceries. Then do my treadmill. Then I can cushy into the couch for Gilligan Isle.

Wow Donna is ONLY 45?!!!!!! Yowzers!!!! I think I should kiss and thank my parents or something for good genes since I'm 48 and look more like 40 and I thought that woman was in at least her mid 50s and looking bad for that age!!! Funny thing is, with all these remake shows, I kept wondering why she didn't get plastic surgery if she was so rich and looked so bad at her age which was a lot older than she really is. No wonder her husband seemed a lot younger than her. Yikes!!

I also agree about them taking forever to get treatment for the skipper! They're lucky he didn't die right there! I'll be they did have someone check him medically and then edited out. They'd have to have medical people there or they could be in real trouble I would imagine. That just went on far too long not to have some kind of medical personnel checking him out. I felt realy bad for him and his team.

I admit I was really rooting for Professor Eric. I have read too much and taken too many classes in things like The Sociology of Masculinities and The Sociology of Sexualities not to have an abiding interest in seeing him succeed. Why oh why did he have to lose to someone in the hard sciences? Where is the justice? Oh woe is me.

Okay, I have seen three episodes and I can't get over the fact that the show host is too much like the Joe Schmo host that it is killing the show for me.

Also, this is a teensy bit like Celebrity Mole to me. (Call me crazy) But, when some of the cast doesn't have their so-called life on the line and this is not going to make or break their career, what motivation do they go by. Holly is very compassionate and is willing to forget the show and help others. Is their a financial gain for the winning group on this show?

Is it just me or is the remaining captain bored with this whole thing. We see no side interviews with him. Just the hotties and the controversies.

It wouldn't hurt me to not want to know when this is going to air again. Thank goodness, Survivor and Apprentice are on tomorrow night to erase this bad memory from my head.

I didn't see all of it but I do know that the Mariannes competed and Marianne Kate from the Gols team is staying.Then the Millionaires competed in a eating gross things compition and the Gold team millionaires won,so the blond is gone..The gold team won a martini bar and Gilligan Chris and Marianne Kate got cozy in his hammock.That's all i can think of right now.

The thing I like about the show, its not about alliances!! I dont get why the setting of Gilligans Island, and I am curious as to what comes next, all in all its strange, but for a reality tv addict, I find parts totally amusing!! The drama millionare mrs was making lots of good tv, but it didnt take much to cut her loose. The funny thing they had a table of gross food, chicken feet, rectums, beehive, worms, w/ different $amounts and certain time limits... they had a lobster tail for $5, but no butter, so the Ginger who ate it said it was tough, and no flavor, so no one else ate that!! (each team member got to chose to eat something gross to add to keep thier team member, so guess which team ate the weirdest food? LOL, but in the end it didnt matter as the millionaires had 1/2 hour to eat whatever, and they did have water to help swallow!! (now did anywone thing the green Gilligan tried to eat his weird food? LOL)

and in typical fashion when she left she stated that she was the winner... just blabbed on and on, have no idea what she said, but she kept on saying it!!
