This version of the original is about seven cast aways who are stuck on an island and must try to get saved while trying to get the others eliminated from the game. The only reason guys watch it is because of the chicks. Yeah. Ya heard me. That is pretty much the only reason why. Other than that, nothing else.

I think "The Real Gilligan's Island"is about the most retarded show I've ever heard of! I mean come on! I love Gilligan's Island.....but they took that show and turned it into a reality nightmare........I absolutely can't STAND reality shows, like Joe Millionaire and garbage like that......the show may get good reviews by others, but they sure won't get one from me!

This should be renamed "The Stupidest Incarnation Of 'Survivor' Ever Produced." Did Sherwood Schwartz even sign off on this show? This piece of garbage was a failed attempt to revive the original (and best) "Gilligan's Island" series. What it is, though, is nothing short of a monolith of suck featuring 14 real castaways (Wha? Why on Earth am I seeing double of everybody?), featuring a blonde Gilligan and a terrifying Professor (forget about Russell Johnson's lovable character--how about a big, jive-talking "Professor Of Love"?). Why producers of this series felt the need to cheapen the original classic with "Survivor"-esque competitions and too much sex appeal (though I admit that's not really bad) is beyond me.

A good reailty series becomes more rare and more rare as lousy ones plague the primetime lineups. This show, however, is not one of those bad reality series. Located on a real uncharted island, 14 "castaways" compete to be rescued. There are two gilligans, two skippers, two millionaire couples, two movie stars, two farm girls and two professors compete to be called their characters name, and last until the final head-to head competition to win the $250,000. This is a really great show, but the second season was worse than the first. If they got some new games, some people who were ACTUALLY professors or millionaires and made being eliminated more fair than just a vote-off, this could become the best reality show on television.
