As the show begins, we are introduced to both teams of castaways as they board the S.S. Minnow, run into an unexpected storm, and make their ways to the island. As the teams arrive, however, they learn of the shows hidden twist: that not one, but two casts will be competing for the grand prize and for a chance to be rescued from the island. As there can ultimately be only one cast, though, each cast member from the two teams will be competing against their own counterpart for a spot in the final cast. The teams spend their first day on the island getting to know one another, spending time surveying and exploring the land, evaluating their resources, and setting up their living quarters. All goes well until the first night, however, when tempers with the Green Team flare up, and as each person begins to realize just how ""real"" their situation on the island is! On their second day, the teams awake to their first competition, where the winning team will win mattresses, sheets, pillows and

On this episode of The Real Gilligan's Island, the two teams face off once again in the battle of the Mary Ann's! As the show opens, both MarycAnn Kate and MarycAnn Amanda strategize with their teams in an effort to help their chances in the upcoming competition. As both of them are nervous about being on the chopping block, they are remaining upbeat and optimistic, and plan to give this challenge their all. When the time finally arrives for them to compete, the girls learn that they will be competing in a race to obtain a major ingredient for coconut cream pies: coconut milk. With the help of two team members, each Mary Ann must acquire the coconuts from the nearby trees, crack them open, and drain the milk in to five separate containers. The first competitor to completely fill all five containers with the coconut milk will be announced the winner and will recieve a spot in the ""final seven"". Throughout the race, both Mary Ann's are neck and neck, as each of them are working their har

As the next episode of The Real Gilligan's Island begins, we watch as the Gold Team recovers from their previous night's festivities and as both Ginger Nicole and Ginger Rachel prepare for their elimination challenge that day. Mr. Stearns begins the morning by setting out to investigate the current situation between Mary Ann Kate and Gilligan Chris. He is anxious to find out as much information as he can about their relationship, and just exactly what their motivations are. However, Gilligan Chris is quick to deny any misbehavior between he and Mary Ann Kate, and simply states that there is nothing between them but friendship (and a tiny bit of an alliance!) Nevertheless, its right down to business later that morning as it is announced that the Ginger's will be heading to a nearby lagoon for their head-to-head competition. When the teams finally arrive, Scott tells the Ginger's that it's their love of jewelry and the finer things in life that twill be the source of their challenge that

As the next episode begins, we watch as the gang returns to camp to investigate the damage Hurricane Ivan wreaked on their camp. To be expected, everything is in total disarray (though the huts, luckily, are still standing), and a major cleanup session is in need. However, the castaways remain optimistic and are thankful that the damage wasn't more serious than it could have been. In the midst of their cleanup, the castaways are surprised by host Scott Lasky, who has come to reveal yet another twist and turn to the game. It is now down to seven final castaways, who will be competing for a chance to be rescued from the island and for one ultimate grand prize: a brand-new 2005 Ford Mustang and a $250,000 cash prize. It is now every man/woman for themselves (including the millionaire couple), as there will only be one winner. The contestants will also be competing in two different kinds of competitions: reward competitions, for various prizes and rewards, and safety competitions. The cast

The morning after their first elimination at Voodoo Village, tension is obvious among the castaways, especially between Glenn Stearns and Ginger Rachel. The contestants are all eager to discuss strategy from here on out, and the questions of alliances and who can trust who are most definitely coming into play. However, the game must go forward. Early that morning, the castaways are informed that they will be competing in their next reward competition. The castaways meet host Scott Lasky at the beach, where he informs them of their next challenge. First, the castaways will pair up in three sets of two; Mr. and Mrs. Stearns obviously act as one pair, while Gilligan Chris and Mary Ann Kate pair up as the second, leaving team number three that of Ginger Rachel and Skipper Jim. Next, one of the contestants will be blindfolded while their teammate will be shackled to a pole. The contestant shackled to the pole will give their blindfolded teammate directions to the locations of two sets of ke

As the first half of the season finale of The Real Gilligan's Island begins, we watch as the contestants begin strategizing more and more, as alliances begin coming into question and as the race toward the end of the competition draws nearer and nearer. The Stearns now realize that they are just as vulnerable as anyone else on the island and that their ""alliance"" may not be as strong as they think. They begin attempting to find ways to pick off each person left on the island one by one and to ensure their places in the game. This couple is definitely proving to be a force not to reckoned with. That same morning, the contestants receive another radio message and are asked to report the to the picnic tables for their next reward challenge. Upon arriving there, they are greeted by host Scott Lasky and are seated in front of five different platters, which contain each person's favorite meal. Of course, the castaways have come to expect some sort of unusual twist in each competition, but th

As the season finale of The Real Gilligan's Island continues, Gilligan Chris and Mary Ann Kate clash over the vote at Voodoo Village the previous night. Gilligan Chris believes that Mary Ann Kate made the wrong decision, keeping one of their strongest competitors in the game, but Mary Ann believes she held true to her integrity and made the decision that was best for her. In spite of this, however, the two of them realize that they are the ones who need one another the most in the competition and that they must find a way to stick together. On the other hand, the Stearns continue their manipulative scheming, and force Mary Ann Kate into a position where she has to choose between two different alliances: the alliance she has with the Stearns, and with the promise she made with Gilligan Chris to take him to the final two. The Stearns will stop at nothing to turn Mary Ann Kate on Gilligan Chris, and to use her in getting themselves to the final two. That morning, the castaways are informe
