The Real Gilligan's Island was a reality series based on the formerly popular 1960s sitcom Gilligan's Island where two teams have to survive on a deserted island. This show has the theme of Gilligan's Island and each member of the team represents one character of the show's cast.
Premise[]
The series takes ordinary people and maroons them on an island just like the old sitcom. The idea is to get off the island. In addition, each contestant is similar to the sitcoms original characters (i.e. Gilligan, Skipper, The Howells, The Professor, Mary-Ann and Ginger).

In season 1, Glenn Stearns {the Millionaire} was the winner while in season 2, "Crazy" Charlie Albert {the Skipper} was the winner.
