Episodes where you didn't like Mary Ann *Spoilers*


I loved Mary Ann, she was my second favorite right after Gilligan, but I was just wondering were there any episodes where you didn't like her? For me, I never liked it when she would side with the others against Gilligan.

It's impossible to not like Mary Ann!

Well, like I said, I didn't dislike her, she just made me mad when she would side with the others against Gilligan.

How could one not find themselves mad at Gilligan from time to time? He repeatedly ruined their chances for rescue through his idiocy and naiveté.

Not all of them were his fault, though. He got blamed for a lot of stuff that wasn't his fault. For example, the episode You've Been Disconnected. Gilligan thought he was doing the right thing by covering the wires so the rain wouldn't ruin them. He had no idea the storm was going to take them out to sea. The punishment at the end I thought was too far, and not funny. Or in Splashdown, the Professor was the one who knocked the log out of place, not Gilligan, but he gets blamed for it. In Physical Fatness, Gilligan has to gain weight so he's eating a bunch of food. The Professor sits something down that looks like the same stuff Gilligan's eating out of. The Professor should've told him what it was, and yet, JUST Gilligan gets blamed.

Whenever the Professor or Skipper screw up they just shrug it off and are like, "Aww, it's okay," but if Gilligan does, then they turn on him like a pack of angry wolves.

You need to understand why Gilligan ruined the rescues. He wasn't getting any action in Hawaii, but the island was different. He was banging all three ladies. Gillihan was young, lithe and kind of cute. He had no competition from the fat sloppy skipper, the impotent old millionaire, and early arriving (if you know what I mean) egg head.

When you put it that way, that makes a lot of sense!

Ya think Ginger is acting like she is seducing him just to use him to get something?
No.
She is horny and wants him and the reason why Gil. is trying to avoid her is because he was just with Mrs. Howell or MA or both and is as dry as a desert! (If you know what I mean.)
