    Such a fun episode!!! Every lady castaway had some sort of prank played on them to mess up their performances. Mrs. Howell sneezed from pepper while she recited a monolog, Ginger had darts hurled at her while she sang, and Mary Ann tried to dance with one stiletto heel permanently glued to the stage. Usually Gilligan and Skipper are the ones to stepping into \"sticky situations\". Thanks, Debbie

    Mrs. Howell doesn't like it when the skipper picked Ginger as the most beautiful, and since he picked his wife, the professor picked Mary Ann, which is really predictable. All the guys think that only one of the girls is the most beautiful is funny. Gilligan actually having a good idea with the beauty pageant is awesome. Then when he starts messing up everyone when they are practicing it's hilarious. Everyone trying to convince Gilligan to vote for a certain girl is typical because it always happens. The pageant itself is pretty awesome and funny. I think it's awesome how Gilligan entered Gladys in the pageant and that she won.moreless

    • Alan Hale, Russell Johnson, and Bob Denver were all smokers, so it's likely one of them left the butt! Edit
    • In one scene Gilligan falls on the ground, be sure to look for the cigarette butt in the sand...I don't recall any of the castaways smoking. Edit

Thurston: What's that got to do with it? Gilligan: Well to enter a beauty contest, you have to be a native and she's the only one born on the island. Professor: He's got a point there.
