Is it just me or does Ginger have a crush on the proffessor? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOL. On the flip side of that, I always kinda hope that they *won't* UNLESS it's the final episode...b/c it always ruins the show.

Yes I think Ginger did have a crush on the Professor and Mary Ann had a big crush on Gilligan (as he did on her). Howell had Lovey, and the poor Skipper had nobody...I think I'm going to cry.

JWood201 · 10-17-2002, 10:10 PM

Aww, poor Skip. In "St. Gilligan and the Dragon," after the second "monster," when all the girls run to their respective guy, for a split second the Skipper kinda looks around and realizes that no one's hiding behind him. It's so sad! **tear** LOL.
Yay, another person who agrees w/ me that MA was totally crushing on Gil! (And that Gil was totally crushing on her. lol).
I think my Avatar says it all.
<----- Lookit those looks they're giving each other. LOL. **gets all warm and fuzzy inside**

Okay, I'm done now.

awwww!!!! that is just the CUTEST picture!!!

anyone who doesn't believe that mary ann had a crush on gilligan is just blind. even dawn herself said that it was crazy!!! she said mary ann would go after the professor....but not gilligan. HELLO???!!! she WAS mary ann....did she not listen to what she was saying and how she was acting?? how many freaking times did she call him sweet??? sheesh! there was so totally a crush there.
the most recently seen little bit of evidence:
episode 3....the "voodoo" one....when gilligan is telling about how somehow he fought the monster in the supply hut....she says something like "oh ginger, isn't he great?" (i dont' remember the exact words....yell at me if you wish). and just the way she LOOKS at him. tell me there isn't something there! just try! lol...also notice the way ginger is looking at the professor when he says about how he's a science teacher and he doesn't believe in voodoo....she has this little smile....i swear it! personally...i think it's because his shirt is open. that's why i was staring at him.

JWood201 · 10-18-2002, 05:35 PM

She says: **ahem** "Oh, Ginger, isn't he MARVELOUS?!" all dreamily-like.
**falls over and dies**
He was "wonderful" like 30 times throughout the course of the series...twice in one episode! LOL.
Yeah, I don't understand Dawn's vision there at all. LOL. She obviously wasn't paying attention during shooting. She only said the Prof thing b/c she thought Russ was a hunk. Swear to God! It's in the TV Guide Truth Behind the Sitcoms special. I about fell over. I did...

Julie the GI girl · 10-19-2002, 04:51 PM

well ok....i guess i can't blame her for that.....hee hee! russ really was quite a hunk! *big sigh*

I'm a Professor/Mary-Anne Shipper myself.

This is, although I have to agree with you about so many things that you've said, The Professor and Mary-Anne just had this special chemestry that you didn't see anywhere else on the island.

For instance...when they were trying to chear Mary-Anne up when they thought her boyfriend had married somene else. When the idea was first brought up...Gilligan said that he "Had no idea about stuff like that" The Skipper said that he'd "been acting like her big brother and couldn't start acting like her boyfriend now." However, when the Professor protested it, he simplly said "I have never shown any romantic intrest in Mary-Anne and am not about to start now."

In the reverse, however. On the eposode when Gilligan found that gym that was suppose to grant three wishes, and the professor didn't beleave in it so he didn't get involved...who was the first person to stay with him? Mary-Anne. She looked at him and said "Oh! I can't let the professor stay here all by himself." and she races over to her. You can tell that although the Professor is upset with her for her superstition, he is grateful that she'd give up what she thinks is her shot at getting off the Island for him.

On the mutial front. I can't specify one scene, but often when the Professor and Mary-Anne talk, they often don't need to even finish a sentence or thought. The Professor will say something, Mary-Anne will say something else, and they hold the rest of their conversation through facial expressions.

Now, I don't deny that there is something there between the Professor and Ginger, as well as something between Gilligan and Mary-Anne. But, in my oppion...The Professor and Mary-Anne were ment for eachother and Ginger and Gilligan are just roadblocks. (Sorry, I've been watching too much Lois and Clark with all that soulmates stuff)

JWood201 · 11-17-2002, 12:42 PM

Bah.

I really need to finish that chart of MA/Gil subtext and post it on my site.
Oh, yes, I've been documenting this for some time....

Julie the GI girl · 11-17-2002, 06:59 PM

i will definitely agree with some of that. but i think that the professor and mary ann had more of a brother/sister type of relationship. i mean....he was always looking out for her like a big brother would...and she usually supported his ideas....but there was nothing beyond that really. some people site the beauty contest episode as evidence. but i say it's not. i mean....the prof is a nice guy. mary ann is his friend. what was he supposed to do? of course they already know that ginger is beautiful, and mrs. howell has class....the professor wasn't going to just sit there and let nobody speak up for mary ann. (plus they had to have gilligan be the undecided one). but he even said "i have never shown the slightest bit of romantic interest in mary ann!" mary ann said it best though "the professor and i have nothing in common." she totally had a crush on gilligan.

as far as the professor and ginger.....you can just see it. it's hard to explain. but just little things they say to each other... you can tell that there's something there. and they're always together. ginger is always assisting him with experiments.....he goes to her with problems.....oh yeah. it's there.

JWood201 · 11-17-2002, 07:40 PM

Ah, yes, Julie, the Prof/Gin subtext. LOL. I never really looked for it until I started talking to you and, yep, THERE IT IS! It really is quite abundant, as is the MA/Gil.

I too never understood the whole "Look for MAP stuff in the Beauty contest ep!" Whatever. I've already posted all my feelings on this subject and I'm just too lazy to do it again.

I agree w/ everything Julie said though....
