Default Original Ginger and Bunny vs. regular Ginger and MaryAnn

Which duo was better looking? Kit Smythe was certainly not as pretty as Tina Louise. But Nancy McCarthy is a dfferent story. Is she at least as pretty as Dawn Wells? Hard to say.

May be it's because I'm used to see Tina Louise and Dawn Wells.I like them better than the originals.Bunny was too stupid,they didn't need another Gilligan and the original Ginger was too mean to Gilligan,nobody wouldn't like her.

I wonder what (if anything) in the pilot "secretary" Ginger's last name was supposed to be. Probably not Grant.

THat Nancy McCarthy (as Bunny) was one very good looking, sexy woman as well as Dawn Wells. Only Kit Smythe as Ginger was out and outt inferior looking to her replacement, Tina Louise. Though Kit was nice looking in her own right.

Default Nancy McCarthy

I recently re-watched the original pilot of Gilligan's Island. Nancy McCarthy was extremely attractive, and quite curvacious. I wish Nancy had portrayed "Ginger" instead of Tina Louise, who apparently wasn't happy about being on the show to begin with. Kit Smythe's character was not that interesting, IMO.

Did it say in any of the Gilligan's Island books anything about Tina and Dawn. Did it say how they got along? Dawn said they got along pretty well, but did the books say anything else about the two of them? Also, does anyone know what they were wearing in the mudbath? If you can tell me, that would be great. Thanks.
