Question If you where stuck on a deserted island with one of the cast members?

Which one would they be?

For me it would be Jo or Mrs G. Jo because she seems very crafty or Mrs G because she can cook and she would seem more sensible minded.

Yeah, Jo's a good pick because of that. I think Natalie would be more pleasant company, though. Blair would be the best of all since you are guaranteed to be rescued quickly. Headline: "Millionaire Heiress Lost at Sea -- $5M Reward Offered by Warner Industries CEO". I'd have to banish her to the other side of the island though or I might slug her in a fit of annoyance induced rage.

I'd take Natalie and Tootie. I think they would be a lot of fun. I don't think I'd be able to get off the island though unless Jo went along.

I would say Jo because she seems like the type that would know how to build a raft out of wood. Or Mrs. G like Love Sally Field said she can cook and she is also easy to get along with. I'm afraid if Blair would be there she would be freaking out about being lost and that she doesn't have any of her things and can't stay clean and all that but like OldBiddy said since she is a rich Millionaire Heiress her parents would call all the search and rescue people to go look for her since they can give a big reward for her return.

I don't know if it's because of PC or what?
The question "Who would you like to be stuck on an island with?" just doesn't have the same meaning as it used to.
Now it's "Well, if they know how to cook, or how to make stuff, or make a satellite to get us rescued sooner..."

Heck with ya - Sue-floopin'-Ann!

Ha ha ha ha! I didn't think about that! I'm not trying to be PC, it's just that I could be these girls' mom. OK then, I'll go for Mr. Bradley.

I'm a guy, Blair of course, sure it would be high-drama and high maintenance, but gosh darn, I'd make a blow dryer out of coconuts and a conch shell for her!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I were stuck with a *character,* I would choose Jo....for reasons others have cited. She would be the most likely to know (or figure out) how to build a raft, or shelter, etc. She also seems the least likely to freak-out, or whine, about the stiatuion.

However, if I were stuck with one of the *actresses*.....it would be Lisa, hands down! She is totally obsessed with "Survivor", and has commented many times that she would like to be on it. Also, a few months ago, she went on some 10-day wilderness excurision, with nothing but what she could carry in a backpack. The woman knows how to "rough it!" I would let her kill the rodents and grill them up for us to eat. LOL

10 days without Peet's Coffee? Ugh! Hmmm... I wonder what Major Dickason's Blend tastes like with roasted chipmonk... OK, you can vote me off now.

I always liked Lisa (much) more than Blair... I know she gets bashed (by some fans) for her strong religious beliefs, but I find that very appealing about her (whether I agree with them all is irrelevant)... Anyway, to answer the question, definitely Jo, because I'm pretty sure she's the only one I could handle being stuck on a desert island with for a long time (I hope), or even a short time... She's working class, and can handle being outdoors (and probably prefers it much more than the other three)... I miss working class females on tv, like Jo, with working class attitude and style... Crappy fashion magazines have too much influence in Hollywood/on screen these days...

Actually, Jo was a big city girl through and through. She didn't like the outdoors. I think she said in one episode that she was allergic to fresh air or something like that. Remember the episode where she was trying to kill the squirrel and the other girls were horrified?

Maybe Sue Ann would be more practical since she was a farm girl.

Wait! What am I saying? I forgot about George! Oh definitely it would have to be George.
