        @BeschlossDC It would have been awkward if Gilligan would have lost that election given the Island was named after him.

        @BeschlossDC Only because campaign finance reform prevented Howell from buying Ginger & MaryAnn's votes.

        @chucktodd Right, and THIII & the Skipper hurt themselves by making campaign promises they couldn’t keep.

        @chucktodd The Professor tries to ensure the island election is clean & counts votes resulting in Gilligan’s victory.

        @BeschlossDC Gilligan pantomimed the island getting nuked, which scared Ginger and Mary Ann.

        @BeschlossDC Otherwise it would've been called "Thurston's Island", which just doesn't have the same ring.
