`GILLIGAN'S ISLAND' STAR OFFERS TIPS FOR NEW CASTAWAY GAME SHOW

DRIGGS, Idaho (Wireless Flash) -- Mary Ann of "Gilligan's Island" fame has a tip for those contestants stranded on a deserted island for a new CBS game show: try to get along. Actress Dawn Wells -- who played Mary Ann -- claims the 16 competitors could learn a lot from watching reruns of "Gilligan's Island." The contestants are now spending their fourth of 39 days stranded on an island in the South China sea, and Wells thinks getting along with folks from different backgrounds is the best way to survive in the middle of nowhere. What if the original "Gilligan's Island" cast were stranded on the new game show? Wells says farm girl Mary Ann would easily outlast Ginger, Gilligan or the Howells -- but she admits the Professor or the Skipper would probably win in the end.
