 This temporarily works, until Mary Ann says, "Except for Gilligan", before Ginger and she start crying again.Gilligan is occasionally the exception to the rescue ruination, though.In the episode "The Big Gold Strike", which involved both the finding of the S.S. "Minnow's" life raft and repairing of it, along with the discovery of gold on the island, the Professor warned the castaways to not bring gold on the raft due to weight concerns, but every castaway brought a personal item on with them to smuggle gold, with an alternate excuse as to why (including the Professor and the Skipper), causing the raft to sink in the lagoon and for them to lose both the raft and gold.
