She doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life yet, so she’s living for the moment. My younger daughter, Amanda, is, unfortunately, more like I was at that age. She’s like her Mom: mature, level-headed, responsible, etc.
My older daughter, Trish, is married now. And of course my girls, who are 24 and 20 now, were pretty excited at the chance to see me on television. She knows I’m easily bored and always looking for something new and different to do. I’ve been married almost 27 years and my wife is used to me doing things on a whim. What did your family think about you going on the show? Tell us about your wife and daughters. The people I work with are mostly retired Navy and Marines, so naturally I took a lot of good-natured ribbing after losing a boat competition. My boss was great about it, giving me the time off work. What did the people you work with think about you going on the show? Does that count? But no.no acting for me. I was on The Papa John Show with my Cub Scout troop in the fourth grade. Had you done any acting or been on any other shows before? That really sucked! And then to see how it was edited and portrayed on television, which was something short of accurate, left a bad taste in my mouth as well. What was your least favorite thing about doing the show? It was a surreal moment and that’s when it really hit me that I was actually there. The second moment that comes to mind is when we went to the island, walked up the beach, and saw the camp for the first time.the thatched huts, hammock, shower, swing set, etc. He’s a very nice man, and to have the opportunity to talk to him and hear him tell stories about the original show and stars was a moment I’ll never forget. He was also the first person to tell me I looked like him, though I’ve heard it many times since (but don’t really see it myself). We got to chat for a few minutes and he told me a couple of stories about Alan Hale Jr, the original skipper. I had the chance to meet Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of Gilligan’s Island and the Brady Bunch. The first was when the finalists went to L.A. What was your favorite thing about doing the show? I can’t tell you exactly.I’m sworn to secrecy.but it’s somewhere in the area of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
The cast for the first season obviously had less time. If I remember correctly, we had about a month and a half to get ready. The teams for the first two seasons were chosen at the same time, and the seasons were filmed back-to-back, so we had to wait for Season 1 to finish filming before we went down. How long did you have to get ready before you left for the island? Since I’ve already been eliminated, I suppose it’s safe to say I was only on the island for 3 days.much too short of a period. We spent about 3 or 4 days at a resort before going to the island, although we were pretty much confined to our rooms the entire time and not allowed to see each other. The entire production period, start to finish, was approximately 3 weeks. Maybe she’s just a very intuitive or insightful person. That made me a little uncomfortable because most people have a hard time figuring out what makes me tick, if they ever do, and I had the feeling she could see right through me. She really stood out to me because she said some things that made me think she knew me well, or could read my mind. I was also very comfortable around Donna it was like we had known each other a long time. Maybe it just a father-figure type thing, trying to watch out for the young, vulnerable country girl, but I worried about her, even after I left. I felt a bond with everyone on my team, but I would probably have to say I bonded with Randi the most. Was there anyone that you bonded with quickly? But I can’t think of any others off the top of my head that I’d want to do. I’d love to do either of those shows or The Real Gilligan’s Island again. I don’t know if we would have made it if it hadn’t been for 9/11, but I liked our chances. The season was postponed and eventually almost entirely recast. with the other finalists on 9/11, and that changed everything. My older daughter and I were finalists for The Amazing Race 2. The only other reality shows I even make an attempt to watch are Survivor and The Amazing Race. I’d love to do another reality show, but it would depend on the show. And I thought I fit the bill for the Skipper.ĭo you think that you would like to do any more reality tv? It looked like a opical setting, beautiful women, and the thrill of the competition. I was on the internet looking for some information on The Amazing Race.still trying to get on with my daughter.when I saw the information for the Real Gilligan’s Island.
