Overcoming a clash with last month's Hurricane Ivan that resulted in the evacuation of its marooned castaways and brought a temporary halt to filming, TBS's The Real Gilligan's Island, a reality show remake of the classic 1960's sitcom, has wrapped production and will premiere as previously scheduled on Tuesday, November 30 at 8PM ET/PT

Despite also keeping the exact identities of its castmembers secret, the network has released a teaser photo and descriptions of the cast. The seven members of The Real Gilligan's Island are:
• A real-life millionaire who owns 26 different companies
• The millionaire's wife, who is a television personality
• A skipper who is "the fleet captain at his local boat club, a commercial fisherman and a harbor master"
• A bumbling first mate who once crashed a two million-dollar boats into each other while working at a marina
• A beautiful small-town girl whose mother, upon learning she'd been cast on the show, made her learn how to open a coconut with a rock and make a coconut cream pie
• A professor from a major California university
• A high-maintenance but fun-loving movie star who, according to the network "will be featured in three movies in 2004" (and whom, according to Star Magazine is Carmen Electra.)
