Gilligan's Island Beauty

Former Playboy pinup and Baywatch babe Erika Eleniak — who was the resident blonde bombshell before Pam Anderson stole the show — has found a new reason to don a skimpy bikini on TV.

Eleniak and fellow model-actress Angie Everhart are the two competing Gingers in the second season of TBS' The Real Gilligan's Island, which debuts tonight at 9 pm/ET. Inspired by the classic sitcom and created by The Bachelor's Mike Fleiss, this goofy reality show pits two teams of "stranded" copycat castaways against each other for a $250,000 jackpot.

While the rest of the contestants are civilians, the Ginger slots are filled with D-list celebs. Last season they were Rod Stewart's Aussie model ex, Rachel Hunter, and Nicole Eggert from Charles in Charge and Baywatch. Did Eleniak — who at least enjoys a thriving B-movie career — have any trepidation about following in their footsteps?
