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?
