The effect that puts someone on the list of people you would have sex with that wouldn't otherwise be there by imagining that you and the group of people you are with are trapped on a desert island .
Well, the people here are all ugly, but that guy over there is benefitting from the Gilligan's Island Effect.

A formulaic, boiler-plate television show where the same basic plot or premise occurs each episode but in a different way, (i.e. The crew of the Minnow come up with a plan to get off the uncharted, desert isle, but Gilligan screws it all up.). Notorious examples are how-to shows where some contractor or contracting group comes to a house, shows a plan, does the work, and then, “Oh… my… God,” shows the owner the result. Other examples are Eureka, American Chopper, Curb Appeal, and Save My Bath.
You know, that reminds me of that one American Chopper?

Which one?

The one where they decide to create a really cool, one-off motorcycle, but they make sure not to give themselves enough time before they plan on showing it, so the dad and son keep getting into arguments, Vince does all the work, but somehow they manage to get the chopper finished in time for the show. And Mikey is just weird.

Oh, well that narrows it down a lot. That is a real Gilligan's Island show.

When you are totally trying to be nice to someone, but you fuck it all up.
"He fixed Ginger's skateboard, for free from what I hear."
"Ginger can't skate anymore, she's in a wheelchair!"
"You didn't let me finish- from what I hear he left it on her back porch as a surprise."
"That's how she ended up in a wheelchair? What a Gilligan!"
