I found this online:

One interpretation of the Gilligan's Island/Deadly Sins correspondence:

Pride - the Professor

Covetousness - Mr. Howell

Lust - Ginger

Anger - Mrs. Howell

Gluttony - the Skipper

Envy - Mary Ann

Sloth - Gilligan

The way I’ve read it was this...

1. PRIDE: Most obvious is the Professor, who fits PRIDE to a T. Any man who can make a ham radio out of some wire and two coconuts has to be pretty cocky. His character was later revised and given a series of his own, called “MacGyver.”

2. ENVY: For the sin of ENVY we need look no further than Maryann, who may have worn those skimpy little tops, but could never achieve Ginger’s glamour. (As an interesting and completely irrelevant side note, a nationwide survey of college students a few years ago revealed that the professor and Maryann were voted the most likely couple to have hooked up on the island.)

3. LUST: And who could doubt for a moment that Ginger is LUST incarnate? You know and I know that glazed look wasn’t boredom, my friends.

4. GREED: What kind of person takes a trunk full of money on a three-hour cruise? Mr Howell gets my vote for GREED.

We are now left with three characters and three Deadly Sins. We have Gilligan, the Skipper and Mrs. Howell to whom we must match GLUTTONY, SLOTH and ANGER. As you can see, there is a Gilligan problem here.

5. SLOTH: Certainly we can further eliminate Mrs. Howell from this equation by connecting her with SLOTH. She didn’t do jack during her many years on the island and everybody knows it.

6,7. ANGER and GLUTONNY: This leaves ANGER and GLUTTONY, either of which the Skipper had no shortage. He was, after all, a big guy with the tendency to hit Gilligan with his hat at least once an episode. After much consideration, I have decided that he can easily do double-duty, covering the two remaining Deadly Sins.

So here we have the Seven Deadly Sins trapped in an endlessly recurring Hell of hope followed by denial and despair, forced to live with each other in our TVs until the last re-run ends. And who is their captor? What keeps them trapped there? Gilligan.

Gilligan is Lucifer. Think about it.

Pride - the Professor
Always gotta be the smart one
but with ideas that never gets them off the island

Envy - Mary Ann even had an
episode where she pretends to be.. Ginger!

Anger - the Skipper
He seems to always get angry
...with Gilligan

Gluttony - Gilligan
Gilligan eats an awful lot of food but is it a sin to have a high metabolic rate!, Banana cream pie being his favorite!

Greed- Mr.Howell.
The rich are never content with what they have and Mr Howell is no exception

Sloth - Mrs. Howell
Lays about doing a lot of nothing.

Lust - Ginger... By default. Ginger would be a runner up for Pride as she gets miffed if she’s not the center of attention. She maybe lusted after but who does she lust after? Fame, which leads up back to Pride!

Just my thoughts upon this earth shattering subject!
