LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Rachel Hunter, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, ex-Mrs. Rod Stewart and "Are You Hot?" judge, will take the role of "Ginger" in "The Real Gilligan's Island," TBS's unscripted take on the classic sitcom. Hunter is the first of the seven castaways -- which the cable network cast as closely as it could to the original character templates of skipper, first mate, et al -- to have her identity revealed. "Mary Ann," a student from Manchester, Mo., is scheduled to appear in the pages of Maxim, which hits newsstands this week. The rest of the castaways will be revealed when the show debuts Tuesday, Nov. 30.
While she's undeniably famous, Hunter stretches the definition of "movie star" a little bit. Her film credits include such little-seen fare as "Rock Star," "A Walk in the Park" and the TV movie "Best Actress."
"The Real Gilligan's Island" will cross the very familiar stories of its namesake 1960s sitcom with more current fare like "Survivor." The seven castaways will take part in challenges modeled after incidents on the original show, like building a raft or collecting coconuts. The show is a collaboration between Mike Fleiss, who created "The Bachelor," and "Gilligan's Island" creator Sherwood Schwartz. Schwartz's son, Lloyd, is also an executive producer.
Fleiss also produced the widely reviled "Are You Hot?," on which Hunter served as a judge of male and female beauty.
Not to change the subject, but what does "jump the shark" mean?
The only thing I ever saw her in was a music video of Stewart's. She was gorgeous.

I don't have time to read this, but I googled your exact question,
what does "jump the shark" mean?"
Here is the results page.....

Phrase for the point where a TV show stops being watchable, and turns into a farce. Fonzie jumped a shark on water skis wearing his leather jacket, that was the end of "Happy Days" and the begining of a new term to describe the apex of a show's entertainment value. Other classic "Jump the Shark" moments include:
When Max and 99 got married and had a baby - Get Smart "Jumps."
The Brady Bunch brings in cousin Oliver.
Some shows NEVER jump. Hogan's Heros and Gilligan's Island (the original series) are two classics.
Read more about your favorite shows and classic "Shark Jumpers" here:
Barney Rubble had it going on - little shrimp like him married to a babe like Betty!
Whenever Ted McGinley joins the cast of any show, it jumps.
Jeannie
I thought 'Married...With Children' was better with Ted McGinley
(Yes, I've read the JTS website)
We need a term for the "Reverse Shark Jump" where a show that was on life suppport or worse is saved by the appearance of a new cast member.
My vote for whatever the "Reverse Shark Jump" is called is whenever Heather Locklear joins the cast - she turns any garbage show into something instantly watchable.
And my vote for what to call it is (based on Heather's "abilities") "Jump Heather." {;^)
Everybody loves Mary Ann
mmmmmm Heather.....
This is a little easier. Definately Jeannie. There's something special about being able to get a woman off a bookshelf and pour her out of a bottle when you need her.
I hear ya brother. I've met guys like that. Must have been hung..er...I mean hungry for attention Yeah that's it.
Two kinds of men in the world: Ginger and Mary Ann.
What is amazing is almost every other guy I know is a Mary Ann guy (except for the few whacko "Mrs. Howell" guys).
Maybe because she wore short shorts while gingerhid herself in those ballroom gowns.
