While there are definitely some funny moments here, this is also a good character-driven episode.  We see how the castaways are quarreling with each other and how the Professor and Ginger team up to raise morale, even if it does involve fraud, as she pretends to be psychic.  Gilligan is the most gullible, and Ginger jokes that she could convince the sailor that he's President Johnson, or even Lady Bird.  In the end, Ginger asks each of the castaways not to give her away, and they keep her secret.

George O'Hanlon also wrote "Good Neighbor Sam," while Charles Tannen co-wrote that and worked on three other scripts.
