This time the lookalike doesn't look like the castaway when we first see her.  Eva Grubb not only wears drab clothes but she wears glasses and has black hair in a bun.  Ever since I was a kid, I've never understood how the women decide to give Eva red hair.  It would've made more sense if it was red to begin with, or a color close to red, like dark auburn.  Still, it's interesting to see Tina Louise in a dual role.  Shipping is complicated here by Eva's presence, since when the Professor tells Eva she's beautiful, he's really complimenting Ginger.  And when Gilligan tries to resist Eva kissing him, how much of this has to do with his feelings about Ginger?  Note that the Professor and Mary Ann dance at the party twice, but Eva only dances with Mrs. Howell!  And I'm going to assume that Eva either reformed at sea or didn't make it back, since we don't hear anything further about her taking over Ginger's Hollywood career.
