...eight remaining castaways, three - Colleen, Sean and Rudy - appear to be wild cards. Colleen claims to have no strategy whatsoever, and indeed may have voted for Jenna to send her home to her kids (or so she could be sure of having the best female bod on the island). Rudy, with the wife out of "American Gothic," seemed to think Greg and his sister were doing an "incest type of thing" - good reason to clear the island of that whippersnapper, who was also sleeping with Colleen but flirting with Richard. And Sean? He voted for Greg because he's going...
...scenes in Fiji.) "It makes you crazy," he says. "You're not sharing the storytelling lifting with someone you can react off of. It's almost like making a silent movie; you have to tell every aspect of the story physically, being totally alone." Well, not totally alone. The castaway adopts a piece of flotsam--a volleyball he names Wilson, for its manufacturer--as his best friend and foil. (Strangely enough, Wilson has the surname of Hanks' wife Rita, although, barring major script revisions, they never get that close.) "I've worked with kids and dogs," says Hanks...
...three- and four-day cruises take you to Nassau, Bahamas, where gamblers can get their fix, and to a private Disney island called Castaway Cay. On this 1,000-acre preserve, kids are supervised in water play, while adults stroll (or bike ride) off to a remote beach for a massage and swimming.

Then it's off to one of three Broadway-style...
These qualities were obviously not lost on director Ivan Reitman when he cast her--well before the issue of her personal romantic preferences raised its irrelevant head--in Six Days, Seven Nights. For this is a castaway comedy with a stronger-than-usual admixture of action sequences thrown in to please her co-star's boyish fans. His Quinn is a charter pilot and social dropout. Her Robin is a nervous small-plane passenger and magazine editor. And they are forced to survive on a tropical island when their plane is forced down by a storm...
...their quest for synthetic perfection, the cruise lines have created their own ports of call. Disney's Castaway Cay in the Bahamas features three beaches and a 12-acre snorkeling lagoon. At Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean's 140-acre island, aquamarine waters lap at the white sand beach, while snorkelers explore a 16th century sailing ship and a small plane that the company submerged to give divers a sense of adventure. Alas, what Royal Caribbean calls a controlled shore experience some others have labeled a limited amusement experience. "There's nothing here but some palm trees," complained LaDonne Herring...
