Lovey's Secret Admirer - S3-E19
Other mistake: At the end of the episode when Gilligan is using the lie detector he says "I love spinach." The lie detector said it was a lie. But in the episode "Pass the vegetables please" spinach is his favorite vegetable.
Skipper Jonas Grumby: Ginger, I've got a problem... I've got a real problem... Now you're a girl, right?
Ginger Grant: Well, if you're not sure about that, you have got a problem.
Don't Bug the Mosquitoes - S2-E12
Trivia: The Wellingtons, who sang the Gilligan's Island theme song, appeared in this episode as Gilligan's favorite group The Mosquitoes.
Erika Tiffany Smith to the Rescue - S2-E15
Question: I'm very confused about the ending. During an interview, the interviewer says that the Navy are unable to find the castaways because Erika's log book is written in English translated from Hungarian. If her log book was translated from Hungarian to English, then how could the Navy be unable to use it to find the island and rescue everybody? She left out latitude and longitude but, there must have been something in the log book to give an idea of where the island was.

Answer: Hungarian-to-English translation aside, Erika's log-book entries were utterly meaningless. When the radio interviewer expresses confusion, Erika even reads entries from the log: "You take a left at a big, beautiful, pink tropical flower, then pull over and park," and "After the storm, we backed up and made a U-turn," etc. Her directions were scatterbrained, to put it nicely. Additionally, Erika's yacht was forced to leave the island during a tropical storm, and they lost their bearings for several days before the Navy found them. Given that Erika was such a scatterbrain, we might also assume that she didn't hire the most competent yacht crew, either.
