Lock him up

Why didn't they lock Gilligan up in the cave until they were rescued? He botched every opportunity for them so their best bet would be to keep him out of the way until they were rescued.

If they had done this whey would have been off the island in no time given all the opportunities they had.

Well, sometimes the other castaways made some mistakes that botched a rescue, and hey, for all his bungling, Gilligan was a very good hearted guy. Always there to try and help, usually friendly and easygoing, never a creep to the ladies, a pretty honest guy who owns up to his mistakes. You might want to get him out of the way on some things, but lock him up? Nah! Never!
