I guess I'd take the Doctor. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to be paired with a beautiful woman, but I dunno -- there are plenty of beautiful women at home and I'd rather live through the experience.

Oh please. There is not even a contest: SAWYER!! The deep philosophical conversations we would have near the camp fire at night...mmmhhh...

Jack. I would take Jack back with me. He's a doctor, handsome, can fight, can use a gun, and would require me to argue with him about things, which is something this mouthy bitch needs. I would also talk him out of waxing his chest, which he clearly did somehow in later episodes. I suppose the same wax he used was used by the ladies on the island to keep it from looking like they had Hurley's head in a leg-lock.

Anyway, Jack.

Locke. Obviously. Because I'd want to survive.

Sawyer if it's consensual because I'm no rapist. Otherwise John Locke.

Locke. Because yes, the philosophical conversations would be awesome. But also, he's a sexy beast.

As you so conspicuously left Kate out of the lust montage, I'm going to select her just to spite all you Kate-haters.

Ben. What? he's HOT.

Juliet. No question. Beautiful AND a doctor without all the annoying Shepherdisms.

My first reaction is Boone because good God do I ever love just gazing at Ian Somerhalder. However, (Spoiler) he totally bit it quick because he was a little naive and gullible so...

Sawyer is my choice. And not because of the obvious hotness (although that in no way hurts anything, ever). That man is a chameleon who adapts to anything and everyone around him and does what he has to do to survive. I might have to work in a no-nickname clause though.

Gonna put on my protective gear here and admit I never watched it. So.... The Smoke Monster? That's about weed, right? That'd be fun. Or I'd have to go with #4 up there. Got a thing for blondes. I'm Danish screw you.
Oh fuck it. What's Aniston up to?

Desmond. DUH.

Also that header pic still makes me a little blubbery.

I LIKED THE ENDING.

Oh L wit an E. So often we've been in agreement about things. It has to be
NO on Sayid. Greasy ickey hair, smoking, and the evil things done to other
humans. Dealbreakers all.
I'm going to roll with Desmond. Pretty nice to look at and I love me the menz
with the longer hair. Or the Lab (dog). A good pal would be needed on the island.

Yeah, if it's unconditional love you want, then Vincent is the only answer.

Juliet Burke - Excellent stomach shaver, master of the art of grilling sandwiches and toothpick placement. Will have your back. Exceptionally useful ally to have on your side. Just be sure to keep her on your side.

Sawyer.

I don't care if he couldn't find food. Or shelter. A couple of days with him and I'd be all set to die happy.

Hurley, he will be my emergency food source in case I have to murder him in his sleep for food.

I liked the ending too, Figgy.

Hmmmmm, who to take...well, Sawyer is bad and totally not good for me, so taking him would seem to be obvious. However, Jack is angsty and tortured, so he is ANOTHER obvious choice for me. Oh god, it's Sophie's choice!

Perhaps there is an 'ethnic' aspect to Sayid's luxurious locks. Seriously, I have no clue, help a bitch out here, anyone know about Middle Eastern hair? It never looked greasy to me, but definitely has a lot of texture.

I think Sayid and Locke were the two 'Real Men' in that crew. They unflinchingly stood up and did what they thought needed to be done, and took responsibility for their actions without deflection or whining.

Desmond and Sayid would be the top two. I loves me some accents. However, I would have to land on Sayid (oh yeah).

While Desmond is totally hot and brooding I think that would get tired after a while with no one else around to break up the storm clouds. Plus Sayid had the sexy voice that would probably be reason enough to choose him cos it'd be all I'd need ;) (a la Fran on Black Books).

jack. i know he's all sorts of messed up but, really, who isn't?

umm, hello... JIN!!!

while there were a crap ton of handsome men on one island (all with beautiful hair), Jin is by far the most overlooked. And once he learned English and got over his machismo ways, Jin could take directions very well. and let's be honest, I'm the decision-maker in the relationship.

I think this may be one of my favorite diversions yet. Thank you, Cindy! I will forever love LOST, in spite of the final episode.

So, my first thoughts go immediately to Sawyer, Desmond and Sayid. However, Cindy's point about Locke is very well-taken and you'd be sure to survive with him around. How can I narrow this down? Let's look for qualities that make one or more of them easy to eliminate.

Sayid: As much as I adore you and your lovely, flowing manlocks, I never really got your thing for Shannon which is a strike in my book. Plus, was I the only one grossed out by your long fingernails? I think not. Sorry, Sayid but you're off the short list.

Desmond: You, too, are fantastic. There are so many things to like about you and I would certainly want to have a little picnic/sleepover on the beach with you. BUT, Penny is your one true love and as much as I would want to frolic in the sand with your Scottish ass, I know you would always be thinking of Penny and how to find her and get back to her. Which means I'd never get that frolic so you're not going to make the cut either.

Locke: Clearly, my mind is in the gutter (come on - it's a desert island, we've got to have some fun to break up the survival tasks) and while I'm into follicly challenged men and all, you remind me too much of a grandpa. I would LOVE to have you on the island with me, but there is another that calls me with his perfect stubble and smart ass ways.

Yes, Sawyer, you would be my choice. First, you're easy on the eyes. Second, you are a complete and utter smart ass which, as some of you may remember from my story of how I met my beloved, is what drew me to my husband in the first place. Next, underneath your rough and tough "I could care less" facade, I know you are capable of love. I can be your new Juliette.

Finally, there are the practical attributes:

1. You like to read so we can lounge in hammocks we weave, reading books and compete in our own personal Cannonball Read.
2. You are handy with the axe and I'll be happy to watch you chop wood all day (without your shirt, of course) so we can warm ourselves by the fire at night.
3. You're bound to have a good stash of alcohol and other island necessities.
4. Whatever we don't have, you can con others out of.

The icing on the cake is that sweet, Southern accent, your sheepish grin, ability to handle a gun, and all of the infuriating (but beloved) nicknames you'd make up for me.

And there, Pajibans, is the case for Sawyer.

I would bring Eloise Hawking with me, but I would bring the youngest version of Eloise Hawking.

Reason 1) She's undeniably adorable. Blonde hair, nice figure, British accent. She's just a sexy package altogether.

Reason 2) She's trained on how to survive on the island. She knows her way around a gun, and is familiar with the terrain. I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in an uncorked light cave without someone with some survival training, so I'm more than happy to have her along.

Reason 3) I'd be able to catch her before she becomes the overbearing irritating woman she eventually becomes later in the series. With a little Death By Hippopotamus influence, she could stay hot and charming forever.

prairiegirl - You make a very good case, but what about Jin?

I would hug and kiss Libby all day. Why was she in the pysch ward? Who cares, gut shot got me hooked!

P.S. Seriously why was she in the psych ward?

Shit, spoiler!

Jack, ragey, sad-eyed, hot, hero-y, delicious Jack.

Probably Jack, because Hot Doctors are all I need on an island. I'd even put up with the God-complex.

@Tits McGee (love your handle, BTW):

I just went with the first LOSTies that came to mind. The ones I mentioned were always my favorite characters on the show. I like Jin, don't get me wrong, but I didn't get as caught up in his story/character as the others I listed.

I pick Charlotte.

sawyer.

Wow, I've had this debate so many times. Each time, I end with Sayid. As much as I'd like to hear Sawyer call me blondie, I think Sayid is the best of both worlds. Very resourceful and probably more sexually adventurous.

I'll take Charlie, I could be his Desmond, doing everything to keep his ass alive. And once he's gotten off the smack maybe we can construct a set of drums out of airplane pieces and jungle leaves, or skin and tan the hide of that damn polar bear Wintermute is so keen on. I would rather a bass guitar but its unlikely we could wing that.

Charlie and Locke were my favorites since the beginning and I have a Driveshaft ring so I had to go with Charlie over Locke... though I guess by that logic I could have picked Locke because I own a knife? Yeah I go with Charlie, that sounds like a better reason.

@Tits McGee - Yes, he did become more endeared to me as the series went on and when he stayed with Sun at the end in the sub, I BAWLED LIKE A BABY. I am rewatching the entire series again and am currently in the early part of season four so the likeable Jin is starting to come out. Maybe he didn't come to mind since the older, chauvanistic Jin is most present to me. I know it was his culture and upbringing, but his constant yelling at Sun turned me off.

All that being said, he does have a handsome chest. I will concur with you on that for sure.
