Ricky's co star

Interesting that guest star Claude Akins makes reference to the movie he and Ricky made n Hollywood and they are appearing on the same another movie in Florida.

This has some funny stuff but the basic plot coupled with the backstage difficulties makes this one a little harder to enjoy. It's just too similar. I try to separate the entertainment from other things but it's not always possible. It's also honestly one of Lucy's lamest schemes.

I do like the scenes when they are stranded on the island. Fred is really the one I enjoy the most in this episode. His comment about hitching a ride on a passing halibut cracks me up every time.

Boat rides and beauty contests

The second half works better for me than the first half. The set up for this episode is pretty basic the old jealousy thing.

Still in Miami the guys are invited to judge a beauty contest. Ethel wants to stop it but Lucy is uncharacteristically understanding - until she meets the young women.

Lucy plans to sabotage it in a way that ultimately strands them all on a desert island. Lucy thinks she's accomplished her goal but it backfires big time.

On one had Lucy's antics do get them all invited to a big luau ( sounds fun) but the guys still get to judge the contest. It's one of the time I think it's kind of deserved it just seemed like an overreaction by Lucy and Ethel.
