It’s been nearly a week since comedian Marina Franklin was stranded on a deserted island after the Wrecked TBS media event. During that time, we’ve witnessed her clothes become disheveled with alarming rapidity, heard a lifetime’s worth of off-key renditions of Message in a Bottle and even learned how to make turtle soup (the obvious island go-to). 

Most importantly, we’ve heard Marina and the Wrecked cast members respond to your questions. From the useful to the useless, your questions have kept Marina entertained on the island and given her hope in her time of need.

With just days to go until Marina is finally rescued and Wrecked premieres on TBS, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites and responded to them GIF-style.

Read on, share on and don’t forget to tune in to Marina live from the island on Monday, June 13th, and Tuesday, June 14th. 

1. Has the internet withdrawal set in yet?

– Julie 

As anyone who has suffered from a dead battery knows all too well, internet withdrawal is real. And it’s hard.

“I can’t get on to my dating app,” were the first words out of Marina’s mouth, appropriately followed by an all-too relatable note about selfies.

2. I heard sand tastes nasty. Can you confirm?

– Gilad

Who hasn’t wondered what sand tastes like? Actually, scrap that -- anyone who has been to the beach, or near the beach or in a car after other people have been to the beach know the answer. Ally Maki, who plays Jess on Wrecked, got it right…

3. What will you make as your Wilson?

– Matthew

Finding a Wilson means one thing: discovering something spherical that could potentially be made into a face. Not that hard really…

4. You need me to send you some house music while you’re stranded? 

– @ellafay (Marina’s sister)

Family’s the greatest, right? When you’re stranded on an island, they think of the easiest way they can help. Staging a rescue? Nah. Too much work. Let’s send her some Crystal Waters

6. What’s your plan for fresh water?

– Brian

Ahh, some practicality! Brian, you’re the kinda guy we’d want on our island. Thankfully, Marina has a little help from Wrecked cast member Zach Creggor.

7. What did the Wrecked cast teach you about being Wrecked?

Not exactly what you would expect…
