For the purposes of this poll, assume you have constant access to potable water and food. :)
Kerguelen seems like it would be the coldest to me.
Ile St Paul has hot springs so that would be cool...
But I think I will go with the Cretan one. Having my own Mediterranean Island cannot be passed up.
Hans Island, only the hyperbole would grow tiresome.
When did Crete become a sovereign nation, Spellusiga?

I do not acknowledge the 1913 handover. :mad:
I don't care where as long as a planeload of horny cheerleaders crash on the island as well...

Dude, you left off the best ones, the islands of the Chagos Archipelago.
Gulag Archipelago?

They're not uninhabited, are they? Isn't Diego Garcia in that group?
Other : Clipperton Island (Ile de la Passion)

Diego Garcia is there, but most of the islands are uninhabited, and it's kinda far away. It's one of the main places people sailing around the world go to to see an uninhabited tropical island.

Diego Garcia isn't the musician, it's the actor. They're easy to confuse, though.

Now if the question was, "which deserted island would you dump most languishites on?", I'd vote in the poll.

Marti would be dumped into Alabama, w/o internet access.
:huh:
Kahoolawe has a bazillion undetonated bomb thingys on it.
If you lived in a deserted island, is it still a deserted island?
BTW, voted Iwo Jima.
Eh there are 400 Jap troops stationed on Iwo so it's not deserted.

Ah, so they are using the bunkers and the airstrip we built?! Is it time to send in the Marines again?

Good spot to defend when World War Z breaks out.
Ideally, the shipwreck would take place on a deserted luxury resort on some pacific island stocked to the brim with supplies for a few years.
On the cruise ship would be the international eunuch manservant convention and out of utter happenstance, all the miss world candidates would be attending a post-competition conference.
Through utter unfortunate tragedy, none of the crew would survive the incident causing the wreck and there would be no way to contact the world until very much later.
I have a feeling that if Languishtas ended up on a deserted island (shipwrecked or otherwise), there'd be The Others in the jungle, consisting of OHGamer, Uglyduck, tomatocow, SaDiStIk and BumbleBee.

...at which point you would be found dead, the victim of unfortunate catfight collateral damage.
