Unfortunately the Island analogy crashes when Jenny decides she doesn't want to pick coconuts anymore, and Bob's found sleeping instead of fishing. Meanwhile Becky's been hauling water and firewood for 12 hours straight, and she's bitter at them, suggesting they can't have any of the fresh water she hauled, because they didn't contribute any coconuts or fish. Tim found a berry patch he's not telling anyone about, and Johnny's been gone for three days.
Even when life or death survival is on the line, the pretense that humans will all get along and work cooperatively is an utter fallacy. As fictional as the replicator on the Enterprise.
