Gilligan is definitely Satan, the island is hell, and the Skipper definitely is both anger and gluttony.

Her refutation of Gilligan as Satan is pretty much an argument from incredulity.

I could make the same argument about either Gilligan or Maryanne being gluttony. They are both thin

The skipper is the only fat person on the show and Gilligan gets them stranded again after finally escaping. So while it might not be intentional he is the reason they are stuck on the island.

He also wears red in every episode and its his island!
