Bridgette
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_bridgette.jpg)
"I'm a vegetarian; it's against my principles!"
Voiced by: Kristin Fairlie
Bridgette grew up in a small west coast town and it shows. She was surfing before she walks, the other surfers can't help but check her out. She may be pretty as a daisy, but Bridgette's only coordinated on the waves. On land, she's kind of klutzy. She's been responsible for more than a few wipeouts on her surf team (and they were all on land!) Luckily she's also got a healing touch.
Bridgette's strongest attributes are her sense of humour and her creativity. She's a pretty laid back, go-with-the-flow kind of girl, who's best friend is her mom. They both love flowers, crystals and everything else that is part of Mother Earth's beautiful bounty.
Bridgette's mom is proud of her daughter because not only is Bridgette a giving person, but she's on the honour roll at school.
Bridgette signed up for Total Drama Island because she always tries to open herself up to new experiences. She's already kite surfed off the coast of Peru, helped build house in a third world country and spent a summer making rugs in a Monastery in Nepal.
Bridgette's goal in life is to keep the vibe flowing in a goodly way. That's why she volunteers at the local animal sanctuary. Everyone there loves her, and truly believes that Bridgette not only understand animals, but can communicate with them. She's known as the 'budgie whisperer'.
Bridgette hopes her time on Total Drama Island will spread the message of cosmic love and body surfing to a larger audience.
- Beta Couple - With Geoff.
- Break the Cutie: In "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better", she gets her tongue frozen on a pole, no thanks to Alejandro, is forced to sing while her tongue is frozen, and gets eliminated because of it.
- Clingy Jealous Girl - In the special.
- The Cutie
- Cute Clumsy Girl
- Dojikko - Only on land.
- Double Standard - First she's a Clingy Jealous Girl, but she has to actively try to stay faithful after Alejandro walks in.
- Flanderization - During Island, we see her and Geoff making out together. In the season finale, they keep making out as a Running Gag. During the first few episodes of Action, they no longer have personalities and are immediately eliminated by everyone else because they spend all their time making out instead of actually participating in the show. Fortunately, season three reverts her to her season one personality.
- Friend to All Living Things
- Genki Girl
- Granola Girl
- Green Eyes
- Girl Next Door
- Hair of Gold
- Hartman Hips
- The Heart - On the Killer Bass.
- Hey, It's That Voice! - She was Little Bear.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness - She may not be perfect but compared to everyone else on the show, YES.
- She's the only one still on good terms with Courtney while everyone else pretty much hates her, made a few support Heather because no one wanted to, and felt bad for Blaineley even after what she did to her... She's closer to sainthood than one thinks.
- Informed Ability - Believe it or not, she was never actually SHOWN surfing prior to World Tour. She did bring a surfboard to Camp Wawanakwa, of course, but she never got to use it.
- Make-Out Kids - With Geoff, a lot, although it's toned down in World Tour.
- Morality Pet - Courtney's. She is her only real friend in ALL three seasons and Courtney is always nice with her, even in Action .
- Ms. Fanservice
- Overly Long Tongue - When she got stuck to that pole in the Yukon.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Blaineley's Red.
- Satellite Character - Her main role in Island was to be a female friend for Courtney (and to a lesser extent, Gwen and Leshawna once Courtney was gone). Afterwards, she was defined by her relationship with Geoff.
- Shallow Love Interest - See above. Though arguably, he counts as one for her too; the writers can't seem to think of much to do with either of them that's not romance-related.
- Sitting Sexy on a Piano - During "I'm Sorry".
- Supreme Chef - In Who Can You Trust?, she was able to prepare fugu blowfish sushi and give it to Geoff without lethally poisoning him. Not bad.
- Surfer Dudette - Although her attitude is more like a hippie.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl - Tomboy to Courtney's Girly Girl.
- Tongue on the Flagpole - Thanks to Alejandro.
- True-Blue Femininity - She always wears a light blue hoodie.
- What Could Have Been - Her original design looks a little like Courtney, who wasn't originally in Camp TV, suggesting that they may have been the same character at one point.
- Your Cheating Heart - And unlike Gwen, it's only taken as a moderately big deal.
Courtney
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_courtney.jpg)
"I'm the only one with CIT camping experience here!"
Voiced by: Unknown voice actress ("Not So Happy Campers"), Emilie Claire Barlow (all other episodes)
Courtney is very excited to be a part of Total Drama Island. She thinks it's the perfect stepping-stone on her part to greatness. She's huge fan of competition. She's already a published author, having written the award-winning self-help series, Total Triumph for Teens.
Courtney has a respect for anyone in authority; parents, teachers, the local Crossing Guard. In turn, they all think she's a very sweet girl. She puts on a good face, after all.
Courtney also prides herself on politeness and courtesy, because you never know who you'll meet on the way up the ladder of success, and Courtney plans to reach the top! While she feels strongly that we need rules in society for it to run smoothly, she also believes that sometimes you have to break the rules in order to get things done (or win).
This theory is most evident in Courtney's bedroom which is covered in trophies, ribbons and plaques. She's never lost anything in her life. Her motto is: "If you can't come in first, don't come at all." This is why she auditioned for Total Drama Island. Courtney feels that the island is a like a smaller version of the real world. If she can win there, then it proves she can in life, which she already has, so she'll definitely win there - but still, she'd like the $100,000 to prove it.
When asked if she looks forward to meeting new friends as part of the experience, Courtney says that she's already got enough friends. (The producers were unable to confirm the existence of her friends at the time of this publication.)
- Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male - Among other incidents, she has hit Duncan in the kiwis with a guitar.
- Action Girl - From Action on.
- Aesop Amnesia - About how bad an idea it was to try and change Duncan to make him "perfect".
- All Girls Want(ed) Bad Boys
- Alpha Bitch: Within the Killer Bass and Killer Grips. She becomes the overall Alpha Bitch in Action after Heather's elimination. On Team Amazon, however, she clashes with Heather for the position.
- Ambition Is Evil
- Anti-Hero - Type III in Island and the first half of World Tour, Type IV more or less in the second half of World Tour.
- Anti-Villain - Type II in the second half of World Tour as well.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking - (making a list) "Pummel Duncan...pummel Gwen...wash socks."
- Attention Whore: Whenever she mentions that she was a CIT[1], it's practically a cry for attention.
- Ax Crazy - Reverts to this mode when one of her many Berserk Buttons is pressed. In World Tour, Heather says that Izzy has been replaced by Courtney.
- Badass Adorable - YMMV on the "adorable" part.
- Batman Gambit - To Justin.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At the start of the series, she acts nice towards everyone; however, as the series progresses, she shows her true colors, especially in "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island".
- Brainy Brunette
- Break the Haughty - Repeatedly, usually having something to do with Duncan.
- Butt Monkey - Rivals Heather.
- Catch Phrase - "I was a CIT, you know." (or some variation)
- Character Development - She's actually quite nice during the first half of World Tour (at the very least, she was more tolerant of failure).
- The Cheerleader - Not explicitly mentioned in-show, but she certainly knew how to deliver a good cheer in "Top Dog" ("F-I-S-H-Y! You ain't got no alibi! You fishy, uh-huh!")..
- Clingy Jealous Girl - First to Duncan, then to Alejandro.
- Companion Cube - Her PDA in season two.
- Death by Irony - Eliminated by Duncan twice, the first time karmic, the second time not so much.
- Derailing Love Interests - Her role in TDA and in TDWT.
- Determinator
- Disproportionate Retribution - YMMV but arguably her treatment of Gwen in season three. See Selective Enforcement below.
- Drama Queen: She behaves this way from the second half of Action on, especially when she breaks up with Duncan for the last time in "The EX-Files".
- Easily Forgiven - Duncan accepts her behavior in Action. He averts this in World Tour.
- Enemy Mine - Heather and Sierra side with her in "Greece's Pieces" to get rid of Gwen. When Courtney starts throwing more and more challenges, however, Heather goes behind her back and teams up with Gwen instead.
- Et Tu, Brute? - She was practically invincible, and then came Duncan.
- First Girl Wins - Completely, utterly, brutally averted.
- Flanderization - In Action.
- Friend Versus Lover - Her vendetta against Gwen.
- Frivolous Lawsuit - She had to sue the show twice to get back into Action, but gave herself unfair advantages such as better treatment and immunity from the vote on her first episode back. From that point on, she threatened to call her lawyers any time something didn't go her way.
- Good Counterpart - Was one to Heather for most of Island. And then she was derailed into an Expy.
- Graceful Ladies Like Purple - Her princess dress in "The Princess Pride".
- Good Is Boring - Duncan makes Courtney realize this in "Basic Straining."
- Hartman Hips
- Hoist By Her Own Petard - In all three seasons, Duncan always brought her down.
- Humiliation Conga - Toward the end of her run on Action and even into the finale, though she gets some consolation through sharing the winnings with Duncan in the end. In the alternate ending, her humiliation is more thorough. Then the third season REALLY did it to her.
- If I Can't Have You - Believe it or not, this is actually averted. Rather than trying to force Duncan to stay with her after he makes out with Gwen, she completely denounces both him and Gwen and from then on out is simply out to get them both.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex
- Insane Troll Logic - Sometimes, when her strategies are failing. She calls Lindsay selfish for voting herself off since it left Courtney with only one other girl to try and ally with... but Lindsay wouldn't have been eliminated if Courtney hadn't voted for her too. Also pops up in World Tour when she argues about leading Team Amazon:
Courtney: I happen to like winning and being in first class, which happens to make me an ideal leader.
- Irony - In Action, Justin falls for Courtney but she was only using him while Duncan was jealous. But in World Tour with Justin's eviler counterpart Alejandro, it's the other way around, and this time Duncan was pretending to be jealous. He was really working with Alejandro to get rid of Courtney.
- It's All About Me - Especially noticeable in I See London, where Duncan comes back and all she can think about is how he "abandoned her".
- Kick the Son of a Bitch - Arguably Gwen and Duncan, especially the former since with Duncan it was more two-sided.
- Knight Templar
- Lack of Empathy: She showed no remorse towards Cody when Alejandro threw Cody into the sharks .
- The Lancer - On Team Amazon.
- Large Ham
- Laser-Guided Karma
- Love Hurts - Duncan always has something to do with her downfall.
- Love Martyr - To Alejandro. Even after he admitted he was just using her, she still supports him.
- Madness Mantra - "Gothie's going down, Gothie's going down, Gothie is going down..."
- Eliminate The Hypotenuse - Successfully does this to Gwen, and later tries to do the same to Heather, over Alejandro.
- Never My Fault - Lampshaded when she confessed she messed up.... then demanded for the tape to erase the footage.
- Not So Above It All - A running gag.
- Not So Different: Compared to Heather. While Heather is mean from the start, and Courtney tries to act more friendly early-on, both take (or at least, attempt to take) the leadership role within their respective teams, especially so when they are on the same team in World Tour. Also, both are despised by almost all of their fellow castmates for their antagonistic and selfish ways.
- Opposites Attract Revenge
- The Other Darrin - According to Emilie-Claire Barlow, she was voiced by a different, unknown actress for Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 and Not So Happy Campers - Part 2.
- Pay Evil Unto Cheaters
- Pimped-Out Dress: Her princess gown in "The Princess Pride" and her wedding gown in "Niagara Brawls".
- Plucky Girl
- Pride
- Properly Paranoid - In "Greece's Pieces".
- Protagonist-Centered Morality - Her entire moral outlook in regard to herself.
- Punny Name - Her lawsuits against the show drive a fair amount of action in the second season.
- Pyrrhic Villainy - After she succeeds in having Gwen voted off, she becomes more of a Butt Monkey and loses everything after that. This clip says it all.
- Revenge Before Reason - Intentionally tries to lose challenges just to get Gwen eliminated.
- Selective Enforcement - In World Tour, after the cheating incident, she seems to give the majority of the punishment to Gwen instead of Duncan. Although that might just be because Gwen was on her team at the time and thus easier to get. After the merge, she was willing to punish Duncan too.
- He is Not My Boyfriend - World Tour averts this however.
- Ship Sinking - DxC in World Tour.
- Sitcom Arch Nemesis - Lindsay in TDA. Courtney is easily annoyed by just about everyone else on the show but Lindsay (who is essentially her total opposite: stupid, easy going and well liked) is the one that irks her the most.
- Sixth Ranger - For the Killer Grips.
- Small Name, Big Ego
- Soapbox Sadie
- Spicy Latina: According to Word of God.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She becomes one in Action after she re-enters the competition under questionable means. She becomes more notorious as a Spotlight Stealer when she and Gwen get involved in a Love Triangle with Duncan.
- Stepford Smiler - Tries to be one in episode 15 of season three. It doesn't work.
"Well, at least I still have my...pride." (starts crying intensely)
- This Is Unforgivable! - Reacts this way when Duncan and Gwen kissed.
- Team Mom - To the point of being obnoxious.
- The Complainer Is Always Wrong - When she came back, she was frustrated and harsh with her teammates because she really wanted to put an effort in winning while her team normally doesn't try. Resulting with her teammates trying to vote her off for being too bossy.
- The Hunter Becomes the Hunted - Failed by Gwen, but successfully by Duncan.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl - Girly Girl to Bridgette's Tomboy.
- Took a Level in Jerkass - She wasn't all that nice to start with, but not all that mean either. Then in Action, all her standards go out the window.
- Traumatic Haircut - Averted, as Heather only managed to cut a small chunk of her hair, without her noticing.
- Tsundere - Type B in Island, Type A in Action.
- Vocal Evolution - After Island, her voice became a bit higher-pitched and more childish-sounding.
- Well, Excuse Me, Princess! - To Duncan.
- What Happened to the Mouse? - Her PDA. In Action, she is constantly with it, but in World Tour it is never seen nor mentioned.
- In a bonus clip from Action after she's eliminated, it shows that she threw it out the window in a fit of rage when her lawyers messaged her about them taking a vacation, thus being unable to back up her contract against Duncan.
- Why Did It Have To Be Green Jelly?
- Woman Scorned - And how!
- Yandere - She dropped the tsundere act and became more like this third season.
DJ
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_dj.jpg)
"Momma! I'm here! Momma! It's me, Momma! It's Poopydoo! Your little Devon Joseph Poopydoo!"
Voiced by: Clé Bennett
DJ moved from Jamaica when he was only four years old, but still has a lot of the island left in him. The most prominent is his chill islanditude. He may be huge, but he's not out to hurt anybody. Just as long you don't say anything about his Momma - in which case he'll lose his gentleness real quick.
The only thing this Jamaican-born Canadian loves as much as his Momma is a spicy roti and getting his dance on. DJ loooves to groove. He may be a big boy, but this homey rolls likes Captain Sensitivo. His football coach wishes he had more of the Eye of the Tiger since his inner softie can really get in the way of pounding the competition into the dust, but that's not DJ's style.
He prefers to chill and be chilled. DJ never had plans to be on TV either, but when the producers of Total Drama Island spotted him pushing a row of 80 shopping carts across the parking lot at his part time grocery job they HAD to have this young giant on their show.
Now that he's onboard, DJ wants to win the prize money so that he can fulfill his Momma's wish and move back home to Jamaica. DJ is a good son. He's also a good friend and the kind of guy you want on your team.
- Animals Hate Him - Even though he loves them. Isn't it ironic?
- Badass Beard
- Beware the Nice Ones - Tosses Owen off of a cliff for hunting him throughout the paint ball challenge.
- Big Guy
- Black Best Friend - Is this to Geoff, giving pointers on talking to Bridgette.
- Butt Monkey - In World Tour, he becomes the series' biggest example next to Ezekiel.
- Can't Get Away with Nuthin' - His victory thanks to Chef's help causes him to see visions of his mother disgusted with him cheating, leading him to eliminate himself.
- Celibate Hero - Shows the least amount of interest in forming a relationship of any male contestant. With the exception of Irene in "Newf Kids On The Rock." Oh, did we mention that Irene is a fish?
- Cowardly Lion - In the first season. Although he was easily scared, when the chips were down, he'd man up. Unfortunately, this trait disappears in Action and World Tour.
- Death Seeker - As of "Can't Help Falling in Louvre," he starts actively trying to lose TDWT so he can "stop his campaign of animal pain". Even in the runway challenge, he tried to screw up as badly as possible so he could get booted off - and he STILL ended up winning.
- Flanderization - Went from simply being a Sensitive Guy to being a Fragile Flower and a Momma's Boy to the extreme. Anybody remember back in TDI, when he could go a whole episode without crying?
- Fragile Flower
- Friend to All Living Things - The guy loves animals but as of TDWT, he can't be near one for more than a few minutes without it getting maimed or beaten. To his unending horror.
- Gentle Giant
- Groin Attack - In Who Can You Trust? (In case you want to know, it was from a crab apple flung by a slingshot. Ow.)
- The Hero - Of Team Victory.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness - As with Bridgette, partly relative to everyone else on the show. All the way back in Island, even Heather didn't seem to dislike him that much.
- Lethal Chef - Averted and played straight. During TDA, everybody loves his food and he is capable of transforming Chef's scrubbed mass of things in something edible, but in the TDA special, he starred in a cooking show with his mother, which was so unhealthy it killed multiple people. This is played humorously and is never mentioned again in another episode.
- The Load - Occasionally plays this role.
- Lovable Coward
- Momma's Boy
- My Beloved Smother
- My God, What Have I Done? - A running gag in World Tour is DJ feeling guilt after unintentionally harming animals.
- Nice Guy
- Nice Hat
- Out-of-Character Moment - The episode of Island when he was picking on Harold with Geoff and Duncan. Seamlessly removed in the following episode.
- Pixellation - When his swimsuit was eaten by a shark during a surfing challenge in Action.
- Real Men Wear Pink - His ribbon twirling tights.
- Screams Like a Little Girl
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Duncan and Geoff's Manly Men
- Shoot the Shaggy Dog - His entire character arc in World Tour.
- Sole Survivor - Was the final member of Team Victory, becoming the first "Team of One" in the series.
- Supreme Chef - Master of making Impossibly Delicious Food, with the help of Mama's Spice.
- Talking to Himself - When talking to Chef Hatchet or his mama.
- Vocal Dissonance - His voice is surprisingly squeaky considering how old he looks and how tall/muscular he is.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? - Literally snakes, but also a few other things including water and heights.
- Younger Than They Look - His original Camp TV design made him look even older.
Duncan
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_duncan.jpg)
"Live and learn, sweetheart."
Gwen: "You really are a pyro, aren't you?"
Voiced by: Drew Nelson
Duncan comes from a long line of cops. His dad is a cop. His mom is a cop. His uncle, aunt, grandma and cousins are cops. Like them, Duncan spends lots of time in police stations. The trouble is, Duncan feels more comfortable on the "opposite side of the law", so his police station visits usually include a jail cell and a parole officer.
Duncan's been getting into trouble since he could get his hands on anything that wasn't his. He bounced from school to school, racking up suspensions and expulsions -- and this was all pre-kindergarten! Yeah, Duncan is one tough customer.
He also has street smarts and isn't afraid to use them. While the principals don't share his philosophy that breaking into the school's office in the middle of the night to doctor your report card is an innovative way to improve your grade-point-average, Duncan feels it illustrated entrepreneurial skills.
Despite his cocky nature, social workers who have counselled Duncan will tell you that under all that bravado lies a misguided youth with a big, gooey heart.
When Duncan isn't incarcerated or at a Parole Officer's appointment he looks for ways to curb his boredom - like signing up for Total Drama Island. Duncan figured it couldn't be much worse than 'the yard' at The Detention Centre, and who knows, it could be fun to mess with some heads. It's not like he's doing anything else this summer.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: "Then again, danger is kinda hot." - Courtney and the fans agree. And so does Gwen.
- Anti-Hero: Type V. He enjoys being bad just for the sake of it, but is never an outright villain, unless he's an....
- Anti-Villain: Type I
- Badass: He has his moments at times.
- Big Ol' Unibrow
- Big Word Shout: "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!"
- Blue Eyes
- Butt Monkey: To the extreme. See The Chew Toy below.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Tries to invoke this.
- Catch Phrase: "Later losers."
- The Chew Toy: Has been injured countless times where most, if not all of the injuries, are Played for Laughs.
- Collared by Fashion
- Dark Is Evil / Dark Is Not Evil: It depends on his mood.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Delinquent: Fresh out of Juvie.
- Delinquent Hair: Provides the current page image.
- Dragon with an Agenda: He works with Alejandro starting from Picnic at Hanging Dork, but doesn't trust him.
- Enemy Mine
- Enfante Terrible: His bio mentions him racking up suspensions and expulsions...pre-kindergarten.
- Expy: Of Richard Hatch and Jonny Fairplay from Survivor. He's an asshole strategist just like those two men.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Calls out Heather when she abandons Lindsay. He also didn't like it when Alejandro knocked Cody into the shark-infested water in the last episode.
- Evil Counterpart: To Gwen.
- For the Evulz: Mainly does bad things for fun.
- Genre Savvy: In-universe in Action, especially when the movie genre is a sort of horror or monster movie.
- Good Hair, Evil Hair: His soul patch fits with his Anti-Hero role.
- Goth: Well, his voice actor considers him this...and compares him to Gwen.
- Graceful Loser: He takes being Out-Gambitted by Alejandro and Heather in TDWT surprisingly well.
- Groin Attack: He gets them, a lot, mostly from Courtney.
- Grumpy Bear
- Guile Hero: Duncan is not above cheating to win, but being a silent manipulator isn't his forte.
- Handsome Lech: Winking at the girls in Brunch of Disgustingness, plus the pet names sweetheart, honey, darling, etc...
- The Hero: When part of the Killer Bass and Screaming Gaffers.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: He's also Matt from Death Note.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: He doesn't hide it to Gwen though.
- Humiliation Conga: His epic pre-elimination beatdown by Ezekiel in World Tour, courtesy of Alejandro and Heather.
- Jerkass: At his worst, he can be this, most notably toward Harold always and Courtney in TDWT.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mostly in "Island", dropped in Action. Then reserved only for Gwen in World Tour.
- Just Friends: With Gwen in Action
- Karma Houdini: Seeing how getting injured is taking lightly in this show, overall, Duncan gets away with his dirty deeds. In fact he's arguably the single luckiest character in the series - not only is he successful romantically in both Island and World Tour he is the only one of two winners to hang onto his money.
- Kick the Dog
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: Arguably Courtney and Cody in World Tour.
- Kick the Morality Pet: When throwing the dingo at Cody to make Team Amazon lose, he never realized that Gwen would possibly be voted off instead of Courtney, until it was too late. Heather took advantage of his guilt which led to his downfall.
- Knife Nut: He even sleeps with one... no, not in that way.
- Knight of Cerebus: He's not technically a villain, but anyway note how the World Tour gets less funny and more dramatic once he returns.
- Large Ham: At times. "It's a psycho with a CHAINSAW AND A HOOOOOKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- Last Guy Wins - To Gwen. Sierra points out he always had feelings for her.
- Lean and Mean
- Loners Are Freaks
- ManScorned: Courtney, half-heartedly when he voted her off in Action. Then played completely straight in the last few episodes with her in World Tour.
- Manipulative Bastard: Not to the same level as Alejandro or Heather, but he has his moments.
- Moral Myopia: In season one he calls out Trent when he appears to be cheating on Gwen with Heather and votes him off. Yet, in season three, he has no problem kissing Gwen behind Courtney's back and is remorseless when Courtney finds out.
- Mr. Fanservice
- Multicolored Hair
- The Napoleon: One of the shortest contestants in the series, but has a fierce Hair-Trigger Temper and is NOT someone you want to provoke!
- Never My Fault: To Courtney at least, that's for sure.
- The Nicknamer: He seems to like giving his Love Interests affectionately teasing nicknames: Courtney was "Princess," while Gwen is "Pasty."
- Noble Demon: Fits this to a capital T.
- Opposites Attract -> Birds of a Feather
- Out-Gambitted: He continues to act chummy with Alejandro even after being warned by Owen, thinking he can stand his ground with him. He does manage to last quite a few episodes, but is finally brought down in African Lying Safari.
- Perpetual Frowner
- Pet the Dog: Finding a new bunny for DJ in Who Can You Trust? and any time he's being nice to Gwen.
- Psycho for Hire
- Pyromaniac: An Informed Ability.
- Rage Quit: At the beginning of World Tour.
- Rebellious Spirit
- Relationship Upgrade: With Gwen.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the first episode of World Tour.
- He's Back: Only to return in "I See London...".
- Second Love: To Gwen.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Geoff and DJ's Sensitive Guys.
- Ship Tease: With Heather. In Action they actually kiss... and they both hate it. In TDWT Heather hilariously tries to "flirt" with him (trying to persuade him to cuddle her and then literally trying to force him to do so when he refused) when he is in a canon relationship with Gwen as part of an Operation: Jealousy against Alejandro.
- Ship Sinking: DuncanxCourtney. Even in the episodes after Gwen is gone, he and Courtney continue to show nothing but hate for each other, even in the challenge where they are married. As for Gwen, Duncan is shown to miss and feel guilty about her. And then there is this. This all could be seen as an outright Take That against Duncney fans.
- Duncan's voice actor actually said in an interview that he prefers DxG.
- Sixth Ranger: On Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.
- Slasher Smile
- Spikes of Villainy: His collar.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: He is one of the most focused-on contestants in the series. In fact, he receives two full seasons worth of development and has the highest episode count of any male contestant. He only goes Out of Focus during the first half of World Tour.
- Sympathetic Adulterer.
- Token Evil Teammate
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In Action and World Tour he went from a Jerk with a Heart of Gold to a straight up Jerkass. He does remain nice to Gwen... and only Gwen.
- Top-Heavy Guy: His legs are less than a third of a his total height. Even though he's actually rather short, his elongated torso means he towers over most of the other characters when they're all sitting.
- Troubled but Cute
- Tsundere: Notably in the third season, when you think about it, he is dere-dere to Gwen while Tsun-Tsun to everyone else.
- Why Did It Have To Be Celine Dion Music Store Standees?
- The Worf Effect: When the show needs to either show how Badass someone is (Courtney) or how someone has Took a Level in Badass (Harold, Cody) the first stop seems to be beating up Duncan.
- Would Hit a Girl: He throws a shoe at Courtney in this clip from Hawaiian Style.
- Your Cheating Heart: Kissing Gwen while still officially with Courtney in I See London.
- You Gotta Have Green Hair: His mohawk.
Eva
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_eva.jpg)
"Unless they all want to leave in body bags, they better not say my name!"
Voiced by: Julia Chantrey
Eva moved from a small village in Eastern Europe when she was only seven years old. The local kids were eager to pick on 'the new girl', but never stood a chance.
Eva has been kickboxing since she was three. She holds the world record for Highest Jumping Roundhouse Kick By A Five-Year Old. She's also done stunts for a few action films including Undercover Youngster and Wolverine Teen. Although her stunt work keeps her busy, Eva's parents make sure that she still has time for school.
She works at everything she does, but admits that her temper sometimes gets in the way. She has no time for phonies, poseurs, fakes, cheaters, or liars! If she spots one, you can bet she's gonna set them straight.
Her gym teacher recalls one time when Eva, his All Star Player of the Field Hockey Team, caught the other team cheating during the playoffs. Until then, he'd never seen a person crush a puck with their bare hands and eat the goalie net. It's too bad because he thinks that Eva would make a good leader if only she could control that temper. Which is ironic since Eva's goal is to be a leader one day.
Her heroes are Cleopatra, Katherine the Great and the black-footed mongoose. Eva joined Total Drama Island because she thinks it's the perfect opportunity to showcase her leadership skills and curb her temper - and if anyone doesn't think so, then maybe they'd like to step outside so she can rearrange their thinking for them!!
- Action Girl
- The Artifact - Eva's main shtick is her incredibly volatile temper and super strength and since Courtney ends up with both these traits, Eva is left a bit superfluous which may be why she has spent two seasons straight outside the competition. The debut of Jo isn't exactly helping her case either...
- Ax Crazy - Yup.
- Back for the Dead - She was returned to the competition halfway through Island, but only lasted the one episode before being eliminated again.

Not only is she voted out on the same day when returned to the island, Chris rubs salt in the wound by revealing most of the campers confessionals on who exactly voted for her. After hearing some of the campers call her a ragaholic, crazy, scary and Ava she's forced off the island in a straightjacket with no other action than just to lob empty threats at the campers.

Ezekiel
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_ezekiel.jpg)
"Well, guys are much stronger and better at sports than girls are, eh."
Chris:"...the home schooled misogynistic country boy, Ezekiel!"
Voiced by: Peter Oldring
Ezekiel is really really REALLY excited to be on Total Drama Island. He doesn't usually get a chance to hang out with real, live kids. (He's used to the 3D ones he sees on TV). That's because his parents (both Home Ec. teachers) think that it's best for their child to "only be exposed to the finest sorts of people, and receive the highest standard of education." That's why Ezekiel is home-schooled.
The only reason Ezekiel's parents signed him up for Total Drama Island is because their family doctor was concerned about his Vitamin-D deficiency, so they were instructed to get him out of the house and into fresh air. Now he has to learn to be around other kids for the first time in his life. He's looking forward to this experiment (an experiment with a socially useless guinea pig).
The last time Ezekiel was in public was when he competed in the National Spelling Bee Challenge. He asked the 3rd place girl if she weighed "enough" and told the 2nd place guy that he'd be pretty good looking if he wasn't so dirty. Both runners up swore at him in different languages. Ezekiel knows because he speaks 8 languages himself. The only one he hasn't mastered is 'teenspeak', which explains why his boasting to the runners-up that they were just jealous because he won the spelling bee and 'licked their butts', got Ezekiel the biggest 'butt kicking' of his life.
While Ezekiel may excel at every subject in home-schooling, only time will tell if he can handle the curriculum at Total Drama Island's 'School of Hard Knocks'.
- Acquired Situational Narcissism - Being the first character to be voted off leads him to think that he's become famous and lives the good life.
- Attention Whore: Justified, given that he was a sheltered, home-schooled kid.
- But You Screw One Goat! - In the Celebrity Manhunt special.
- Butt Monkey - Good Lord is he ever.
- Iron Butt Monkey - His injuries in World Tour would be fatal to any real person, without exception and with absolutely no chance of survival.
- By the Lights of Their Eyes / Red Eyes, Take Warning - in the World Tour episode "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time In Japan."
- Canada, Eh?
- The Chew Toy - He really isn't taken as a seriously competitor.
- Compressed Vice - While it might count as Character Development given what happens to him, the fact that he makes sexist comments at the beginning of TDI but never afterward could count as this.
- Determinator - Even after his early elimination in World Tour, he's dead set on winning. He manages to stay with the plane despite repeated attempts to eject him, survives in the hold for the entire season, and eventually makes it to the finale location even without the plane.
- Does Not Like Shoes - After "Niagra Brawls." Ironically before that he never took them off, even while swimming.
- Eleventh/Sixth Ranger - On the Killer Bass and Team Victory, respectively.
- Flat Character - He got booted off before his character had a chance to develop.
- Geek
- Gray Eyes
- Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

- Small Name, Big Ego
- Spell My Name with a "The" - In World Tour he starts referring to himself as "The Zeke".
- Straw Misogynist - At the beginning of Island, earning his elimination.
- Take That - The way he's portrayed in some fanfics is how his fans kept harassing the writers on the show. Their response... well, look at his role in TDWT. The opinion of the writers towards his surprising fandom fame while not having done much on the show might be best summed with his segment on the Celebrity Manhunt Special.
Cameraman: (while "Zeke" is making a fool of himself for popularity's sake) It don't matter how much bling you sling, brother. You gotta earn ghetto cred."
- Talking to Himself - With Tyler and Cody.
- Tan Lines
- The Unintelligible - As Zombie Ezekiel

Geoff
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_geoff.jpg)
"OK, guys, let's just chill out. This is getting way too heavy."
Voiced by: Dan Petronijevic
Geoff grew up in a party town on the west coast. Spring break, long weekends, summertime - people came from all around to party in his town. Because of that, Geoff learned at a young age how to really party. REALLY.
He's the oldest of 5 brothers, so he feels it's his duty to show them how to party the right way. Thanks to his bohemian parents (who met, married and conceived Geoff on a beach) Geoff has chillaxin', partyhearty DNA in his blood.
At school, he's everybody's buddy. He's the star quarterback on his high school football team and after they won last season's playoffs, the locker room had to be rebuilt from the ground up after a three-day party-fest.
Geoff's goal is to take a bite out of life and chew it until there's nothing left but seeds that he can scatter into the wind to start the whole party cycle of life all over again. His eventual plan is to be a party organizer. He thinks that would be the most AWESOME job ever. He can't even imagine how much fun that would be - and he would totally ROCK at it, too. He just wants everybody to get along and chill out.
Although, he usually hangs with the cool crowd, he's no snob. Geoff will befriend anybody who's interested in partying. he likes everybody for whatever it is that they can bring to the table (or party).
Geoff enjoys spending time at the beach, camping, or anywhere else a party could be had. That's why Geoff auditioned for Total Drama Island, because it basically includes all his favourite things... people, camping and parties.
- Becoming the Mask - Starts to become like this when he is given the chance to act mean as the Aftermath host.
- Berserk Button - Don't mess with Bridgette, you'll regret it.
- Beta Couple - Him and Bridgette, compared to everyone else in the series.
- Blue Eyes
- Cool and Unusual Punishment - As the host of TDA Aftermath.
- Flanderization - Into Bridgette's hypersexual lover in Action, fortunately, he returns to his original personality during season three.
- Gratuitous Spanish - "Muchos luchos, compadres!"
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Hoist by His Own Petard - Bridgette gives him a taste of his own medicine in the third TDA Aftermath.
- Jerkass Facade - Apparently as of the 3rd Aftermath.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch - To Blaineley during Aftermath Aftermayhem.
- The Lancer - On the Killer Bass.
- Make-Out Kids - With Bridgette, a lot.
- Minor Injury Overreaction - In Up the Creek, he gets a really tiny splinter in his ankle and everyone else (including him) treats it as if his leg had been bitten off by a shark.
- Nice Guy: Most of the time.
- Nice Hat
- Papa Wolf - Towards Bridgette.
- The Pollyanna
- Real Men Wear Pink - His shirt.

- Totally Radical
- Walking Shirtless Scene - He has a shirt, he just never buttons it.
Harold
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_harold.jpg)
"Time to unleash my wicked skills!"
Voiced by: Brian Froud
Told that he'd never walk again due to a bad allergic reaction to Gummi-Slugs, Harold's a survivor (He has no problem with other Gummi products).
He has earned the most badges of any kid at Possum Scouts. That includes one for fire building and troll wrestling (okay, he made that one up).
He has an older brother and a kid sister and both of them think he's kind of weird. He's okay with that. He thinks being weird is a badge of honor - actually he embroidered his own badge for "weirdness".
At least he's not some lemming like everybody else. His classmates call him dorky, but he's confident that won't be the case on Total Drama Island. Hidden in that bike rack he calls a body, he's got some unexpected wicked skills that will come in very handy in the woods. His love of medieval fantasy literature and intense scout training makes him the guy to have on your team.
Harold believes in yourself - no matter what people say about you, or what they're throwing at you, you've got to stay strong. His big brother calls him an over-exaggerating melodramatic fret-bucket - but that's HIS opinion. Although there was that one time he stubbed his toe and waited in the ER for 13 hours until a doctor finally told him that he wouldn't have amputate.
Since he's pure of heart and strong of will, this noble warrior will go far (he has to, because he's already embroidered a badge that says so).
- Alliteration - "No! There's birds in my belfry!...Dang. They busted my buttresses."
- Aborted Arc - At the end of TDI and the first few episodes of TDA, he was developing a one-sided friendship with and attraction to Heather. This was dropped by the time Courtney returned mid-season.
- Adorkable - Just listen to his song in the first Aftermath for World Tour!
- All of the Other Reindeer - In TDI, first time the Killer Bass won a challenge, it was due to him. In the very next episode, they nix him being in the talent show without even letting him audition...and yet, when they have no choice but to put him on, he wins again. Basically, if there's ever an episode where everybody disparages him as "worthless" or puts him down more than usual, there's a good chance the writers are setting up for him to prove them wrong. Again.
- Arch Enemy - To Duncan
- Berserk Button - Don't toy with his feelings for Leshawna, especially if you're Duncan.
- Butt Monkey
- Captain Superhero - In Super Hero-Id, he names himself Captain Alberta for the superhero challenge.
- Catch Phrase - "Gosh!", "Idiots!"
- Chekhov's Skill - All the time in-universe, he wins challenges with skills he picked up at "(adjective) Steve's (skill) Camp".

- Geek
- Green Eyes
- Groin Attack
- He Knows Too Much - Knowing that Owen was Chris' spy earned a critical extra vote against him in Action.
- Honor Before Reason - His self-elimination in World Tour.
- Hidden Depths - Pretty much his entire character is that he has some hidden skill or knowledge that can either help them in a challenge or annoy everyone.
- Killer Yoyo - His num-yos
- Nerd Glasses
- Nerds Are Sexy - He does have his fangirls (though not as many as Cody or Noah), and Leshawna and Beth seem to think so.
- Nice Guy
- Noodle People - His design gives him far thinner limbs than anyone else.
- Odd Friendship - With Heather starting in the Island special. This was something of a subplot in Action, but they left it hanging (see Ship Tease below).
- Otaku
- Overly Long Name - His full name is "Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V".
- Pixellation
- Plot Allergy - In one episode of season one, he said he was allergic to apples and couldn't participate in a challenge. Courtney and Sadie did it instead, which resulted in Sadie's elimination. Weirdly enough, he accepted some apple juice (actually kitchen grease) from Duncan in the next episode.
- Screams Like a Little Girl

- A small amount with Sadie after Katie was eliminated.

Katie
![](../../../I/m/KillerBass_katie.jpg)
"Oh my gosh, Sadie, look. It's a summer camp!"
Voiced by: Stephanie Anne Mills
Katie was raised in the small town of Twig Harbour - Sadie's bio. Actually, if you want know anything about Katie, just see Sadie's bio. They know absolutely everything about each other. And why? They're practically the same person.
Katie thinks that their experience on Total Drama Island is going to be great for them. It'll really bring them closer together as friends, although it's hard to imagine how that's humanly possible since they already do EVERYTHING together.
They even have the same summer job. Every summer they make their own ice cream and sell it at the pier. Their most popular flavor is Spumindi Lauper. (That's because Katie - just like Sadie - has a ginormous passion for all things 80's!) It was actually Sadie's idea to start their own business.
While Katie thinks with her heart, Sadie thinks with her head. Together, they complete each other. If Katie starts a sentence, Sadie is sure to finish. They love all the same things, including each other. Katie love to sew and makes all of their outfits from scratch (that's right, she sews Sadie's clothes too - duh! how else could they match?)
Katie and her best pal Sadie love stay positive and are too busy being creative to let anything bother them. And thank goodness, because if it did, their sweet little hearts couldn't take it.
- Abhorrent Admirer - To Justin, then to Trent, and later Alejandro.
- The Artifact - She and Sadie might have spent two straight seasons out of the competition because a strong friendship like theirs was easily replicated with other characters: Not So Different Lindsay and Beth in Action, and likely Owen and Noah in World Tour.
- Bare Your Midriff
- Brainless Beauty
- But Not Too White - According to Word of God here (in the infobox on the right), Katie is meant to be Caucasian. This would likely mean that she is deeply tanned.

Sadie

"I always wanted to go to a summer camp! Eeeeeeeee!"
Voiced by: Lauren Lipson
Sadie can't believe she was selected for Total Drama Island. She's never been a part of anything cool - ever!
Raised in the small town of Twig Harbour, Sadie's never done anything too exciting either. The only thing that Sadie gets totally excited about is hanging out with Katie, her best friend in the whole world (wait... make that whole wide universe!)
From the moment they as next-door neighbours, it was friend-crush at first sight and they've been inseparable ever since. Sadie's room is filled with pictures of her and Katie, and every picture has oodles of the little hearts drawn around them, because that's how much she loves her!
So when Sadie heard that Katie wanted to auditions for Total Drama Island, Sadie wanted audition with. There was no way she was going to miss out on something that her best friend (wait... make that BFF! ... no, BFF in the whole wide universe, squared!), was going to be a part of. Because if Katie got picked she'd be gone all summer and there was no way Sadie could have survived that long with her! It would be like losing a leg. (No, that's not it - you can live without a leg.) It would be like losing her heart. (Awwww... that's so cute, she loves hearts.)
So now Sadie can't wait start their adventure! That's is going to be that bestest summer ever, with her bestest friend, in the bestest universe, ever!

- Actor Allusion - This isn't the first time Lauren Lipson has voiced a bubbly teenage girl attached at the hip to her best friend(s) on a Teletoon show.

Tyler

"Oh, you're going down! We're gonna bring the dinner to the table, and then we're gonna eat it!"
Voiced by: Peter Oldring
Tyler loves sports. He considers himself a pro-level player in hockey, football, basketball, tennis, golf, cricket, handball, shuffleboard, badminton, bocce ball, horseshoes, thumb wrestling and a few more he couldn't think of off hand. Unfortunately, his many coaches have a different opinions of his skill level.
Tyler loves anything that involves throwing, catching, hitting, bouncing or a combo of all the above. His gym teacher consistently gives Tyler an E for effort, but always keeps the First Aid Kit handy. He thinks that Tyler has a lot of enthusiasm and drive, but that talent and coordination are not his strong points.
Tyler is competitive, but prides himself on his friendliness, too. When he's not throwing a ball back and forth, he can be found hanging out with many friends.
Tyler is stoked to be a part of Total Drama Island. He loves the fact that there will be a variety of wild challenges to test his skills, so he's psyched!
While he may never be a real pro, he always looks the part. Thanks to his rich and famous sportscaster Dad, (who is totally hooked up with all the major sponsors), Tyler is always outfitted in top-of-the-line logos. Tyler's Dad is proud that his boy made it onto the show and expects him to WIN, WIN, WIN! Tyler is under a lot of pressure, but isn't worried. He feels he'll do okay. If nothing else, he'll look swank in those track suits.
- Amusing Injuries - The personification of them.
- Boke and Tsukkomi Routine - Boke to Noah's Tsukkomi.
- Brown Eyes
- Buffy-Speak
- Charles Atlas Superpower - Tyler has the finger-strength to hang off a cliff with a sled and his four teammates weighing him down. Special note that one of the four was Owen.
- The Chew Toy - If Tyler is competing, expect him to be hurt the worst out of all the contestants. Heck, he couldn't even debut without getting hurt.
- Curtains Match the Window
- The Ditz
- Dojikko
- Dumb Jock: He spells jerk with a "G" and climbs an electric fence, both in "The EX-Files".

Tyler: (as Noah's putting the Venus de Milo together) Put the middle piece under the wide part, then rotate the thingy straight wise - no, no, no. Under-over.
Noah: (straining to hold up the statue's torso) Those–aren't-even–words!
- Non Sequitur Thud - "Why is the purple meatball playing the piano?"
- Otaku - Has a thing for Japanese game shows.
- Screams Like a Little Girl - Then again, it was during a scarab beetle swarm...
- Shallow Love Interest - Amusing Injuries aside, his main role in Island was to be Lindsay's love interest (and to cause a conflict between her and Heather). He gets a bit more development in World Tour.
