My Name Is Not Durwood is no longer a trope. Examples that are badly written or don\'t fit the subtropes are getting removed.


* HumiliationConga: Already eliminated once due to letting her temper get the better of her (although Heather was partially responsible for it), Eva was brought back to the island and given a second chance. After she rages out again during the challenges, intimidating the other players and flat out threatening Bridgette, she barley loses a chance to win immunity to Leshawna. 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 [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ragaholic, crazy, scary and ]][[MyNameIsNotDurwood Ava]], she's forced off the island in a straightjacket with no other action than just to lob empty threats at the campers.

* TooPowerfulToLive : A non-lethal example. The other contestants are quick to vote her off at the first chance since they all fear her; plus, they all know Eva is the most physically powerful contestant and therefore the one that would curb-stomp any of them in a one-on-one competition if making it far in the show.

[[folder:Bridgette]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_bridgette.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Surfer Girl]]

-> ''"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.

* BreakTheCutie: 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 when her team came in last because of it.
* ClingyJealousGirl: For a brief period of time after season two ended.
* TheCutie
* CuteClumsyGirl: Only on land.
* {{Flanderization}}: During ''Island'', we see her and Geoff making out together. In the season finale, they keep making out as a RunningGag. 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.

[[folder:Courtney]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_courtney.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Over Achiever]]

->''"I'm the only one with CIT camping experience here!"''

-->''Voiced by:'' Unknown voice actress ("Not So Happy Campers"), EmilieClaireBarlow ([[TheOtherDarrin 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.)

* ActionGirl: From ''Action'' on.
* AesopAmnesia: About how bad an idea it was to try and change Duncan to make him "perfect".
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Duncan until he left her for Gwen.
* AlphaBitch: More the AcademicAlphaBitch type, 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.
* AntiHero: In ''Island'' and in the first half of ''World Tour''.
* AntiVillain: Type 2 in the second half of ''World Tour''.
* AttentionWhore: Whenever she mentions that she was a CIT[[hottip:*:Counselor In Training]], it's ''practically'' a cry for attention.
* AxCrazy: Reverts to this mode when one of her many, many, ''[[HairTriggerTemper many]]'' [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] is pressed. In ''World Tour'', Heather says that Izzy has been replaced by Courtney.
* TheBaroness: During the second half of ''Action''.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Duncan in ''Island''.
* BigBad: During the second half of ''Action''.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: 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".
* BrainyBrunette
* BreakTheHaughty: Repeatedly, usually having something to do with Duncan.
* ButtMonkey: Rivals Heather.
* CatchPhrase: "I was a CIT, you know." (or some variation)
* CheatersNeverProsper: Sort of, in "Chinese Fake-Out", when she helped Alejandro cheat, by eating all of the disgusting food that he was given in the eating challenge. Heather and Duncan, however, manages to stop this by telling Chris about this.
* ClingyJealousGirl: First to Duncan, then to Alejandro.
* CompanionCube: Her PDA in season two.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: 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.
* ControlFreak: So much that she drew up a 32-page contract for Duncan to follow in order to mold him into ''her'' idea of the perfect boyfriend. You can imagine how well that went over.
* {{The Determinator}}
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Usually does this to Duncan, especially in ''Action''. She has [[GroinAttack kicked him in the crotch]] numerous times just in order to win competitions, and sometimes just for flirting with her when she was in a bad mood.
* DramaQueen: 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".
* EasilyForgiven: Duncan accepts her behavior in ''Action''. He averts this in ''World Tour''.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Simply can't see why is hated almost as much as Alejandro and Heather and she can't fathom why Duncan left her.
* EnemyMine: Courtney and Gwen's mutual dislike for Heather makes them bond in the first half of ''World Tour''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When she was at her worst in ''Action'' there was a challenge where she had to make a shark act like her. During the challenge she implied she turned her shark into sushi, but when Chris questioned this she said she would never do anything that cruel. Instead she made him cough up his lunch
* {{Flanderization}}: Her competitive nature is greatly exaggerated in ''Action''.
* GoGetterGirl
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her princess dress in "The Princess Pride".
* HartmanHips
* HumiliationConga: Toward the end of her run on ''Action'' and even into the finale, though she gets [[ThrowTheDogABone 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.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Is willing to flirt with and even kiss Justin to make Duncan jealous, but flies into a rage when she suspects him of cheating on her with Gwen.
** Scolded and yelled at her teammates to face their fears in "Phobia Factor", but couldn't face her own fear.
* IfICantHaveYou: 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.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* InsaneTrollLogic: 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.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Especially noticeable in ''I See London,'' where Duncan comes back and all she can think about is how he "abandoned her".
* KnightTemplar
* LackOfEmpathy: She's the only contestant (other than Heather) who didn't get upset when Alejandro [[MoralEventHorizon threw Cody to the sharks]] in "Hawaiian Punch". Even before that, she displayed this trait in full when she was willing to let a shark eat one of the other contestants in exchange for getting her PDA back.
* TheLancer: On Team Amazon.
* LargeHam
* LaserGuidedKarma
* LoveMartyr: To Alejandro. Even after he admitted he was just using her, she still supports him.
* LudicrousPrecision: She apparently outlined ''three hundred and sixteen'' minor transgressions in the "how to be a perfect boyfriend" letter she drew up for Duncan to follow.
* MadnessMantra: "Gothie's going down, Gothie's going down, Gothie is going down..."
* NeverMyFault: She'd rather eat her own tongue than admit she messed something up.
* NotSoAboveItAll: A RunningGag.
* ObsessedAreTheListMakers: "Okay. Eliminating Heather is now number 1, 2, 3, and 5 of my top 5 goals. Ripping out Duncan's eyebrow ring is number 4."
* OppositesAttract: With Duncan. Deconstructed in that their personality clashes and constant fighting make their relationship so unstable that it eventually breaks apart.
* TheOtherDarrin: 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"..
* [[PayEvilUntoEvil Pay Evil Unto Cheaters]]
* PimpedOutDress: Her princess gown in "The Princess Pride" and her wedding gown in "Niagara Brawls".
* PluckyGirl
* {{Pride}}
* ProperlyParanoid: In "Greece's Pieces".
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Her entire moral outlook [[ItsAllAboutMe in regard to herself.]]
* PunnyName: She often threatens to sue the show, and her name's '''Court'''ney.
* SamaritanRelationshipStarter: She finds out that Duncan is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold when she sees him tricking DJ with a replacement Bunny so DJ wouldn't be sad.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Around the halfway mark of ''Action'' was when she started accusing Gwen of stealing Duncan away from her. Ultimately, she was partially responsible for making this come true herself by abusing Duncan so much that he cheated on her with Gwen anyway.
* SixthRanger: For the Killer Grips.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Duncan.
* SmallNameBigEgo
* SoapBoxSadie
* SpicyLatina: According to WordOfGod.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: 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 LoveTriangle with Duncan.
* StepfordSmiler: Tries to become one after Duncan cheats on her in season three. It doesn't work.
--> '''Courtney:''' ''(confessional)'' Well, at least I still have my...pride. ''(tries to smile at the camera, but then breaks down in tears)''
* TeamMom: To the point of being obnoxious.
* ThrowingTheFight: Once she finds out about Duncan and Gwen's kiss in "Greece's Pieces", she intentionally tries to lose so she can vote out Gwen.
* TookALevelInJerkass: 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.
* TookALevelInKindness: She's actually quite nice during the first half of ''World Tour'' (at the very least, she was more tolerant of failure). It all gets ruined when she finds out Duncan cheated on her.
* TraumaticHaircut: Subverted. Heather decides to take some of her hair (to make a wig for herself) in ''Action'' but only cuts off a very small chunk without her noticing.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B in ''Island'', Type A in ''Action''.
* UngratefulBitch: Abandoned Duncan after he wrestled a crocodile to get the million dollar case for her in the first season special. One thing's for sure, she doesn't let moral standards get in the way of a chance to win a prize.
* UptightLovesWild: For Duncan.. at first.
* VocalEvolution: After ''Island,'' her voice became [[MostAnnoyingSound a bit higher-pitched]] and more childish-sounding.
* WellExcuseMePrincess: To Duncan.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Green Jelly?]]
* WomanScorned: And ''how!''
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry : When angry enough, Courtney's strength gets enhanced enough to rival Eva and (mutated) Dakota's. In 'Island', as part of the first challenge, she had problems moving a crate that Eva carried effortlessly, but later in the same season, when finding out that Harold cheated to get her expelled, she rips off a light post and bends it around Harold's body to make him a human pretzel. In 'Action', this strength-enhanced rage becomes more evident as she bare-handed fights 3 sharks at once (apparently killing two of them) and, before that, lifts a bed (with Lindsay on top) over her head.

[[folder:DJ]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_dj.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Brickhouse with Heart]]

->''"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.

* AnimalsHateHim: Even though he loves them. Isn't it ironic?
* BadassBeard
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tosses Owen off of a cliff for hunting him throughout the paintball challenge.
* TheBigGuy
* BlackBestFriend: To Geoff, giving pointers on talking to Bridgette.
* ButtMonkey: In ''World Tour''.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: His victory thanks to Chef's help causes him to see visions of his mother disgusted with him cheating, leading him to eliminate himself.
* CelibateHero: 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?
* CowardlyLion: In the first season. Although he was easily scared, when the chips were down, he'd man up. Unfortunately, this trait [[CharacterizationMarchesOn disappears in Action and World Tour.]]
* DeathSeeker: 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 - [[SpringtimeForHitler and he STILL ended up winning]].
* {{Flanderization}}: Went from simply being a [[GentleGiant Sensitive Guy]] to being a FragileFlower and a MommasBoy to the extreme. Anybody remember back in TDI, when he could go a whole episode without crying?
* FragileFlower
* FriendToAllLivingThings: The guy ''loves'' animals but as of season three, he can't be near one for more than a few minutes without it [[{{RunningGag}} getting maimed or beaten]], to his unending horror.
* GentleGiant
* LethalChef: Averted and played straight. During season two, everybody loves his food and he is capable of transforming Chef's scrubbed mass of things in something edible, but in the ''Action'' 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.
* LovableCoward
* MommasBoy
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: A running gag in ''World Tour'' is DJ feeling guilt after unintentionally harming animals.

[[folder:Duncan]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_duncan.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Juvie]]

->''"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.

** IronButtMonkey
* CatchPhrase: "Later, losers."

* EnfanteTerrible: His bio mentions him racking up suspensions and expulsions...[[UpToEleven pre-kindergarten]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: 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 of ''World Tour''.
* ForTheEvulz: Mainly does bad things for fun.
* GenreSavvy: In-universe in ''Action,'' especially when the movie genre is a sort of horror or monster movie.
* GoodHairEvilHair: His soul patch fits his NobleDemon role.
* Goth: Of the abrasive, sarcastic, and punkish type.
* GracefulLoser: He takes being OutGambitted by Alejandro and Heather surprisingly well.
* GroinAttack: Falls victim to it quite regularly, especially from Courtney.
* GrumpyBear

* HiddenDepths: Revealed to be an extremely talented actor in ''Action''.
* HumiliationConga: His epic pre-elimination beatdown by Ezekiel in ''World Tour'', courtesy of Alejandro and Heather.
* {{Hypocrite}}: 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.
* JerkAss: At his worst, he can be this, most notably toward Harold always and Courtney in ''World Tour''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mostly in ''Island'', but still shows shades of this afterwards, mainly to Gwen.
* KarmaHoudini: 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.
* KnifeNut: He even sleeps with one... [[CargoShip no]], [[{{Squick}} not in that way.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He's not technically a villain, but anyway note how the World Tour [[CerebusSyndrome gets less funny and more dramatic]] once he returns.

* SpikesOfVillainy: His collar.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: He is one of ''the'' most focused-on contestants in the series. He only goes OutOfFocus during the first half of ''World Tour''.
* SympatheticAdulterer: Considering the [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale way]] [[{{Tsundere}} Courtney]] treated him, it's no surprise he eventually got sick of it and left her for Gwen.
* TokenEvilTeammate
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Action'' and ''World Tour'' he went from a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to a straight up JerkAss. He does remain nice to Gwen... and ''only'' Gwen.
* TopHeavyGuy: 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 [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101126070306/totaldramaisland/images/3/33/Glare.PNG when they're all sitting]].
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Celine Dion Music Store Standees?]]
* TheWorfEffect: When the show needs to either show how {{Badass}} someone is (Courtney) or how someone has TookALevelInBadass (Harold, Cody) the first stop seems to be beating up Duncan. Was on the giving end of this, however, when his dodgeball strategy played a major role in ending the Screaming Gopher's winning streak.
* WouldHitAGirl: He claims this in ''Action'', although he's beaten too quickly to prove it. He also throws a shoe at Courtney in an exclusive clip from "Hawaiian Style".
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: His mohawk.
* YourCheatingHeart: In ''World Tour'', he cheats on Courtney by kissing Gwen behind her back, leading to much drama during the rest of the season.

[[folder:Eva]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_eva.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Female Bully]]

->''"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!!


* ActionGirl
* TheArtifact: 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...
* BackForTheDead: She was returned to the competition halfway through ''Island,'' but only lasted the one episode before being eliminated again.
* {{Badass}}
* BeautyMark
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with her MP3 player. She nearly bit Cody's hand off when he tried to touch it in "The Big Sleep".
* TheBigGirl: On the Killer Bass.
* BigOlUnibrow
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The strongest woman, no, strongest ''person'' in the Total Drama series.
* DemotedToExtra
* {{Flanderization}}: She goes from having a HairTriggerTemper to just being angry 24/7 for no good reason.
* HairTriggerTemper: This led to her elimination ''twice''.
* HartmanHips
* HumiliationConga: Already eliminated once due to letting her temper get the better of her (although Heather was partially responsible for it), Eva was brought back to the island and given a second chance. After she rages out again during the challenges, intimidating the other players and flat out threatening Bridgette, she barley loses a chance to win immunity to Leshawna. 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 [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ragaholic, crazy, scary and ]][[MyNameIsNotDurwood Ava]], she's forced off the island in a straightjacket with no other action than just to lob empty threats at the campers.
* OutOfFocus: One of ''the'' least focused-on contestants in the series. Unlike Katie and Sadie, however, she made a return to the competition, but she has not competed since her second elimination in "No Pain, No Game".
* PerpetualFrowner: She doesn't even smile in the group photo.
* SecurityBlanket: Her [=MP3=] Player.
* SuperStrength: She can lift a car over her head, and pull a bus put in drive, '''with her teeth'''.
* TomboyishPonytail
* UnstoppableRage
* VasquezAlwaysDies
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Twice, in the same season no less!

[[folder:Ezekiel]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_ezekiel.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Home-Schooled Guy]]

->''"Well, guys are much stronger and better at sports than girls are, eh."''

-->''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'.

* [[spoiler:AlasPoorVillain: It's pretty hard to not feel sorry for him when he gets knocked into the volcano lava pit. He does survive, though.]]
* AttentionWhore: Justified, given that he was a sheltered, home-schooled kid.
* ButtMonkey: Good Lord is he ever.
** IronButtmonkey: His injuries in ''World Tour'' would be fatal to ''any'' real person, without exception and with absolutely no chance of survival.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes [=/=] [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning]]: In the ''World Tour'' episode "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time In Japan".
* CanadaEh
* TheChewToy: He really isn't taken as a seriously competitor.
* {{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.
* SixthRanger: On Team Victory.
* {{Geek}}

* JiveTurkey: As "The Zeke."
* NiceHat: His toque. It disappears at some point during [[spoiler: his transformation]] in season three.

* RecurringExtra: He made several cameo appearances after his elimination in ''World Tour'' and [[spoiler: acted as a minor antagonist]] in ''Revenge of the Island''.
* SanitySlippage: During ''World Tour''.
* SmallNameBigEgo
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: In ''World Tour'' he starts referring to himself as "The Zeke".

[[folder:Geoff]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_geoff.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Party Guy]]

->"''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.

* BecomingTheMask: Starts to become like this when he is given the chance to act mean as the Aftermath host; however, Bridgette stops him, reverting back to his usual NiceGuy persona.
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with Bridgette, you'll regret it.
* {{Flanderization}}: Into Bridgette's hypersexual lover in ''Action''. Fortunately, he returns to his original personality during season three.
* HeroicSacrifice
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bridgette gives him a taste of his own medicine in the third ''Action'' Aftermath.
* TheLancer: On the Killer Bass.
* MakeOutKids: With Bridgette.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: In "Up the Creek", he gets a really tiny splinter in his ankle and everyone (including him) treats it as if his leg had been bitten off by a shark.
* NiceGuy: Most of the time.
* NiceHat
* ThePollyanna
* RealMenWearPink: His shirt.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: If he didn't have a crush on Bridgette, he'd pretty much be Owen without the fart, fat, and [[HoYay gay]] jokes.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When he gets pelted with hail in "Phobia Factor" and when he gets covered in leeches in "No Pain, No Game".
* SurferDude
* TookALevelInJerkass: During ''Action''. While he returns to his NiceGuy persona in ''World Tour'' a portion of his jerkishness seems to have remained with him, but this time it's funneled into KickTheSonOfABitch instead of KickTheDog (in this case, Blaineley, who had sent Bridgette on a plane to Siberia and dropped her in a cave with a [[BearsAreBadNews very dangerous brown bear]]).
* TotallyRadical: It doesn't come off as forced, though.
* TranquilFury: When Blaineley's indifference to having potentially doomed Bridgette to death by Siberian brown bear gets on his last nerve.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerBass_harold.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Uber-Geek]]

->''"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).
* AbortedArc: At the end of ''Island'' and the first few episodes of ''Action'', 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 ''World Tour'' Aftermath!
* BerserkButton: Don't toy with his feelings for Leshawna, especially if you're Duncan.
* ButtMonkey
* CaptainSuperhero: In "Super Hero-Id" he names himself Captain Alberta for the superhero challenge.
* CatchPhrase:

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.

[[caption-width:96:The Sweet Girl's Friend]]

->''"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!

-> "''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.

* AmusingInjuries: The personification of them.
* BrownEyes
* BuffySpeak
* {{Catchphrase}}: "EXTREEEEME!", which is almost always [[CatchphraseInterruptus interrupted]] by an injury.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: 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.''
* TheChewToy: 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.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* TheDitz
* DumbJock: He spells jerk with a "G" and climbs an ''electric'' fence, both in "The EX-Files".
* IronButtmonkey
* {{Keet}}
* LovableJock: While his sports skills aren't as good as he'd like them to be, he's still defined primarily by his sports playing--and he's also a devoted, patient boyfriend, willing to befriend geeks and nerds, and adamantly against cheating on a loved one.
* {{Malaproper}}: Tyler has this habit of mangling his sentences, especially when trying to explain something.
-->'''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!''
* {{Otaku}}: Has a thing for Japanese game shows.
* OutOfFocus: From his elimination in ''Island'' until the start of ''World Tour''.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: AmusingInjuries 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''.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Then again, it was during a scarab beetle swarm...
* ShipperOnDeck: He ships Gwen/Cody.
* SmallNameBigEgo: When it comes to sports.
* TalkingToHimself: With Cody.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After a season and a half, Lindsay FINALLY remembered who he was in "Slap Slap Revolution".
* TooDumbToLive: He scales an electric fence instead of just going through an open gate in "The EX-Files".
* TookALevelInBadass: Somewhat in the Yukon episode, but he [[SnapBack snapped back]] in the Amazon.
* UndyingLoyalty: He nearly breaks his hands trying to knock down a wall to rescue Owen in "The EX-Files".
--> [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "NEVER! LEAVE! A MAN! BEHIND!"]]
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Chickens?]]
* WouldntHitAGirl: Unfortunately, he only remembers this ''after'' volunteering to fight against the all-girl (sans Cody) Team Amazon in "Greece's Pieces".
