* BaldnessMeansSickness: [[spoiler: After Chris sends her down to the toxic mines for forty minutes, she wakes up in the infirmary and to her horror has lost all of her hair from the radiation. The next day it grows back but green and spiky and is a sign of her mutating.]]

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: How Dakota falls for Sam. During their time on the show, Sam has been nothing but nice and respectful to her, and over time she began to appreciate that. In "Runaway Model", she happily gave Sam fashion advice because no one ever asked anything from her, Sam called her an Angel, which essentially wins her over. It is sealed when she turned into a mutant, and even then, Sam still likes her, even more so, so Dakota's elimination didn't hurt as much because Sam is all she needs now.

* FreakyIsCool: One of her and Sam's bonding points is that they both have a soft spot for weird stuff. In "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!", she finds a mutant squirrel adorable, wanting one as a pet until it tries to zap her with its EyeBeams. She and Sam are the only two who like the mutant squirrel. Dakota herself mutates in "The Treasure Island of Dr. [=McLean=]", something she is initially uneasy about socially while all the same enjoying the physical boost. Once she's ascertained that Sam still likes her, she takes her mutation in stride and in an exclusive clip is shown to have taken her new form to the stage as a pro wrestler.

* {{Mutants}}: In "[[Recap/TotalDramaAMineIsATerribleThingToWaste A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste]]", Dakota is sent into a radioactive mine by Chris to test the area for safety. She stays for forty minutes, blacks out at some point, and gets retrieved by the other interns and put in the infirmary. To her horror she discovers she lost all her hair after she comes to, and about a day after, in "[[Recap/TotalDramaTheTreasureIslandOfDrMcLean The Treasure Island of Doctor McLean]]", she gradually becomes bigger, stronger, spikier, and more prone to HulkSpeak every time she experiences a burst of anger. Her final form is powerful, inhumanly tall, and in the possession of green spiked hair, orange skin, red eyes, shoulder and elbow spikes, razor-sharp teeth, and a tail. She comes to like her new self, with Sam finding her even more attractive than before and makes a career out of it as a wrestler, being one of the few mutants not to make the Fun Zone their home.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Given her blonde hair, starlet attitude and rich daddy Mr. Milton, Dakota seems to be based on Creator/ParisHilton.

* OminousHairLoss: She temporarily loses all her hair after being exposed to radioactive waste. Her hair grows back, but it's green and spiky as part of her transformation.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: How she feels towards Chris, declaring him [[KarmicDeath a dead man]] after his mistreatment of her in "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste" [[spoiler:when she loses all her hair and is reinstated as a contestant]]. The feeling becomes stronger [[spoiler:as she mutates]] in the following episode.

* {{Gonk}}: While she's not completely a bad girl herself despite her compulsive lying, she's also not that pretty desirable to look at.

* {{Gonk}}: While she's not completely a bad girl herself despite her compulsive lying, she's also not as desirable to look at.

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Backstabbers Ahoy!" centers around Dawn and how she discovers Scott's true nature, before her failure to take him down ends in her elimination.
* AllLovingHeroine: She is kind and [[TheEmpath empathetic]] to everyone, due to her AuraVision and tries to find the [[HiddenHeartOfGold good in everyone]], even Scott. However, she makes an exception with him [[spoiler:when she finds out his true nature.]]

* SecretKeeper: Dawn is the only one besides Cameron to figure out that Mike has MPD. She doesn't tell anyone but does hint towards it to Zoey in "[[Recap/TotalDramaIceIceBaby Ice Ice Baby]]" to help her overcome her doubt about Mike's interest in her now that Vito keeps flirting with Anne Maria.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler: As she's turning into a mutated monster, she easily became this.]]

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: [[spoiler:Most especially after she got mutated with radioactive stuff.]]

* GentleGiant: [[spoiler:Her post-mutation form is both powerful and intimidating but she only uses her strength against things she perceives as threats, such as angry crocodiles, giant mutant turtles or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Chris]].]]

* MeaningfulName: Though it may just be a coincidence, the name "Dakota" means "friend" or "ally", which fits her SpoiledSweet personality.

* SpoiledSweet: Coming from a very wealthy family, on the surface, she seems like a SpoiledBrat, hogging all the cameras as much as she wanted. But deep down, she's actually really sweet, especially in her later appearances.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: [[spoiler:Most especially after she became mutated.]]

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler: As she's turning into a mutated monster, she became this.]]

* AnimalNemesis: [[TheDreaded Fang]], having made the mistake of stealing the tooth of the SuperPersistentPredator, which led Fang to hunt Scott for the duration of ''Revenge of the Island'' and even in ''All-Stars''.

* ShovelStrike: Accidentally does this to Mike (as Manitoba Smith) in "Evil Dread" after triggering a Booby Trap and getting frightened by bees. [[spoiler:[[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that he also re-awakened Mal.]]

* SingleTear: [[spoiler:He is genuinely upset when everyone, aside from Cameron, laughs at his condition]] in "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown".

* SmugSnake: In ''Revenge of the Island''; his overconfidence proves to be his downfall. Less so in ''All-Stars''.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His overconfidence in his ability to manipulate and sabotage others is what eventually leads to his downfall.

A chubby and eccentric girl whose most notable trait is that she never ''ever'' shuts up. Staci is a pathological liar who constantly blabbers about her alleged ancestors' numerous (and entirely fictional) achievements and contributions to society in an effort to impress everyone.

* AttentionWhore: Her lies are seemingly designed to bring attention to herself.
* BadLiar: So bad that she was voted off on the first episode of ''Revenge of the Island''.
* CassandraTruth: Despite being labeled "The Compulsive Liar," her audition tape implies Staci's claims about her family's inventions might actually be true, as she shows real photographs of her ancestors.
* CharacterFilibuster: She is ''always'' rambling on about her ancestors and their supposed contributions to society, [[ExaggeratedTrope even when she is in mortal danger]].
* ChattyHairdresser: Invoked. Staci is a chatterbox like no other and in her biography, she notes that her first job was working in a hair salon.
* CloudCuckoolander: Staci fits this trope as she keeps telling lies about her relatives inventing things nonstop, even when she's in grave danger.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/{{Survivor}} Benjamin "Coach" Wade]], who was known for telling silly stories.
* FlatCharacter: She has little character other than being a compulsive liar.
* HateSink: A rare instance of this trope where the person in question isn't a bad person. Nonetheless, Staci was made for the sole purpose of being irritating to the audience, so that fans wouldn't complain that the first eliminated contestant didn't last long enough.
* InventorOfTheMundane: She claims she is descended from several of these.
* JokeCharacter: Her gimmick is constantly telling lies about her ancestors.
* MotorMouth: Does this girl ''ever'' shut up?
* NoNeckChump: Staci is a chubby girl of medium height whose head at cheek level makes a slightly inwards-angled straight line down to her torso.
* OminousHairLoss: After receiving the very first Marshmallow of Toxic Loserdome, all her hair save for some spare strands [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/8/88/STACILOSESHAIR.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20181129175255 immediately falls out]] due to the radiation.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Her constant lies about her ancestors have given Staci a rather inflated ego.
* VerbalTic: She begins most of her sentences with "Yah".
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She only appears in the first and last episodes of ''Revenge of the Island.''

A farmboy as devious as he is unscrupulous, Scott is a natural-born schemer who will do anything to win ''Total Drama'', even if it's at the expense of his teammates. However, as later seasons show, he does have a soft side when under the proper circumstances.

* AmazonChaser: In ''All-Stars'' he gets involved with [[SpicyLatina Courtney]] due to her bossy, aggressive nature.
* AndIMustScream: At the end of season four, [[spoiler:he gets paralyzed by Fang and is put in a trauma chair that only lets him communicate via flashing lights for yes or no. What makes it worse is that the rest of the players laugh at him and he can't do anything about it]].
* AnimalMotifs: Scott is associated with rats due to the fact he's a member of the Toxic Rats, he's naturally filthy and repulsive due to his lack of hygiene and loves to eat nasty things like dirt and has a shifty and untrustworthy personality. Courtney even draws an image of him with a rat's tail on her chart which indicates that even she thinks he's like a rat.
* AnimalNemesis: [[TheDreaded Fang]], having made the mistake of stealing the tooth of the SuperPersistentPredator, which led Fang to hunt Scott for the duration of ''Revenge of the Island'' and even in ''All-Stars''.
* AssholeVictim: Scott frequently falls victim to being pursued and mauled by the mutant shark Fang, but Scott has most of it coming, as despite not really being at fault for what caused the shark to develop a grudge for him (simply escaping from his mouth and accidentally ripping out a tooth that got stuck on him in the process), he's always been an all-round horrible person who ruined the lives of many and a scheming jerk only out for himself.
* BigBad: Of ''Revenge of the Island'', [[DiscOneFinalBoss until "Eat Puke and be Wary"]].
* BigBadFriend: To Zoey. He managed to win over her trust for several episodes, and very nearly turned her against her own crush. She finally learns the truth about him after he gets Mike eliminated.
* BizarreTasteInFood:
** Having grown up on a farm, Scott apparently has no problem eating Chef's disgusting gruel, and likes it! The accompanying indigestion is a pleasant kind of nostalgia.
** He has no problem eating ''green'' toast, calling it "Penicillin Puree".
** In "Sundae Muddy Sundae", he can't put chocolate syrup on his sundae, so he puts dirt on it instead. And he enjoys it.
* BookDumb: He doesn't show much intelligence, aside from his skills in manipulation.
* BreakTheHaughty: Like every antagonist of seasons past, he gets broken in an ''epic'' fashion.
* TheBrute: He takes up this role for the Villainous Vultures in ''All-Stars'', once both the jocks are eliminated.
* BullyingADragon: He spends a large amount of season four harassing Mike who is probably the most overpowered character in Total Drama history. He gets away with it because Mike is so mild mannered and non-confrontational, [[JekyllAndHyde Mal]] [[MakeWayForTheNewVillains on the other hand]].
* BullyingTheDisabled: When he finds out about Mike's DID, he proceeds to rub his disability in his face and uses it to blackmail him by threatening to tell his girlfriend.
* CardCarryingJerkAss: In addition to being a CardCarryingVillain, he also doesn't hide the fact that he's a JerkAss, as evidenced by him [[BullyingTheDisabled bullying Mike for his disorder]]. Averted in ''All-Stars'' where he [[TookALevelInKindness takes a level in kindness.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: The "Devious", before later being changed to "The Troublemaker".
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The cunning, [[{{Schemer}} scheming]], [[TeamKiller challenge throwing]] Scott vanishes after "Evil Dread", in favor of a [[TookALevelInDumbass moronic]], [[NoSocialSkills socially clueless]] FarmBoy who serves as PluckyComicRelief and the resident [[IronButtMonkey pain magnet]].
* CheatersNeverProsper: Initially averted, then played straight in "Eat, Puke, and Be Wary", when he switches his dish with Cameron's when his back was turned. This later gets played straight when he [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking gets shot by Chef's painful spaghetti gun, mauled by Fang, and eventually voted off by Cameron and Zoey]].
* ChekhovsSkill: Scott is shown whittling a piece of wood in some of his confessionals. In "Backstabbers, Ahoy!" it's revealed that he has used this skill to create fake immunity idols.
* TheChessmaster: Unlike most antagonists at that point in the game had the basic strategy of winning challenges and manipulating their team to the merge before tearing them apart. Scott had the strategy of actually throwing the challenges so that he could eliminate those he considered to be threats later on, while securing the immunity idol on the off chance he did get the most votes himself. While a risky strategy, Scott manages to pull it off with his charisma and manipulation, he also carved up fake immunity idols to deceive contestants who were also searching for it.
* TheChewToy: Figuratively, and in the case of Fang, literally, especially so in ''All-Stars''.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In ''Revenge'', the only person whose side he's on is his own.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Scott distances himself from the {{Big Bad}}s of the previous seasons with his strategy of [[TeamKiller throwing challenges]] to [[UnfriendlyFire vote off his team mates]]. He's also the only BigBad to date who never formed any sort of alliance in the season where he was the main villain.
* CreepyChild: The fact that he showed no regret or remorse over causing a fight between his own parents as a kid qualifies him for this.
* DeadpanSnarker: Is probably the most sarcastic contestant in ''Revenge''. Not so much in ''All-Stars'', though he still has his moments.
* DeepSouth: Despite being Canadian, many of Scott's mannerisms fit the trope.
* DemotedToComicRelief: Goes from the BigBad of ''Revenge of the Island'' to the IronButtMonkey ChewToy in ''All-Stars''.
* DevilInPlainSight: Played straight early on in ''Revenge''; however, the other campers eventually realize that he is up to no good.
* {{Determinator}}: "Whatever doesn't horribly maim and devour you only makes you stronger."
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Despite being season four's main antagonist, he gets eliminated in "In Eat Puke and Be Wary" and the final antagonist of the season ends up being JerkJock Lightning instead.
* DirtyCoward: While he might seem tough, chaotic and aggressive, his biggest fear is sharks. Even when he taunts one, he panics when the tables have turned.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: He calls Mike "crazy" and a "loser" for having a mental illness and even takes advantage of it at one point. [[BullyingTheDisabled Hmm...]].
* EatDirtCheap: When he's depressed, he sometimes eats dirt as a ComfortFood.
* EnfantTerrible: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. He boasts in his online bio that his fondest childhood memory is causing a fight between his own parents.
* EvilFeelsGood: He takes pride in being a villain and at times does it ForTheEvulz.
* EvilIsHammy: Mainly in ''All-Stars'' where he tries to remind everyone he's a villain ([[VillainDecay even though he's clearly not]]).
* EvilRedhead: He's a redhead and a manipulative prankster who knows how to play the competition like a violin.
* ExactWords: He keeps his word to Cameron and never reveals Mike's secret to Zoey, but what he does is [[KickTheDog far worse]], by keeping Mike obedient by blackmailing him to follow his every whim at the prospect of revealing his secret.
* ExBigBad: After causing havoc in ''Revenge of the Island'', he returns in ''All-Stars'' as one of the returning villains. However, unlike Alejandro and Heather, he's never treated like much of a threat, with most people [[CharacterizationMarchesOn brushing him off as an idiotic farmboy]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Russell Hantz from ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', due to his willingness to [[TeamKiller screw over his own team]] (especially those he feels have crossed him or he just plain dislikes), how he hunts for and easily finds the hidden immunity idol, and both were on the Villains Team in their second season. Much like Russell, he is also beaten by his own arrogance, and denied the finale ''twice''.
* ExtremeDoormat: To Courtney. [[spoiler: Even after vowing to never forgive her, he states that he would if she wants him to.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: Scott may have the toughest stomach out of all of the second-generation cast, and could probably give even Owen a run for his money. He is shown eating gruel off Courtney's face, enjoying green moldy bread, and dirt is his equivalent of HeartbreakAndIceCream.
* FarmBoy: He grew up on the farm, which he attributes to his rough personality.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Not quite to the skill level that Alejandro has mastered, but he was still able to sucker Dawn, Sam and Zoey into believing he was their friend until he backstabbed them.
* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: A very understandable reaction when facing Fang.
* {{Flanderization}}: Scott was always a little dumb, but his stupidity becomes much more profound in ''All-Stars'' as it becomes the only bit of his characterization from ''Revenge of the Island'' to stay intact.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Alejandro and Heather. Both his predecessor villains made numerous alliances throughout the game and played dirty to make sure their teams would win. Scott tries hard to make his team lose so he can vote off his competition and never made a single alliance in his debut season.
** To Duncan. Both have reputations as the devious troublemakers of their generation, however, while Duncan was TheBully who openly tormented others, Scott chooses to be {{Schemer}} who keeps his true nastiness hidden from public eyes. Both also end up as the primary nemesis of the generation's nerd (Harold for Duncan, Cameron for Scott). ''All-Stars'' has fun with this by having both boys [[TookALevelInKindness taking a level in kindness]] with waning villain threats. The cherry on the cake, both of them ended up dating Courtney at some point, showing Courtney HasAType.
* FreudianExcuse: Implied by Dawn's aura reading.
-->'''Dawn''': You weren't held enough as a child.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: A promotional trailer for ''All-Stars'' referred to him as "nobody's friend, Scott".
* GigglingVillain: He seems to be rather fond of chuckling when in a villainous mood.
* GracefulLoser:
** He takes his elimination in ''Revenge of the Island'' surprisingly well, even showing approval towards Zoey for "duping" him.
** He takes his elimination in ''All-Stars'' well enough too, even warning Zoey of Mike's treachery before leaving.
* HairTriggerTemper: Downplayed. While yes, he can get a bit aggressive and moody at times, he's not as bad as Eva, Courtney or (to a lesser extent) Duncan.
* HalfWittedHillbilly: More prominent in ''All Stars'', after he TookALevelInDumbass.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Electrocuted several times in "The Obsta-Kill Kourse". While it did seem painful, it didn't seem to do any permanent damage.
* HarmlessVillain: In ''All-Stars'' he still thinks of himself as a villain, but the fact of the matter is that by this stage, ''Cameron'' has succeeded in being more villainous than him.
* HatedByAll: In ''Revenge of the Island'', downplayed in ''All Stars''. In ''Revenge of the Island'', none of the characters seem to care for him due to his wicked actions and he's one of the few contestants to not have any friends or allies during that season, which was lampshaded in ''Brains vs Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown'' when Chris explained that they had to put Scott inside the trauma chair so he could survive after being mauled by Fang, he stated that who cares because it's Scott, everyone started laughing. In ''All Stars'', while it's still not anything friendly, he seems to now consider his teammates as allies and likewise be considered as one by them, even Duncan stated at one point that he thinks Scott is "alright" as he's the type to know what to expect from, and he starts a relationship with Courtney of all people.
* HateSink: Scott was one in ''Revenge Of The Island'' when he was the villain of that season because he did several loathsome acts. He threw several challenges and got B eliminated, framed Dawn for stealing then humiliated her with a fake idol and got her eliminated, and then selfishly took advantage of Mike’s multiple personality disorder to blackmail him into helping him win challenges and then threw him under the bus after winning the challenge by voting him off just because he could. These heinous acts were what caused a lot of the campers to spite him and not show any sympathy to him when they found out that he got mauled by Fang after getting eliminated.
* HiddenDepths: He has stated he has a soft spot for nature and enjoyed watching the doves released in the morning in ''All-Stars''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His overconfidence in his ability to manipulate and sabotage others is what eventually leads to his downfall.
* HumiliationConga: In "Eat, Puke and Be Wary": he gets hit by Chef's spaghetti bazooka, falls into several of Zoey's traps, voted off, and takes the hurl of shame with his least favorite shark who mauls him, later after he's put in the trauma chair everyone laughs at him.
* IconicItem: The shark tooth that he took from Fang in the second episode. [[spoiler:Fang reclaims his tooth just before Scott takes the Hurl of Shame.]]
* IMeantToDoThat: His confessional response to the WrongGenreSavvy incident below (as it actually helped his strategy).
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: [[TeamKiller More so]] than Heather, and that's saying something. However, [[TookALevelInKindness he tries to make nice]] in ''All-Stars''.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: The whole basis of how his relationship with Courtney formed.
-->'''Scott''': You're pretty when you're angry.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Does this in an attempt to sabotage his team in "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste;" Manitoba determines that the right path holds death by giant rodent teeth, and the left path leads to minecart tracks. Scott argues they should go right because it's the "right" path.
-->'''Manitoba Smith''': "He's a sandwich short of a picnic, that one, eh?"
* InsufferableImbecile: Downplayed after he TookALevelInDumbass in ''All-Stars''. While yes, he still has a few JerkAss moments here and there, he's still much nicer to everyone than he was in ''Revenge of the Island''.
* IronButtMonkey: His only purpose in ''All-Stars'' is to get injured in every manner physically possible, and it's always PlayedForLaughs.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As noted above, he competed in ''Revenge of the Island'' not to make friends but so that he can win the million-dollar prize. He also took advantage of Mike's disorder for his own selfish desires.
* {{Jerkass}}: He often resorted to [[TeamKiller eliminating his own teammates]] to get ahead. He gets better in ''All-Stars'', where he acts [[TookALevelInKindness far less nasty]] and actually becomes a team player.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Scott points out to Zoey how proficient Lightning was as a competitor. Zoey doesn't seem to care at first until Lightning shows up right at that moment and displays his athletic prowess.
-->'''Zoey''': Scott made a point, I hate it when Scott makes a point.
* JerkassToOne: Even after Scott becomes nicer to people in ''All-Stars'', he's still antagonistic to Cameron.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Becomes this in ''All-Stars''. While some of his {{Jerkass}} tendencies remain, he is generally much nicer to almost everyone.
* KarmicButtMonkey: Even before becoming ''All-Stars'' IronButtMonkey, he suffered from ''a lot'' of painful injures in ''Revenge of the Island''.
* KickTheDog:
** He refuses to help Cameron when he was drowning in "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!".
** He gets Dawn's hopes up with a fake [=McLean=] idol after framing her before getting her voted off in "Backstabbers Ahoy".
** He was especially cruel to Mike in "Grand Chef Auto", with many of his actions being ForTheEvulz and not necessary to save himself from elimination. He blackmails Mike into helping him throughout the entire episode, even forcing risk his own safety, preventing him from helping his friends, and very nearly [[RelationshipSabotage causing Zoey to break up with Mike]]. When he finally pushes Mike too far to the point where Mike no longer cares about his secret getting exposed, Scott activates Vito and has him help out instead. He also calls Mike [[BullyingTheDisabled crazy and a loser for having multiple personalities]].
* LackOfEmpathy: Scott is easily one of the cruelest villains in Total Drama history, especially when he bullies others in such a vicious and sadistic manner.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Much like Heather in ''Island'', the karma bug bit Scott ''a lot''.
* LightIsNotGood: Pale-skinned, wears a white vest, the main antagonist of ''Revenge of the Island'', and a member of the Villainous Vultures.
* MadeOfIron: Getting attacked by a shark in real life can and will kill someone but despite getting attacked by Fang numerous times, he has yet to die. Averted in "Eat, Puke and Be Wary" and "Brains vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown". In the former, he gets severely injured and in the latter, he gets put in the Trauma Chair after getting attacked by Fang.
* ManipulativeBastard: He played the "Toxic Rats" like puppets, easily bending them to his will with his "who to eliminate" speech at the end of each episode.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}
-->'''Scott''': I'm like a little kid in a candy store full of suckers! ''(chuckles)'' And I'm gonna... uh, like, break 'em and stuff.
** Also when Mal tells him Alejandro tried to drove "a wedge" between him and Courtney.
-->'''Scott''': A wedge of what? Cheese?
-->(''Mal [[{{Facepalm}} facepalms]]'')
* TheMillstone: Scott often deliberately {{invoke|d Trope}}s this as part of his TeamKiller strategy.
* MirrorCharacter: In ''All-Stars'', Scott displaces Tyler as the series' IronButtMonkey.
* NiceMeanandInbetween:
** Before getting moved to the Mutant Maggots in ''Revenge of the Island'', he is the Mean to Sam's Nice and Lightning's In-Between.
** After getting moved to the Mutant Maggots, he becomes the Mean to Mike's Nice and Cameron's In-Between.
** After Cameron gets moved to the Villainous Vultures in ''All-Stars'', he becomes the In-Between to Cameron's Nice and Alejandro's Mean.
* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: Scott attempts to cheat in "Evil Dread"... but is caught by Manitoba.
* OppositesAttract: Let's see; Courtney loves giving orders, and Scott loves taking orders. They really are perfect for each other, aren't they?
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Warning Zoey about Mike/Mal [[GracefulLoser after she eliminated him, no less]]. Especially considering they were fierce enemies in the previous season.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He uses Mike's fears of being ostracized for his disorder for his own selfish gain. Notably, he's also the only character who ever insults or makes fun of Mike after learning the truth about his condition.
* RunningGag:
** Scott really shouldn't use the confessional so much, seeing how often he manages to hurt himself in it.
** In ''All-Stars'', he constantly gets bitten on the butt by animals. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this in "The Obsta-Kill Course."
--->'''Scott''': Why is it always my butt!?
* SatelliteCharacter: Becomes this in ''All-Stars'' as he has virtually no purpose or plot in the season outside of his [[spoiler: failed]] romance plot with Courtney, yet he manages to rank [[spoiler:3rd]] in spite of his irrelevance.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He is the manly man (a tough and aggressive [[TeamKiller team killing]] Jerkass whose seen beating up rats in his audition tape) to Mike's sensitive guy (a scrawny and [[ShrinkingViolet timid]] NiceGuy with a gap between his teeth).
* ShellShockedVeteran: To Sharks, especially Fang.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The machine (and his facial expression) that he gets stuck in during "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown" is a shout-out to the same state that Captain Pike was reduced to in Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries.]]
* ShovelStrike: Accidentally does this to Mike (as Manitoba Smith) in "Evil Dread" after triggering a Booby Trap and getting frightened by bees. [[spoiler:[[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that he also re-awakened Mal.]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: Towards Courtney, before meeting her NoLoveForTheWicked seems to apply to him. His inexperience makes itself [[LoveMakesYouDumb very obvious.]]
* SingleTear: [[spoiler:He is genuinely upset when everyone, aside from Cameron, laughs at his condition]] in "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown".
* SixthRangerTraitor: After changing to the Mutant Maggots, where he once again resorts to [[TeamKiller Team Killing]].
* SmugSnake: In ''Revenge of the Island''; his overconfidence proves to be his downfall. Less so in ''All-Stars''.
* TheSociopath: Dawn outright calls him this, while Mike refers to him as psycho.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: In ''Revenge of the Island'', it's justified since he was the main villain of the season; however, in ''All-Stars'', [[FlatCharacter he doesn't contribute much to the plot]] aside from his ultimately failed crush with Courtney, yet remains on the show until "The Bold and the Booty-ful". Overall, he has the second-most screen time out of the entire second-generation cast, having only two fewer episodes total than ''Zoey'' as of ''All Stars''.
* StreetSmart: What he lacks in {{Book Smart}}s, he makes up in his ability to manipulate people and set up traps.
* TeamKiller: Scott's strategy in ''Revenge of the Island'' is to deliberately sabotage his own team so he controls the eliminations. He stops this in ''All-Stars'' for obvious reasons, although he considered doing so in "Evil Dread".
** In "Truth or Laser Shark", he slows down his team by petting the mutant rat instead of handing it off to B. It worked, but B wasn't eliminated. Instead, Dakota spent too much time putting on makeup and cost her team the challenge, so she got eliminated.
** In "Ice, Ice, Baby", he melts his own team's fort to frame B for sabotage and gets him eliminated.
** In "Backstabbers Ahoy!", he shoots Sam in the back, causing him to pass out and crash their team's boat. He then frames Dawn for stealing the campers' possessions and gets her eliminated.
** In "The Treasure Island of Dr. [=McLean=]", he gives Jo and Lightning a hint on where to go and sends his own team to dig in the wrong location.
* ThrowingTheFight: Part of his team-killing strategy.
** However, this is subverted in "Finders Creepers" when Sam wins the challenge, despite being bound to Scott.
** Subverted again in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing To Waste" [[spoiler:when he threw away the statue they are supposed to find, unaware that the statue landed in Anne Maria's hair which wins them the challenge once they leave the mine.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: In ''Revenge of the Island'' while on both teams.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Scott goes from a cunning manipulator in ''Revenge of the Island'' to a HalfWittedHillbilly who [[{{Metaphorgotten}} gets confused by metaphors]] in ''All-Stars''.
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''All-Stars'' he is a lot nicer to his teammates (and everyone else in general) than in ''Revenge of the Island'', with the exception of Cameron.
* TroublingUnchildLikeBehavior: When he was a kid, he caused a fight between his parents and ''enjoyed it''.
* UnfriendlyFire: His central strategy in ''Revenge of the Island'' where he'd spend the first half of his season [[TeamKiller throwing challenges]] and picking off any teammates that served as potential threats.
* UnexplainedRecovery: He looked as though he was paralyzed for life after being mauled by Fang, facilitating the need of a robotic chair that conveyed his thoughts via a red and green blinking light as seen in the ''Revenge of the Island'' finale. But come ''All Stars'', he is back on his feet and completely healed.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "Evil Dread", he accidentally hits Mike with a shovel while swatting at a swarm of bees in a panic. This is what reawakens Mal for the first time.
* VillainDecay: A {{Jerkass}} in ''Revenge'', but relegated to [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] status in ''All-Stars''. Scott also no longer schemes against the other competitors, instead seems to be content with competing fair and square. Justified because his [[TeamKiller old strategy]] wouldn't be very practical to use twice.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In "Heroes vs. Villains", the first episode of ''All Stars'', he says in the Confessional that his brush with death after being mauled by Fang in ''Revenge of The Island'' has scarred him and he has developed a phobia of sharks as a result.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Successfully pulls one on Zoey in "Runaway Model". He feigns remorse for eliminating Dawn, stating that she could communicate with Sasquatchanakwa and save Lindsay.
* WouldHitAGirl: He throws a spray can at Zoey's head while she's climbing a totem pole in "Grand Chef Auto".
* WrongGenreSavvy: For winning the first challenge in "Ice Ice Baby", the Rats are allowed to choose which fort they will command for the second challenge. While most of the team immediately chooses the more impressive one, Scott convinces them that it's a trick and the other fort will look nicer on the inside. It doesn't.
* YouDirtyRat: While he's technically still a human, his behavior is unusually rat-like due to how pesky, repulsive and cunning he is.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Ashley Peters

-->'''Label:''' The Compulsive Liar

-->'''Teams:''' Toxic Rats

-->'''Placements:''' 13th (TDRI)

-->'''Eliminated in:''' [[Recap/TotalDramaBiggerBadderBrutaler Episode 1]] (TDRI)

A chubby and eccentric girl whose most notable trait is that she never ''ever'' shuts up. Staci is a pathological liar who constantly blabbers about her alleged ancestors' numerous (and entirely fictional) achievements and contributions to society in an effort to impress everyone.
----
* AttentionWhore: Her lies are seemingly designed to bring attention to herself.
* BadLiar: So bad that she was voted off on the first episode of ''Revenge of the Island''.
* CassandraTruth: Despite being labeled "The Compulsive Liar," her audition tape implies Staci's claims about her family's inventions might actually be true, as she shows real photographs of her ancestors.
* CharacterFilibuster: She is ''always'' rambling on about her ancestors and their supposed contributions to society, [[ExaggeratedTrope even when she is in mortal danger]].
* ChattyHairdresser: Invoked. Staci is a chatterbox like no other and in her biography, she notes that her first job was working in a hair salon.
* CloudCuckoolander: Staci fits this trope as she keeps telling lies about her relatives inventing things nonstop, even when she's in grave danger.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/{{Survivor}} Benjamin "Coach" Wade]], who was known for telling silly stories.
* FlatCharacter: She has little character other than being a compulsive liar.
* HateSink: A rare instance of this trope where the person in question isn't a bad person. Nonetheless, Staci was made for the sole purpose of being irritating to the audience, so that fans wouldn't complain that the first eliminated contestant didn't last long enough.
* InventorOfTheMundane: She claims she is descended from several of these.
* JokeCharacter: Her gimmick is constantly telling lies about her ancestors.
* MotorMouth: Does this girl ''ever'' shut up?
* NoNeckChump: Staci is a chubby girl of medium height whose head at cheek level makes a slightly inwards-angled straight line down to her torso.
* OminousHairLoss: After receiving the very first Marshmallow of Toxic Loserdome, all her hair save for some spare strands [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/8/88/STACILOSESHAIR.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20181129175255 immediately falls out]] due to the radiation.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Her constant lies about her ancestors have given Staci a rather inflated ego.
* VerbalTic: She begins most of her sentences with "Yah".
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She only appears in the first and last episodes of ''Revenge of the Island.''
