Chris Maclain: The Sadistic Host.
The Host of the show! Also one of three producers of the Total Drama Franchise.

After that his 102 year old grandmother comes on stage and drags him off by the ear while saying he is grounded for three years and shall be spanked by her cane ... and this was on live international television. However, the epilogue of Letterama and Letter Starz in general seem to imply this was a set up.

Jill in TDL3, as an Intern

Kim Rosefelt, the Dangerous Flirt
- Cluster F-Bomb: She has a... colorful vocabulary, to say the least, at least in the Confessional and even in the bonus chapter.
- Crazy-Prepared: After watching Letterz and realizing she would be unable to access her pills during Letterama, she made a video explaining lots of things she was afraid she'd do, clearing up most of the things she did in her past, and showing her face to the online world and submitted it two days before she competed on the show. And, as a result of the bonus chapter, this was clearly a very good decision.
- Even Bad Women Love Their Mamas: Implied with her parents, if her aftermath interview is anything to go by. Confirmed in the bonus chapter when she finally reunites with them in the therapist's house after two weeks.
- Faux Affably Evil
- Foil: Kim is essentially what happens when you take Tabitha, remove the redeeming qualities she had, take her atrocities up to eleven, and make her hate anyone that isn't part of her ethnicity.
- Frameup: How she eliminates Yannis the first time, by making the other campers think that he wrote a vicious hate note to Sasha when in fact she was the one responsible.
- Freudian Excuse: Apparently everything she does throughout the season is due to severe depression, and it's implied that something happened in her past intense enough to cause it. She also had no pills for the duration of Letterama as a result of her contract, and based on her reactions in the bonus chapter, her pills clearly help her a lot.
- Gold Digger: She desires to use Eddie to get her through the game by becoming his girlfriend, and then telling him what she really thought about him at the finals so that she won't have any competition.
- Hate Sink: Barney and Yannis both consider her to be worse than Kasimar.
- The Heavy: Of the pre-merge.
- Humiliation Conga: Hoo boy... Upon Yannis's return, he exposed Kim of who she really was, had her Idol switched with the fake one by Lankston, got her plans to burn Sasha exposed to Spider and Quana, getting her disqualified at the Campfire, was forced to beg for the fake idol by acting like a pig, was tossed via the Hurl of Shame... and that was on the Island. Upon her interview, she gets disowned by her parents for the horrible things she had done, and sent to Juvie.
- Fortunately, things improve for her as soon as she gets to Juvie in the bonus chapter. It's revealed that she gets a letter from her parents after two days with pictures of good memories she had with them when she was younger, the burned disownment papers, and a heartwarming letter, and after two weeks, she gets put under house arrest to a very kind therapist and reconnects with her parents.
- Lack of Empathy: Though she's pretty skilled at faking it.
- Nightmare Fetishist: She was able to watch SAW in full without flinching on a dare.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: She refers to Sasha and Opal with hateful ethnic slurs ... though only in the confessional. And then there is the note she left for Sasha...
- Sex for Services: She has sex with Kasimar (off screen) after he finds the immunity Idol for her as she requested.
- The Sociopath: She effectively pretends to be a friend to Sasha and Eddie. In truth, she was anything but a friend to them.
- Unholy Matrimony: With Kasimar after a few episodes.
- Valley Girl: Intentionally put on.
