* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of his most unethical actions, cheating to eliminate DJ, backfires on him in the long run. DJ had a considerable lead and Team CRRRRH was in last. Turns out that he and Tyler creamed the last run putting them ahead of Team Amazon. Had he just let DJ win the challenge, Heather would've most likely gone home as this was prior to her HeelFaceTurn and she was still packing heat for her behavior in "Anything Yukon Do I Can Do Better", "The Am-AH-Zon Race", and "Broadway Baby". DJ's elimination and Duncan's return allows Heather to slide through the cracks due to the friction of the LoveTriangle and beat him in the finale.

* FatalFlaw: [[UnderestimatingBadassery Underestimating people]]. Due to his extreme narcissism he always believes he's the smartest person in the room, which gives him blind spots whenever other people are underhanded or manipulative. [[{{Foreshadowing}} This was shown twice]] in ''World Tour'' when it was only through sheer luck that he found out that Noah was onto him and that Courtney was sabotaging her own team, and ultimately led to his downfall when Heather used his feelings for her to humiliate him in the finale. This also led to his downfall in ''All-Stars'' when he found out about [[HydePlaysJekyll Mal's true nature]] and grabbing the IdiotBall pretty hard, told him to his face while [[BullyingADragon bragging that he was gonna tell everyone]]. Not only did this cause Mal to instead convince everyone to eliminate him since [[CryingWolf he'd lost all credibility by that point]], he also failed to take into account that Mal was much [[StrongerThanTheyLook stronger than he looked]] and was subjected to a CurbStompBattle preventing him from getting immunity. His second fatal flaw was his love for Heather. As throughout ''World Tour'' he passed up several opportunities to get her eliminated, most notably saving her when she was trapped under a rock, and all of this came to bite him on the ass when she used his feelings to manipulate him in the finale.

Added DiffLines:
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: It takes a while for the other contestants to catch onto his manipulative ways.
* TheAce: Alejandro might be the most prominent example of the "Ace" part, taking it to MasterOfAll levels.
* AchillesHeel: His one weakness is having a very sensitive stomach, which is problematic being on a show like ''Total Drama'', which prides itself on its disgusting food.
* AllAbusersAreMale: During ''World Tour'', he was the one who caused or influenced the eliminations of '''''a collective half''''' of that season's female contestants (mainly through charisma), so it's no surprise as to why almost nobody trusts him (not just those same female victims of his) near the end of that same season.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His big brother José, who had beaten him in practically everything since they were kids. However, Alejandro finally manages to gain the upper hand on him during the ''All-Stars'' boxing challenge.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He showed a lot of HoYay towards Noah as he blatantly flirted with him in the Japan and Newfoundland episodes. However, Alejandro also flirted with several girls before starting a romance with Heather.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:He gets trapped in a robot suit at the end of season three]]. Initially, he is [[spoiler:able to speak through a communication chip but it soon breaks, leaving him unable to communicate to anyone for a year]].
* ArchEnemy:
** To Heather initially, being the only contestant able to match her wit. The two of them clash all season long in ''World Tour'' determined to thwart the other.
** To Owen, though being very one-sided on Alejandro's side. There is no one Alejandro hates more than Owen, resenting him for his disgusting habits, his uselessness, and the fact he keeps [[BerserkButton calling him "Al"]]. Alejandro spends all season long trying to get rid of Owen, leave him behind, or making Owen get hurt out of spite.
* BabysittersNightmare: According to his ''World Tour'' online biography, he's had the ability to sniff out a person's weakness since childhood and used it to get a lot of nannies fired.
* BadassBoast: His first confessional has one of these.
--> '''Alejandro:''' Watch out, Total Drama nerds. The new guy is going all the way to the top.
* TheBadGuyWins: He is the winner of ''World Tour'' in the Canadian ending, [[PyrrhicVictory but he doesn't get his hands on the cash prize as it fell into the volcano and ends up in a robotic body due to the horrible injuries he suffered.]]
* BadSamaritan:
** One of his favorite strategies is charming other contestants, feigning sympathy and kindness, in order to gain their trust before proceeding to backstab them somewhere down the line.
** The best example would be helping DJ overcome his lack of confidence due to the curse, and even appears to cure DJ's curse. This all turns out to be a ruse so that he could secure DJ's allegiance. Once Chris reveals that having DJ change teams and merging was off the table, Alejandro wastes no time in destroying DJ's regained confidence and sabotaging the challenge to eliminate him.
* BarelyChangedDubName: In the Canadian French dub, his name is changed to "Alessandro".
* BeardOfEvil: He has a soul patch, and he's called "the arch villain" for good reason.
* TheBeastMaster: He's very good at controlling wild animals, even Ezekiel in his feral state, at least until "Zeek and Ye Shall Find".
* BeautyIsBad: He's a lying, back-stabbing jerk, but... would you look at those eyes?
* BelligerentSexualTension: Throughout ''World Tour'', Alejandro and Heather butt heads over their competitive nature and desire to be the game's strongest competitor. Throughout this arc, however, it's very clear that they're attracted to one another, in part because they respect each other as rivals. This culminates in [[spoiler:a LoveConfession at the top of the volcano in the finale... but Heather betrays him, causing this arc to continue into ''All-Stars'' until they become an actual lovey-dovey couple in that season's finale.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Despises being called 'Al'. It's one of the main reasons that drives him to hate Owen.
** Hates it when people bring up his brother José, or even say the ''name''.
** Calling any aspect of Heather unattractive (even if it is [[AlphaBitch her personality]]) is a surefire way to get a NoHoldsBarredBeatDown from him, as José finds out in "Suckers Punched".
* BigBad: Of ''World Tour'', stirring up trouble all season by being responsible for eliminating and manipulating other contestants. Nearly every booted contestant can be traced back to Alejandro in some shape or form and ''everyone'' ends up despising him.
%% * BigBadDuumvirate: His on-off teaming up with Heather.
* BigBadFriend: Wholly embodies this trope throughout ''World Tour'', especially with his fellow members of Team Chris. If he's being particularly nice or helpful to a contestant besides them, their days are numbered. Everyone on Team Victory who wasn't named Ezekiel or Lindsay individually learned this the hard way. Comes back to bite him in ''All Stars'' when he's doing relatively little scheming, but people still don't trust his word about a certain other contestant...
* BilingualBonus: His last name means "dead donkey".
* BirdsOfAFeather: As stated many times by characters, he and Heather are perfect for each other, being equally vile and manipulative. They endlessly fought when there was money up for grabs, but once that was out of the way they were all too happy to get together.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's very nice and charming... until he's alone in the confessional and shows his true colors.
* BrokenAce: As cunning and skillful as he is he could never live up to his brother and it left him very insecure.
* TheCasanova: Throughout ''World Tour'', Alejandro would flirt and charm every girl he comes across, either using them to further his own placing or backstabbing them once they have been lured into a false sense of security.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He drops his [[ManipulativeBastard puppet master]] facade in ''All-Stars'' since he has long since been exposed and instead focuses on getting revenge on Heather for humiliating him in the previous season. Though he still remains very strategic and still manages to put some plans into motion despite the lack of trust from others.
* TheCharmer: He's so likable the other contestants--especially the girls--need to repeatedly remind themselves that he's evil.
---> '''Gwen:''' I know he's evil, but...those eyes...
* CheatersNeverProsper: He gets disqualified from the eating contest in "Chinese Fake-Out" after Chris finds out he was secretly giving his food to Courtney.
* TheChessmaster: He has been the almighty puppet master since he first joined the cast, and has been pulling at everyone's strings all the way to the end. Which is very symbolically well put in his VillainSong ''This Is How We Will End It''.
* ChickMagnet: He invokes this in his gameplay. He's so charismatic and attractive, he was able to manipulate almost every female character in the season by flirting with them, either throwing them off their game or using their alliance to get him ahead.
* ChildProdigy: He did stunts in a child circus.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The first BigBad to be both a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] with [[ManipulativeBastard strategic smarts]], while also being [[FauxAffablyEvil polite and charming]] and possessing a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good reputation among his fellow contestants]]. His predecessors were either strategic but disliked by others (Heather and Courtney), or well-liked by everyone but have little in the way of cunning (Justin).
* CryingWolf: Due to his history as a ManipulativeBastard, no one believes him when he tries to warn the other contestants about Mal in ''All-Stars''.
* DashingHispanic: A proud Spaniard, who's a MasterOfAll and one of the deadliest contestants on the show.
* DemotedToDragon: Invoked by Chris, when he and Heather are brought back in the All-Stars finale as Mal's helpers, although they're too busy being SickeningSweethearts to really be much help to Mal.
* TheDogBitesBack: Alejandro was constantly subjected to bullying by his older brother Jose, turning him into what he is today. In "Suckers Punched," he finally snaps and starts to beat the crap out of his brother for all those years, with the added bonus of winning a point for his team.
* DubNameChange: In the Canadian French version Alejandro is known as Alessandro, which is more Italian than Spanish.
* EarlyPersonalitySigns: He's not just an exceptionally smooth, athletic, and talented teenager, but a charismatic and underhanded ChildProdigy. He was in a child circus for his gymnastic ability, smooth-talked his school bus driver into letting him drive, and exploited his nannies' weaknesses to run them out numerous times.
* EmbarrassingLastName: His last name "Burromuerto" is Spanish for "dead donkey," which is pointed out and mocked in ''All-Stars''.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In spite of everything that's happened between them ([[spoiler:including him eliminating Heather as revenge for the humiliation he suffered during the finale of ''World Tour'']]), it's clear that Alejandro loves Heather to the point that calling ''any'' aspect of her unattractive is a major BerserkButton of his.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a manipulative villain who'd gladly backstab anybody, Alejandro dislikes the idea of senseless violence and occasionally shows genuine concern over wounded or otherwise incapacitated contestants. In accordance with this, he's expressed horror and disgust at the cruelty of some of his fellow antagonists.
--> '''Alejandro:''' ''(to Chris)'' You are pure evil!
--> '''Alejandro:''' Mal does not belong in juvie...he belongs in ''jail!''
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: To the point that Tyler (who is very much in love with his girlfriend Lindsay) enters a panicked bout of HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday if Alejandro so much as touches him.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His feelings for Heather became rather obvious later on, with everybody in the cast (and Chris) pointing it out.
* EvilGenius: He is one of the most intelligent contestants on the show, with an IQ of 163. He especially fills this role for the Villainous Vultures in ''All-Stars''.
--> '''Heather:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Wow Alejandro! You're so smart]]!
* EvilLaugh: He somehow manages to make even this sound sexy.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably higher in ''All-Stars'' paralleling how significantly less evil he is this season, although this may not have been intentional, as it was due to his VA being replaced.
* EvilerThanThou: In his debut, he declares that he's so evil that even Heather seems like a saint when compared to him. He's correct for the most part, but his underestimation of Heather's ruthlessness would eventually lead to [[spoiler:his defeat in the ''World Tour'' finale]].
* EvilVersusEvil:
** In the ''World Tour'' finale, he clashes with [[spoiler: his arch-enemy/turned-lover Heather, although at this stage due to Heather's HazyFeelTurn it's more like:]]
---> '''Harold:''' Now it's Evil VS Wicked!
** In ''All-Stars'', he ends up clashing with [[spoiler: Mal, with Alejandro trying to reveal Mal's existence to other competitors]], but he has little success [[CryingWolf because of his reputation as "the most manipulative player in Total Drama history".]]
* ExBigBad: The most prominent example other than Heather. During ''World Tour'', Alejandro proved himself to be the nastiest ''Total Drama'' villain of all time, manipulating and backstabbing his way through the season all the way to the finale, and having a hand in ''almost'' everyone's eliminations. Come ''All-Stars'', unsurprisingly there is '''no one''' who trusts him due to his heinous past. This causes trouble for him once [[EvilerThanThou a threat greater than him]] emerges in the form of Mal. Being one of the few characters [[DevilInPlainSight aware of Mal's true nature]], Alejandro's attempts to warn everyone else falls on mostly deaf ears with everyone believing he's CryingWolf.
* EyepatchOfPower: He has to wear an eyepatch in "The Am-AH-Zon Race".
* FalseFriend: Alejandro isn't above feigning friendships to get ahead, and it's the core way he manipulates his male targets to trust him. For example, he provides DJ with an Egyptian-eye-marked fish as a good luck charm, claiming to have his best interests in mind so DJ will ally with him. When it doesn't work out, Alejandro reveals to Tyler (deliberately within earshot of DJ) that he drew a fake symbol on the fish, shattering DJ's newfound luck and confidence, all while claiming he just wanted to make DJ feel better.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Presents himself as a polite and friendly gentleman to hide his cruel and ruthless nature.
* FightingTheLancer: On [[OverlyLongName Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot]]; Alejandro clashes with [[TheLancer Lancers]] Noah and Duncan, who both see through him to his true nature and pose as threats to him. However, the [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] manages to come out victorious on both occasions and successfully orchestrates their eliminations.
* FlawExploitation: He takes pride in his talent to sniff out someone's weakness and immediately exploit it. As shown in "Greece's Pieces", as soon as he senses animosity between Duncan, Gwen and Tyler, he immediately goes to every effort to find out what it is, so that he can use it to his advantage.
* {{Foil}}:
** He is essentially a SpearCounterpart to Heather. Both being the BigBad of a season and [[TheChessmaster orchestrated numerous eliminations]], while forming several alliances to safeguard their place in the game. However unlike Heather, who was an AlphaBitch who governed her alliances through fear and earned a bad reputation for herself, Alejandro's approach involved winning over the trust of others by [[BitchInSheepsClothing feigning kindness]] and kept his true nature hidden from the public. As Noah puts it, he's basically Heather but with social skills.
** To Owen. Aside from both being male finalists, they are otherwise as different as night and day, which is little wonder why Alejandro despises Owen so much. Owen is an AllLovingHero and an all-round BigFun NiceGuy who is adored by all. Alejandro is a BigBadFriend who ''pretends'' to be a gentle soul, but in reality this is an act and he cares for no one but himself and winning. Owen is an unathletic [[TheDitz ditz]] with an occasional challenge he excels at (most notably [[BigEater eating]]), Alejandro is TheAce and an EvilGenius who [[MasterOfAll excels at everything]] and on rare occasion shows a weakness (notably having a weak stomach to disgusting food). Owen went into the finale surrounded by friends with the majority rooting for him, while Alejandro's finale had almost no one supporting him (save for a few girls still under his charms) and with everyone yearning for his downfall.
** To Duncan, who he is a near perfect opposite of. Duncan maintains a tough, hostile exterior but scratch the surface and you'll find a softer caring side. Alejandro puts on a [[FauxAffablyEvil charming act]] to hide a vileness underneath. Duncan starts off alienating everyone with his intimidating [[TheBully bully]] act, but soon garnered quite a lot of friends after they got to know him. Alejandro was initially adored by everyone, sans Heather, before he betrayed each of them one by one until he was left with no one but Heather. Further contrasts are seen with their relationship with Owen: while Duncan is one of Owen's best buddies, Alejandro came to despise Owen from the start. Duncan also gets along well with his brothers, while Alejandro had a BigBrotherBully and it's implied this SiblingRivalry is part of his FreudianExcuse.
** To Harold of all people. Both of them possess[[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands a wide array of bizarre but useful talents that they tend to pull out of nowhere to help their teams win challenges]] (usually justified with a short anecdote about their backstories). Still, while Harold is a SociallyAwkwardHero who unintentionally annoyed his teammates while (usually) being heroic and well-intentioned, Alejandro is a TheCharmer and extremely popular with his teammates, and ruthless and villainous. Harold's good qualities win him the respect and appreciation of his teammates, while Alejandro's negative qualities gain him the hatred of almost everyone on the show.
** To Justin, both are highly good looking and [[TheCharmer charismatic]], [[EatingTheEyeCandy and gain intense reactions]] from [[EvenTheGuysWantHim everyone they meet]]. They both but on [[FauxAffablyEvil polite, affable facades]] to hide their highly manipulative and narcissistic personalities, but Justin's spent his whole life coasting on his looks and never developed any skills or intellect, Alejandro on the other hand is TheAce, he's basically what Justin would have been if he'd ever had to work for anything in his life.
** To Courtney, they're both highly driven, overly competitive perfectionists who are controlling, narcissistic and secretly very insecure. But Courtney has NoSocialSkills and easily makes others hate her just by thinking only of herself and never taking others' feelings into account whereas Alejandro is highly manipulative and will often convince people he's their friend and looking out for their best interests while in reality using them for his own purposes. Courtney sees herself as a good person and doesn't understand why others don't like her whereas Alejandro prides himself on being [[EvilerThanThou the evilest person in the room.]]
* ForeignLanguageTirade: He speaks his native language when he is frustrated.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A couple of elements related to him were alluded to some of the episodes of ''World Tour'' before each of them would be later revealed:
** He throws up in "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan" after eating a candy fish tail indicating that he has a low tolerance for strange food. This ends up being a plot point during the eating contest challenge in "Chinese Fake-Out".
** Owen was one of the few contestants he had a personal dislike towards due to constantly calling him "Al" and "perverting" his name. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:it was his brother Jose's personal nickname for him that he tormented him with]].
*** In "Suckers Punched", he would have to face Jose in his boxing match.
** During the song "Wake Up", one of his singing lines is "''Loser'' is what the lion called you, when you couldn't find your balls". While he actually meant the tranq(uilizer) balls, as he stated later, this also foreshadows [[spoiler:'''''his ultimate comeuppance''''' from Heather by kneeing him right at '''his "kiwis"''', and that he ''never'' gets the million-dollar prize physically on either of the season-finale endings of ''World Tour'' (in addition to that, not only he got trampled by the other contestants, but he also got ''severely'' burnt by lava)]].
* FreudianExcuse: His father taught him how to be manipulative, his mother taught him how to win over girls, and his older brother's mocking of him gave him his obsessive, competitive nature.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: A very interesting twist on his character. While he usually [[FalseFriend feigns friendship]] with nearly every contestant, up until they outlive their usefulness and he betrays them, he does have an unusual handle over animals. See TheBeastMaster above.
* GoodHairEvilHair: His soul patch fits him being a NobleDemon, especially in ''Total Drama All-Stars''.
* GracefulLoser:
** He politely concedes defeat the several occasions where Heather has bested him in ''World Tour'', viewing her as a WorthyOpponent.
** While he is annoyed that he gets voted off in ''All-Stars'', Alejandro still tries to warn the others about Mal's presence.
* HandicappedBadass: He spends the majority of ''All-Stars'' walking on his hands, at first because he truly can't use his legs and later as a ruse to keep the others' guard down. Even if the handicap is self-imposed, it still means he's without legs and in this state still manages to pull off some impressive feats, such as walking across a tightrope on just his hands and saving Heather on said tightrope.
* HandyFeet: He drives a bus with his feet in "[[Recap/TotalDramaCelebrityManhuntsTDAReunionShow Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show]]".
* HatedByAll: Beginning at the end of ''World Tour'', almost every other contestant (even Heather) started to instantly distrust him due to his very deceptive personality.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Although he didn't technically turn good in ''All-Stars'' Alejandro's focus shifted from winning the game to simply outlasting Heather. Once this goal is achieved, he drops his villain-status in favor of trying to convince everyone that there's a greater threat looming, Mal. Unfortunately, [[CryingWolf his reputation as a liar precedes him, so everyone assumes he's just making stuff up]].
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler: The finale of ''World Tour'': he's about to win by tossing the sacrifice into the volcano, he sees Heather cry out in frustration, Alejandro gets Heather to admit she loves him, he admits the same only to fall for a [[GroinAttack kiwi shot]] by Heather, who then pushes Alejandro down the volcano on a block of ice. When he reaches the bottom he's trampled by everyone running away from the eruption, he is caught in the lava flow, and after the end credits he's put in the Robot from Celebrity Manhunt Special to become "Darth Alejandro"]]. He then stays that way for at least a year.
* {{Hunk}}: He replaces Justin as the goto MrFanservice, being a charming ChickMagnet and given plenty of WalkingShirtlessScene. Courtney even calls him "Ale-hunk-dro" at one point.
* ICantFeelMyLegs: Being in that robot for a season made his legs numb. However, in "Evil Dread", he regained the use of his legs, and he attempts to scream discreetly after a crab pinches his foot.
* IMeantToDoThat: Whenever Alejandro screws up, or loses, he'll give a long-winded explanation of how it was [[JustAsPlanned all according to plan.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He is good-looking, charming, villainous, and isn't afraid to show it, yet he still feels inferior to his older brother Jose, even saying at one point "Jose alway wins."
* InSeriesNickname: Has a long list given to him by other contestants, they are as follows:[[note]]
** Al (by Owen, Cody, Courtney, Mal, Chris, and José)
** Ale-handout, Ale-kazam, Ale-hand...bro (by Owen)
** Ale-whatever, [[EyepatchOfPower Pirate Pablo]], José, Blah-lejandro, Eviljandro (by Heather)
** Ale-{{Hunk}}-dro, [[{{Pun}} Alejandro-row-row]] (by Courtney)
** Ale-heinous (by Bridgette)
** Ale-jerk-dro (by Geoff)
** Ale-drag-dro (by Noah)
** Fabul-andro (by Blaineley)
** La Cucaracha (by Duncan)
** Jalapeño (by Lindsay)
** Leggy [=McLatin=], Ale-handwalker (by Jo)
** Ale-whatever (by Scott)
** Ale-jerk-o (by Chris)
[[/note]]
* IronicName: His name is basically a Hispanic version of the name "Alexander", which etymologically speaking, means "defender of man", yet Alejandro himself '''''hardly''''' cares for almost anyone (including his fellow, and later former Team Chris members, and even Heather).
* {{Irony}}:
** He's known for seducing a couple of ladies in ''World Tour'' for competitive and malicious reasons, but [[spoiler:his chances for obtaining the million-dollar prize in that same season, whichever the ending, were hindered by Heather, who uses his romantic feelings for her to her own advantage, mainly via hitting him at his kiwis]].
** In ''All-Stars'', him causing Heather's elimination (with the use of an Invincibility Statue) is what further led to his eventual downfall during that same season (since he's known for engineering the majority of the eliminations in ''World Tour''), especially at its midway, when he's trying to warn others about Mal's presence inside of Mike.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a greedy, self-centered rat bastard who will feign friendship and attraction to win. On rare occasions, he will show a hint of compassion in his "tiny black heart", which is mainly reserved for Heather.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty:
** [[spoiler: After [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating people (especially the girls)]] for most of the season, he ultimately loses because a girl [[ManipulativeBitch manipulates HIS feelings]]]].
** It's traditional in this show for an ExBigBad's second season to be one long HumiliationConga. Alejandro generally avoided this in his second season, even getting in two pretty big wins, giving his brother a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and getting Heather eliminated as revenge for her defeating him (leading to the two of them hooking up later). Then it hits him hard in [[Recap/TotalDramaTheObstaKillCourse The Obsta-Kill Course]], by the end of the episode after spending the day as [[VilerNewVillain Mal's]] whipping boy, he looks [[BreakTheHaughty utterly defeated]] like a child who's been grounded. A big contrast to how he was [[AngstWhatAngst after he got out of the Drama Machine.]]
* KarmicButtMonkey: Not as often as previous and subsequent antagonists but he has his moments of receiving slapstick and humiliation. Especially if he spends to much time around Owen, Heather or Mal.
* KickTheDog:
** Seriously, tricking DJ into believing his curse was lifted to have him regain his confidence, only to [[YankTheDogsChain knock him back down, and rigging the course so he'd lose because he had outlived his usefulness?]] Harsh, man.
** His treatment of [[NiceGuy Owen]] throughout World Tour is a major source of these moments for him. While he is a ManipulativeBastard to most of the other contestants through and through, he seems to regard it as NothingPersonal for almost all of them. For example, he seemed to have no ill will towards Bridgette, Leshawna, and Harold, and [[PragmaticVillainy only manipulated them because it got him further in the game]]. By contrast, with Owen he treats it as ItsPersonal and frequently humiliates him just ForTheEvulz (ex: his hypnosis spell that made Owen embarrass himself repeatedly throughout an episode), condescends him constantly (ex: the insult-compliment he gives Owen when he helps the team, which even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Duncan]] calls him out on), takes great pleasure in seeing him get hurt [[TheBully (one confessional is him laughing hysterically at Owen getting a major injury)]], and is generally a huge JerkAss toward him. He's even the one to literally kick him out of the plane when he gets eliminated. And unlike the other contestants, this behavior is simply EvilIsPetty because it never gets him any strategic advantage. Granted, Owen was unintentionally pressing his BerserkButton, but still...
* LadykillerInLove: Despite all his manipulations with the female contestants, it later became obvious that Alejandro was genuinely falling in love with Heather.
* LatinLover: Every girl finds him irresistible, even ones who are already in relationships. In fact it is so effective that it still exerts influence on some girls even when he has revealed his true nature and betrayed them, where they have to constantly remind themselves that he's evil. He is very proud of his Hispanic heritage, which seems to make him even more appealing to girls.
* TheLeader: For all his underhandedness, he does make a legitimately capable and helpful leader of Team Chris. If he weren't out only for himself, Team Chris could've reached the merge with barely any losses.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Spanish music, reminiscent of the theme from {{Franchise/Zorro}}.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In ''All-Stars'' he ultimately realizes that Mal is [[EvilerThanThou even more evil than himself]], which leads him to become a NominalHero in "The Obsta-Kill Kourse" where he attempts to warn the others of the greater evil and get Mal eliminated.
--> '''Alejandro''': But I am not the true villain, a greater evil is lurking.
* LoveIsAWeakness: He knows this fully well, and uses this to exploit every girl in ''World Tour''. Ironically he ends up falling for it himself.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: His tactic for eliminating several of the females. And then he himself fell victim to this in "Hawaiian Punch".
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Heather's masculine girl. Alejandro is sweet-talking, polite, and less prone to being aggressive when manipulating people. Heather is ruthless, rude, and has no trouble attacking people in order to get what she wants.
* MasterOfAll: He seems to be talented at '''everything''', which he always explains as being due to [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower having certain relatives who specialize in an area]].
* ManipulativeBastard: The only eliminations that Alejandro ''didn't'' have a hand in during ''World Tour'' was Ezekiel's, Lindsay's, Izzy's, Sierra's, and Heather's. He also manipulated Courtney and tried to get rid of Gwen, despite not being the direct cause of their eliminations, and makes up for his failure to eliminate Heather by making it his only goal in ''All-Stars''.
* TheMasochismTango: With Heather. He and Heather ''literally'' tango, on top of a train, while singing about how much they hate each other in "Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles".
-->''You are the worst, why must you torment me?/ It's all a game to you, but not to me...''
* MrFanservice: Has anyone counted how many times he's ripped off his shirt? See ShirtlessScene below.
* MuppetCameo: During "This is How We Will End It", he controls a Muppet version of himself.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His contestant title is "The Arch Villain".
* NearVillainVictory: In the US ending of ''World Tour'' where he comes literally inches away from throwing his pineapple sacrifice into the volcano and securing victory. In the Canadian ending, [[TheBadGuyWins he straight up wins]], albeit by technicality. However, in neither ending does he so much as gets to touch the prize money [[PyrrhicVictory due to it being burned in the volcano]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Probably the epitome of this trope. As he very frequently has some new skill to help in almost any specific challenge which he will explain that a family member has.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Out of the final three members of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, he's the mean to Owen's nice and Duncan's in-between.
* NobleDemon:
** He isn't evil for the sake of being evil, and [[PunchClockVillain only does it for the prize money]]. He also has a code of honor which he abides by, and has shown rare glimpses of sympathy as he did with Heather, and will [[EvenEvilHasStandards only go so far]].
** It's also apparently a family code to never hit the face. Despite hating his older brother, Jose with a passion they never hit each other in the face during the boxing challenge landing body shots instead.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: To Duncan's roguish. Played with as he is more villainous than Duncan.
* NominalHero: In "The Obsta-kill Course", he tries to take down Mal, but only to further his own agenda.
* NotInTheFace: When José and Alejandro fight each other in "Suckers Punched", they only exchange body blows, as it's in their family code to never hit the face of their opponent in a fight.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's constantly telling people about his various family members, what they do and the skills he learned from them. So Heather's pretty shocked when she finds out he has an [[BigBrotherBully older brother]] he's never mentioned.
* PersonAsVerb: He occasionally does this, like in "Rapa-Phooey" when he states the Condor is "two Alejandros' long."
* PetTheDog: Despite being one of the most ruthless contestants, he surprisingly has quite a few legit NobleDemon moments:
** In ''Can't Help Falling In Lovure'', he helps Cody hide from Sierra, even guarding him while he used the bathroom.
** During the Area 51 episode he keeps his word to Duncan and votes Tyler off when backstabbing Duncan would have been more beneficial to his game.
** When Heather gets hit by a boulder and wedged in a hole, he at first considers leaving her there until getting a "tremor" in his tiny black heart and rescuing her (the fact that he is in love with her definitely helped), near the end episode he shields her when the plane blows up and rushes to Sierra's side after her injury.
** He offers to save Cameron while he's hanging over a cliff, only leaving him there when Cameron makes it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with him.
* PickyEater: Shown as a weakness in "Chinese Fake-Out." He tries to use Courtney to get around it until he gets caught.
* PoorlyTimedConfession: He invokes this several times to mess with the other team:
** In "Newf Kids on the Rock", a cursed DJ has to kiss a fish for a challenge and he notices that the fish has an Egyptian symbol on it. Alejandro tells him that that kissing the fish will break his Egyptian curse, but by the end of the episode, it's revealed that Alejandro drew the symbol on the fish. In "Jamaica Me Sweat", with DJ believes that the curse is lifted, he starts doing well in the competition and he believes he can win. But when Alejandro "accidentally" confessed to Tyler about the truth about the fish with DJ standing behind him, DJ starts doing poorly and eventually gets eliminated.
** In "Greece's Pieces", he invokes Tyler into doing this during the competition to create a rift between Gwen and Courtney, who were starting to become friends. Tyler witnessed [[spoiler: Duncan and Gwen kissing each other despite Duncan being in a relationship with Courtney. Before the tiebreaker match can begin, when Tyler reveals the kiss to everyone, Courtney became furious at Gwen. And while their team won the challenge, Courtney began trying to sabotage her own team into losing so she can vote Gwen off.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: Alejandro repeatedly acts kindly towards and protects his teammates--not because he cares, but because he needs them around for his strategy.
* {{Pride}}: He's a narcissistic and egotistical {{Schemer}}, kinda like Justin but more successful in his attempts to seduce women just to screw them over and he pretty much takes a lot of pride in it.
* PunnyName: Possibly. As pointed out on [[{{WMG/TotalDrama}} the WMG page]], "Burromuerto" combined with the nickname "Al" might be a reference to the Spanish saying ''"al burro muerto, cebada al rabo"'' (which roughly translates to "tying barley to a dead donkey's tail"). It means that you should enjoy life while it lasts, because you won't have things such as fame, glory, or wealth when you are dead.
* PyrrhicVictory: In [[spoiler:his ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:he technically wins the competition, but both he and the money still get burned and he gets put into the robot suit]].
* RedOniBlueOni:
** He's the blue to Duncan's red when they team up in ''World Tour''.
** He's also the red to his brother José's blue, [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience as reflected by their shirt colors]].
** In his relationship with Heather. He is the blue to her red. This is emphasized in the final song of ''World Tour'' when they face each other.
* RomanticFalseLead: To Geoff/Bridgette, Tyler/Lindsay, Harold/Leshawna and Courtney/Duncan.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan:
** Sensitive Guy to Duncan and Scott's Manly Men, being more refined and less likely to be purposefully rude.
** He's the Manly Man to Justin's Sensitive Guy, being more physically adept and ruthless.
* ShirtlessScene: He lends his shirt to Bridgette in "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better", and rips it off for no apparent reason at the start of the "Sweden Sour" challenge, much to Heather and Courtney's joy, and Duncan's confusion, though Sierra remains unaffected due to being [[SingleTargetSexuality Cody-sexual]].
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Heather when they finally get together in the ''All-Stars'' finale.
* SillyWalk: He uses his hands for movement in ''All-Stars'', [[spoiler:that is until he gets voted off, in which point he drops the act, stands up, and walks to Heather, ''and'' he uses the immunity idol he stole from her, eliminating Heather in his place]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: He is this to Mal when he [[spoiler:creates a DVD of him committing evil acts and hides it in the hotel for someone to find (which Zoey eventually does).]]
* SpearCounterpart: Of Heather, as he is the first BigBad since the Queen of Mean herself, who is able to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate the entire cast with ease]], and [[TheChessmaster control the entire game by orchestrating a long line of eliminations]].
** Noah lampshades the similarities between him and his female predecessor when attempting to caution Owen.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Aside from the usual suspects, he is one of the most focused-on contestants in ''World Tour''. A lot of this is due to the fact that he's the season's main antagonist and Heather's long-awaited canonical love interest. This continues even to ''All-Stars'', where he places [[spoiler:6th, only behind the five main characters of the season]], even though his almost only role in the season is getting his revenge on Heather, which he accomplishes and lasts several episodes after.
* StrongAndSkilled: Alejandro is an athletic powerhouse capable of scaling pyramids with ease and standing on his hands for long periods of time, and is a manipulative mastermind able to orchestrate the downfall of several of the other contestants.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To Heather. Both are [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] examples of TheChessmaster, but Alejandro racked up an even higher elimination count for his debut season. Also unlike Heather, who most of the time tends to be a SmugSnake not even bothering to hide her nastiness, Alejandro knew how to play a good social game, which made him more competent in the long run, becoming the first (and only) main villain to make it to the finale in their debut season.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Justin, except unlike the BrainlessBeauty, Alejandro is actually smart.
* TemptingFate: "I demand to get what's coming to me!", right before he [[LaserGuidedKarma gets trampled on]]. [[spoiler: (At least, during his own ending in ''World Tour''.)]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: On Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A, which is pretty simple enough to be said here for a guy who's mostly meant to be Heather's masculine counterpart.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:At the end of ''All-Stars'', after Camp Wawanakwa sinks, Alejandro, alongside Heather, swims away to escape from Fang, but is never seen again afterwards due to no more seasons featuring members of the original cast being produced, and considering that his status has no mentions at all in the seventh season due to no previous contestants making physical cameos after the fifteen year TimeSkip, certainly doesn't make his chances of survival look good.]]
* UnfortunateName: His surname "Burromuerto" is Spanish for "dead donkey". Chris knows this and makes big bucks off this.
* UnholyMatrimony: Eventually develops this with Heather.
* UnknownRival: There is no one Alejandro hates more than Owen, but for the most part Owen is blissfully unaware of how Alejandro truly feels about him.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: He's trapped in the Drama Machine for a year.
* VillainDecay: ''All-Stars'' has him reduced from a [[ManipulativeBastard puppeteer]], [[ChickMagnet chick magnet]] to a borderline {{Expy}} of Justin. However, this becomes downplayed as, unlike most of the other contestants, he does still show moments of cunning, and with the exception of Mal and debatably Heather, is the only contestant to truly act villainous.
* TheVillainSucksSong: He has two:
** The first one is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKzTVc1N9AA "Sisters"]], which is about Leshawna signing about how she's going to get her revenge on Alejandro for messing with her head and causing her elimination.
** The second one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi5U9REm4AI "Versus"]] is both a VillainSong and TheVillainSucksSong at the same time since it's about him and [[AlphaBitch Heather]] singing about how they are going to win and taking constant jabs at each other while doing so.
* VillainProtagonist: In "The Obsta-Kill Kourse" after finding about Mal, though he did slide into NominalHero territory.
* VillainousBreakdown: He really doesn't like being called Al. It all comes to a head in the season three finale, where it's revealed his deep hatred for being called Al is related to the fact that his older brother bullies him. Of course, after finding this out, Cody uses it to torment him.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His weak stomach when eating foods that are disgusting or unhealthy, which is a handicap on a show where gross food-eating challenges are practically a rite of passage.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Some of the girls have commented on his eyes, and he even exploits this trope. "Evil Dread" treats the audience to a close-up of his face while he tries to work his magic on Gwen. Gwen goes on to confess that she knows he's evil, but his eyes still have an effect on her.
* WickedCultured: Alejandro is knowledgeable in pop culture and trivial facts, and is greatly concerned for his personal health by staying away from nasty foods, often worrying about his body image.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Heather. In the ''All-Stars'' season finale, they finally do, though they still retain their competitive natures.
* WorthyOpponent: To Heather. He acknowledges that she's a formidable adversary and enjoys competing against her in challenges, he also doesn't take it personally when she [[OutGambitted out-gambits him]]. Heather even invokes this to get Alejandro to help her out of a hole.
--> '''Heather:''' Please, Alejandro. You and I have been the greatest adversaries this game has ever seen! Is this how you wanna win it -- because I got jammed into a pit by a stupid rock? Is that the victory you want!?
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In ''All-Stars'', after being released from the robotic body, [[ICantFeelMyLegs Alejandro's legs don't work properly at first]]. They eventually heal and regain their strength but he still pretends to be injured to make Heather feel guilty and to keep the other Villainous Vultures from seeing him as a threat.

->"''What's wrong with you people?! This is "Total Drama," '''not''' "Total Forgive and Forget"!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Carla Collins
->'''Placements:''' 6th/7th (TDWT)
->'''Eliminated in:''' [[Recap/TotalDramaChineseFakeOut Episode 20]] (TDWT)
A conceited personality who cares only about being in the spotlight and digging up celebrity-related dirt and gossip. Blaineley was a co-host on ''Celebrity Manhunt'', but joined ''World Tour'''s ''Aftermath'' show as Geoff's co-host (since Bridgette was competing). However, events conspire to put her in the competition against her will.
----
* TheAce: Alejandro might be the most prominent example of the "Ace" part, taking it to MasterOfAll levels.
* AchillesHeel: His one weakness is having a very sensitive stomach, which is problematic being on a show like ''Total Drama'', which prides itself on its disgusting food.
* AllAbusersAreMale: During ''World Tour'', he was the one who caused or influenced the eliminations of '''''a collective half''''' of that season's female contestants (mainly through charisma), so it's no surprise as to why almost nobody trusts him (not just those same female victims of his) near the end of that same season.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His big brother José, who had beaten him in practically everything since they were kids. However, Alejandro finally manages to gain the upper hand on him during the ''All-Stars'' boxing challenge.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He showed a lot of HoYay towards Noah as he blatantly flirted with him in the Japan and Newfoundland episodes. However, Alejandro also flirted with several girls before starting a romance with Heather.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:He gets trapped in a robot suit at the end of season three]]. Initially, he is [[spoiler:able to speak through a communication chip but it soon breaks, leaving him unable to communicate to anyone for a year]].
* ArchEnemy:
** To Heather initially, being the only contestant able to match her wit. The two of them clash all season long in ''World Tour'' determined to thwart the other.
** To Owen, though being very one-sided on Alejandro's side. There is no one Alejandro hates more than Owen, resenting him for his disgusting habits, his uselessness, and the fact he keeps [[BerserkButton calling him "Al"]]. Alejandro spends all season long trying to get rid of Owen, leave him behind, or making Owen get hurt out of spite.
* BabysittersNightmare: According to his ''World Tour'' online biography, he's had the ability to sniff out a person's weakness since childhood and used it to get a lot of nannies fired.
* BadassBoast: His first confessional has one of these.
--> '''Alejandro:''' Watch out, Total Drama nerds. The new guy is going all the way to the top.
* TheBadGuyWins: He is the winner of ''World Tour'' in the Canadian ending, [[PyrrhicVictory but he doesn't get his hands on the cash prize as it fell into the volcano and ends up in a robotic body due to the horrible injuries he suffered.]]
* BadSamaritan:
** One of his favorite strategies is charming other contestants, feigning sympathy and kindness, in order to gain their trust before proceeding to backstab them somewhere down the line.
** The best example would be helping DJ overcome his lack of confidence due to the curse, and even appears to cure DJ's curse. This all turns out to be a ruse so that he could secure DJ's allegiance. Once Chris reveals that having DJ change teams and merging was off the table, Alejandro wastes no time in destroying DJ's regained confidence and sabotaging the challenge to eliminate him.
* BarelyChangedDubName: In the Canadian French dub, his name is changed to "Alessandro".
* BeardOfEvil: He has a soul patch, and he's called "the arch villain" for good reason.
* TheBeastMaster: He's very good at controlling wild animals, even Ezekiel in his feral state, at least until "Zeek and Ye Shall Find".
* BeautyIsBad: He's a lying, back-stabbing jerk, but... would you look at those eyes?
* BelligerentSexualTension: Throughout ''World Tour'', Alejandro and Heather butt heads over their competitive nature and desire to be the game's strongest competitor. Throughout this arc, however, it's very clear that they're attracted to one another, in part because they respect each other as rivals. This culminates in [[spoiler:a LoveConfession at the top of the volcano in the finale... but Heather betrays him, causing this arc to continue into ''All-Stars'' until they become an actual lovey-dovey couple in that season's finale.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Despises being called 'Al'. It's one of the main reasons that drives him to hate Owen.
** Hates it when people bring up his brother José, or even say the ''name''.
** Calling any aspect of Heather unattractive (even if it is [[AlphaBitch her personality]]) is a surefire way to get a NoHoldsBarredBeatDown from him, as José finds out in "Suckers Punched".
* BigBad: Of ''World Tour'', stirring up trouble all season by being responsible for eliminating and manipulating other contestants. Nearly every booted contestant can be traced back to Alejandro in some shape or form and ''everyone'' ends up despising him.
%% * BigBadDuumvirate: His on-off teaming up with Heather.
* BigBadFriend: Wholly embodies this trope throughout ''World Tour'', especially with his fellow members of Team Chris. If he's being particularly nice or helpful to a contestant besides them, their days are numbered. Everyone on Team Victory who wasn't named Ezekiel or Lindsay individually learned this the hard way. Comes back to bite him in ''All Stars'' when he's doing relatively little scheming, but people still don't trust his word about a certain other contestant...
* BilingualBonus: His last name means "dead donkey".
* BirdsOfAFeather: As stated many times by characters, he and Heather are perfect for each other, being equally vile and manipulative. They endlessly fought when there was money up for grabs, but once that was out of the way they were all too happy to get together.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's very nice and charming... until he's alone in the confessional and shows his true colors.
* BrokenAce: As cunning and skillful as he is he could never live up to his brother and it left him very insecure.
* TheCasanova: Throughout ''World Tour'', Alejandro would flirt and charm every girl he comes across, either using them to further his own placing or backstabbing them once they have been lured into a false sense of security.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He drops his [[ManipulativeBastard puppet master]] facade in ''All-Stars'' since he has long since been exposed and instead focuses on getting revenge on Heather for humiliating him in the previous season. Though he still remains very strategic and still manages to put some plans into motion despite the lack of trust from others.
* TheCharmer: He's so likable the other contestants--especially the girls--need to repeatedly remind themselves that he's evil.
---> '''Gwen:''' I know he's evil, but...those eyes...
* CheatersNeverProsper: He gets disqualified from the eating contest in "Chinese Fake-Out" after Chris finds out he was secretly giving his food to Courtney.
* TheChessmaster: He has been the almighty puppet master since he first joined the cast, and has been pulling at everyone's strings all the way to the end. Which is very symbolically well put in his VillainSong ''This Is How We Will End It''.
* ChickMagnet: He invokes this in his gameplay. He's so charismatic and attractive, he was able to manipulate almost every female character in the season by flirting with them, either throwing them off their game or using their alliance to get him ahead.
* ChildProdigy: He did stunts in a child circus.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The first BigBad to be both a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] with [[ManipulativeBastard strategic smarts]], while also being [[FauxAffablyEvil polite and charming]] and possessing a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good reputation among his fellow contestants]]. His predecessors were either strategic but disliked by others (Heather and Courtney), or well-liked by everyone but have little in the way of cunning (Justin).
* CryingWolf: Due to his history as a ManipulativeBastard, no one believes him when he tries to warn the other contestants about Mal in ''All-Stars''.
* DashingHispanic: A proud Spaniard, who's a MasterOfAll and one of the deadliest contestants on the show.
* DemotedToDragon: Invoked by Chris, when he and Heather are brought back in the All-Stars finale as Mal's helpers, although they're too busy being SickeningSweethearts to really be much help to Mal.
* TheDogBitesBack: Alejandro was constantly subjected to bullying by his older brother Jose, turning him into what he is today. In "Suckers Punched," he finally snaps and starts to beat the crap out of his brother for all those years, with the added bonus of winning a point for his team.
* DubNameChange: In the Canadian French version Alejandro is known as Alessandro, which is more Italian than Spanish.
* EarlyPersonalitySigns: He's not just an exceptionally smooth, athletic, and talented teenager, but a charismatic and underhanded ChildProdigy. He was in a child circus for his gymnastic ability, smooth-talked his school bus driver into letting him drive, and exploited his nannies' weaknesses to run them out numerous times.
* EmbarrassingLastName: His last name "Burromuerto" is Spanish for "dead donkey," which is pointed out and mocked in ''All-Stars''.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In spite of everything that's happened between them ([[spoiler:including him eliminating Heather as revenge for the humiliation he suffered during the finale of ''World Tour'']]), it's clear that Alejandro loves Heather to the point that calling ''any'' aspect of her unattractive is a major BerserkButton of his.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a manipulative villain who'd gladly backstab anybody, Alejandro dislikes the idea of senseless violence and occasionally shows genuine concern over wounded or otherwise incapacitated contestants. In accordance with this, he's expressed horror and disgust at the cruelty of some of his fellow antagonists.
--> '''Alejandro:''' ''(to Chris)'' You are pure evil!
--> '''Alejandro:''' Mal does not belong in juvie...he belongs in ''jail!''
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: To the point that Tyler (who is very much in love with his girlfriend Lindsay) enters a panicked bout of HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday if Alejandro so much as touches him.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His feelings for Heather became rather obvious later on, with everybody in the cast (and Chris) pointing it out.
* EvilGenius: He is one of the most intelligent contestants on the show, with an IQ of 163. He especially fills this role for the Villainous Vultures in ''All-Stars''.
--> '''Heather:''' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Wow Alejandro! You're so smart]]!
* EvilLaugh: He somehow manages to make even this sound sexy.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is noticeably higher in ''All-Stars'' paralleling how significantly less evil he is this season, although this may not have been intentional, as it was due to his VA being replaced.
* EvilerThanThou: In his debut, he declares that he's so evil that even Heather seems like a saint when compared to him. He's correct for the most part, but his underestimation of Heather's ruthlessness would eventually lead to [[spoiler:his defeat in the ''World Tour'' finale]].
* EvilVersusEvil:
** In the ''World Tour'' finale, he clashes with [[spoiler: his arch-enemy/turned-lover Heather, although at this stage due to Heather's HazyFeelTurn it's more like:]]
---> '''Harold:''' Now it's Evil VS Wicked!
** In ''All-Stars'', he ends up clashing with [[spoiler: Mal, with Alejandro trying to reveal Mal's existence to other competitors]], but he has little success [[CryingWolf because of his reputation as "the most manipulative player in Total Drama history".]]
* ExBigBad: The most prominent example other than Heather. During ''World Tour'', Alejandro proved himself to be the nastiest ''Total Drama'' villain of all time, manipulating and backstabbing his way through the season all the way to the finale, and having a hand in ''almost'' everyone's eliminations. Come ''All-Stars'', unsurprisingly there is '''no one''' who trusts him due to his heinous past. This causes trouble for him once [[EvilerThanThou a threat greater than him]] emerges in the form of Mal. Being one of the few characters [[DevilInPlainSight aware of Mal's true nature]], Alejandro's attempts to warn everyone else falls on mostly deaf ears with everyone believing he's CryingWolf.
* EyepatchOfPower: He has to wear an eyepatch in "The Am-AH-Zon Race".
* FalseFriend: Alejandro isn't above feigning friendships to get ahead, and it's the core way he manipulates his male targets to trust him. For example, he provides DJ with an Egyptian-eye-marked fish as a good luck charm, claiming to have his best interests in mind so DJ will ally with him. When it doesn't work out, Alejandro reveals to Tyler (deliberately within earshot of DJ) that he drew a fake symbol on the fish, shattering DJ's newfound luck and confidence, all while claiming he just wanted to make DJ feel better.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Presents himself as a polite and friendly gentleman to hide his cruel and ruthless nature.
* FightingTheLancer: On [[OverlyLongName Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot]]; Alejandro clashes with [[TheLancer Lancers]] Noah and Duncan, who both see through him to his true nature and pose as threats to him. However, the [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] manages to come out victorious on both occasions and successfully orchestrates their eliminations.
* FlawExploitation: He takes pride in his talent to sniff out someone's weakness and immediately exploit it. As shown in "Greece's Pieces", as soon as he senses animosity between Duncan, Gwen and Tyler, he immediately goes to every effort to find out what it is, so that he can use it to his advantage.
* {{Foil}}:
** He is essentially a SpearCounterpart to Heather. Both being the BigBad of a season and [[TheChessmaster orchestrated numerous eliminations]], while forming several alliances to safeguard their place in the game. However unlike Heather, who was an AlphaBitch who governed her alliances through fear and earned a bad reputation for herself, Alejandro's approach involved winning over the trust of others by [[BitchInSheepsClothing feigning kindness]] and kept his true nature hidden from the public. As Noah puts it, he's basically Heather but with social skills.
** To Owen. Aside from both being male finalists, they are otherwise as different as night and day, which is little wonder why Alejandro despises Owen so much. Owen is an AllLovingHero and an all-round BigFun NiceGuy who is adored by all. Alejandro is a BigBadFriend who ''pretends'' to be a gentle soul, but in reality this is an act and he cares for no one but himself and winning. Owen is an unathletic [[TheDitz ditz]] with an occasional challenge he excels at (most notably [[BigEater eating]]), Alejandro is TheAce and an EvilGenius who [[MasterOfAll excels at everything]] and on rare occasion shows a weakness (notably having a weak stomach to disgusting food). Owen went into the finale surrounded by friends with the majority rooting for him, while Alejandro's finale had almost no one supporting him (save for a few girls still under his charms) and with everyone yearning for his downfall.
** To Duncan, who he is a near perfect opposite of. Duncan maintains a tough, hostile exterior but scratch the surface and you'll find a softer caring side. Alejandro puts on a [[FauxAffablyEvil charming act]] to hide a vileness underneath. Duncan starts off alienating everyone with his intimidating [[TheBully bully]] act, but soon garnered quite a lot of friends after they got to know him. Alejandro was initially adored by everyone, sans Heather, before he betrayed each of them one by one until he was left with no one but Heather. Further contrasts are seen with their relationship with Owen: while Duncan is one of Owen's best buddies, Alejandro came to despise Owen from the start. Duncan also gets along well with his brothers, while Alejandro had a BigBrotherBully and it's implied this SiblingRivalry is part of his FreudianExcuse.
** To Harold of all people. Both of them possess[[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands a wide array of bizarre but useful talents that they tend to pull out of nowhere to help their teams win challenges]] (usually justified with a short anecdote about their backstories). Still, while Harold is a SociallyAwkwardHero who unintentionally annoyed his teammates while (usually) being heroic and well-intentioned, Alejandro is a TheCharmer and extremely popular with his teammates, and ruthless and villainous. Harold's good qualities win him the respect and appreciation of his teammates, while Alejandro's negative qualities gain him the hatred of almost everyone on the show.
** To Justin, both are highly good looking and [[TheCharmer charismatic]], [[EatingTheEyeCandy and gain intense reactions]] from [[EvenTheGuysWantHim everyone they meet]]. They both but on [[FauxAffablyEvil polite, affable facades]] to hide their highly manipulative and narcissistic personalities, but Justin's spent his whole life coasting on his looks and never developed any skills or intellect, Alejandro on the other hand is TheAce, he's basically what Justin would have been if he'd ever had to work for anything in his life.
** To Courtney, they're both highly driven, overly competitive perfectionists who are controlling, narcissistic and secretly very insecure. But Courtney has NoSocialSkills and easily makes others hate her just by thinking only of herself and never taking others' feelings into account whereas Alejandro is highly manipulative and will often convince people he's their friend and looking out for their best interests while in reality using them for his own purposes. Courtney sees herself as a good person and doesn't understand why others don't like her whereas Alejandro prides himself on being [[EvilerThanThou the evilest person in the room.]]
* ForeignLanguageTirade: He speaks his native language when he is frustrated.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A couple of elements related to him were alluded to some of the episodes of ''World Tour'' before each of them would be later revealed:
** He throws up in "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan" after eating a candy fish tail indicating that he has a low tolerance for strange food. This ends up being a plot point during the eating contest challenge in "Chinese Fake-Out".
** Owen was one of the few contestants he had a personal dislike towards due to constantly calling him "Al" and "perverting" his name. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:it was his brother Jose's personal nickname for him that he tormented him with]].
*** In "Suckers Punched", he would have to face Jose in his boxing match.
** During the song "Wake Up", one of his singing lines is "''Loser'' is what the lion called you, when you couldn't find your balls". While he actually meant the tranq(uilizer) balls, as he stated later, this also foreshadows [[spoiler:'''''his ultimate comeuppance''''' from Heather by kneeing him right at '''his "kiwis"''', and that he ''never'' gets the million-dollar prize physically on either of the season-finale endings of ''World Tour'' (in addition to that, not only he got trampled by the other contestants, but he also got ''severely'' burnt by lava)]].
* FreudianExcuse: His father taught him how to be manipulative, his mother taught him how to win over girls, and his older brother's mocking of him gave him his obsessive, competitive nature.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: A very interesting twist on his character. While he usually [[FalseFriend feigns friendship]] with nearly every contestant, up until they outlive their usefulness and he betrays them, he does have an unusual handle over animals. See TheBeastMaster above.
* GoodHairEvilHair: His soul patch fits him being a NobleDemon, especially in ''Total Drama All-Stars''.
* GracefulLoser:
** He politely concedes defeat the several occasions where Heather has bested him in ''World Tour'', viewing her as a WorthyOpponent.
** While he is annoyed that he gets voted off in ''All-Stars'', Alejandro still tries to warn the others about Mal's presence.
* HandicappedBadass: He spends the majority of ''All-Stars'' walking on his hands, at first because he truly can't use his legs and later as a ruse to keep the others' guard down. Even if the handicap is self-imposed, it still means he's without legs and in this state still manages to pull off some impressive feats, such as walking across a tightrope on just his hands and saving Heather on said tightrope.
* HandyFeet: He drives a bus with his feet in "[[Recap/TotalDramaCelebrityManhuntsTDAReunionShow Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show]]".
* HatedByAll: Beginning at the end of ''World Tour'', almost every other contestant (even Heather) started to instantly distrust him due to his very deceptive personality.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Although he didn't technically turn good in ''All-Stars'' Alejandro's focus shifted from winning the game to simply outlasting Heather. Once this goal is achieved, he drops his villain-status in favor of trying to convince everyone that there's a greater threat looming, Mal. Unfortunately, [[CryingWolf his reputation as a liar precedes him, so everyone assumes he's just making stuff up]].
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler: The finale of ''World Tour'': he's about to win by tossing the sacrifice into the volcano, he sees Heather cry out in frustration, Alejandro gets Heather to admit she loves him, he admits the same only to fall for a [[GroinAttack kiwi shot]] by Heather, who then pushes Alejandro down the volcano on a block of ice. When he reaches the bottom he's trampled by everyone running away from the eruption, he is caught in the lava flow, and after the end credits he's put in the Robot from Celebrity Manhunt Special to become "Darth Alejandro"]]. He then stays that way for at least a year.
* {{Hunk}}: He replaces Justin as the goto MrFanservice, being a charming ChickMagnet and given plenty of WalkingShirtlessScene. Courtney even calls him "Ale-hunk-dro" at one point.
* ICantFeelMyLegs: Being in that robot for a season made his legs numb. However, in "Evil Dread", he regained the use of his legs, and he attempts to scream discreetly after a crab pinches his foot.
* IMeantToDoThat: Whenever Alejandro screws up, or loses, he'll give a long-winded explanation of how it was [[JustAsPlanned all according to plan.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He is good-looking, charming, villainous, and isn't afraid to show it, yet he still feels inferior to his older brother Jose, even saying at one point "Jose alway wins."
* InSeriesNickname: Has a long list given to him by other contestants, they are as follows:[[note]]
** Al (by Owen, Cody, Courtney, Mal, Chris, and José)
** Ale-handout, Ale-kazam, Ale-hand...bro (by Owen)
** Ale-whatever, [[EyepatchOfPower Pirate Pablo]], José, Blah-lejandro, Eviljandro (by Heather)
** Ale-{{Hunk}}-dro, [[{{Pun}} Alejandro-row-row]] (by Courtney)
** Ale-heinous (by Bridgette)
** Ale-jerk-dro (by Geoff)
** Ale-drag-dro (by Noah)
** Fabul-andro (by Blaineley)
** La Cucaracha (by Duncan)
** Jalapeño (by Lindsay)
** Leggy [=McLatin=], Ale-handwalker (by Jo)
** Ale-whatever (by Scott)
** Ale-jerk-o (by Chris)
[[/note]]
* IronicName: His name is basically a Hispanic version of the name "Alexander", which etymologically speaking, means "defender of man", yet Alejandro himself '''''hardly''''' cares for almost anyone (including his fellow, and later former Team Chris members, and even Heather).
* {{Irony}}:
** He's known for seducing a couple of ladies in ''World Tour'' for competitive and malicious reasons, but [[spoiler:his chances for obtaining the million-dollar prize in that same season, whichever the ending, were hindered by Heather, who uses his romantic feelings for her to her own advantage, mainly via hitting him at his kiwis]].
** In ''All-Stars'', him causing Heather's elimination (with the use of an Invincibility Statue) is what further led to his eventual downfall during that same season (since he's known for engineering the majority of the eliminations in ''World Tour''), especially at its midway, when he's trying to warn others about Mal's presence inside of Mike.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a greedy, self-centered rat bastard who will feign friendship and attraction to win. On rare occasions, he will show a hint of compassion in his "tiny black heart", which is mainly reserved for Heather.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty:
** [[spoiler: After [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating people (especially the girls)]] for most of the season, he ultimately loses because a girl [[ManipulativeBitch manipulates HIS feelings]]]].
** It's traditional in this show for an ExBigBad's second season to be one long HumiliationConga. Alejandro generally avoided this in his second season, even getting in two pretty big wins, giving his brother a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and getting Heather eliminated as revenge for her defeating him (leading to the two of them hooking up later). Then it hits him hard in [[Recap/TotalDramaTheObstaKillCourse The Obsta-Kill Course]], by the end of the episode after spending the day as [[VilerNewVillain Mal's]] whipping boy, he looks [[BreakTheHaughty utterly defeated]] like a child who's been grounded. A big contrast to how he was [[AngstWhatAngst after he got out of the Drama Machine.]]
* KarmicButtMonkey: Not as often as previous and subsequent antagonists but he has his moments of receiving slapstick and humiliation. Especially if he spends to much time around Owen, Heather or Mal.
* KickTheDog:
** Seriously, tricking DJ into believing his curse was lifted to have him regain his confidence, only to [[YankTheDogsChain knock him back down, and rigging the course so he'd lose because he had outlived his usefulness?]] Harsh, man.
** His treatment of [[NiceGuy Owen]] throughout World Tour is a major source of these moments for him. While he is a ManipulativeBastard to most of the other contestants through and through, he seems to regard it as NothingPersonal for almost all of them. For example, he seemed to have no ill will towards Bridgette, Leshawna, and Harold, and [[PragmaticVillainy only manipulated them because it got him further in the game]]. By contrast, with Owen he treats it as ItsPersonal and frequently humiliates him just ForTheEvulz (ex: his hypnosis spell that made Owen embarrass himself repeatedly throughout an episode), condescends him constantly (ex: the insult-compliment he gives Owen when he helps the team, which even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Duncan]] calls him out on), takes great pleasure in seeing him get hurt [[TheBully (one confessional is him laughing hysterically at Owen getting a major injury)]], and is generally a huge JerkAss toward him. He's even the one to literally kick him out of the plane when he gets eliminated. And unlike the other contestants, this behavior is simply EvilIsPetty because it never gets him any strategic advantage. Granted, Owen was unintentionally pressing his BerserkButton, but still...
* LadykillerInLove: Despite all his manipulations with the female contestants, it later became obvious that Alejandro was genuinely falling in love with Heather.
* LatinLover: Every girl finds him irresistible, even ones who are already in relationships. In fact it is so effective that it still exerts influence on some girls even when he has revealed his true nature and betrayed them, where they have to constantly remind themselves that he's evil. He is very proud of his Hispanic heritage, which seems to make him even more appealing to girls.
* TheLeader: For all his underhandedness, he does make a legitimately capable and helpful leader of Team Chris. If he weren't out only for himself, Team Chris could've reached the merge with barely any losses.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Spanish music, reminiscent of the theme from {{Franchise/Zorro}}.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In ''All-Stars'' he ultimately realizes that Mal is [[EvilerThanThou even more evil than himself]], which leads him to become a NominalHero in "The Obsta-Kill Kourse" where he attempts to warn the others of the greater evil and get Mal eliminated.
--> '''Alejandro''': But I am not the true villain, a greater evil is lurking.
* LoveIsAWeakness: He knows this fully well, and uses this to exploit every girl in ''World Tour''. Ironically he ends up falling for it himself.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: His tactic for eliminating several of the females. And then he himself fell victim to this in "Hawaiian Punch".
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Heather's masculine girl. Alejandro is sweet-talking, polite, and less prone to being aggressive when manipulating people. Heather is ruthless, rude, and has no trouble attacking people in order to get what she wants.
* MasterOfAll: He seems to be talented at '''everything''', which he always explains as being due to [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower having certain relatives who specialize in an area]].
* ManipulativeBastard: The only eliminations that Alejandro ''didn't'' have a hand in during ''World Tour'' was Ezekiel's, Lindsay's, Izzy's, Sierra's, and Heather's. He also manipulated Courtney and tried to get rid of Gwen, despite not being the direct cause of their eliminations, and makes up for his failure to eliminate Heather by making it his only goal in ''All-Stars''.
* TheMasochismTango: With Heather. He and Heather ''literally'' tango, on top of a train, while singing about how much they hate each other in "Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles".
-->''You are the worst, why must you torment me?/ It's all a game to you, but not to me...''
* MrFanservice: Has anyone counted how many times he's ripped off his shirt? See ShirtlessScene below.
* MuppetCameo: During "This is How We Will End It", he controls a Muppet version of himself.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His contestant title is "The Arch Villain".
* NearVillainVictory: In the US ending of ''World Tour'' where he comes literally inches away from throwing his pineapple sacrifice into the volcano and securing victory. In the Canadian ending, [[TheBadGuyWins he straight up wins]], albeit by technicality. However, in neither ending does he so much as gets to touch the prize money [[PyrrhicVictory due to it being burned in the volcano]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Probably the epitome of this trope. As he very frequently has some new skill to help in almost any specific challenge which he will explain that a family member has.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Out of the final three members of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, he's the mean to Owen's nice and Duncan's in-between.
* NobleDemon:
** He isn't evil for the sake of being evil, and [[PunchClockVillain only does it for the prize money]]. He also has a code of honor which he abides by, and has shown rare glimpses of sympathy as he did with Heather, and will [[EvenEvilHasStandards only go so far]].
** It's also apparently a family code to never hit the face. Despite hating his older brother, Jose with a passion they never hit each other in the face during the boxing challenge landing body shots instead.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: To Duncan's roguish. Played with as he is more villainous than Duncan.
* NominalHero: In "The Obsta-kill Course", he tries to take down Mal, but only to further his own agenda.
* NotInTheFace: When José and Alejandro fight each other in "Suckers Punched", they only exchange body blows, as it's in their family code to never hit the face of their opponent in a fight.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's constantly telling people about his various family members, what they do and the skills he learned from them. So Heather's pretty shocked when she finds out he has an [[BigBrotherBully older brother]] he's never mentioned.
* PersonAsVerb: He occasionally does this, like in "Rapa-Phooey" when he states the Condor is "two Alejandros' long."
* PetTheDog: Despite being one of the most ruthless contestants, he surprisingly has quite a few legit NobleDemon moments:
** In ''Can't Help Falling In Lovure'', he helps Cody hide from Sierra, even guarding him while he used the bathroom.
** During the Area 51 episode he keeps his word to Duncan and votes Tyler off when backstabbing Duncan would have been more beneficial to his game.
** When Heather gets hit by a boulder and wedged in a hole, he at first considers leaving her there until getting a "tremor" in his tiny black heart and rescuing her (the fact that he is in love with her definitely helped), near the end episode he shields her when the plane blows up and rushes to Sierra's side after her injury.
** He offers to save Cameron while he's hanging over a cliff, only leaving him there when Cameron makes it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with him.
* PickyEater: Shown as a weakness in "Chinese Fake-Out." He tries to use Courtney to get around it until he gets caught.
* PoorlyTimedConfession: He invokes this several times to mess with the other team:
** In "Newf Kids on the Rock", a cursed DJ has to kiss a fish for a challenge and he notices that the fish has an Egyptian symbol on it. Alejandro tells him that that kissing the fish will break his Egyptian curse, but by the end of the episode, it's revealed that Alejandro drew the symbol on the fish. In "Jamaica Me Sweat", with DJ believes that the curse is lifted, he starts doing well in the competition and he believes he can win. But when Alejandro "accidentally" confessed to Tyler about the truth about the fish with DJ standing behind him, DJ starts doing poorly and eventually gets eliminated.
** In "Greece's Pieces", he invokes Tyler into doing this during the competition to create a rift between Gwen and Courtney, who were starting to become friends. Tyler witnessed [[spoiler: Duncan and Gwen kissing each other despite Duncan being in a relationship with Courtney. Before the tiebreaker match can begin, when Tyler reveals the kiss to everyone, Courtney became furious at Gwen. And while their team won the challenge, Courtney began trying to sabotage her own team into losing so she can vote Gwen off.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: Alejandro repeatedly acts kindly towards and protects his teammates--not because he cares, but because he needs them around for his strategy.
* {{Pride}}: He's a narcissistic and egotistical {{Schemer}}, kinda like Justin but more successful in his attempts to seduce women just to screw them over and he pretty much takes a lot of pride in it.
* PunnyName: Possibly. As pointed out on [[{{WMG/TotalDrama}} the WMG page]], "Burromuerto" combined with the nickname "Al" might be a reference to the Spanish saying ''"al burro muerto, cebada al rabo"'' (which roughly translates to "tying barley to a dead donkey's tail"). It means that you should enjoy life while it lasts, because you won't have things such as fame, glory, or wealth when you are dead.
* PyrrhicVictory: In [[spoiler:his ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:he technically wins the competition, but both he and the money still get burned and he gets put into the robot suit]].
* RedOniBlueOni:
** He's the blue to Duncan's red when they team up in ''World Tour''.
** He's also the red to his brother José's blue, [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience as reflected by their shirt colors]].
** In his relationship with Heather. He is the blue to her red. This is emphasized in the final song of ''World Tour'' when they face each other.
* RomanticFalseLead: To Geoff/Bridgette, Tyler/Lindsay, Harold/Leshawna and Courtney/Duncan.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan:
** Sensitive Guy to Duncan and Scott's Manly Men, being more refined and less likely to be purposefully rude.
** He's the Manly Man to Justin's Sensitive Guy, being more physically adept and ruthless.
* ShirtlessScene: He lends his shirt to Bridgette in "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better", and rips it off for no apparent reason at the start of the "Sweden Sour" challenge, much to Heather and Courtney's joy, and Duncan's confusion, though Sierra remains unaffected due to being [[SingleTargetSexuality Cody-sexual]].
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Heather when they finally get together in the ''All-Stars'' finale.
* SillyWalk: He uses his hands for movement in ''All-Stars'', [[spoiler:that is until he gets voted off, in which point he drops the act, stands up, and walks to Heather, ''and'' he uses the immunity idol he stole from her, eliminating Heather in his place]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: He is this to Mal when he [[spoiler:creates a DVD of him committing evil acts and hides it in the hotel for someone to find (which Zoey eventually does).]]
* SpearCounterpart: Of Heather, as he is the first BigBad since the Queen of Mean herself, who is able to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate the entire cast with ease]], and [[TheChessmaster control the entire game by orchestrating a long line of eliminations]].
** Noah lampshades the similarities between him and his female predecessor when attempting to caution Owen.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Aside from the usual suspects, he is one of the most focused-on contestants in ''World Tour''. A lot of this is due to the fact that he's the season's main antagonist and Heather's long-awaited canonical love interest. This continues even to ''All-Stars'', where he places [[spoiler:6th, only behind the five main characters of the season]], even though his almost only role in the season is getting his revenge on Heather, which he accomplishes and lasts several episodes after.
* StrongAndSkilled: Alejandro is an athletic powerhouse capable of scaling pyramids with ease and standing on his hands for long periods of time, and is a manipulative mastermind able to orchestrate the downfall of several of the other contestants.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To Heather. Both are [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] examples of TheChessmaster, but Alejandro racked up an even higher elimination count for his debut season. Also unlike Heather, who most of the time tends to be a SmugSnake not even bothering to hide her nastiness, Alejandro knew how to play a good social game, which made him more competent in the long run, becoming the first (and only) main villain to make it to the finale in their debut season.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Justin, except unlike the BrainlessBeauty, Alejandro is actually smart.
* TemptingFate: "I demand to get what's coming to me!", right before he [[LaserGuidedKarma gets trampled on]]. [[spoiler: (At least, during his own ending in ''World Tour''.)]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: On Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A, which is pretty simple enough to be said here for a guy who's mostly meant to be Heather's masculine counterpart.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:At the end of ''All-Stars'', after Camp Wawanakwa sinks, Alejandro, alongside Heather, swims away to escape from Fang, but is never seen again afterwards due to no more seasons featuring members of the original cast being produced, and considering that his status has no mentions at all in the seventh season due to no previous contestants making physical cameos after the fifteen year TimeSkip, certainly doesn't make his chances of survival look good.]]
* UnfortunateName: His surname "Burromuerto" is Spanish for "dead donkey". Chris knows this and makes big bucks off this.
* UnholyMatrimony: Eventually develops this with Heather.
* UnknownRival: There is no one Alejandro hates more than Owen, but for the most part Owen is blissfully unaware of how Alejandro truly feels about him.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: He's trapped in the Drama Machine for a year.
* VillainDecay: ''All-Stars'' has him reduced from a [[ManipulativeBastard puppeteer]], [[ChickMagnet chick magnet]] to a borderline {{Expy}} of Justin. However, this becomes downplayed as, unlike most of the other contestants, he does still show moments of cunning, and with the exception of Mal and debatably Heather, is the only contestant to truly act villainous.
* TheVillainSucksSong: He has two:
** The first one is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKzTVc1N9AA "Sisters"]], which is about Leshawna signing about how she's going to get her revenge on Alejandro for messing with her head and causing her elimination.
** The second one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi5U9REm4AI "Versus"]] is both a VillainSong and TheVillainSucksSong at the same time since it's about him and [[AlphaBitch Heather]] singing about how they are going to win and taking constant jabs at each other while doing so.
* VillainProtagonist: In "The Obsta-Kill Kourse" after finding about Mal, though he did slide into NominalHero territory.
* VillainousBreakdown: He really doesn't like being called Al. It all comes to a head in the season three finale, where it's revealed his deep hatred for being called Al is related to the fact that his older brother bullies him. Of course, after finding this out, Cody uses it to torment him.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His weak stomach when eating foods that are disgusting or unhealthy, which is a handicap on a show where gross food-eating challenges are practically a rite of passage.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Some of the girls have commented on his eyes, and he even exploits this trope. "Evil Dread" treats the audience to a close-up of his face while he tries to work his magic on Gwen. Gwen goes on to confess that she knows he's evil, but his eyes still have an effect on her.
* WickedCultured: Alejandro is knowledgeable in pop culture and trivial facts, and is greatly concerned for his personal health by staying away from nasty foods, often worrying about his body image.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Heather. In the ''All-Stars'' season finale, they finally do, though they still retain their competitive natures.
* WorthyOpponent: To Heather. He acknowledges that she's a formidable adversary and enjoys competing against her in challenges, he also doesn't take it personally when she [[OutGambitted out-gambits him]]. Heather even invokes this to get Alejandro to help her out of a hole.
--> '''Heather:''' Please, Alejandro. You and I have been the greatest adversaries this game has ever seen! Is this how you wanna win it -- because I got jammed into a pit by a stupid rock? Is that the victory you want!?
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In ''All-Stars'', after being released from the robotic body, [[ICantFeelMyLegs Alejandro's legs don't work properly at first]]. They eventually heal and regain their strength but he still pretends to be injured to make Heather feel guilty and to keep the other Villainous Vultures from seeing him as a threat.
