Amy

"I just saw Samey's pathetic audition tape for Total Drama, so I decided to submit my own. Cuz oh my gag, who'd pick her over me?! I was born first, and Samey has been coming in last ever since! My bags are already packed, so send the limo."

Voiced by: Bryn McAuley

Label: The Evil Twin

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon)

Placements: 12th^*Removed unintentionally via Twin Switch (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 3 (TDPI)

The older twin sister of Samey by 17 minutes. Amy is a vain and bratty cheerleader who lives to torment her sister. She sees Samey as nothing more than an inferior spare of herself and relentlessly abuses Samey both physically and verbally to ensure she never forgets that.

---

• Alpha Bitch: Complete with Cruel Cheerleader status.
• Attention Whore: She constantly upstages Samey, and she often takes the credit for Samey's hard work. Also, when Samey tries to stand up for herself, Amy has the audacity to call her an "attention hog".
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She's one of the more feminine members of the team and her cheerleader outfit reveals her stomach.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn:
  • She paraphrases the trope, claiming that she is the beauty and the brains, and Samey is the doer of stuff that stinks.
  • Sticking with the trope's intended definition, Amy and Samey would be the Beauties, Scarlett the Brains, and Jasmine the Brawn for Team Kinosewak.
• Beauty Is Bad: Being the Starter Villain of Pahkitew Island, she's the most definitive female villain in that season for this trope. Could also count as Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon.
• Berserk Button:
  • Anyone complementing Samey or taking Samey's side.
  • Confusing her for Samey. She goes off on a short rant about it after it is revealed that Samey impersonated her.
• Big Bad Wannabe: She has all the makings of an antagonist and takes after the personality of previous Big Bads like Heather and Courtney, but she didn't last long enough to make a significant impact.
• Big Sister Bully: She's 17 minutes older than her twin sister Samey, according to a confessional in "I Love You, Grease Pig" and always treats her horribly.
  Jasmine: Well, good thing for Samey they weren't born Siamese twins, or I'd reckon Amy would have eaten her by now!
• Bully and Wimp Pairing: A rare female example, she is the Bully to Samey's Wimp.
• Cain and Abel: In "So, Uh, This is My Team?", Amy tries to invoke the trope with her as Cain and Samey as Abel when she kicks her sister away as they were freefalling; however, the trope is subverted when Samey had an actual parachute.
• Childish Older Sibling: Ironically, despite viewing her twin sister Samey as an Annoying Younger Sibling, Amy herself is actually the less mature of the two, as she spends more time inferiorizing Samey than being contributive to the competition.
• Combat, Diplomacy, Stealth: In terms of strategies, Amy is the Diplomacy alongside Topher, to spite being an obvious Jerkass and a Hate Sink, she somehow managed to be a Villain with Good Publicity and unlike previous Alpha Bitch's who performed pretty admirably in challenges, Amy went the typical rout of using social manipulation as her main methods of getting what she wants. In contrast to Sugar's Combat and Scarlett's Stealth.
• Cruel Cheerleader: One half of her label, being one of the Alpha Bitches of Pahkitew Island.
• A Day in the Limelight: Amy and Samey's conflict is focused on heavily during "Twinning Isn't Everything", in which the latter eliminates the former.
• Determinator: Swam all the way back to the island after being eliminated just so she could get revenge on Samey.
• Devil in Plain Sight: She makes absolutely ZERO effort to hide her cruel nature, yet she's Little Miss Perfect in nearly everybody's eyes except Jasmine. This is especially true during her Wounded Gazelle Gambit when Rodney has the nerve to label Samey as the bully when she tries to call her sister out in front of her team.
• Dirty Coward: She uses Samey as a Human Shield when Chef fired tennis balls at them.
• Distinguishing Mark: The mole under Amy's right eye, which serves as the Identical Twin ID Tag between her and Samey. Samey even applies one on her own cheek while posing as Amy.
• Domestic Abuse: Constantly abuses her sister Samey both physically and emotionally in plain sight, yet everybody (except Jasmine) views her as a perfect angel. She also twists around Samey's words when she calls her out to make it look like Samey is the bully and paint herself as the victim (a common tactic that real-life abusers use).
• The Dividual: With Samey. Though it's downplayed in that they do not get along.
• Dumb Blonde: Inverted; she's Street Smart, knowing how to manipulate people, especially Samey.
• Enfant Terrible: Amy has practically bullied Samey since birth.
• Entitled Bitch: As the elder sister, she expects Samey to do her every whim despite how terribly she treats her.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When Jasmine defends Samey during an argument, Amy wonders why would anyone stick up for her twin, as Amy thinks of Samey as nothing but a "Spare Amy."
• Evil Counterpart: To Mike, he was a sweet and shy boy who was impersonated by his evil and abusive alter ego and banished into his own mindscape. Amy was an evil and abusive girl who was impersonated by her sweet and shy identical twin sister and exiled from the island. Both went through a long and agonizing journey to get back so they could confront their imposter but to very different outcomes.
• Evil Laugh: She gives one off when she thinks Samey's going home. However, little did Amy know, Samey had set her up for a fall.
• Evil Twin: The other half of her label, being the evil twin sister of Samey.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Despite her nasty attitude, Rodney claims Amy had "the voice of an angel".
• The Fake Cutie: Tries to make herself look like a perfect angel to the rest of her teammates, but actually she's little more than an abusive, bullying jerkass.
• Fatal Flaw: Her obsession with trying to make Samey look bad was ultimately her downfall. Throughout the competition, she constantly hounded Samey and tried to make her life miserable, even going to the extent that she would take credit for anything she did. However, her obsession comes back to bite her as not only does she cause the team to lose after she refuses to let Samey try and take the shot to get rid of Shawn, she takes the manchineel fruit from Samey to taunt her. Unbeknownst to her, the poison from the fruit causes her throat to swell up and leave her unable to speak, allowing Samey to get her eliminated in her place.
• Flat Character: She is given little personality outside of her cruelty towards her sister, and leaves the island without any indication that she's humbled by the experience.
• The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Reaches its climax in "A Blast from the Past" when Samey becomes more willing to fight back.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Inverted. She has light blonde hair just like her twin sister Samey, but has a heart that's much darker than Max's (even when she tries to pass herself as being the "better" twin sister in front of others).
• Hate Sink: Amy is written with zero redeeming factors. She is a Big Sister Bully who has tormented Samey her entire life. She treats her like a slave, constantly puts her down, and seems to get a kick out of making Samey feel miserable. Amy ultimately serves no real purpose other than to springboard Samey's Character Development and is eliminated after 3 episodes.
• Hoist by Her Own Petard: She callously snatches a fruit from Samey because she thinks Samey doesn't deserve to eat. The fruit turns out to be poisonous, with Samey having known Amy would swipe it from her. This prevents Amy from speaking up at elimination, allowing Samey to pretend to be Amy and let Amy get eliminated in her place.
• Hypocrite: She always takes credit for her sister's accomplishments, yet also had the nerve to call her an "attention hog".
• Identical Twin ID Tag: To differentiate between her and her twin sister Samey, Amy has a mole beneath her right eye. After Amy is eliminated, Samey places a berry beneath her eye to secure her cover.
• Informed Ability: Her label and outfit show that she's a cheerleader, but she never shows any sort of physical prowess.
• In-Universe Factoid Failure: When she claims that she is a parfait, she states that it's German for "perfect" when it's actually French.
• Ironic Name: "Amy" is a Latin-derived French name meaning "beloved", but Amy here is a Hate Sink because of the way she treats her twin sister.
• Irony: Her severely nasty attitude actually makes her A LOT more malevolent than Max, who is instead a Big Bad Wannabe with a sympathetic streak.
• It's All About Me: Instead of being a team player, this self-absorbed brat puts all her energy on bullying Samey and stealing all the credit anytime her twin sister does anything beneficial.
• Jerkass to One: She treats her sister Samey with absolutely NO respect, and it's not reserved just for her. She extends this cruelty towards almost everyone else, particularly Rodney and Jasmine, though it's not as prominent as her callousness towards Samey.
• Kick the Dog: To Samey far too often. She even literally kicks her sister, hoping she will plummet to her death in the first episode.
  (As Amy and Samey are free-falling, with the latter holding on to the former's leg)
  Amy: (after she pulls her ripcord and gets a parachute) Ohhh! I'll miss you, sis! Not much! But... (laughs) ...probably not at all. LATER!!! (Amy kicks Samey away)
  Samey: (pulls her ripcord and gets a chute) YES!!
  Amy: Ugh! Fine! You can live!
• Lady in Red: Wears a red cheerleader outfit.
• The Lancer: On Team Kinosewak, she is the most authoritative person after team leader Jasmine, and has a personality that's the polar opposite of hers. On top of that they constantly clash due to their contrasting views about Samey.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Gets hit with it hard, courtesy of Samey.
• Lean and Mean: She has a petite frame and a nasty attitude.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The Dark to Samey's Light.
• The Load: As strong as her social game was, when it came to challenges, she was more often than not pretty weak in them. She doesn't help at all with scavenging, instead preferring to have Samey take her place, and during challenges, she's so obsessed with upstaging Samey that it'll cause issues during the challenges, with one result even causing the team to lose.
• Malicious Misnaming:
  • First, she calls her sister Samey, then she comes up with a new, even more disparaging name in the confessional, "Spareamy".
  • She calls Rodney "Mumbles".
• Manipulative Bitch: She manages to manipulate her team to turn on Samey.
• Mirror Character:
  • She is essentially a younger version of Blaineley, in terms of her physical appearance and vain personality.
  • On the surface, Amy is comparable to the series' previous Alpha Bitches Heather and Courtney. All three have been eliminated by being Hoist by Their Own Petard, usually as a result of their own arrogance as well as their victims pushing back against them. However, Heather and Courtney are two of the series' signature villains due to their longevity, while Amy hardly has any impact in the lone season she competed in due to her early elimination. It's also important to note that both Heather and Courtney are also more comparatively sympathetic than Amy ever was.
  • Her relationship with Samey is also comparable to Heather's relationship with Lindsay, the main difference being that the wimp is fully aware of the bully's true nature throughout, as opposed to finding out much later.
  • In terms of her overall purpose within the competition, she is similar to Dakota from the previous generation, as both of them are vain blonde girls who crave huge amounts of attention (namely, the positive kind) from others. However, Dakota herself is actually a very friendly Daddy's Girl whose attention-seeking ways are really a "depressed cry for love" (as Dawn puts it), which was finally met with her unlikely romance with Sam (the gamer guy). Amy's, on the other hand, were more or less just to make herself feel much better than she already was before, especially in front of Samey. In addition, even if Dakota was transformed into the Dakotazoid, she is still a very humane monster, while Amy, on the other hand, will always be a highly monstrous human being.
  • Within her own generation, she is similar to Sugar. Both are bratty, vain, and manipulative blonde-haired bullies who constantly torment the more innocent characters (Samey for Amy, and Ella for Sugar), as well as having very Ironic Names, with Sugar being a Fat Bitch while Amy is Lean and Mean. However, Amy gets ousted by Samey only three episodes in, while Sugar manages to successfully oust Ella, and stays in the competition until the penultimate episode.
  • To Katie. Katie and Sadie had similar names, dressed the same and were treated by everyone as The Dividual. This was due to them being Heterosexual Life-Partners who loved being in each other's presence and genuinely couldn't stand being apart. Amy on the other hand was a Big Sister Bully who copied or took credit for everything Samey did so she'd always outshine her and Invoked the same name thing by giving her an Embarrassing Nickname. When Katie was eliminated she encouraged Sadie to stay and learn to be her own person, while Samey impersonated her specifically so she'd be eliminated instead of her. When Sadie got eliminated Katie met her on the boat and they shared a fond reunion, whereas Amy went back to the island specifically to get Samey eliminated and the two screamed at each other on the way out.
• Moral Myopia: Even when she has already upstaged Samey for popularity, Amy herself still has no regard for others who accept her more than her twin sister.
• Never My Fault: She always pins the blame on Samey for her mistakes.
  Amy: (after Team Kinosewak loses their first challenge) UGH! Way to go, Samey! You ruined everything!
• Nice Mean And In Between: The mean to Samey's nice and Jasmine's in between.
• Out-Gambitted: By Samey.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Amy is cruel, rude, and selfish; a stark contrast to her kind-hearted, polite, and generous sister.
• Pride: She believes that she is above her sister (and almost everyone else). This eventually becomes her Fatal Flaw.
• Psychopathic Woman Child: Despite being older than Samey by 17 minutes, Amy is, in many ways, comparable to a stereotypical toddler. Two notable demonstrations of this trait are always blaming Samey for her own faults and stealing whatever Samey has. When Team Kinosewak suffers its first loss, Amy tattles on Samey like a kindergartner.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red To Samey's Blue.
• Replacement Flat Character: Amy is this to Courtney and Heather, being a pretty Alpha Bitch character who treats others like dirt. She's basically them without any redeeming traits.
• Revenge Before Reason: Leads to her own, and later Samey's, downfall.
• Satellite Character: She has virtually no characterization outside of being mean to Samey or putting her down. The very reason she came onto the show in the first place was so she wouldn't allow Samey any chance to be free from her.
• Seven Deadly Sins: Given her less-than-sympathetic character, Amy has gone through all of these sins, even if her time in the franchise is significantly short:
  • Pride: She selfishly believes that she is better than her twin sister Samey, and probably everyone else from Pahkitew Island (including Jasmine).
  • Sloth: Despite how she self-assumes to be practically the "better" twin sister, she actually makes much less effort during the competition than Samey does.
  • Envy: She gets triggered once someone else trusts Samey over herself.
  • Wrath: She has shown a great amount of anger throughout her appearance even for no reason, and has a lot less patience than Samey does.
  • Gluttony: She doesn't let Samey get any respect from others, even by just a small amount.
  • Greed: She always craves for obtaining high regards from others, much more so than Samey does.
  • Lust: Although non-sexually, her desire for admiration is possibly the biggest thing she ever gets delighted about, both inside and outside of the competition.
• Skewed Priorities: She is more concerned with one-upping Samey than she is with helping her team. This is what ultimately leads to her downfall.
• Sibling Seniority Squabble: She was born 17 minutes before Samey, and believes that gives her power over her sister.
• Small Name, Big Ego: She believes that she is superior to Samey in every way, and Samey eventually uses this against her.
• Smug Snake: She is very arrogant, treating Samey as her personal slave.
• Sociopath: She manipulates others into thinking that she's better than Samey (not just morally), yet Amy herself still shows a lot less care for others but to her own self.
• Spoiled Brat: She's a selfish, narcissistic and rude brat that often bullies her own sister for no reason and no one else, other than Jasmine, calls her out on her behavior.
• Starter Villain: For Pahkitew Island. While she isn't the Big Bad, she still served as that season's primary drama starter for the first few episodes, before quickly being replaced due to her early elimination.
• Still Sucks Thumb: During their fight in "A Blast From the Past", Samey tells Amy that she's lucky that she doesn't tell everyone that she still sucks her thumb.
• Theme Twin Naming: Amy and Samey.
• The Unintelligible: After she eats a poisonous manchineel fruit. Samey exploits this to eliminate Amy in her place.
• Valley Girl: As a snobby cheerleader, she often speaks with this accent.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Aside from Jasmine, she manages to convince her entire team that Samey is the mean twin and not her, to the point where she’s able to successfully get her voted off when they suffer their first lost.

Jasmine

"Australia is home to eleven of the world's deadliest creatures. Oh, and our toilets do not flush backwards. I think that's about all you need to know about where I'm from."

Voiced by: Katie Bergin

Label: The Outback Survivalist

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon)

Placements: 4th (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 11 (TDPI)

A tall girl from the Australian outback whose expertise in wilderness survival comes naturally to her. While her imposing height tends to intimidate others, Jasmine is nothing but a kind and caring soul with strong leadership skills and a sisterly attitude.

---

• Aborted Arc: Her friendship with Samey gets dropped altogether once she's eliminated in "A Blast to the Past" almost to the point where it feels like it never even happened.
• Action Duo: With Shawn, especially in "Scarlett Fever". Though which of the two serves as Action Hero and Action Survivor vary with the episode, as both of them have crippling fears that can make the other one the brave one.
• Action Girl: Given her Outback survival skills.
• All Amazons Want Hercules: Played with; while she's much stronger and taller than her crush, Shawn, she's deeply impressed by his survivalist skills and fighting ability.
• Arc Hero: Post-Merger she, Shawn and Sky become the Token Good Teammate's and throughout the remaining episodes have to deal with the Big Bad Ensemble of Sugar, Scarlett and Dave.
• Awesome Aussie: A rare female example, but she's basically a great big tribute to this trope, as she's a wilderness survivor from Australia.
• Back for the Finale: She returns as Shawn's helper in the final challenge.
• Battle Couple: With Shawn in episode 10.
• The Beastmaster: She displays a hypnotic control over the grease pig.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Even with her generally well-intentioned disposition, and given her supreme physical strength, one must know that she still has her own limits (like Amy should've).
• The Big Girl: Though she doubles as The Leader.
• Big "NO!": She is prone to doing this.
  • She gives one as Samey was about to bite into a poisonous manchineel fruit in "I Love You, Grease Pig!".
  • In "Twinning Isn't Everything", she gives it as the balloon she, Samey, and Amy were fighting over bursts.
  • In "Mo Monkey, Mo Problems", she gives yet another one when she sees a tree full of monkeys, with any one of them holding her team's gold coin.
• Broken Bird: Following Shawn's actions in "A Blast from the Past".
• Can't Take Criticism: When Shawn secretly mocks her plan for the prize money behind her back, Jasmine becomes furious at him and cries.
• Cassandra Truth: She is the first one to notice that something is off about the island, and is usually the one to notice when a landmark has suddenly appeared or disappeared. However, for several episodes, no one else notices (except Shawn once and later Scarlett) or they dismiss it when she brings it up.
• Cats Are Mean: During her audition, Jasmine's cat, Whiskers, jumps on her upper arm and bites it for no apparent reason. Jasmine simply shrugs it off and finishes the audition. Later on, in "Sky Fall", Whiskers brutally attacks the camera when Jasmine tries to give her a bath. The end results are quite predictable.
• Claustrophobia: Has a crippling fear of small, enclosed spaces, likely attributed to her tall stature.
• Cool Big Sis: Acts as one to Samey, encouraging her to act tough and to stand up against her real sister Amy, who contrasts Jasmine by being a Big Sister Bully. She also helps Samey masquerade as Amy, telling her how to act like Amy and covering up for her in "I Love You, I Love You Knots".
• Expy: Confirmed by Fresh TV to be one of MacGyver.
• Foil: To Dave. Both are the love interest to the finalists of the season and both of their relationships with their lovers serves as a major plot point. Jasmine is physically strong, immediately establishes herself as the leader, and is very helpful to her team, while Dave is weak, is often ignored by his team, and is the biggest load to his team after Beardo and Leonard are eliminated. Dave keeps trying to get with Sky but gets rejected, while Jasmine pushes Shawn away herself. During the finale, when they have to stop Shawn and Sky from reaching the finish line, Jasmine starts feeling bad for hurting Shawn and helps him get out of the avalanche, while Dave will gladly hurts Sky, with Sky buried in the avalanche in Shawn's ending. Jasmine ultimately gets together with Shawn, while Dave and Sky part on bad terms. Ironically they both sabotaged each other's love interests, with Dave convincing Shawn to hit Jasmine with a baton in "A Blast from the Past" and causing Jasmine to hate him for the next few episodes and Jasmine encouraging Sky to ignore Dave and focus on the game.
• Friendless Background: She explains it's due to people being intimidated by her size.
• Genius Bruiser: The season's strongest and toughest contestant is also an expert survivalist with botanist knowledge.
• Gentle Giant: One of the absolute tallest characters in the series, but ultimately a kind-hearted person overall.
• Good Is Not Nice: Downplayed. While Jasmine is nice, she tends to grab the Jerkass Ball on occasion. Sometimes she lets her temper get the best of her.
• Height Angst: She is rather insecure about her imposing height.
• Huge Schoolgirl: She is the tallest character in Total Drama history (other than mutated Dakota) and towers over all the characters, even Chef Hatchet.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: Unfortunately, Whiskers doesn't return the love.
• The Leader: Of Team Kinosewak, as she pulls her team to victory for the first two episodes.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The survivalist masculine girl to Rodney's romantic feminine boy.
• Mirror Character: She is in every aspect a Distaff Counterpart of Manitoba Smith, even down to the fact they're Awesome Aussie Action Heroes.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The in-between to Samey's nice and Amy's mean.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: She's based on Bindi Irwin.
• Official Couple: Becomes one with Shawn after the merge.
• One Head Taller: Gender inverted with Shawn.
• One-Steve Limit: Averted. She shares her name with Leshawna's friend, Jasmin, a minor character appearing in a video short for Island.
• Secret-Keeper: She knows that Samey set Amy up for a fall, and helps Samey pose as Amy.
• Ship Tease: With Shawn. Although (for a while) Jasmine is angered at his 'betrayal' when she threw a challenge for him, they eventually make up and end up as an Official Couple.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Her friendship with Samey is focused on a good bit pre-merge, along with her Ship Tease with Shawn being focused on throughout the season. The only episode where she's absent is "Phak'd with Talent".
• Statuesque Stunner: Except for Rodney and Chef Hatchet, she towers over the Pahkitew Island cast.
• Super-Strength: She breaks a tree with a single punch and lifts one up later on.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: With Shawn.
• Token Good Teammate: Once Samey is gone, she's all that's left on a team of villains, at least until Sky joined.
• Tomboyish Ponytail: Wears a ponytail.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: An outdoor survivalist who wants to open a flower shop/cage-fighting school.
• Tsundere: Type B. Even with her own limits, she is still very kind and considerate for others.
• Tsurime Eyes: Fitting as she's practically a natural-born leader.
• Vocal Evolution: At the start of the season her voice is noticeably deeper than in her audition video. However later on it becomes higher once more (especially when she's scared or excited) and begins to resemble her audition voice more closely.
• With Us or Against Us: Jasmine tells Sky this in "Three Zones and A Baby" in regards to which team she's loyal to.
• Younger than She Looks: Contrary to what her height suggests, she's a teenager.

Max

"I feel being a contestant on Total Drama would be a great step in TAKING OVER THE WORLD! BUAHAHAHA! And also meeting people, I don’t get out much. I should warn you, I am evil. I know right now you’re probably saying: 'We’ve had plenty of evil on our show.' To that, I say NAY. You have never seen evil like me. I am beyond evil, we need a new word for the evil that I am. I've been working on that, but with my French horn lessons and the babysitting, there's just no time."

Voiced by: Bruce Dow

Label: The Super Villain

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon), Wâneyihtam Maskwak (Confused Bears)

Placements: 5th^*Disqualified (Guilt by Association after the stunt Scarlett pulled) (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 10 (TDPI)

A diminutive, pudgy, purple-haired boy who proclaims himself to be an evil genius of the highest order. Max is a shamelessly Card-Carrying Villain with dreams of world domination that he believes will start with Total Drama. However, his ineptness at pulling off evil deeds suggests otherwise.

---

• Achilles' Heel: He is prone to Evil Gloating, which often gets him in trouble.
• Animals Hate Him: He is attacked by animals a lot.
• Arc Hero: To spite wanting to be villain he ends up being integral to defeating the real Big Bad Scarlett who'd been a False Friend, using him as a pawn and tricking him into hurting himself all season. He still gets eliminated alongside her immediately after because Chris was sick of Card-Carrying Villain's.
• Attention Whore: His desire to be a super-villain is certainly some kind of cry for attention.
• The Beast Master: It seems this way when his helmet turns a grease pig evil, but this is subverted when it betrays him.
• Big Bad Wannabe: His entire gimmick is acting like a blatantly obvious super-villain, but instead, he comes off as Laughably Evil.
• Bungling Inventor: He has created an assortment of evil inventions during his time on the show, but they scarcely ever work and mostly backfire on him. If they do happen to work, it's usually because Scarlett has tweaked them.
• Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Almost every time he acts evil, it bites him in the butt.
• Card-Carrying Villain: His title is "The Super-Villain", plus he never stops reminding everyone of how "evil" he is.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • "Time to EVIL!", which he literally states as such.
  • "REVENGE!!!", when he feels that he has been wronged.
• Cheaters Never Prosper: He's extremely unsuccessful for a cheater in Total Drama.
• Cloudcuckoolander: His immature obsession to be a scheming villain and over-the-top attitude definitely makes him a strange character.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While he usually sucks at being evil, there are moments when he is genuinely competent, for example when he shocks Ella in episode 5 with help from Scarlett.
• Cuteness Proximity: Happens to him when he's around babies.
• Depraved Dwarf: Very downplayed. He tries to be a highly menacing villain in front of others, but comes off as more of a mere annoyance to them (including both Chris and Scarlett).
• The Dragon: To Scarlett, though he doesn't know it.
• Establishing Character Moment: The speech he gives in his audition video gives a very clear indication of what he's like.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Is surprisingly good with babies and has a soft spot for them.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • He tells Samey that her jealousy towards Amy is the lowest form of evil.
  • He alongside all of Team Kinosewak glare at Sugar for laughing at Ella's heartbroken state.
  • Threatening to kill people is going too far even for him. After Scarlett reveals her true self, he is seen in the confessional in the Troubled Fetal Position, sucking his thumb out of fear.
• Evil Genius: He fancies himself as such, but he is not that bright.
• Evil Gloating: He often boasts about his evil accomplishments. When Scarlett is in the Cannon of Shame, he gloats about being the only villain left, which prompts Chris and Chef to throw him in the cannon with Scarlett, much to her dismay.
• Evil Is Hammy: By far the hammiest villain to ever appear on the show.
• Evil Is Petty: A lot of his evil schemes are rather childish, such as in "I Love You, Grease Pig", he takes great enjoyment in flinging grease onto Dave.
• Eviler than Thou: Or so he thinks. He comes to realize this couldn't be less true, once Scarlett reveals herself.
• Expy:
  • Of Dr. Evil. He has a nearly identical outfit, as well as the fact he's an Harmless Villain who relies on a Hyper-Competent Sidekick.
  • Of Eugene "Bling-Bling Boy" Hamilton. Both are short pudgy boys who are hammy Big Bad Wannabes whose evil schemes often backfire and most people don't take seriously.
• Fan Disservice: His pants drop in front of Scarlett.
• For the Evulz: Is evil just for the sake of it.
• Friendless Background: Acting like a supervillain doesn't exactly win friends over.
• Friend to All Children: He babysits and is extremely sweet to the babies in "Three Zones and a Baby".
• Genius Ditz: While he does have some legitimate moments of intelligence, such as coming up with evil gadgets (most of the things he invented worked, for one thing, even if they would go awry), he also has a severe lack of common sense and foresight that often puts his life on the line.
• Genre Refugee: Typically the contestants are based on Reality TV archetypes or teenage stereotypes, Max on the other hand looks and acts like he stepped right out of a wacky Saturday morning cartoon.
• Giant Scrap Robot: Max builds one of these in the intro; however, due to his incompetence, it promptly falls apart when he activates it.
• Gonk: The writers have outdone themselves to make him as ugly as possible: An oversized head, grey skin, purple hair, a pig nose, and multiple chins (although, this got briefly hindered during his moments with a baby while still being in the competition).
• Harmless Villain: Tries hard to be evil, but fails epically at it. Though there are moments where he is genuinely good at being bad, even if most of them are Scarlett's ideas. Lampshaded by Shawn in "Twinning Isn't Everything", where he praises Max's strategy in popping the opposing team's balloons, but reasons he isn't clever enough to have thought of it (and he's right to think that).
• Hoist by His Own Petard: At Scarlett's elimination, Max gloats about how he is now the only villain remaining, which causes him to get eliminated alongside her.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: According to his audition tape, part of the reason he signed up for Total Drama was so that he could meet people.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Pahkitew Island's designated pain magnet.
• Jerkass: Naturally, given that he is a wannabe super-villain.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he claims to be evil, he does have a soft spot for babies.
• Karmic Butt-Monkey: Nobody really cares for him, and he's on the receiving end of nearly all jokes. More often than not, he also brings his pain upon himself.
• Kick the Dog: He electrocutes sweet, innocent Ella using an electric eel and enjoys it. Even if it was Scarlett's idea.
• Large Ham: His brand of "villainy" is certainly not subtle.
• Laser-Guided Karma: The evil schemes he conjures up without Scarlett's help often backfire on him.
• Laughably Evil: He is one of the few villains whose sole purpose is for comic relief.
• Lesser of Two Evils: Contrary to what he believes, he is most certainly not the Big Bad.
• Mirror Character: To Scott. Being a born troublemaker who is also a Butt-Monkey on the villains' side. In addition, they are both hated by animals and get hurt on a regular basis.
  • With Scarlett becoming Izzy's Evil Counterpart, he ends up being one to Owen. Both are naïve, childlike Fat Idiot and The Load of their teams save a few Hidden Depths. Although Owen is a Kindhearted Simpleton without a malicious bone in his body, while Max considers himself an evil genius but is completely out of his depth. Owen was madly in love with Izzy when he knew she was crazy but their relationship was cut to an end when she revealed her super intelligence, Max was close and possibly attracted to Scarlett when he thought she was just a super-genius but when she turned out to be crazy he became absolutely terrified of her.
• The Napoleon: Downplayed, since he's not that seen as being significantly threatening in front of others.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The mean to Rodney's nice and Topher's in-between.
• Non-Gameplay Elimination: When Scarlett is booted off the island after attempting to blow up the other campers in "Scarlett Fever", Chris elects to have Max kicked off too after he boasts about picking up where Scarlett left off, having had enough of "evil".
• No-Neck Chump: Max is a short, pudgy boy whose head at cheek level makes a straight line down to his torso.
• Non-Standard Character Design: He has one of the most bizarre designs to date. He has extremely pale skin, an over-sized head with no neck (similar to Owen but with no point of separation of his head and body), a pig-like nose, purple hair, as well as being excessively short.
• The Not-Love Interest: He and Scarlett rarely have significant interaction with anyone but each other. A few characters seem to interpret them as a couple, and Max seems to think Scarlett could be attracted to him, but they firmly remain platonic friends/enemies.
• Obviously Evil: Parodied. He may be an incompetent villain, but he has almost every villain cliché crossed off the list.
• Only Friend: Scarlett. Or so he believes.
• Outside-Genre Foe: In a fictional animated reality show where most contestants are teen stereotypes (i.e. Jerk Jocks, Alpha Bitches, and Stereotypical Nerds), Max looks and acts like the main antagonist of a wacky Saturday morning cartoon.
• Poke the Poodle: Most of his "evil" schemes are minor annoyances at best.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's the hammy and egotistical red to Scarlett's cold and calculating blue. Until Scarlett reveals her true colors, anyway.
• Sarcasm-Blind: He doesn't realize that Scarlett was being sarcastic about his evil genius until she reveals her true self.
• Ship Tease: With Scarlett.
• Simpleton Voice: Played with. He believes that he is an Evil Genius, although he's shown to not be very bright.
• Skewed Priorities: He's more interested in causing evil than he is in helping his team.
• Small Name, Big Ego: As far as his super-villainy is concerned.
• Smart People Build Robots: He made one in the opening. Though it should be emphasized, he only thinks he's smart, and the quality of his robot reflects this statement.
• Smug Snake: He is overconfident in his villainy skills, and it eventually leads to his demise.
• Still Sucks Thumb: When Scarlett reveals herself as a dangerous criminal mastermind in "Scarlett Fever", a terrified Max holds himself in a Troubled Fetal Position while he sucks his thumb.
• Stupid Evil: A wannabe supervillain who is a complete moron.
• Supervillain Lair:
  • In his Audition Video, what Max did to his bedroom, sure doesn't look child friendly.
  • In "So, This Is My Team?", he also scopes out a cave, which would subsequently be used by Team Maskwak as their quarters, to use as a secret lair; however he changes his mind after encountering bats.
• Take Over the World: What he aspires to do.
• Too Dumb to Live: He decides it's a good idea to randomly guess combinations to a locked door after Chris tells him the door would shock him for inputting a wrong combination. He then re-enters a wrong combination he had already tried and got shocked for earlier. Scarlett allows him to keep entering combinations, concluding that either he will eventually enter the correct combination, or the lock system will short itself out after administering too many shocks. Or he dies trying.

  Max: Let's try "1-2-3" again. (the door shocks him, again)
  Scarlett: Keep going. I just KNOW you'll get it.

• Un Evil Laugh: Max's Evil Laugh is so ridiculous sounding it comes off as laughable rather than intimidating.
• Villainous Friendship: With Scarlett. Type IV with Shades of Type I later on.
• Villains Out Shopping: He hasn't had time to carry out his plans of global domination because he's busy with French horn lessons and babysitting.
• Vomit Indiscretion Shot: In "Hurl and Go Seek", he vomits on a control panel Scarlett was trying to figure out how to hack, shorting it out.
  Max: Evil vomits!

Rodney

"I just want to say if you pick me, I'll be leaving behind my special lady Debbie. We haven't actually spoken yet, but the second we do I know it's gonna be love. Same goes for Rachel, Alicia, Tammy...Christine, Becky, Mary Lou, Mary Jane...then there's that girl from the store. I think it was a girl. It could've been a mannequin. But one thing's for sure, it's true love!"

Label: The Country Boy

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon)

Placements: 11th (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 4 (TDPI)

A big, burly farm boy whose hulking form belies his shy and gentle personality. However, he has no social skills when it comes to talking to girls and mistakes even the smallest form of interaction with the opposite sex as a sign of a blossoming romance.

---

• All Love Is Unrequited: He falls in love with every girl he meets but is incapable of expressing his feelings properly, resulting in all his relationships being woefully one-sided.
• The Big Guy: He is the second tallest and heaviest camper among the third generation, and largely there as Dumb Muscle.
• Black Bead Eyes: He is one of a few non-bespectacled characters to have them.
• Buffy Speak: When he tries to profess his love for a girl, his words and phrases often come out as this.
• Can't Spit It Out: His main gimmick, which applies to any girl he talks to, with the exception of Sugar.
• Childish Tooth Gap: One of few characters to have a noticeable tooth gap and also one of the less intelligent ones.
• Everyone Has Standards: Rodney falls for every girl he encounters, but his dialogue while calling out Samey shows that he's not into mean girls.
• Farm Boy: Labeled the "Country Boy".
• Flat Character: He has little personality outside of crushing on any girl he sees.
• Fool for Love: A severe lack of female interaction at home makes him one.
• Gentle Giant: Rodney is extremely muscular and is the biggest of the third generation. He is very unassuming, cute, and handsome.
• Growling Gut: His stomach growls when he's hungry.
• Half-Witted Hillbilly: Rodney is a Farm Boy and not very bright.
• Hopeless Suitor: None of his crushes even know that he's fallen for them.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: He is the huge guy to practically every girl he crushes on, except for Jasmine.
• Kindhearted Simpleton: Rodney is a sweet-natured guy who despite his dysfunctionally simplistic outlook on romance always tries to let the girls he thinks are in love with him down gently.
• The Load: In the Truth or Scare challenge.
• Love Makes You Dumb: Or maybe in his case, he loves because he's dumb. With him, it's kind of hard to tell.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The romantic feminine boy to Jasmine's survivalist masculine girl.
• Massive Numbered Siblings: He mentions having five little brothers.
• Mirror Character:
  • Rodney is the third generation's sensitive Gentle Giant, much like DJ for the first gen and Brick for the second gen. However, Rodney is a hopeless romantic while DJ and Brick were largely aromantic.
  • Rodney is similar to Scott, as they're both Half Witted Farm Boys and have red hair. However, their personalities are day and night, with Rodney being a Gentle Giant while Scott was a Card-Carrying Villain during Revenge of the Island while becoming somewhat nicer in All Stars. Also, Rodney is eliminated only four episodes in during his only season, whereas Scott has made the final four of both seasons he competed in. The one thing the two really had in common was their taste and approach to romance.
  • Within the same generation, he is one to Sugar. Both are the Big Guys of their respective teams, and both have a rural background. While Rodney was a love-struck Gentle Giant who was ousted only four episodes in, Sugar was a sadistic Fat Bitch who persisted until Pahkitew Island's penultimate episode.
• Missing Mom: He mentions living with his dad and five little brothers, but doesn't explain his mother's absence. Word of God states that Rodney's mother was the unfortunate victim of a cattle stampede when he was little, leading him to grow up without any significant female figures throughout his childhood.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The nice to Max's mean and Topher's in-between.
• Serial Romeo: Rodney thinks that every girl who has any interaction with him is the one for him and that the interaction equals the initiation of a relationship. In reality, none of the girls know what he's talking about when he inevitably breaks up with them to move on to the next girl. The fact that he can't form coherent sentences when talking with girls he's into doesn't help.
• Super-Toughness: Rodney is strong, but his body's ability to do impact damage is more pronounced. In "So, Uh, This Is My Team?", he obliviously sinks up to his knees into the beach when he lands while the sand doesn't give way to anyone else. As well, when he's blasted of the island by means of the Cannon of Shame in "I Love You, I Love You Knots", he hits a battleship and sinks it. However, in "Twinning Isn't Everything", Amy, a tiny cheerleader, punches him in the gut, and he flinches.
• Tempting Fate: Rodney taunted Clucky the chicken when he didn't have to do a truth challenge for the tiebreaker. However, he was unable to win and was zapped (with his team) by said chicken multiple times when it got the remote.
• Too Dumb to Live: He tells an angry chicken that he likes eating eggs for breakfast. It ends with him getting severely electrocuted.
• Unexplained Recovery: Upon being eliminated, Rodney is shot by the Cannon of Shame against a battleship, sinking it. However, given how he appears as one of the options for helpers in the finale, it can be implied that Rodney did not only survive but didn't get hurt as he was a possible option for helper. As for the battleship's crew...
• Youthful Freckles: He's a young man who, like most gingers, has freckles.

Samey

"I'm Sammy, NOT Samey. I don't even know why I said that, no one has ever called me Samey. I mean, who would, right? Anyway, I don't have a sister or anything. It's pretty much just me, and I'm pretty confident, because of the no sister thing."

Label: The Good Twin

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon)

Placements: 10th (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 5 (TDPI)

The twin sister of Amy. Sammy (or Samey, as her sister calls her) is also a cheerleader but has lived her entire life under the thumb of her bullying sibling. As a result, she is quite timid and has low self-esteem, believing Amy's boasts of being the better sister to be true.

---

• Aborted Arc: Both her trying to be her own person as well as her friendship with Jasmine. The former is dropped after she tricks Amy into being eliminated in her place while the latter is dropped after she's eliminated to the point where it feels like it never even happened.
• Always Second Best: How she is viewed by Amy.
• Apologises a Lot: Seems to have inherited this from Zoey.
• Arc Hero: Her sister Amy is the very first villain of the seasons series of antagonists and she's the one who takes the brunt of her abuse. Her learning to stand up to Amy, getting her eliminated and subsequently impersonating her is a major story arc of the fist five episodes. But after that the season moves on to other stories and she and her sister are both forgotten about.
• Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: She finally gets revenge on Amy in "Twinning Isn't Everything".
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Like her sister, she's one of the more feminine members of the team and wears a cheerleader outfit that reveals her stomach.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: Aside from not having a genuine mole (where she later fakes having one to impersonate her twin sister), the biggest difference between her and Amy is their moral alignments, where Samey herself is genuinely much nicer in comparison (even if she gets less popularity or concern from others due to Amy's social manipulation).
• Beleaguered Assistant: Jasmine calls her out on this, saying that Samey doesn't have to do everything Amy tells her. While Jasmine appreciates Samey's help in foraging for food, Jasmine wants it to be Samey's own choice and not because Amy told her to help.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Her cruel sister Amy learns this the hard way.
• Blatant Lies: In her audition video, Samey claims that she doesn't have a sister, yet Amy calls for her towards the end.
• Bond One-Liner: She gives one after Amy is shot out of the Cannon of Shame in "Twinning Isn't Everything", even doing it as a Title Drop.
• Bully and Wimp Pairing: A rare female example, she is the Wimp to Amy's Bully; however, Samey eventually learns to stand up for herself.
• Butt-Monkey: No thanks to Amy, who often treats her sister as her personal slave.
  Chris: I was worried about cruelty to animals during this challenge, but I'm fine with cruelty to Samey.
• The Cassandra: She tries to warn others about Amy's malicious behavior. Unfortunately for her, almost no one believes in her, except for Jasmine, who thankfully understood the younger twin sister's issue with her older twin sister.
• Character Development: As she progressively learns to stand up to Amy. Contrast her in episode 1 and episode 5, where she started off being kicked around by her sister, but by the end, she is not afraid to fight back.
• The Cutie: A much better example for this trope than her twin sister Amy.
• A Day in the Limelight: Her and Amy's conflict is focused on heavily during "Twinning Isn't Everything."
• Decoy Protagonist: Is initially set up as one of the main protagonists of Pahkitew Island, with her rivalry with Amy and friendship with Jasmine both getting a large amount of focus. She is then eliminated during "A Blast from the Past" approximately a third of the way through the season, and makes no further appearances.
• The Dividual: Amy invokes this, defining Samey as nothing more than a "lesser Amy." While the twins hate each other, their character arc is intertwined and they have little to nothing outside of their conflict.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": She wishes to be called by her real name "Sammy", but her sister calls her "Samey". Much to her chagrin, Chris decides to roll with it and states that she will be referred to as "Samey" going forward.
• Downer Ending: In the end, she gets eliminated before the merge, never gets any reward money, has to return home with her Big Sister Bully and will have to deal with her at least until she moves out of their parents' home, and the Only Friend she's ever made completely forgets about her after she's officially eliminated.
• Embarrassing Nickname: As if "Samey" wasn't a disparaging enough name, Amy manages to come up with a new, even more embarrassing nickname: "Spareamy".
  Amy: (in the confessional) Okay, since when does anyone take Samey's side? She's just a wannabe me, a "spare Amy"! (gasping upon realizing what she just said) Her name should be "Spareamy"! I'm going to change her birth certificate as soon as we get home!
• Extreme Doormat: She allows Amy to walk all over her, up until "Twinning Isn't Everything".
• Friendless Background: She tells Jasmine that she doesn't have many friends due to Amy's bullying.
• The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: It reaches its climax when Amy returns in "A Blast from the Past".
• Good Counterpart: To Mal, he was a cruel, sadistic, psychopath who impersonated his kind, mild-mannered alter ego in order to avoid elimination. Samey is a sweet, naïve girl who impersonated her cruel, emotionally abusive twin sister to avoid getting eliminated. Both only maintained the ruse for a limited amount of time.
• Grew a Spine: She considers standing up to Amy in "I Love You, Grease Pig!", then does so in the following episode.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: In contrast to her sister.
• The Heart: Serves as this for Team Kinosewak, being the most compassionate member of her team.
• I Am Not Pretty: One of the things Amy has convinced Samey she is better at is being "the pretty one"...despite the fact that they're identical twins who look exactly alike. As Jasmine puts it, they're both the pretty one.
• Identical Twin ID Tag: Invoked. Samey mentions in a confessional that she let her twin sister Amy shave her head in the past, with Amy claiming that it was for people to "tell them apart".
• Impersonating the Evil Twin: From "Twinning Isn't Everything" to "A Blast from the Past" she pretends to be her cruel sister. During that period, Jasmine has to remind her to act "more Amy, less Samey".
• Informed Ability: Her label and her outfit suggest that she's a cheerleader, but any related gymnastic abilities never come up in the show. The outfit seems entirely cosmetic.
• Lady in Red: Like her sister, she also wears a red cheerleader outfit.
• The Lancer: In a different way to Amy, with Samey being Jasmine’s main sidekick and trusted ally on Team Kinosewak. She also contrasts Jasmine’s personality by being shy and submissive, while Jasmine is confident and authoritative.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The Light to Amy's Dark.
• Meaningful Name: Her nickname is one more letter than the word "same", and arose specifically because she is the younger twin sister of Amy.
• Mirror Character:
  • She's the Lindsay to Amy's Heather. Both girls are blonde and kindhearted.
  • Within her own generation, she is similar to Ella. Both are the Nice Girls of their respective teams, and both are abused by a blonde-haired Alpha Bitch (Amy towards Samey, and Sugar towards Ella). However, the major difference between the two is that Samey Grew a Spine and stood up against her wicked twin sister, while Ella, as an Actual Pacifist, never shows any aggression towards Sugar and even attempted to befriend her.
• Nice Girl: In contrast to her Jerkass sister.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The nice to Amy's mean and Jasmine's in between.
• Oh, Crap!: When Amy returns for revenge.
• Only Known By Her Nickname: Her real name is Sammy, short for Samantha, but Amy forces the name Samey on her.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Samey's kind-hearted, polite, and generous demeanor is a stark contrast to her sister's cruel, rude and selfish attitude.
• Rage Breaking Point: After enduring nearly a lifetime of bullying from Amy, Samey's suppressed anger all comes out during her time on Pahkitew Island.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Amy's Red.
• Revenge: Samey finally has enough of all the abuse she takes and has her revenge by making Amy eat a poisonous fruit and getting eliminated in her place.
• The Scapegoat: She always shoulders the blame for Amy's mistakes.
  (after the twins come out of a greased tube with their team's pig)
  Amy: I'm sweaty and disgusting! I look like you!
  Samey: I'm sorry! (tries to brush Amy off) But you're the one who scared the pig.
  Amy: (she slaps Samey's hand away) You beg my pardon?! Whose fault is this?!
  Samey: (in a defeated tone) Mine.
  Amy: Yes! Always!
• Shipper on Deck: She supports Jasmine and Shawn getting together.
• Theme Twin Naming: Invoked against her will. Her name is Sammy, but Amy calls her Samey to emphasize that she's a "lesser Amy."
• Took a Level in Badass: At the start, Samey was an Extreme Doormat to Amy who let herself get regularly abused, but by the end, she physically fights her sister for her own rights.

Eliminated in: Episode 10 (TDPI)

A highly intelligent girl with a tendency towards speaking in a scientifically verbose manner. Scarlett appears to be a shy, polite, and soft-spoken young woman, but this personality is merely a façade for her true character - one far more sinister and psychotic than anyone could have guessed.

---

• Aborted Arc: She was originally going to be Pahkitew Island's main villain but this was changed to making her a one-episode threat.
• All There in the Manual: According to her character bio, the lenses in her glasses are fake implying that she wears them as part of her ruse of being the Hidden Villain. This is further evidenced by her taking them off in "Scarlett Fever" when she's in full villain mode and goes about things without her glasses on.
• Anime Hair: When she lets out her Prim and Proper Bun and reveals her true self.
• Anything but That!: She begs Chris not to blast her away concurrently with Max, as by this point she wants nothing to do with him anymore.
• Ax-Crazy: Her true self is this. To the extent where she tried to blow up the island which would have killed everyone.
• Awesome by Analysis: Uses her intellect and observation skills to come up with impressive Batman Gambits, especially when she figured out the island was artificial, giving her the idea of using the command controls to blackmail Chris into giving her the money.
• The Baroness: Scarlett is of the Rosa Klebb subtype due to her librarian-eques appearance. However, Scarlett's plainness was just a front to her true self. Unlike many Rosa Klebb Baronesses, Scarlett is simply blasted off the island and not killed off.
• Batman Gambit: She often uses these to get ahead.
  • In "Mo Monkey Mo Problems", she suggests playing "Monkey See Monkey Do" with a tree full of monkeys in order to retrieve their team's gold coin.
  • She does this with Max several times.
  • Knowing that Chris is a habitual liar, she tricks the other campers by stating that they can't disable the island's self-destruct sequence from the control room, directing them to another room. The others believe her, only to walk into an ambush of robotic Chris drones.
  • Ironically, she falls victim to one. Sky knew that Scarlett wouldn't open the door to the control room unless it was Chris with the million dollars. Sky and the others use a busted Chris robot to trick Scarlett into opening the control room door, which results in Scarlett getting hogtied by her hair by Sugar and the island's self-destruct sequence halted.
• Beleaguered Assistant: Max treats her like one, much to her annoyance.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: Lampshaded by Topher in "Three Zones and a Baby".
  Topher: Um... When did Scarlett get so scary?
• Big Bad Ensemble: With Sugar of Pahkitew Island.
• Big "NO!": She gives one after Max throws away her hacked remote control for the island's computer systems.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Scarlett has everyone believe that she's a quiet, shy, and awkward nerd up until she revealed her true personality in "Scarlett Fever".
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Gets hit with this hard during the last five minutes of "Scarlett Fever"; she has complete control over Pahkitew Island and the contestants at her mercy, either hand her the money or she lets the island self-destruct and kill them. What happens next? She lets the control room door open, leaving her wide open to Sugar giving her a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown and foiling her Evil Plan, and all because Max tricked her with a very obviously beaten up Chris robot who was visibly glitching. Never mind that this came from the smartest contestant in the season.
• Chessmaster Sidekick: She assists Max in his ridiculous evil schemes and is clearly the brains of the two, but he thinks of her as nothing more than a sidekick. She does not take well to this knowledge.
• Combat, Diplomacy, Stealth: In terms of strategies, Scarlett is the Stealth, she spent the whole season hiding her true nature under the guise of a shy, nerdy Teen Genius, plotting behind everyone's back to take over the island and using Max as The Scapegoat to fulfil her need to cheat and hurt people, to Sugar's Combat and Amy/Topher's Diplomacy.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The first and only Big Bad who stays hidden from the audience for the majority of the season, with only small hints being revealed of her true nature along the way, before The Reveal where she shows her true antagonist colors for one episode before she's gone.
• A Day in the Limelight: "Scarlett Fever."
• Deadpan Snarker: When she's around Max.
• Death Glare: Gives one to Topher in "Three Zones and a Baby", scaring him.
• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • She shares in a confessional that her brother pulled her hair once. She, in turn, made his remote control toys come to life and attack him at night. For six years. She states that he is still in therapy for it.
  • She does this again when she attempted to destroy the island solely because Chris refused to give her the prize money.
• Distaff Counterpart:
  • Her bio actually describes her as being a female Cameron, due to both being Impossible Geniuses who excels at handling technology.
  • To Mal; much like him, she fools everyone into thinking that she is nice, is successful at doing so, is a Card-Carrying Villain, is taken seriously when her true nature is revealed, has no redeeming or comedic qualities, and is sociopathic.
• Disc-One Final Boss: She is yet another guest villain in a season that lacks a true main antagonist. She is eliminated in the very episode she reveals her true nature.
• The Dog Was the Mastermind: When she reveals her true self.
  Scarlett: This is the real me! The Scarlett I've kept hidden until now! Biding my time; waiting to strike! I... am... EVIL!!! (cackles evilly)
• Dork in a Sweater: Befitting her librarian-esque appearance and high intelligence, she wears a sweater.
• The Dragon: Max believes that she is his sidekick when in reality, he's her pawn.
• Dragon-in-Chief: Most of Max's successful evil deeds were her ideas to begin with and in the grand scheme of the season.
• Enfant Terrible: She couldn't have been any older than nine or ten when she started using her brother's toys to attack him.
• Evil All Along: Downplayed. While most antagonists hide their true nature, but let out their real intentions to the audience, there was almost no sign of Scarlett being as evil as she turned out to be. That being said, she was still blatantly the brains of Max's operation, always demonstrated a general Lack of Empathy, and certainly didn't go out of her way to seem nice.
• Evil Counterpart: She's pretty much an evil mixture of Harold and Izzy's alter ego Brainzilla.
• Evil Genius: She is one of the smartest contestants in the series and also among the evilest.
• Evil Is Burning Hot: Like most villains, she is accompanied by a burning silhouette in the episode where she reveals her true nature.
• Evil Is Hammy: Played with. Early in the season, she maintains a low-key personality to keep attention off of her; however, when she reveals her true self, her personality becomes more flamboyant.
• Evil Laugh: In "Scarlett Fever", she gives a more subdued laugh in the confessional while it becomes more flamboyant when she reveals her true self to Max.
• Evil Plan: Her end game in "Scarlett Fever" was to take over control of the island's command center, then use it to blackmail Chris into giving her the prize money or she would let the island blow up.
• Evil Redhead: Even though it's more of a ginger.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Her voice becomes noticeably deeper and raspier when she reveals her true self.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: When she reveals her true nature, she lets down her Prim and Proper Bun.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: At first glance, she seems to be an awkward and rather shy genius. However, that seemingly nonthreatening façade hides an extremely volatile personality and a dangerous mind.
• Faux Affably Evil: At first she's like a weird but friendly and polite nerd, but she's really a calculating and ruthless psychopath with a Lack of Empathy.
• Fiery Redhead: Hidden for most of the season, but eventually revealed as an aspect of her true nature. When Scarlett reveals her true self, her hair even closely resembles fire.
• Foreshadowing: In her audition video, at the top-right-hand corner of the of the screen there is a globe with knives lodged in it.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: She shows no remorse for her actions.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: After her final revelation.
• The Glasses Come Off: When she reveals her true self.
• Go-Getter Girl: Like Courtney, she intends to use the prize money to better herself. However, the reason she gives in her audition, to attend the university of her choosing, is just a front to her real intentions.
• Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Her irises become smaller after her reveal.
• Good Hair, Evil Hair: Before her reveal, Scarlett wears her hair neatly in a Prim and Proper Bun. When she reveals her true personality, Scarlett's hair becomes unkempt and closely resembles fire.
• Hidden Villain: The first of her kind for Total Drama villains, where the viewers don't get to know about her true nature until several episodes in.
• Hate Sink: While more subtle than Amy, once her true nature is revealed, Scarlett is shown to be every bit as vile while being far more capable. She proudly admits to traumatizing her brother as a child so that he still needs therapy to this day. She also attempts to destroy the island and kill everyone still on it.
• Humiliation Conga: Her attempt to blackmail Chris by threatening the contestants lives blows up in her face when Max, of all people tricks her to opening the door to the control room using a busted up Chris bot, she ends up on the receiving end of a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown by Sugar, gets tied up with her own hair, and is blasted off the island with her least favorite contestant.
• Hyper-Competent Sidekick: To Max. The only reason any of his evil schemes succeeded was because Scarlett came up with them in the first place. She gets more than fed up with it.
  Scarlett: I... am... not... your... SIDEKICK!!!
• Irony: Max, the person she saw as completely incompetent and who she used to take over the show, manages to trick her (even if the plan was Sky's idea), which leads to her plans being foiled.
• Knight of Cerebus: "Scarlett Fever" is widely regarded as one of, if not the darkest episodes in the series, and it is all thanks to Scarlett's true personality being revealed.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Despite getting away with abusing Max throughout the season, her downfall ultimately comes from him.
• Mad Scientist: In her audition tape, Scarlett is sitting in what appears to be a laboratory, full of test tubes, flasks, and Bunsen burners, as well as a globe that's been stabbed by knives!
• Manipulative Bitch: She gives Heather and Alejandro a run for their money in the way she controls Max the whole season.
• Mask of Sanity: Throughout Pahkitew Island she appears to be one of the more normal contestants, oftentimes contrasting Max... and then "Scarlett Fever" plays.
• Meaningful Name: She explains she was named after an English surname derived from the occupational word for cloth. Also, it matches her hair color.
• More Deadly Than the Male: With her true nature revealed, she has proven herself that she's actually much more threatening and menacing than Max is.
• Motor Mouth: Normally, Scarlett is The Quiet One; however, when she starts speaking, she doesn't stop, especially when explaining something scientific.
• Mirror Character:
  • She is basically a more serious and evil version of Brainzilla, Izzy's super-intelligent persona. Scarlett also ends up being as psychotic as Izzy; however, Izzy's craziness is Played for Laughs while Scarlett's is Played for Drama.
  • She is also one to Harold as they're red-headed, bespectacled nerds. However, Scarlett appears to have a little more common sense than Harold. And Harold isn't a homicidal psychopath.
  • However "Evil Scarlett" is often compared with Mal, being the only other true sociopath on the show.
  • She's also what Courtney would have been had she been better at hiding her vindictive side.
  • To Eva, both were the main antagonist for just one episode in a series that usually employs bigger Arc Villains, and the episode ends with their elimination. However Eva was a ultimately just a temporary distraction from Heather, the true Big Bad of the season. She was brought back unexpectedly and removed just as quickly and outside of her berserker strength didn't really have any skills that would make her a significant threat. Scarlett was subtly built up throughout the series and although only a villain for one episode is considered the true Big Bad of the season because she massively outclassed all the other villains in intelligence, threat and power.
• Nerdy Bully: At first she seems like a standard nerd who befriends Max the Laughably Evil Big Bad Wannabe, but is later revealed to be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing and has tricked Max into hurting himself multiple times for her own amusement.
• Non-Gameplay Elimination: She's booted off the island after attempting to blow up the other campers on it in "Scarlett Fever".
• The Not-Love Interest: She and Max rarely have significant interaction with anyone but each other. A few characters seem to interpret them as a couple, and Max seems to think Scarlett could be attracted to him, but they firmly remain platonic friends/enemies.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: She appears non-threatening at first, but over the course of the season, her true colors are revealed.
• Omnidisciplinary Scientist: There's no limit to her knowledge.
• Only Friend: Max. Early on at least. However, unbeknownst to Max, Scarlett tries to get him eliminated numerous times. She failed.
• Out-Gambitted: By Max of all people.
• Power Makes Your Hair Grow: A variant. She wore glasses and kept her hair in a bun as part of maintaining the guise of an awkward and shy genius. However, when she reveals herself as a villain and takes over the island, she lets out her Anime Hair, emphasizing her true nature.
• Prim and Proper Bun: She wears one throughout her run, but she lets it down when she reveals her true self.
• Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: She does this at times to get a point across, especially when she reveals her true self.
  Scarlett: (in confessional) It's official; I... hate... Max!
• The Quiet One: Her label "the Quiet Brainiac". However, when she does speak, she can become a Motor Mouth.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: When she reveals her true self to Max; however, her irises revert back to their normal color shortly afterward.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the cold and calculating blue to Max's hammy and egotistical red. Until she reveals her true colours, anyway.
• Sarcasm Mode: How she puts up with Max.
  Scarlett: Wow. That's so evil.
• Satellite Character: Doesn't seem to interact with anyone besides Max. This gets downplayed in later episodes where she starts interacting with more characters.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Whenever she explains something to her teammates, she often starts with a long and drawn-out explanation, and when her teammates give her confused looks about what she just said, she is forced to give the short version.
• Ship Tease: With Max.
• Shrinking Violet: Subverted as part of her Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon personality. At first glance, she acted quiet and shy, but then she gradually drops it as she reveals her true nature later on.
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Significant given that she is a major antagonist of the season.
• Sliding Scale of Antagonist Vileness: She is easily the evilest Pahkitew Island contestant, and possibly the evilest contestant period as her actions would have resulted in the destruction of the island and the deaths of Max, Jasmine, Shawn, Sky and Sugar. Even Chris doesn't approve of her actions and immediately eliminates her once the self-destruct switch is disarmed, rather than prolong things for his own enjoyment like he usually does.
• Smart People Speak the Queen's English: Much more evident in her audition video, where she actually explains she's of English descent.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: Wears glasses, and rivals Cameron in intelligence.
• The Smart Girl: It's between her and Cameron for the most book-smart character of the whole series.
• The Sociopath: She's quite willing to kill everyone on the island simply to get the money.
• Spock Speak: She speaks very formally.
• The Starscream: After she reveals her hatred for Max, Scarlett tries to get him voted out every opportunity she gets. Even though she's very smart, she has failed every time.
• Surrounded by Idiots: How she views Max. To a lesser extent, this is how she views Jasmine and Topher when they show confusion about her Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness.
  Scarlett: (in the confessional, in an annoyed tone) Use... little... words.
• Talkative Loon: In the English airings.
• Take Over the World: The globe in her bedroom has two knives sticking out of it. This implies that this is her true aspiration in life.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: Scarlett dresses plainly as an average bookworm to hide her true villainous nature.
• Villainous Friendship: With Max. Type IV with Shades of Type I later on.
  • Subverted as of Episode 6 where she starts trying to eliminate him. Unfortunately for her, none of her attempts have worked.
  • Despite that, she still helps Max when they are both sick from food poisoning during the first individual challenge at the merge. However, she only stayed with him knowing that he would be easy elimination fodder.
• Vocal Evolution: She has a much stronger English accent in her audition video.
• Walking Spoiler: Revealing her true nature, as well as a couple of foreshadowing bits in the previous episode or two, changes just about everything the viewing audience thought they knew about her.
• The Woman Behind the Man: She strings Max along for the whole season, and has him carry out her plans while diverting attention away from herself.
• Xanatos Gambit: How she views letting Max keep trying the control panel to the island's control panel, either he gets it open, either by somehow guessing the right combination or by getting it to short out, or he dies trying, which she also considers a win.

Topher

"Get ready for the Topher experience."

Voiced by: Christopher Jacot

Label: The Chris Wannabe

Teams: Pimâpotew Kinosewak (Floating Salmon)

Placements: 8th (TDPI)

Eliminated in: Episode 8 (TDPI)

A massive fanboy of Chris as every bit as arrogant as the host himself. Topher constantly fawns over Chris' skills as a reality show host and his ability to come up with life-threatening challenges. However, he secretly plans to replace Chris as the show's host.

---

• Ambiguously Gay: Topher has a huge amount of hero worship towards Chris. It does look as if Topher wants to take over Chris' job as host of the series but he has behaved effeminately and made some questionable comments towards Chris.
• Ascended Fanboy: Topher is a credible candidate for the position of Chris McLean's No. 1 Fan. Not only is Topher unfazed by his idol's sadism, he actually relishes it. When he's finally old enough to participate in a season of Total Drama, his initial focus is on staying around Chris and watching him host. After only one day, though, he decides he'd like it better to have Chris's job instead.
• Attention Whore: A very serious case of it, as he is always seen trying to hog Chris' spotlight or shoving his face in the camera.
• Big "YES!": In "Three Zones and a Baby", he gives one when he thinks that he's going to take over as host of Total Drama. Unfortunately, he does this in an avalanche zone costing his team the challenge.
• Cats Are Mean: Topher's cat, Chef, attacks him during his audition. Unlike Jasmine's cat Whiskers, Chef's attack is justified because Topher woke him up by shouting into a megaphone.
• Combat, Diplomacy, Stealth: In terms of strategies, Topher is the Diplomacy along with Amy, not so much to his teammates but to Chis, constantly sucking up to him and playing Teacher's Pet, then trying to lower his self-esteem with Stealth Insult's. Followed by a failed attempt to go behind his back and charm the producers into making him host. Compared to Sugar's Combat and Scarlett's Stealth.
• Coordinated Clothes: Topher wears clothes in exactly the same colors as his idol Chris. Chris is initially flattered, but when Topher begins his scheme to replace him, the fun comes to an end.
• Dumb Blond: His hair is somewhere between dark blond and light brown. Regardless, Topher is not very bright.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite his selfishness and vanity, he seemed genuinely concerned for Ella when she was electrocuted and knocked into the water by Max.
• Fatal Flaw: His obsession with upstaging Chris is what ultimately results in his downfall. Throughout the season, Topher flew under the radar quite a bit aside from the odd comment on him from one of his teammates, but ultimately, Topher for a while never had much of a chance to be voted off. That was until the eighth episode, where upon making another jab at Chris's age, Chris winds up upping the difficulty out of spite for Topher by having them escort babies, and from then on, Topher continues to be a hinderance to his team by waiting for a phone call that'll allow him to take Chris's place. When he does get said call (who is later revealed to be Chris himself messing with Topher), he ends up triggering an avalanche that costs his team the win and his spot in the competition.
• Foil: To Heather and Alejandro, both of whom have previously tried playing Teacher's Pet with Chris to earn special treatment. But they were only putting on an act around him and in reality couldn't stand him, whereas Topher was genuinely obsessed with Chris to the point of I Just Want to Be You. Also to Owen and Beth who were nice to Chris because they're all loving heroes and in doing so were able to gain some level of favor from him but even they had trouble dealing with him sometimes. Finally to Izzy, who's too disconnected from reality to really have any malice towards anyone, Chris shows her some favoritism but only because she naturally amuses him.
• Hidden Depths: At first he seems like a sycophantic, peppy ditz who only entered the competition so that he could meet his idol. Then he manages to steal Chris' phone...
• It's All About Me: Like his idol, Topher is extremely egocentric.
• Keet: He gets excitable when he's around Chris. And much like Ella, Topher's enthusiasm annoys Chris to no end.
• The Load: He isn't good for anything other than looking pretty; this is especially the case in "Three Zones and a Baby" where his idiocy costs his team the win. Not that he cared.
• Meaningful Name: Chris + Topher = Christopher.
• Mirror Character:
  • An excessively dedicated fan who obsesses over and annoys a sadistic host? Hmm, sounds a lot like Sierra. However, unlike Sierra, Topher wants to become Chris.
  • He's also comparable to Justin from Island and Action, who was also vain and obsessed with his appearance and doesn't try to contribute or help his team during challenges.
  • He's also similar to Dakota from Revenge of the Island, considering that he's an annoying Attention Whore who entered the competition in order to get some camera time. Unlike Dakota, Topher was shown to be even more self-centered and vain who spent most of the season fawning and sucking up to Chris and barely made any friends during his time on Pahkitew Island and never returned back to the competition after being eliminated, unlike Dakota.
  • To Blaineley, she was a Token Adult Distaff Counterpart to Chris who he initially admired but she eventually began to drive him crazy by acting like his equal and not respecting his property until he ended up physically dragging her out the plane, she also claimed to have been the first person asked to host the show but turned it down. He was a teenage Chris Wannabe who initially impressed Chris with his Teacher's Pet routine but eventually started to drive him crazy with his Stealth Insults and attempts to undermine him. He never had a chance of being host but kept scheming to replace Chris until he got tired of him and tricked him into thinking it was happening to humiliate him before ejecting him off the island.
  • To Geoff after he Took a Level in Jerkass in Action. Becoming the host of his own talk show gradually turned him into a teenage version of Chris and he began to alienate his girlfriend and all of his friends until eventually, they all called him on this and he Took a Level in Kindness again. Topher however never formed any friendships while on the show and remained a junior Chris until he was kicked off.
• Mr. Exposition: He tries to provide commentary for his actions as well for his team's actions, much to Chris' annoyance.
• Narcissist: Frequently talks about how awesome or good-looking he is. It's not as bad as his idol, though.
• Nice Mean And In Between: The in-between to Rodney's nice and Max's mean.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Topher is partially based on Ryan Seacrest.
• Oh, Crap!: When Chris reveals that he was posing as one of the producers of Total Drama. He’s so shocked that he can’t even speak correctly, even after Chris loads him into the cannon and fires him off.
• The One Guy: On Team Kinosewak after "This Is The Pits!" where he becomes the final male member.
• Out-Gambitted: By Chris, which leads to his elimination. As Chris puts it, a big lesson in show business is to "never try to play a player".
• Pride: Much like his idol, Topher is very concerned with his appearance.
  Topher: (after Chef blasts him with the canned pasta cannon) Ugh! Ow! Not the hair! (whines as he tries to get pasta out of his hair)
• Sadist: Taking after Chris.
• Satellite Character: Topher's sole storyline is a disconnected run of being an obsessive Chris Fanboy who wants to take over his job. Up until episode 7, he never even has a significant conversation with anyone other than Chris. It also seemed as if most of the other characters were unaware of his existence.
• Skewed Priorities: He is more concerned with replacing Chris as the host of Total Drama than he is helping his team. This leads to his downfall as Chris had set him up to believe that he was going to take over as the host of Total Drama.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he can replace Chris.
• Smug Snake: A non-villainous Jerkass example, his arrogance and ego prove to be his downfall.
• Younger and Hipper: He refers to himself as "Chris 2.0". He begins to act more like the sadistic host as the season progresses, eventually leading Chris to (correctly) believe that Topher is after his job.
