[[folder:Devin and Carrie, Best Friends]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carrieanddevin2.JPG]]
--> ''Voiced by:'' Jeff Geddis (Devin) & Kristin Fairlie (Carrie)

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Carrie's feelings for Devin are always put through the grinder by him mentioning his girlfriend Shelley.
* AmusingInjuries: Both of them, especially Devin.
* AsianAirhead: Devin is a gender-flipped example, consistently proving himself to be one of the densest members of the cast.
* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: When Devin finally tells Carrie that he loves her.]]
* BrownBagMask: Devin gets one slapped on him by Don when [[spoiler: he can't stop sobbing after being dumped]].
* CannotSpitItOut: Carrie can't bring herself to tell Devin how she feels. She finally gathers up the courage to do it in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" but Devin is too distracted by the promise of a phone call to Shelley to give her time to talk. [[spoiler: Carrie puts off telling him after Shelley dumps him, feeling it's not the right time. Eventually this gets reversed when Devin realizes he has feelings for Carrie, but can't bring himself to tell her.]] In "Darjeel With It," Devin keeps getting interrupted by outside circumstances. He was able to tell the sisters though, but they slapped him a few times for being so insensative to Carrie's own love towards him.
* ChekhovsGunman: Remember the tennis instructor Devin mentioned in "Hello and Dubai"? [[spoiler:Shelley's been seeing the guy behind Devin's back.]]
* TheChewToy: After getting dumped by Shelley on live TV, Devin really runs the gamut of being the show's new whipping boy. It kicks into overdrive after [[spoiler: he and Carrie have a UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo.]]
* ChildhoodFriends: They met in a ''sandbox''.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Carrie shows shades of this, being very envious of Shelley.
* ComplimentBackfire: Downplayed. When Devin and Carrie compliment Crimson's [[spoiler:non-goth]] appearance, she reacts negatively, albeit in an insecure manner.
-->'''Crimson:''' You're throwing a lot of positive emotions my way, and I don't know what to do with that.
* CrazyJealousGuy: [[spoiler:Devin becomes clingy and possessive once he starts to crush on Carrie.]]
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Carrie realizes she admitted to liking Devin on TV, which meant everyone tuned in heard her... including Devin's girlfriend.
* DisproportionateRetribution: According to Devin, Shelley once locked him out of his car during winter because he bought her the wrong kind of tea.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:They finally get into a relationship, at the cost of Devin being massively injured by accident by Kitty]].
* FacePalm: Carrie when she realizes her love confessional was going to be seen on TV by Shelley (Devin's girlfriend) and realized what she was doing.
* FakeUltimateHero: [[spoiler: They're set up as one of the main teams, place first in the first episode, were part of an anti-evil alliance, and were saved by non-elimination once but only place 5th. According to WordOfGod they were originally intended as finalists before it was changed.]]
* {{Flat Character}}s: Carrie doesn't really do anything other than swoon over Devin, and Devin pretty much only talks about Shelley. Even after [[spoiler:Shelly dumps Devin]] resulting in SwappedRoles, they still don't really develop.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: Devin goes through this after being dumped by Shelley.
* TheGhost: Shelley, Devin's [[spoiler:ex-]]girlfriend. Devin would often talk about her and even calls her in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", but she is never seen.
* GroinAttack: In "Darjeel With It," Devin was expecting to get hit in the crotch at some point or another, but wasn't expecting it from a goat. He wasn't expecting to land on the decoupling unit moments later either.
* GirlNextDoor: Carrie to Devin, they were childhood friends who met in the sandbox and have been inseparable ever since.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Carrie is one of the kindest girls in ''The Ridonculous Race''.
* HartmanHips: Carrie. After Taylor, she has the second bigger hips in ''The Ridonculous Race''.
* HopelessSuitor: Carrie is this to Devin. [[spoiler:And later, Devin to Carrie.]]
* InelegantBlubbering: [[spoiler:Devin is reduced to this after Shelley dumps him. It's so depressing that Don tries to cover his tear-stained face with a paper bag.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: The good kind. Since The Surfers allowed them to advance in Vietnam Carrie picked them to take their spot after they had to pull out after Devin was injured. The Surfers were very grateful for being back in the race and promised to split the million with them. This means they're the only team to not win but did end up with $250,000 (Brody got the amount wrong but he meant this much) at the end.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler:Devin repeatedly tries to admit his feelings for Carrie, but that usually involves him doing really stupid and suicidal tactics in the race that put them at a disadvantage]].
* LuminescentBlush: Carrie when staring at Devin.
* MomentKiller: After Kitty encourages Carrie to speak her mind out to Devin, she finally tries to, and luckily, she gets Devin to admit his relationship with Shelley is just as bad as the Daters (because of Stephanie becoming overly competitive and demanding)... He then says with a smile that he and Carrie will be best friends forever.
* NiceGuy: Both of them; they are the least offensive pairing in the game.
* NonGameplayElimination: [[spoiler:They ended up eliminated when Kitty, tied to an Emu, accidentally crashed into Devin and knocked him down a cliff even after he and Carrie managed to beat the Sisters to the chill zone. He was too injured to continue, but there was a silver lining in the rule book which allowed them to bring back an eliminated team to take their place]].
* NotGoodWithRejection: [[spoiler: Devin does not take well when Shelley breaks up with him]].
* ObliviousToLove: Despite having a girlfriend back home, Devin has no idea that Carrie has a crush on him. [[spoiler:After his girlfriend breaks up with him and Devin realizes he has feelings for Carrie, Carrie is completely oblivious to this as she had decided to stop reading into Devin being nice when she thought it was obvious they were destined to just remain friends.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: Devin ''thinks'' they're this, as they've been inseparable since childhood, but Carrie's been harboring romantic feelings for quite a while. [[spoiler:Gets reversed later when Devin realizes he loves Carrie, and Carrie becomes convinced they are destined to just be friends.]]
* PlotAllergy: In "El Bunny Supremo", Devin is allergic to hot peppers, temporarily blinding him when he accidentally gets pepper juice in his eyes. In the next episode, his allergies clear up somewhat, but his vision remains impaired.
* RunningGag: Carrie shows affection to Devin, only for him to bring up Shelley.
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Devin. Big time. After Shelley breaks up with him, he goes through each of the seven stages of heartbreak (as described by Spud) though they're actually really five, starting with delusion, then anger, then desperation, then rock bottom, and finally moving on.]]
* SwappedRoles: [[spoiler:Devin does move on from Shelly and finally realizes he loves Carrie, but unfortunately, he realizes this too late after accidentally making Carrie fend off a herd of lions in a trap door where she realizes herself she doesn't need to suck up to him anymore]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** Carrie is one to Bridgette, being the [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold nice blonde]] with a huge crush. She even shares the same voice actress. As the series progresses, she evolves more into a substitute for Zoey from ''Revenge'', being a NiceGirl who's entire character seems based on a WillTheyOrWontThey with her season-long love interest.
** Visually, Devin looks a lot like Trent, [[spoiler:and later after Devin realizes he's in love with Carrie, he starts acting a lot like Trent from ''Action'', right down to nearly blowing the challenges to impress her.]] Devin is also a big pain magnet for the series, like Trent.
* TraumaCongaLine: Devin just keeps getting one injury after another in short succession in "Darjeel With It." Carrie eventually had to hoist him up and take him to the chill zone.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:In "Last Tango in Buenos Aires", Devin gets accidentally knocked off a cliff and ends up in a full body cast. However, in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", he simply has bandages on his head, while Sanders' arm was still in a cast for the remainder of the season.]]
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Devin doesn't even question why Carrie drew his caricature with hearts around it, or even that he was shirtless in the drawing. When the artist they were giving it to judge turned it down, Devin believes it's because the caricature was "too realistic".
* VictoryIsBoring: [[spoiler:Rock Bottom Devin doesn't have any drive to do any challenges when he's like this]].
* VomitDiscretionShot:
** In "New Beijinging", Carrie either vomits off-screen or hides her face in a bucket to vomit when she thinks about having to eat worms.
** In "Little Bull on the Prairie", Devin runs off-screen to vomit after eating the pork 'n beans and riding the mechanical bull.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Pretty much the entire basis of their characterization is that Carrie is in love with Devin but CannotSpitItOut, with Devin being ObliviousToLove. [[spoiler:And then partway through the season they have SwappedRoles, with Devin in love with Carrie, and Carrie oblivious to it.]]
* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: Carrie's reaction when Devin mentions that Shelley locked him out of the car (in weather cold enough to give him ''frostbite'') for bringing her the wrong kind of tea.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Carrie, when she mentions that they must have made the skywalk challenge safe for the contestants.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: Devin displays shades of this after his breakup with Shelley, oscillating wildly between jealousy and anger as he enters the [[FiveStagesOfGrief "Seven Stages Of Heartbreak"]].]]

[[folder: Kelly and Taylor, Mom and Daughter]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taylorandkelly.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Creator/JulieLemieux (Kelly) & Bryn [=McAuley=] (Taylor)

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Pretty much Taylor's relationship with her mother; her whole life consists of Kelly spoiling her silly without the slightest gratitude in return.
* AlphaBitch: Taylor has all the makings of one, even though she lacks followers to boss around, save for her mother.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: At least according to Taylor. Kelly is lame and constantly embarrasses her.
* AttentionWhore: Taylor, as expected of a [[RichBitch rich]], [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] [[BrattyTeenageDaughter teenage]] [[AlphaBitch girl]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kelly is an affable parent, sometimes too much so. However, when angered, she can be quite scary.
* BitchAlert: Taylor is the first character to show disrespect towards her own mother, a line which even Heather and Amy [[EvenEvilHasStandards have never crossed]].
* BornWinner: Taylor believes that she is this. However, Kelly later reveals that all of Taylor's awards, trophies and achievements were all one big lie.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Taylor, who gives Heather and Amy a run for their money.
* BreakTheHaughty: Taylor shuts down after Kelly reveals that all her awards were fake. She later snaps out of it after a mom-daughter bonding moment.
* BuffySpeak: Taylor's speech often consists of this.
* TheBully: Taylor has no gameplay strategy or even competence in challenges and just stands around bossing around and bullying her mother.
* CatchPhrase: Taylor has one in the form of "Wait, what?", when something doesn't go her way.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Taylor has extraordinary lung capacity. Kelly even claims that Taylor once held her breath for ''7 minutes''.
* ComplimentBackfire: In "Hello and Dubai", Kelly compliments Taylor on how she stopped Mickey's panic attack; Taylor, who is still seething over her mom's revelation, sarcastically responds "Oh, do I get a fake trophy for it?".
* CoolOldLady: Kelly believes herself to be the cool mom and claims that Taylor's friends love it when she hangs out with them.
* CruellaToAnimals: Taylor is seen kicking a goat when she gets annoyed. However, the goat gets payback by headbutting her.
* DaddysGirl: Kelly said Taylor was more of an Daddy's girl.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Similar to Dakota, Kelly has tanned skin with blonde hair.
* DeathGlare: Taylor gives one to Mickey in "Brazilian Pain Forest" when he was about to go into the ant-filled mitt before her, until Kitty steps in and stands up for him.
* TheDogBitesBack: Played with by Kelly.
** Subverted in "Bjorken Telephone". Her patience with Taylor has seemed to run out, but when Taylor exclaims "you can't tell me what to do", Kelly reverts back to being a [[PushoverParents pushover]].
** Played straight in "Brazilian Pain Forest" when she finally asserts her authority as the mother when they swing across the gorge.
** Climaxes in "Hawaiian Honeyruin", where Kelly shuts down Taylor's insolent attitude by revealing she [[SmallNameBigEgo never won anything in her life]], and all her trophies were bought and her contest judges were paid to lie.
** Kelly later gives her daughter a [[ToughLove time out]] by hoisting her atop the window washing platform.
* DotingParent: For the most part, Kelly seems blissfully unaware of how heavily flawed her daughter is, and she still thinks of her like a sweetheart.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:For Kelly, who made up with Taylor up by way of going shopping at a golden mall, and starting to become more assertive by canceling Taylor's allowance]].
* EntitledBitch: Growing up [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] has given Taylor this mentality.
* {{Expy}}: They seem to be based on [[Film/MeanGirls Regina George]] and her mother.
* ExtremeDoormat: Kelly, whose daughter Taylor walks all over her and gets away with it. Kelly literally demands Taylor stop treating her like a doormat in "Hello and Dubai".
* GrewASpine: Kelly. When Taylor's insubordination very nearly got them eliminated, Kelly starts to become more assertive.
* HartmanHips: Taylor. A rare case where it's the daughter and not the mother to have this.
* HumblePie: Taylor gets a big slice of it when her mom reveals that all her awards and trophies are fake.
-->'''Taylor:''' ''(to her mother)'' You... need to step your game up, mother! For serious!\\
'''Kelly:''' We're a team, Taylor. \\
'''Taylor:''' I know you're not used to winning like me, but maybe you need to follow my example more. Because...\\
'''Kelly:''' ''(finally losing her patience)'' You've never won ''anything'' in your life, Taylor! NEVER!! Not one race. Not one medal. NOTHING!!\\
'''Taylor:''' Wait, WHAT?! My room is full of trophies and medals!\\
'''Kelly:''' Because your dad bought a trophy store! What kind of trophies come in the mail?! And guess who paid your coaches to lie? Yep! Daddy!\\
'''Taylor:''' ''(showing desperation)'' BEAUTY PAGEANTS!! I've won beauty pageants! You ''can't'' fake those!\\
'''Kelly:''' Oh, honey. When you have enough cash, you can fake ''anything''!
* InformedAttribute: Given that Kelly usually bribed everyone so that Taylor would win at everything, she never used this card to help them succeed in the race, probably because they were on national TV and Kelly wanted her daughter to win fair and square for once.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Taylor. When Kelly tries to share her experience in art school, Taylor exclaims "not everything's about you".
* {{Jerkass}}: Taylor is mean and rude to everyone, especially her mother. This is largely attributed to her upbringing as a SpoiledBrat.
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Taylor gets pooped on by a cow, then she was headbutted by a goat. She brought the latter upon herself by kicking the goat.
** Taylor gets a full load of this from "Hawaiian Honeyruin" onwards, where Kelly stands up for herself and puts Taylor in her place.
* TheLoad: Taylor would rather let her mom do the heavy lifting than help participate in the challenges.
* MamaBear: Kelly splashed Dwayne Sr. with her cup of water when he implied Taylor was born rotten. She later realizes he was right.
* MumLooksLikeASister: According to Kelly. Taylor was understandably confused.
* NeverMyFault:
** Taylor gave vibes of this in their introduction, stating she believes she's the best at everything and would win if her mom didn't mess things up.
** In "Bjorken Telephone", Taylor makes her mother walk all the way back across the geyser field and complains about how long she made her wait and berates her [[spoiler: for their 60 minute penalty, even though it was ''clearly'' Taylor's fault for not going back to the start as instructed]].
* PushoverParents: Kelly; even after becoming more assertive, she's still somewhat of a pushover.
-->'''Taylor:''' Mom, I need some space! I'm giving you a time out.\\
'''Kelly:''' I'm not sure it works like that...\\
'''Taylor:''' ''(starts holding her breath)''\\
'''Kelly:''' ''(gets up and walks away)'' Okay, sure!
* RageBreakingPoint: Kelly, who has been more than patient with Taylor's insolence, finally snaps at her daughter when they come in next to last in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Kelly gives her daughter a scathing, yet deserved and ''long overdue'', reality check, revealing that ''all'' of Taylor's medals, trophies, and accomplishments were bought and not earned, in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
* RichBitch:
** Played straight by Taylor, who treats almost everyone, ''especially'' her own mom, like dirt.
** Averted with Kelly, who is overly patient with her daughter and is usually polite to others.
* RunningGag: Taylor getting poop on her boots.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Taylor threatens to quit in "Brazilian Pain Forest" because she had to ride with farm animals. Subverted when Kelly bribes her with a car to stay.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Kelly tells Taylor that [[EveryManHasHisPrice they paid off the trainers, teachers and judges to let her pass or win]]. When Taylor tries to point out that the beauty pageants she won can't be fake, Kelly tells her that when you have enough money, ''anything'' can be faked.
* SkewedPriorities:
** In "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Taylor was more upset about Kelly getting sand in her hair than the fact she was literally on fire. [=MacArthur=] takes a moment to {{lampshade}} the absurdity of this.
---> '''[=MacArthur=]:''' I'd worry about the burns more than the hair but, uh... [[SarcasmMode I'm funny like that.]]
** [[spoiler: What cost them the race is that they went shopping before checking in at the Chill Zone.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: For all Taylor's arrogant claims and criticism, very little of it translates to actual ability.
** In "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Taylor claims that she's an award-winning swimmer, then falls flat onto the water and paddles like a little dog. Later, Kelly reveals all of Taylor's awards are fakes and that her father bought a trophy store and paid off her coaches and contest judges to lie.
** In "Hello and Dubai", Taylor starts to boast about her tennis skills but stops short when she remembers what her mother had said in the previous episode.
* SpoiledBrat: Taylor, who was spoiled by Kelly as a child.
* StepfordSmiler: Kelly takes her daughter's demeaning insults with forced enthusiasm.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Their overall relationship is comparable to Amy and Samey.
** Taylor is remarkably similar to Amy in nature in that they are both extremely arrogant and overly mean to a member of their own family. She even shares the voice actress and talks with the same ValleyGirl accent.
** Like Samey, Kelly has been overly patient with Taylor's bratty behavior for ''far too long''. As that patience begins to wear thin, Kelly becomes more assertive.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: During the Squeegee challenge in "Hello and Dubai".
-->'''Kelly:''' ''(to Taylor, through her teeth)'' Yelling won't help, sweetie.
* TookALevelInKindness: Taylor, sort of. She never apologizes for her past mistreatment of her mother and is still pretty bratty but has a somewhat heart-to-heart with her mother after she's hoised and promises to treat her with the respect she deserves.
* ToughLove: Kelly attempts to invoke this twice, in an attempt to make Taylor more grateful. In "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Kelly reveals that all of Taylor's awards and trophies were fake, and in "Hello and Dubai", she hoists Taylor on the window washing platform, telling Taylor that she would not get her down until she apologized.
* TrophyWife: Kelly is called one [[http://www.freshtvinc.com/blog/meet-kelly-and-taylor-from-the-ridonculous-race/ by]] WordOfGod.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Kelly said that Taylor crashed her third sports car by the age of ten.
* UngratefulBitch: Taylor is this to her mother Kelly, who has spoiled her and catered to her every whim, but still gets treated like trash.
* ValleyGirl: Taylor talks in this accent, on top of her BuffySpeak.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: In "Bjorken Telephone", Taylor is grossed out by the Icelandic feast and says she's on "high barf alert"; when Kelly tells her not to say "barf", they both vomit.
* WasTooHardOnHer: After telling Taylor that all her awards were fake in "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Kelly feels this way in the following episode.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Emma and Kitty, Sisters]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emmaandkitty.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Stacey [=DePass=] (Emma) & Stephanie Anne Mills (Kitty)

* AlmostKiss: Emma and Noah. [[spoiler:She gives him one for real after his elimination]].
* AsianAirhead: Kitty has shades of this. When crossing the sky deck in the first episode, all she wanted to do was take pics with her smartphone. This is averted in later episodes where Kitty becomes the more rational one when Emma starts falling for Noah and gets distracted from the game.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Kitty is very easily distracted by her surroundings and has difficulty focusing on the game.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Kitty pushes Emma to get together with Noah but later regrets this decision when the relationship ends up slowing both teams down. She then switches gears and forces Emma forget about romance and focus on the race, but this ends up re-activating Emma's CompetitionFreak mode, which is what Kitty was trying to avoid to begin with.
* BigLittleSister: Despite Emma being confirmed to be the older of the two sisters, Kitty is noticeably taller.
* BigSisterBully: Emma has shades of this, although it's downplayed to more of a case of her trying to be responsible and being annoyed by Kitty's antics rather than intentionally being mean to her.
* CallItKarma: Kitty's justification for convincing the ticket counter to sent the Ice Dancers to the back of the plane.
* CameraFiend: Kitty has a compulsion of taking selfies at every location.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** While her ControlFreak nature never quite dissipates, Emma becomes less distrustful and irritable after she accepts her feelings for Noah. She also becomes more appreciative and protective towards Kitty towards the end of the season.
** Kitty starts to take the competition more seriously once the team passes the midpoint of the season -- which earns her some respect from her usually [[IceQueen frosty]] sister.
* CharacterTic: Kitty has a habit of [[CameraFiend taking photos with her phone]], usually selfies.
* CompetitionFreak:
** Emma is there to win and tries to keep Kitty focused on the competition. [[spoiler: Emma also makes it clear that she's only getting back together with Noah if SHE'S the one who wins the contest.]]
** Kitty can become this under the right circumstances, particularly during "Dude Buggies", where she constantly fights with [=MacArthur=]. It's also mentioned that she once destroyed both her gaming console and the family living room after someone managed to beat her in an online match.
* ControlFreak: Emma often refuses to let Kitty help her during challenges. In "None Down, Eighteen To Go - Part 2", she overrules Kitty's spice choices with her own and in "Bjorken Telephone" she scolds Kitty for completing the Icelandic phrase even though she got it right.
* TheCutie: Kitty is [[GenkiGirl bubbly and cheerful]].
* DefrostingIceQueen: [[spoiler:When Emma finally hooks up with Noah she quickly changes gears from being cold and rude to being bubbly and obsessed with their future together.]]
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: [[spoiler: They win the Episode 23 leg because Jacques and Josee, who would have come in first, separated the train cars and received an hour-long penalty.]]
* FacePalm:
** Emma does this when she notices Kitty taking selfies with a yeti in "Bjorken Telephone".
** Kitty does this when Owen keeps makes incorrect guesses during their game of charades in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
** Kitty has this reaction when Emma starts to admit that she likes Noah but changes her sentence at the last minute in "Hello and Dubai".
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Ostensibly, Emma is the responsible one to Kitty's foolishness, but they're actually more equal than she'd like to admit.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Emma blurts out an unusually thorough rant about where a relationship with Noah will lead in "I Love Ridonc & Roll". In "Maori or Less", it's revealed that [[spoiler:she's a bit of a {{yandere}} and was just as obsessed with her previous boyfriend.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Emma's untrusting nature and ControlFreak attitude seem to come from her boyfriend Jake dumping her, if Kitty's comments are anything to go by. This is later confirmed in "Hello and Dubai", where Kitty tells Owen that it's been three years, and Emma is still upset over it.
* FreudianSlip:
** Emma has one in Dubai, when she accidentally says "Noah distractions" instead of "no distractions." [[ShipperOnDeck Kitty catches it immediately and is absolutely delighted.]]
** In "Maori or Less", Emma calls Kitty and Noah in for a discussion that she accidentally describes as a ''family'' meeting instead of a ''team'' meeting.
* FunnyAfro: As seen in "Darjeel With It", Kitty's pigtails frizz out into big poof balls in humid conditions.
* GamerChick: Kitty was apparently a particularly bad example a few years back, playing for days straight and getting extremely aggressive, forcing Emma to cut her off.
* GenkiGirl: Kitty is quite upbeat and tries to look on the bright-side of grave situations.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Kitty has to smack Emma upside the head to get her to focus on the game in "Maori or Less".
* GirlishPigtails: Kitty, to signify that she's the younger and more carefree sister.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:They really don't lament their loss in the finale and admit they enjoyed their time while it lasted.]].
* HairDecorations: Kitty uses red ribbons to tie up her girlish pigtails.
* HypocriticalHumor: Emma frequently criticizes other people for being bossy and controlling without realizing that she acts the same way.
** Emma's reason for not wanting to form an alliance with Owen and Noah reflects this as well.
---> '''Emma:''' Noah's a snarky know-it-all, do you have any idea what it's like to be around someone like that? \\
'''Kitty:''' [[SarcasmMode I can't imagine.]]
** Noah, after seeing Emma ordering Kitty to eat the skewered bugs, bosses Owen around to impress Emma. She berates him for being mean to his partner.
* IceQueen: It's strongly implied that Emma acts cold and rude because she was dumped by her boyfriend a few years ago.
* IconicItem: Kitty's cellphone, which she uses to take photos.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Emma refers to Kitty as "Kit" and "Kits".
** Kitty calls Emma "Em".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Emma. She's bossy, controlling, and has a real chip on her shoulder but she does genuinely love her sister and felt bad about her behavior during her relationship with Noah.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Emma is usually pragmatic and levelheaded, but romance has always had a weird effect on her -- which is why she [[CelibateHero gave up dating]] after her first boyfriend dumped her.]]
--> [[spoiler:"Love turns me into a total nightmare, and nightmares don't win races."]]
* MagicSkirt: Kitty in "My Way or Zimbabwe", when she and Emma go over Victoria Falls.
* MaleGaze: The camera often focuses on Emma's butt.
* MsFanservice: Beyond Emma's butt shots cited above, both are shown in bikinis twice (especially Kitty).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Emma gets hit with this hard after she [[spoiler: dumps Noah to focus on the competition, sending him into an AngstComa. She eventually comes clean about why she did it and they agree to get back together after the competition, provided she's the one who wins]]
** In "Last Tango in Buenos Aires," Kitty suffers a brief one after [[spoiler:she accidentally knocked Devin over a cliff while she was tied on top of an emu, forcing the Best Friends to leave the race due to injury.]] It was nice to see how worried they were about and liked Devin after how hard they were on him in the previous episode. It continues in the next episode where they called Carrie and Devin their friends and Kitty still felt bad about it and apologized again.
* NiceGirl: Kitty is one of the nicest contestants on the show, easily befriending the Adversity Twins, Carrie, and the Surfers Dudes.
* NeverMyFault: Emma's attitude towards Kitty in "None Down Eighteen To Go - Part 2" and "Bjorken Telephone".
* NotSoAboveItAll: Once Emma gives in to her feelings for Noah, she turns out to be a tad obsessive and needs Kitty to reign her in.
* ObliviousToLove: Despite how obvious it is, it takes a while for Emma to realize Noah has a crush on her.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Kitty isn't the one taking the Victoria Falls selfie, and we know she ''enjoys'' taking these herself.
* PlotHole: Kitty has a cellphone even though it's strongly implied the contestants are supposed to be incapable of contacting their loved ones during the competition (the ability to call someone at home was even offered as a prize in one challenge).
* RedOniBlueOni: Kitty's more excitable, optimistic personality makes her the red to Emma's more serious, competitive blue.
* RescueRomance: Emma is initially wary and distrustful towards Noah but rethinks her opinion of him after he saves her from falling off the Burj Al Arab in "Hello and Dubai".
* RunningGag: Kitty taking selfies.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: Kitty has a habit of regularly taking selfies during the race. She's so obsessed with it that in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" during a game of charades she chooses a camera.
* ShipperOnDeck: Kitty becomes this for Emma and Noah, as well as Carrie and Devin. She and Owen end up bonding over the former.
* SiblingTeam: An older and younger sister pairing.
* SiblingYinYang: Emma's focused on the game, but Kitty just wants to have fun. Later, Emma is more focused on her relationship with Noah, and Kitty is the one who's focused on the game.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Emma ends up becoming this towards Noah.
* SkewedPriorities: Even in a dire situation, Kitty will try and slip a selfie in.
* SoProudOfYou: Kitty said this to Carrie when the latter decided to reveal her feelings for Devin.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: They have had quite a lot of focus so far, especially on Emma's attitude towards Kitty, and that's before Emma's romantic plot with Noah.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Kitty may come off as an AsianAirhead with the same carefree, ditzy personality as Lindsay, but WordOfGod states she's actually quite smart and simply has little need for her intelligence. This is especially prominent in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" where she's the first one to pick up on the two crushes around her.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** Overall, their dynamic is reminiscent of Courtney and Lindsay, except with their respective abrasiveness and foolishness toned down somewhat. It's easy to tell Kitty and Lindsay share a voice actress, too.
** Emma bears a strong resemblance to Heather and is [[ImNotHereToMakeFriends only interested in winning the game]], much like her.
** In addition, the way Emma's attitude towards Noah progresses is near identical to that of Dave with Sky; starting off with the girl wishing to stay clear of love, but ending up falling head over heels for the boy, before ending up rejecting them again for the sake of the competition.
* SwappedRoles: [[spoiler:In "Maori or Less", Kitty tries to keep Emma focused on the game to avoid losing both it and Noah when previously, in the first few episodes, it was Emma who tried to keep Kitty focused on the game when all she wanted to do was enjoy all the scenery.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Emma becomes noticeably less bossy and nicer to Kitty over the course of the season.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Emma mentions that at Emma's seventh pool party birthday, Kitty's bikini got caught in the drain, which ended up being torn off and sucked in.
* {{Tsundere}}: Emma, to her own dismay. Kitty's trying to help her be more straightforward.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Kitty is all about this mindset, wanting to genuinely enjoy the game she and her sister are in. Emma, who is focused solely on the prize money, is absolutely not having it.
* {{Yandere}}: Emma proves to be a tad obsessive when it comes to Noah, already making wedding plans and calling their team meeting a "family meeting". Kitty has to pull her back a bit.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: Kitty strongly believes that Emma needs a new boyfriend.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Kitty is sporting a type C.

[[folder:Crimson and Ennui, Goths]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ennuiandcrimson.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Stacey [=DePass=] (Crimson) & Carter Hayden (Ennui).

* TenMinuteRetirement: [[spoiler:This happens in Finland where they lost their goth makeup and their confidence along with it, and Ennui decides it's best for them to leave the show. However, when Ennui spots new outfits in a gothic boutique, their drive to stay in the competition is renewed]].
* AchillesHeel: Josee in an effort to sabotage the Goths concludes that Ennui's love for his bunny, Loki, to be their weakness. [[spoiler:She was right, and the Ice Dancers exploiting this weakness gets the Goths eliminated.]]
* AlwaysABiggerFish: The deodorant both of them wear is made from Komodo Dragon musk ("Komodorant"). In Indonesia, all the komodo dragons ran away from them because they recognized the scent of larger, more powerful komodo dragons coming from them (at least, [[TheDreaded that's what Crimson claims]]).
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: While generally level-headed, they do become easily distracted from the competition by dark and spooky things. In Transylvania they lose their early lead by taking a detour to look at Dracula's paintings, and at the Alberta dude ranch, they go from first to fourth place because they stopped to admire a rotting skull they came across.
* BadassAdorable: Loki, who contributes just as much as Crimson and Ennui.
* BareYourMidriff: A rare male example with Ennui.
* BetaCouple: They are this to all the couples of this series.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: This trait keeps them under everyone else's radar for the majority of the race.
* BigOlEyebrows: Ennui. [[spoiler:However, a portion of his big brows is actually makeup]].
* BigNo: Ennui gives his incredibly deadpan version of this when he realizes he's lost Loki.
* BirdsOfAFeather: The fact that they're in a happy and functional relationship isn't at all surprising, considering how similar they are and how many interests they share.
* BornLucky: The two rarely seem to have to put any real effort into the competition to do well, with everything just working out for them despite their slow pace. Ennui even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]] during the narwhals ring toss when he just holds a ring out and a narwhal just happens to ring it for him. [[spoiler:The only time their luck runs out is when they are sabotaged by the Ice Dancers stealing Ennui's pet bunny.]]
--> '''Ennui:''' ''(after barely breaking his stride ringing a narwhal)'' ... OK, that was pure luck ... but we don't have to tell them that.
* BrownBagMask: Both wear one to cover their faces in "I Love Ridonc & Roll" [[spoiler:after their goth makeup is ruined]].
* ChastityCouple: They hold hands in the Arctic challenge, but that's about it.
* CollaredByFashion:
** Ennui wears a spiked dog collar similar to Duncan's.
** Crimson wears a red choker.
* TheComicallySerious: When contrasted with the other, more expressive teams.
* ComplimentBackfire: PlayedForLaughs when Devin and Carrie [[spoiler:see Crimson ungothed]].
-->'''Crimson:''' You're throwing a lot of positive emotions my way, and I don't know what to do with that.
* CreepyMonotone: The rare occasions they do speak, it's always this. Even when they scream at the revelation of [[spoiler:seeing each other without goth makeup]], their screams barely show any emotion.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As stereotypical goths no one seemed to think of them as a genuine threat, Don even claiming [[spoiler:when they're finally eliminated at 7th place out of 18 teams]] that he fully expected them to be the first team sent home.
* DarkIsNotEvil: They're aloof and find pleasure in dark and creepy things, including Transylvania, but they never do anything cruel or mean-spirited. They're genuinely decent people, just not very sociable. [[spoiler:The only team the Goths hold a grudge against are the Ice Dancers, who kidnapped Loki and caused their elimination.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Both of them, though their natural monotone makes it hard to tell if they're being intentionally insincere.
* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Seems to be a theme with them.
** They name their pet bunny "Loki", after the Norse god of the same name.
** Ennui mentions that he used to own a black kitten called "Toxic Mold".
* DontLookAtMe: Crimson exclaims this in "I Love Ridonc & Roll" [[spoiler:after her and Ennui's goth makeup comes off]].
* DramaticThunder: During their introduction.
* TheDreaded:
** Don states they freak him out.
** Both of them scare Jay and Mickey in the Parisian catacombs in "French is an Eiffel Language".
** In the Botch or Watch in "Mediterranean Homesick Blues", Crimson manages to scare [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat an attacking shark away]] and earn her next Travel Tip.
** When collecting Komodo Dragon venom the dragons continuously run away from the Goths in fear ... although Crimson is convinced it's due to their deodorant smelling like Komodo Dragon musk from obviously bigger and stronger dragons than the 'wimps' they're dealing with.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:They were happy they got to visit Transylvania and Finland, and even point out if they ''really'' want the money, they can just go back to Las Vegas and be stage magicians.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: Crimson, although she does come close to showing emotion at times, with Ennui pulling her back in.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Both of them. [[spoiler:Subverted when their real skin tone and hair color is revealed in "I Love Ridonc and Roll".]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** They disapprove of [[spoiler:Stephanie using her Boomerang ticket on Ryan]] in "Lord of the Ring Toss".
---> '''Ennui:''' Even for me, that's dark.
** They find the collapse of the Daters' relationship rather upsetting.
---> '''Crimson:''' It's sad when love turns to poison.
* {{Expy}}: Zig-zagged, conceptually they're based on Kent & Vyxsin (also known as 'The Dating Goths') from ''Series/TheAmazingRace'', but that's about it.
* ExtremeOmnivore: The Goths quite possibly have the strongest stomachs on the show. Yes, even better than Owen. They will eat anything no matter how disgusting or spicy, all while maintaining their same emotionless expression and showing no signs of discomfort.
* FirstLove: Considering they started dating when they were only fourteen, this is very likely.
* FlatJoy:
** Their reaction to [[spoiler:winning in Iceland and]] coming to Transylvania.
** When taking a selfie while falling down Victoria Falls in "My Way or Zimbabwe", Ennui gives a flat "wheeee" of enjoyment.
** In the finale Crimson admits to being happy with the Ice Dancers finally eliminated.
* FreakyFashionMildMind: Despite dressing up in the stereotypical goth attire and freaking out several of the other contestants, they are not purposely mean to anyone, and show unconditional love and support for one another.
* FreakyIsCool:
** They are entranced by all things dark and scary, and the only time they come close to showing excitement is during a trip to Transylvania. Crimson comes so close to expressing outward happiness that Ennui has to pull her back.
** They also take a liking to Devin when he comes bitter and depressed.
---> '''Ennui:''' When did Devin become so... cool?
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Adorable animals love Ennui, much to his disgust.
* GenreSavvy: When Josee pretends to be nice to Ennui in order to borrow some makeup, Ennui calls her out on it.
* {{Goth}}s: They seem to be more of the {{Emo}} variant, as opposed to Gwen's PerkyGoth personality.
* {{Guyliner}}: Ennui, as part of his gothic makeup.
* HiddenDepths:
** They know Icelandic because most of their favorite bands are from Iceland.
** In "Little Bull on the Prairie", Crimson mentions that ranches make her feel nostalgic because she spent a lot of summers at her grandmother's farm. She later implies that she once attempted to ride a bull at said farm, but that she 'doesn't want to talk about it'.
** In the episode "El Bunny Supremo" we learn that Ennui received a black kitten as a child and named it "Toxic Mold", but that it ran away and he never saw it again. It gives a lot more depth to his current relationship with his new pet, Loki the rabbit.
** At one point Ennui loses Loki, and while on many other shows one would expect the stereotypical Goth response to be to shrug and quip about how all life is meaningless or something like that; instead, Ennui is very saddened that he's lost his pet, and Crimson insists they stop competing until they find him.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: This was confirmed by the official FreshTV blog. Crimson and Ennui first met when they coincidentally chose the same dark corner to hide from the other students in. How sweet is that?
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Ennui is one of the tallest contestants in the race; Crimson in particular only comes up to about his shoulders.
* HoldingHands: [[spoiler:They do this in episode 17, during a confessional. It's adorable.]]
* HypercompetentSidekick: [[KillerRabbit Loki]], despite the fact the Goths were already pretty competent in their own right.
* KillerRabbit: Loki. [[spoiler:In "El Bunny Surpemo", the Ice Dancers kidnap Loki; however, he breaks free. When the Goths arrive at the Chill Zone in last place, Loki motions to the Ice Dancers that they are dead meat.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: Dark, creepy music.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
** In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Ennui's hand gets bitten by insects, and he says a very flat "ow", to which Crimson replies, "don't be so dramatic."
** In "El Bunny Supremo", Crimson eats an extremely spicy chili pepper and just stands there with a blank stare for several seconds before giving her own very flat "ow."
* MakeUpOrBreakUp: [[spoiler:They go through this upon seeing each other ungothed for the first time. Unable to cope with such a huge change, in combination with the new and unwanted attention they're receiving from everyone else, it leads them to not only decide to quit the race, but to break up with each other as well. At the last minute, they decide to try to accept each other for who they are, and in the end the whole ordeal really strengthens their relationship.]]
* MeaningfulName: Each of their names describes both of them pretty well. Crimson for their red outfits, and Ennui for their listless, bored personalities. Their pet bunny, Loki, gets in on this too, being named after the Norse dark god of trickery, and being a {{Pun}} on the fact Loki is also low-key.
* MulticoloredHair: Both. Ennui's hair is black with red {{Skunk Stripe}}s. Crimson's hair is white in the front and black in the back. [[spoiler:However, their multicolored hair is revealed to be wigs, with Ennui's real hair color being brown and Crimson's orange.]]
* [[invoked]] NightmareFuel: In-universe. Their stoicness freaks out some of the others, especially Don. It gets much worse when [[spoiler:they get new goth outfits and even scarier makeup]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: Crimson and Ennui help out the Ice Dancers not only by letting them know that the trophy-shaped lava rock Josee took from Hawaii was actually a very potent bad luck charm, but also by telling the Ice Dancers how to properly dispose of it and break the curse. Several episodes later, Jacques and Josee directly cause the Goths to be eliminated by kidnapping Loki, Ennui's pet rabbit, making the Goths fall too far behind as they searched for the bunny.]]
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: After Ennui loses Loki and is distraught over it, Crimson says outright that "no bunny gets left behind" and they drop everything to find him.
* NoodleIncident: Crimson rode with real bulls before mechanical bulls, though she implies it was harder, but she refuses to go into detail about it.
* NotSoStoic:
** Crimson nearly vomited when she saw Owen drinking camel saliva.
** They're both so happy about getting to visit Transylvania that their body language becomes more expressive and Crimson nearly "gets color in her face", as well as them giving their very first genuine smiles of happiness near the end.
** [[spoiler:Both of them gasp when their makeup starts to melt in a sauna, and they freak out when they see each other without their goth makeup for the first time, even after dating for 3 years]].
** Crimson can instantly tell that Ennui is distraught after losing his pet bunny, Loki.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:Losing their make-up leaves them wrecked. Ennui in particular does an over-dramatic air guitar solo that makes the audience boo him... He even tears up]].
* OperaGloves: Crimson wears a red pair with her outfit.
* ParrotPetPosition: Ennui's bunny, Loki, who often sits on his shoulders, but is sometimes kept inside his shirt.
* PerpetualFrowner: Their default expression is an indifferent stare.
* PsychicLink: Ennui shares one with his pet bunny, Loki. [[spoiler: It's possible that he might use this to quickly realize their elimination is caused by the Ice Dancers]]
* {{The Quiet One}}s: They rarely talk; Ennui was completely silent for the first two episodes and Crimson for the first four. They do speak a bit more as the cast thins, but they're still far from talkative.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Crimson. However, it's subverted since she and Ennui [[DarkIsNotEvil aren't evil]]. [[spoiler: Her natural eye color is blue.]]
* RelationshipReveal: They offhandedly reveal that they've been dating for three years in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: They named their rabbit after the Norse God, Loki.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Little Bull on the Prairie", they were in first place after completing the mechanical bull ride but dropped down to fourth because they got sidetracked by a skull they found on the way to the Chill Zone.
* ShrinkingViolet: [[spoiler: They're noticeably more insecure and self-conscious without their makeup.]]
* SitcomArchNemesis: A light version with Don since, while he's annoyed and creeped out by them, Don still treats them fairly while the Goths don't seem to notice or care how much they bother him.
* SlowNo: Ennui lets out a remarkably sluggish one in real-time upon [[spoiler:noticing Loki's disappearance]] in "El Bunny Supremo".
* StealthHiBye: They have a habit of showing up without warning. Don even requests that a ''bell'' be placed around their necks, since their silent approaches always [[TheDreaded freak him out]].
-->'''Don:''' ''([[SpitTake Spits out his water]])'' How can ANYONE be that silent!? Seriously, can we put a bell around their necks or something?
* StockingFiller: Crimson wears fishnet stockings.
* TheStoic: They don't emote very much, much to Don's chagrin. [[spoiler:However, they exhibit a wider range of emotions after they get un-gothed by a sauna in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: From "French Is An Eiffel Language" onward.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Ennui's irises are yellow, [[spoiler: however, they're naturally black.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Gwen, to an extent. Although they represent a different Goth subculture, being more of the {{Emo}} goth variety, in contrast to Gwen's PerkyGoth. Gwen's Goth friends were the typical Emo goths compared to her.
* TeamPet: In "Down and Outback", they adopt a black bunny and name it [[MeaningfulName Loki]].
* TeensAreShort: Without platform boots, Crimson is one of the shortest contestants in the race.
* TooMuchInformation: In "Little Bull on the Prairie", Don tries to get an explanation for why the Goths came in fourth, and Crimson's explanation made him queasy.
-->'''Don:''' What happened to you two? You were the first to finish the bull ride.\\
'''Crimson:''' Yeah, but then we found a skull rotting in the sun. So...\\
'''Don:''' Nope! No, no. Stop talking. Forget I asked. You're team number four. Go! ''(the Goths walk away)''
* {{Troll}}: After seeing their reaction (or lack thereof) to [[spoiler:getting first place in Iceland]], Don openly asks them if they're just there for this.
* UpToEleven: If they wear something that clashes with their clothing, they take their time in painting the clothing in darker colors.
* VisibleSilence: While there are lots of characters who don't have lines in the early episodes, due to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, with these two it's made clear they actually choose to remain silent, even when directly spoken to.
* WhenSheSmiles: Like typical goths they rarely smile or show any emotion but when they do smile it's always heartwarming.
* WorthIt: Crimson states this when getting a penalty for letting Ennui take a turn in the casket challenge.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:When they lose their make-up, Don doesn't believe it's them on the account they don't give him nightmares. They manage to convince it's them by pointing out they have the camera crew shooting them]].

[[folder:Owen and Noah, Reality TV Pros]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noahandowen.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Scott [=McCord=] (Owen) & Carter Hayden (Noah)

For their time on ''Total Drama'', see their entries on [[Characters/TotalDramaScreamingGophers Total Drama Screaming Gophers]].

* {{Adorkable}}: A lot of Noah's failed and successful flirting attempts with Emma tend to bring this out.
* AlmostKiss: Noah and Emma on several occasions. [[spoiler: Finally subverted in "Got Venom" when they actually do kiss.]]
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: After their elimination, Noah reveals that they had been asked to appear on another reality show.]]
* BlatantLies: As Owen eats away at his and Noah's cheese wheel, he continually claims that his next bite is his last. Of course, Owen ends up eating the entire thing, forcing Noah to use Owen as the raft.
* CompanionCube: Owen's teddy bear, until he unwittingly eats it.
* DeadpanSnarker: Significantly downplayed when compared to ''World Tour'', but Noah still does this from time to time, such as in "Brazilian Pain Forest", after Owen eats a coconut with a potential tip inside.
--> '''Noah:''' Great, let's wait 8 hours and see if there was a tip inside that one.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Noah keeps doing this when [[spoiler:trying to talk to Emma]] in "New Beijinging".
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: [[spoiler: In "French is an Eiffel Language", they finish the second leg at the exact same time as Pete & Gerry but are spared from a tie/double-elimination because of Gerry's foot being outside the Chill Zone.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Owen doesn't have his driver's license yet, and it ''shows''.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Despite losing yet another reality television show, Noah ended up with a girlfriend, something he didn't have before, and considers this "an easy favorite" as far as all the shows he's participated in so far.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Again, Owen's teddy bear.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Owen, who drank camel saliva in Morocco and ate the "Brunch of Disgustingness" during ''Island'', was disgusted by the Icelandic feast.
** Owen finds Leonard's wannabe-wizard shtick dorky, despite being somewhat of an oddball himself.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Owen as usual. However, he draws the line with what he'll eat at the Icelandic feast.
* FatAndSkinny: Owen's the Fat to Noah's Skinny.
* FirstLove: Owen claims in "Little Bull on the Prairie" that Noah has never had a girlfriend before Emma. Which makes their break up all the more heartbreaking for Noah.
* FreudianSlip: Noah accidentally says he's focused on Emma instead of the race in Finland.
* GoldDigger: Noah is rather glad [[spoiler: to be in a relationship with Emma. He says he's now dating a lawyer, so]] he'll never have to work again.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:They're not particularly upset about losing because they've both benefited in other ways -- Owen got to spend time with his favorite person and Noah now has a future with Emma.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Noah is still Owen's little buddy, and they have been hanging together all this time since ''World Tour''.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When an unsure Emma breaks up with Noah, he becomes a total wreck for a whole episode.]]
* KissingInATree: Owen teases Noah using this statement in "New Beijinging".
* TheLoad:
** Owen nearly cost them the race in the 3rd episode, see LoopholeAbuse below.
** Subverted in other episodes, with Owen doing his best in the challenges, plus saving Noah's life in the first episode and later helping him with his crush on Emma, which ends up debilitating Noah for the rest of the season.
** Noah is stuck in [[spoiler:a [[HeroicBSOD rejection-induced coma]]]] for most of "Little Bull on the Prairie", which forces Owen to physically carry him through the challenges.
* LoopholeAbuse: Owen tries to invoke this in "French is an Eiffel Language" by claiming that Noah rode and carried the cheese wheel (which Owen ate) inside him, but Don wasn't having any of it [[spoiler:and slapped a 20 minute penalty against Owen & Noah, which they barely overcame]].
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Noah starts acting weird and unresponsive after he falls for Emma, which makes Owen believe that he's getting ill. Kitty ends up having to spell it out for him. He snaps out of the unresponsive part after "Hawaiian Honeyruin", though he still makes quite a few social gaffes.
-->'''Kitty:''' He just likes my sister.\\
'''Owen:''' But he's being so goofy and awkward and-- ''(eyes widen)'' Ohhh.
* MomentKiller:
** Owen, though he tries not to be.
** Noah threatens to become one for [[MistakenForGay Geoff & Brody]] after they ruin his opportunity to kiss Emma in "Maori or Less".
---> '''Noah:''' If I ever see the Surfer Dudes trying to kiss, I'm going to interrupt them.
* MortonsFork: In "Got Venom", Noah notes that he's actually encountered a rare positive-outcome inversion of this; if he wins, he gets 1 million dollars. If he loses, [[spoiler: he's dating a lawyer, so he'll never have to work again]].
--> [[spoiler: "This race has become a win-win situation; the second Emma or I get booted, I get to date the hottest girl alive. So if [Owen and I] win the race... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment I win.]] And if we get eliminated... I still win!"]]
* NauseaFuel: Owen drinking camel saliva is this InUniverse to the point that almost ''everyone'' vomited.
* NotSoStoic: Noah at times.
** Noah loses his cool when he was nearly blown away in the Sky Deck challenge.
** Noah freaks out when he sees Owen eating one of the cheese wheels in Paris.
** Anything involving Emma brings this out in him.
* OlderThanTheyLook: It's been several years since ''Island'' where they were 16 years old, but their appearance remains unchanged since then.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Owen automatically knows that something's up when he notices that Noah's not acting like his quick-witted, sarcastic self.
* PunnyName: Owen named his teddy bear Beary.
* RescueRomance: Noah manages to gain Emma's trust by saving her when she falls off her cleaning platform in "Hello and Dubai".
* RousingSpeech: Owen combines this with QuitYourWhining when Noah refuses to perform the air guitar challenge in "I Love Ridonc & Roll". [[spoiler:It works.]]
-->'''Owen:''' Racing with you has been the most fun ever. [[ItMakesSenseInContext There's no one in the world I'd rather eat eyeballs with.]] But if we get eliminated, it's over for us ''and'' for you and Emma. Is that really what you want?\\
'''Noah:''' Gee, big guy, I... [[SarcasmFailure I don't know what to say...]] \\
'''Owen:''' Shhh. You need to stop worrying about being some girl's hero and be ''my'' hero.
* SarcasmFailure: Noah can't bring himself to say anything snarky or insincere after hearing Owen's speech in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".
* SecurityBlanket: Owen had a teddy bear to keep him calm while flying, at least until he accidentally ate it. [[SecurityCling Noah now acts as an unwilling substitute for it.]]
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:During the last few seconds of "Got Venom", Noah starts to tell Owen that they've been invited to participate in the next season of a certain show [[TheUnreveal but the transmission ends before we can hear him say the title.]]]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Once he's clued into it, Owen becomes this for Emma and Noah.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Surprisingly enough, Noah, starting after he notices Emma a third of the way through the season.
* TheStoic: Noah kept the same annoyed expression on his face when Owen farted and the fumes filled the elevator in the first episode.
* TookALevelInBadass: They're both much more competent on the race than they were on ''Total Drama'', attributed to years of mostly-offscreen reality TV experience.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Compared to his portrayal as a more nuanced JerkWithAHeartOfGold during his time in ''World Tour'', Noah starts off the season much... Meaner, even compared to his brief time on ''Island''. He didn't go out of his way to be a dick on ''Total Drama'', but here he acts surprised and unwell when he starts doing nice things.
* TookALevelInKindness: Noah begins to soften up after falling in love with Emma, which leads to him helping Mickey out in Hawaii because he finds him [[ShrinkingViolet too pathetic]] to abandon.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Owen assumes Don is like Chris, willing to allow LoopholeAbuse, but is proven wrong when he slaps a 20-minute penalty on them.

[[folder:Mickey and Jay, Adversity Twins]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jayandmickey.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: Jay is on the left, Mickey is on the right]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Lyon Smith

* AbsurdPhobia: They're afraid of pencils, sand, spiders, werewolves, heights, squeegee sounds, germs, and being on stage.
* {{Adorkable}}: They have very little social experience, especially involving "cute girls".
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Which is probably why they share the same illnesses and misfortunes.
* ArcNumber: In the first four challenges, the two place 12th, and they end up [[spoiler:leaving in 12th place.]] This is [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] in the first episode, where Mickey says they're not cursed, but they might be whatever comes before cursed. [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13 is usually considered bad luck, and 12 is right before that.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: It's subtle, but Jay seems to be a bit more confident and the less-wimpy leader of the two. Shown best in "None Down, Eighteen To Go - Part 1" where he carries Mickey up the stairs, when the latter can no longer continue.
* BornUnlucky: It's implied they are actually cursed, being afflicted with every possible [[IllGirl allergy, phobia, accident, disorder and ailment]], so that Harold and Cody seem to get off lightly. Makes one wonder why they even signed up for the race.
** Played with in "Hello and Dubai" where they experience good luck for the first time after all of the bad luck gets sucked up by the Ice Dancers due to their ArtifactOfDoom.
** Also zig-zagged in "I Love Ridonc & Roll", where they trump the Dry Sauna All-In due to their "temperature dyslexia"; while they do suffer from burns and frostbite in extreme cases, the twins are relatively unaffected by the drop or increase in temperature.
* ButtMonkey: With a label like the "Adversity Twins", it's a given. They're easily pushed around by stronger, meaner teams like Taylor or the Ice Dancers.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite all the difficulties life throws at them, they just keep trucking along. [[spoiler: After their elimination, they mention how nobody believed they would have even survived the competition as long as they have, yet they still did through sheer willpower.]] Their doctors believed they'd be dead within a week, and their gym coach just laughed when they said they were entering the competition.
* DisabilityImmunity: Despite his countless allergies, Mickey gets past the bullet ants without any trouble in "Brazilian Pain Forest" because he's been bitten by so many things over the years that he's become immune to all forms of venom.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Jay's hoodie is a darker shade of blue and is green on the inside. Mickey's hoodie is orange on the inside. Mickey also wears the helmet, has a gap in between his teeth, and has a higher voice than his brother.
* IllBoy: As part of their BornUnlucky shtick, they are plagued with every possible allergy and ailment. Their allergies include (but not limited to) confetti, cinnamon, orchids, and grass skirts. They also have asthma, lactose intolerance, eczema, altitude intolerance, chronic nose bleeds, and temperature insenstivity. Apparently that's not the whole list.
* IronButtMonkey: They get hurt so often, they think they're the next closest thing to being cursed.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A sad violin tune.
* NiceGuy: They're immensely kind to others and describe themselves as gentlemen.
* NiceHat: Mickey's helmet/head-gear [[BuffySpeak thing]].
* NoodleIncident: Jay, as they're about to descend into the Parisian catacombs: "I hope I don't get the plague again."
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Mickey gets a burst of strength in Transylvania, lifting up a coffin with his brother in it. Though he collapses from the weight a few seconds later.
* SiblingTeam: Consisting of identical twin brothers.
* ShrinkingViolet: WordOfGod compares them to timid animals at the bottom of the food-chain.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They bear striking resemblance to Cameron's [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/4/43/Cameron_Original.png/revision/latest?cb=20120128012154 original design]], and are physically like him as well.
* TeensAreShort: WordOfGod is that they are 16, but they are barely taller than Dwayne Jr.
* TerrifiedOfGerms:
** In the second episode Mickey asks Jay if he wants some hand sanitizer, only for Jay to reveal that he's wearing gloves.
** {{Exploited|Trope}} "I Love Ridonc and Roll" when another racer tells Mickey that his air guitar has germs on it, causing Mickey to have a panic attack.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Pretty much "Why Did It Have To Be '''Anything'''" for these two. Check AbsurdPhobia above.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stephanie and Ryan, Daters]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stephanieandryan.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Nicki Burke (Stephanie) & Joseph Motiki (Ryan)

* AbortedArc: Ryan's OddFriendship with Carrie is suddenly dropped without explanation in his final episode.
* ActionGirl: Stephanie can be very violent and aggressive.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A very odd example, as they started off being SickeninglySweethearts, before progressing to a BelligerentSexualTension, and afterwards keep jumping back and forth from loving to hating each other.
* {{Badass}}: Both of them, but Stephanie more so. They both fought (and beat) a shark. Stephanie also beat a Komodo Dragon as well.
* BareYourMidriff: Stephanie.
* BelligerentSexualTension: After their breakup they make an effort to [[DefiedTrope defy]] this and stay enemies, as the ThePowerOfHate makes them more efficient. It doesn't quite work out.
--> '''Stephanie:''' The hate thing is really working for us and I don't want to ruin that.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ryan is usually a GentleGiant; however, Stephanie often tests his patience, which causes him to lose his cool.
* BoyishShortHair: Stephanie
* CompetitionFreak: Stephanie seems to be this, which is shown when she starts ranting in "Bjorken Telephone", and when she threatens Ryan not to make a mistake ever again, in "French is an Eiffel Language". This is played straight in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" where Ryan says she becomes a monster when things get competitive.
-->'''Ryan:''' Your "race rage" is out of control, and I am ''this close'' to leaving!\\
'''Stephanie:''' I'm sorry, what?! "Race rage"?!\\
'''Ryan:''' You are sweet, Stephanie. But when things get competitive, you turn into a raging, psychotic bull!\\
'''Stephanie:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Bulls... are... male!!!]]\\
'''Ryan:''' Whatever! She-bull!
* DeadpanSnarker: Ryan, although it's mostly directed at Stephanie.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Stephanie hates beans.
* FakeMuscles: Implied or rather an insult by Stephanie that most of Ryan's upper body are implants.
* FanDisservice: Ryan wearing the magic assistant's dress in "Dude Buggies".
* GentleGiant: Ryan is easily the most muscular member of the cast, but he's a pretty calm guy... unless Stephanie's needling him at the moment.
* {{Flat Character}}s: For the first few episodes, they do nothing but make out and be madly in love with each other. Starting from their breakup in "Hawaiian Honeyruin", they do nothing except argue with each other up until their elimination episode where they abruptly go back to how they started out in the first place.
* HairTriggerTemper: Stephanie can flip out at a moment's notice.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: While Stephanie isn't particularly small, she is compared to Ryan, who is the largest cast member in ''The Ridonculous Race''.
* InSeriesNickname: The "Haters", which Don has officially started referring to them as.
* {{Leitmotif}}: When they're not fighting there is some starry romantic music
* LoveAtFirstSight: Implied when Ryan said that they been going steady since they met at the gym. Deconstructed as the season goes on and Stephanie turns out extremely different from what Ryan thought she was, [[spoiler:and resulting in their breakup a third in.]]
* TheMasochismTango: They slowly fell into this as the race goes on and Stephanie's competitive side came out. [[spoiler:They even broke up at the end of the Hawaii leg]].
* MakeOutKids: Like Geoff and Bridgette circa ''Action'', they're often seen making out. This gets tossed out the window once Stephanie turns competitive.
* ManChild: WordOfGod claims they're both in their early twenties (Stephanie is 21 and Ryan is 22), yet both of them (mostly Stephanie, but Ryan has his moments too) acts even more childish and immature than the ''Stepbrothers''!
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Stephanie and a few others clearly overclass Ryan in Physical Strength.
* NeverMyFault: Stephanie blames Ryan for everything and accuses him for stuff even she does herself.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While Ryan is usually the straight man and a pretty NiceGuy, he can absolutely get petty when Stephanie is involved after their relationship goes sour.
* OddFriendship: Ryan forms one with Carrie, connecting over their less than ideal relationships. As mentioned above, it's all but dropped without explanation in his final episode.
* PitbullDatesPuppy: The aggressive Stephanie is paired with the laid-back Ryan.
* RealMenWearPink: Ryan has no problem wearing a pink shirt for such a hulking looking gymnastics.
* RevengeBeforeReason: In "Lord of the Ring Toss", [[spoiler:Stephanie decides to Boomerang Ryan out of spite while they're in second place, which nearly ends up getting them eliminated.]]
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Later episodes show clear signs of this when Stephanie's {{tsundere}} personality becomes more apparent.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Stephanie will often swoon at the most insignificant things Ryan says or does. Not so much later on...or at all. [[spoiler:They eventually revert back to this by the time they are eliminated.]]
* SkewedPriorities: [[spoiler: They insist on stopping right before the Chill Zone to correct Don about their name being changed from the Haters back to the Daters, even if though they could have easily taken fourth place and kick the Ice Dancers from the competition.]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: They start to get a lot more attention after [[spoiler:their breakup]] in "Hawaiian Honeyruin", especially because of their VolleyingInsults habit.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** Stephanie does share a lot of the mannerisms as the SassyBlackWoman as Leshawna and arguably Anne Maria while also behaving like Courtney in ''Action'' except if the latter was more unstable.
** Ryan plays the part of the GentleGiant which is very reminiscent of DJ, while also sharing a bit of Courtney's unstable attitude in ''Action''.
** After their [[spoiler: breakup, the way they treat each other while trying to deny that they blatantly '''STILL''' have feelings for one another would strike one as a poor man's version of Duncan & Courtney back when they were still a couple]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler: After their breakup, it's almost as bad, if not worse, than the Stepbrothers. However, like the Stepbrothers, Ryan and Stephanie reconcile just in time to be eliminated.]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Stephanie refuses to allow Ryan to ''ever'' forget that he dumped her on international TV.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Ryan is one for the [[spoiler:"Axis of Evil" along with Sanders. Though the Daters might be this in general since they are the only team that thinks it's an alliance to the end]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: After they broke up, although Stephanie more so than Ryan.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: They're in last place and they're running to the Chill Zone, the Ice Dancers are almost free of their penalty, and it looks like it's going to be a close match... until Stephanie and Ryan stop ''right'' in front of the finish to tell Don that they're now officially back to being the Daters, which allows the Dancers to take fourth place. The Daters get sent home as a result.]]
* TopHeavyGuy: Ryan. He describes himself as "75% upper body".
* UnstoppableRage: Stephanie is very dangerous when angered.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Stephanie.
* VolleyingInsults: After their breakup, all of their conversations consist of this and [[FlatCharacter it's pretty much the only thing they actually contribute to the plot]].

[[folder:Josee and Jacques, Ice Dancers]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jacquesandjosee.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Creator/JulieLemieux (Josee) & Scott [=McCord=] (Jacques)

* TheAce: They excel at anything physical, effortlessly performing flips and figure skating poses. They have came in first more than any other team in the race. However they do have one crucial weakness...
* AchillesHeel: Josee's one weakness is that she is extremely claustrophobic.
* AffectionateNickname: Jacques refers to Josee as ''mon petit chou''[[note]]my little pastry[[/note]], a French term of endearment.
* AlwaysCamp: Figure skating is a stereotypically camp profession, and Jacques and Josee's depictions of that profession are unabashedly over the top.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: They get enraged at [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers coming any lower than first]], which happens a lot.
* AmusingInjuries: Jacques often falls victim to this, particularly against the lion in "Dude Buggies".
* ArchEnemy:
** They have a lot of disdain for the Police Cadets, especially after the events of "Shawshank Ridonc-tion". Coming in first remains a high priority for the Ice Dancers, but eliminating the Cadets becomes a prime objective for Josee.
** Josee begins to hate the Goths after "Got Venom", where she tried to manipulate them but failed. She gets her revenge in "El Bunny Supremo", [[spoiler:where she and Jacques manage to get them eliminated by kidnapping their bunny Loki.]]
* AttentionWhore: They have a habit of hogging the camera with huge smiles on their faces.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The lava rock Josee acquired in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" serves as this.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: As spiteful as their bickering can be, they still have moments where they demonstrate genuine affection for each other. Jacques comforts Josee whenever her {{claustrophobia}} kicks in and Josee gives him a hug when [[spoiler:he sacrifices his hairdo so that they can win the Argentina leg.]]
* AxCrazy: Josee has no qualms about hurting people, ''especially'' if the person in question is Jacques. She even bursts out laughing when she believes that Ennui's bunny, Loki, got eaten by a lion.
* BerserkButton:
** [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers Not coming in first]]. While "silver" or "second place" seems to give Jacques nightmares, Josee ''flips out'' in the confessional after she hears the phrase "third place". Then they start coming in fourth place and not making the podium; neither of them takes it well.
** They also really hate it when there's a team that they can't intimidate or manipulate, which is the source of their distaste for the Surfers, the Goths, and ''especially'' the Police Cadets.
* BigBad: Of ''The Ridonculous Race'', Josee more so than Jacques. While they start just as competitive jerks, in the second half of the season become more villainous toward the other teams, and Josee gains an evil laugh, a {{death glare}}, and a flaming background.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Seemingly nice with smiles plastered on their faces, but they have a more sinister side underneath, especially Josee. Jacques, on the other hand, seems to be more "Sheep" than "Bitch" at times, but the series does remind the viewers why they get along at all. Ennui calls Josee out on this in "Down and Outback" when she pretends to act friendly in an attempt to borrow his makeup.
-->'''Josee:''' ''(to Ennui)'' Oh! Hey there... buddy. Do you mind if I borrow some of your makeup? ''(smiles and laughs nervously)''\\
'''Ennui:''' Don't pretend to be friendly. It's gross.
* BreakThemByTalking:
** In "Lord of the Ring Toss", Josee plays mind games with the Surfer Dudes, making Geoff think that Brody felt he was a hindrance in order to drive a wedge between them. However, this [[SubvertedTrope ultimately backfires]] when Brody and Geoff's friendship proves too strong.
** In "Got Venom", she tries this again with the Goths, but the Goths were [[AvertedTrope unfazed]].
* BridalCarry: Played with during "Hawaiian Honeyruin". In their first attempt at walking across hot coals, Jacques carries Josee over his head in their usual over the top fashion. It is then inverted in their second attempt, with Josee carrying Jacques and finally played straight in their third attempt with Jacques carrying Josee normally.
* BumblingSidekick: How Josee views Jacques at times, especially whenever he drops her.
* CardCarryingVillain: At first they just seemed over-competitive (especially Josee), but by the episode "Ca-noodling" they outright claim they deserve a gold medal in treachery for [[spoiler:getting the Goths eliminated]], and join with the Police Cadets and the Daters in what they proudly refer to as the "Axis of Evil".
* CameraAbuse: In Romania, Josee violently flips the coffin Jacques is in, and his face keeps getting slammed against the night vision camera inside the coffin.
* CheatersNeverProsper: ZigZagged.
** Subverted in "Down and Outback". They first make a regular bunny look like the albino bunny to fool the Cadets, then they trick the Surfer Dudes into helping the Cadets, stealing the former's bunnies in the process. When the Ice Dancers arrive first in New Zealand, Don suspects that their win was illegitimate, but he says doesn't care enough to look into it.
** Played straight in "Lord of the Ring Toss". Josee [[BreakThemByTalking plays mind games]] with the Surfer Dudes, making Geoff think that Brody felt he was a hindrance; however, the Surfer Dudes' friendship proves too strong.
** Played with in "Got Venom". Josee's attempts to sabotage other teams allows them to get a bucket of komodo dragon drool without any effort, but they're devastated to find they placed second.
** Subverted again in "How Deep is Your Love". Josee steals Kitty's ball and smashes her helmet light. When the Ice Dancers reach the Chill Zone, Don slaps them with a 30 minute penalty for not going all the way to the bottom. [[spoiler:Despite the penalty, they still come in first]].
** Played straight in "Darjeel With It". The Ice Dancers [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat uncouple the rest of the train, leaving only their car attached to the engine]]. When the train arrives at the station minus several cars, Don gives them a one hour penalty. [[spoiler: Had the Daters not hesitated, the Ice Dancers would've been eliminated.]]
** Played with again in "Last Tango in Buenos Aires", where Jacques tries to sabotage the Sisters by pouring olive oil on their emu. However the olive oil causes him to continuously slip and fall over. They do however succeed in delaying the Sisters and end up placing first.
** Finally played straight in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", where after spending a whole season of cheating, including in the finale where they ram the Surfers' cab and stealing the Police Cadets cab. [[spoiler:However the Police Cadets end up ramming their cab, causing them to tip upside down and coming in third place.]]
* TheChewToy: Josee often treats Jacques like one.
* ChildProdigy: Given that Jacques is 22 and Josee is 20 according to WordOfGod, coupled with Jacque's implication that he has been Josee's partner for 14 years, this means they started professional ice dancing at ages 8 and 6, respectively. Although it's possible they knew each other before they began ice dancing.
* ChildhoodFriends: Jacques states he has put up with Josee for 14 years. Based on the ages provided by WordOfGod, this means they've known each other since they were 8 and 6 years old.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder:
** Their alliance with the Police Cadets lasts for about half an episode before they betray them and sabotage their ice yacht in Siberia.
** After [=MacArthur=] rescues her during scuba diving challenge in Bahamas, saving her from suffocation or being eliminated, Josee repays her by lobbing a coconut at her head during the race to the Chill Zone.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: Josee, who is ever worse than Gwen and Jasmine. She will have severe panic attacks and hyperventilating or screaming as soon she is in a small space.
** In "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", Josee believes that the air is running out in the cell. Jacques tries to calm her down, telling her that there's plenty of air in the cell, to no avail; however, Josee's panicking eventually breaks them out.
** In "How Deep Is Your Love", she does not look forward to going down into the Kola Borehole, but does so because Jacques' upper body strength is needed to operate the crank above. After being lowered a only a few hundred feet Josee demands that Jacques pull her back up.
** In "Bahamarama", the second challenge is a "Random Botch"; since Josee took the Travel Tip, she has to dive underwater into a cavern, a task she does not look forward to. Of course, her panicking quickly drains her oxygen supply.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Don calls them out for cheating in "Darjeel With It" and slaps them with a one hour penalty, Josee cannot understand what Don has against them.
--> '''Josee:''' What does Don have against us?! Are we too talented, too attractive, too all of the above?!
* CompetitionFreak: Both will not settle for anything less than first place.
-->''(after Don reveals that the Adversity Twins checked in before the Ice Dancers)''\\
'''Jacques:''' You mean, WE'RE FOURTH?! We didn't make the podium AT ALL?!\\
'''Don:''' ''(confused)'' What podium? There is no podium.\\
'''Josee:''' There is ''always'' a podium!
* CuteAndPsycho: Josee; she threw a tantrum off-screen because Don told her and Jacques that they came in third at the first Chill Zone. As the season moves along, she becomes more ruthless, amoral, and just plain unhinged.
* CuteButCacophonic:
** Late in the season, Josee is more prone to shouting.
** Jacques has the [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl highest pitched scream]] of any male character.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Josee, [[JustifiedTrope which is typical for a figure skating outfit]].
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: After getting the curse removed from themselves, the Ice Dancers have become obsessed not with just winning, but crushing the other teams. The irony being [[TheAce they are more than capable of finishing competitions quickly]] but they are determined to screw other teams over while doing so, even if it sets them back.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** Josee's abusive treatment of Jacques is her way of getting revenge on him for accidentally dropping her during the Olympics -- a humiliating incident, yes, but one he's already apologized for countless times.
** They try to run Dwayne over with a jeep when he tells them that he considers his son more important than any gold medal in "My Way or Zimbabwe".
** To show what they think of second in the Arctic Circle, Josee takes her rage out on Don's snowman friend.
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: [[spoiler: They were given first place in the fourth episode because of Dwayne & Junior's and Tom & Jen's penalties. This happened again in the sixth episode when Laurie & Miles were penalized.]]
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Josee is often abusive towards Jacques as retribution for him dropping her during the Olympics.
* DramaQueen: Both of them, especially whenever they place anything worse than first. Josee winds up being much worse about it, but Jacques is never without his moments.
* EnemyMine:
** They briefly form a truce with the Cadets in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" when they are locked in prison together after using boomerangs on each other.
** They are forced to do so again in "Ca-Noodling" during a super team challenge that involves three teams, though this time it's more of an example of TeethClenchedTeamwork, as Josee and [=MacArthur=] argue and fight throughout the challenge.
* EvilIsBurningHot: Josee sometimes gets burning silhouettes when she does an EvilLaugh.
* EvilLaugh:
** Josee starts giving these, with the one in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" even having her turn demonic.
** Both of them engage in evil gloating in front of Don in "My Way or Zimbabwe". Don says that's just all kinds of creepy.
* EvilWearsBlack: In "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", they wear [[PaletteSwap black versions of their regular outfits]]. Josee lampshades this by saying that the black outfits tell people to get out of their way.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler: Josee said they'll help the Cadets if [=MacArthur=] said that Ice Dancing was the greatest sport in the world. After [=MacArthur=] said that, Josee said she helped the cadets on their way out.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Jacques usually goes along with Josee's demands, and he suffers the consequences for them. However, in "Bahamarama", Jacques puts his foot down against Josee's abusive behavior.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: On the outside, they seem like Canada's sweethearts, but on the inside, they're both ruthless jerks.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: They really cannot take the easy route through the magic trick in "Dude Buggies".
* FangsAreEvil: Josee seems to gain fangs whenever she does her maniacal {{Evil Laugh}}s.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Josee sure makes a big deal about smiling and looking nice in front of the camera but she's really anything but nice. Although Jacques seems to lean more towards the AffablyEvil alignment.
* FourIsDeath: When they start placing fourth consecutively after Josee picks up the [[ArtifactOfDoom lava rock]]. Particularly notable is that they start placing forth the second time in China, where the unlucky superstition originates. Lampshaded by the Goths, as they tell them to ditch the lava rock in Finland.
* FrenchJerk: French-Canadian actually; however, both of them are rude, arrogant, and ill-tempered towards the other contestants.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason they are so obsessed with winning is because Jacques accidentally dropped Josee when they finally got the chance to get gold in the Olympics, becoming national embarrassments instead. Also, Josee apparently had a pretty bad StageMom.
* GrewASpine: Jacques finally gets fed up with Josee in "Bahamarama" and refuses to partake in her sabotage anymore. He also states he no longer wants to go pro with her, due to wanting to do other things with his life.
* GoneHorriblyRight: In "Lord of the Ring Toss", [[spoiler:Josee tries to continuously put the Surfers' friendship under stress by spouting lies to each one of them. This backfires horribly on the Ice Dancers when the Surfers gain a lot of passion for their team and end up beating them for first place]].
* GoodLuckCharm:
** Josee keeps a lucky rabbit's foot named "Bun-Bun" as a good luck charm. She loses it in Transylvania when it falls out of her pocket during the carriage ride. She later finds a lava rock shaped like a trophy and takes it as her new one, only for it to turn out to be a BadLuckCharm. [[TheCassandra A local even warns her that taking it would be bad]], but she refuses to listen [[spoiler: until the Goths told them about it in the Finland leg]].
** Jacques claims he has a lucky pair of underwear, which he hasn't washed since starting the race.
* GracefulLoser: Oddly, when they actually thought they were eliminated (before it was revealed to be a non-elimination challenge) they tearfully thank their fans for supporting them and bow out quite gracefully. [[spoiler:In the finale, after they come in third, they appear to take their loss with grace until Josee snaps and starts destroying Central Park.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Josee will get angry at a moment's notice, especially if she doesn't come in first or if she has to share an advantage with other teams if she does come in first.
* HeelFaceTurn: Jacques has one briefly in "Bahamarama"; however, he switches back after Josee almost drowns. Subverted in that he wasn't against Josee wanting him to cheat, he was against getting penalized for cheating. [[spoiler: They claim to have learned their lesson about playing fair after coming in third, although it's clear you can take that claim with a grain of salt.]]
* IconicItem: Josee's rabbit foot, "Bun-Bun" and later her lava rock.
* InASingleBound: They are capable of jumping huge inhuman distances.
* InSeriesNickname: They have a few of these, most of them from [=MacArthur=], including; "Skaters", "Ice Skating Freaks", and "Freezer Breath", as well as "Skater Girl" for Josee. Kitty also calls them "Ice Dunces".
* ItsPersonal: In "Down and Outback", Josee declares that simply winning was no longer enough and she wouldn't be satisfied unless she got revenge on the Police Cadets.
-->'''Josee:''' ''(referring to the Police Cadets)'' They boomeranged us! \\
'''Jacques:''' We boomeranged them.\\
'''Josee:''' I want revenge! Winning is no longer enough; ''I'' need to be [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the one who makes them lose]]!\\
'''Jacques:''' I think winning is still enough.\\
'''Josee:''' YOU'RE WRONG!!! ''(Jacques falls out of his seat)''
* JerkJock: Josee more than Jacques.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his treachery, Jacques is the more sympathetic of the two, although his sympathy is usually reserved for Josee.
* JustAStupidAccent: They have extremely exaggerated French-Canadian accents, but Jacques is a more notable example.
* KarmaHoudini: Lampshaded by Kitty, who claims that Karma had seemingly left the Ice Dancers off her list. Unless one considers them getting eliminated in the season finale at 3rd place, thanks to the Police Cadets and the Surfers, neither Jacques or Josee get any real or lasting punishment for their actions.
* LargeHam: They "perform" their challenges with more flair than necessary, and they often wave to their fans watching.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Given that they regularly cheat, they have a lot of CheatersNeverProsper moments.
** In "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Jacques trips in the final stretch, allowing Devin and Carrie to come in second ahead of them.
** In "Hello and Dubai", Josee gets distracted by a seagull and is knocked out by the Tennis Menace.
** In "Maori or Less", as they taunt Dwayne and Junior for missing the first train, the Ice Dancers' heads hit a post, knocking them out.
** In "El Bunny Supremo", the Ice Dancers are hit with a 10 minute penalty after their burros run away [[spoiler:because Loki, Ennui's pet bunny, scared them away. The penalty allows the Cadets to finish ahead of them]].
** In "How Deep is your Love", after cheating their way into first place by stealing Kitty's ball and smashing her helmet light, Don slaps them with a 30 minute penalty for not descending to the bottom of the hole. However this turns out to be a [[KarmaHoudini subversion]], as they still end up in first place.
** In "Darjeel With it", Don slaps an hour penalty for detaching the train cars. [[spoiler:They barely avoided elimination because the Daters decided to stop right before the carpet and declare they're back together just as the Ice Dancers' penalty expired.]]
** In "Last Tango in Buenos Aires", Kitty gets revenge on the Ice Dancers by tricking the airport clerk into giving them the seats next to the smelly lavatory. Later on, Jacques keeps slipping off his horse due to being covered in vegetable oil, which he had poured himself in an attempt to sabotage the Sisters.
** [[spoiler:Their greatest shame is the fact that they won silver at the Olympics. In the finale, after an entire season of cheating and lying their way through the race, the two came in third place.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Both of them, but especially Jacques.
* LaughingMad: Josee's EvilLaugh is one of the more psychotic ones in the Total Drama franchise, on par with Mal and Scarlett.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Triumphant trumpet music plays during their confessionals or when they perform well in challenges.
* LightIsNotGood: Despite the pink outfits and constant smiles, both are ruthless competitors, Josee more than Jacques.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Jacques is this to Josee. He attempts to be the voice of reason as Josee becomes more emotionally unstable.
* LuckyRabbitsFoot: Josee keeps one as an Good Luck Charm. She even named it "Bun-Bun". She lost it in Romania after it fell out of her pocket during the carriage ride.
* MagicSkirt: In "French is an Effiel Language", Josee somehow doesn't flash panties while balancing on Jacques' hands upside down.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: In "How Deep is Your Love," the Ice Dancers say that if they find the opportunity to get the Cadets eliminated, they'll do exactly this. Cue evil laughter.
* ManipulativeBitch: Josee, after she resorts to cheating and sabotage.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Josee is rather aggressive; Jacques not so much.
* MoodSwinger: Josee, who can change from one mood to another in an instant. This is best seen in "New Beijinging" after Jacques lands on his ankle wrong.
-->'''Josee:''' ''(seeing Jacques screaming in pain)'' Snap out of it! This is a competition; our fans are watching! EAT THE PAIN!!! ''(her mood shifts from angry to cheerful)'' ♪And smile!♪
* MythologyGag: They were briefly alluded to in ''Island'', with the mentions of two Ice Dancers with a male dropping the female.
* TheNicknamer: Josee has a tendency to nickname other teams, especially the Police Cadets, who she calls "mall cops" and "copper wannabes". She also calls Emma "lawyer girl".
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Jacques is devastated about having to sacrifice his hairdo to absorb the oil on his hands in "Last Tango in Buenos Aires".
* NotSoAboveItAll: Jacques is usually the rational one between them, but he can be just as devious as Josee at times.
* NotSoDifferent: [=MacArthur=] to Josee; both have an extremely devious streak and need their partners to hold them back at times.
* OldShame: Jacques getting Silver at the Olympics is one for him InUniverse.
* OneHeadTaller: Jacques is tall and somewhat stout while Josee is short and petite.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In Australia, Josee develops this mentality towards the Police Cadets.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: In "Little Bull on the Prairie", they come in 7th place and just smile and wave. This is the same pair that threw angry and violent fits whenever they placed ''2nd''.
* PerpetualSmiler: Both smile constantly, [[TheUnSmile rather creepily]]. Their justification is that the cameras can pop up anytime.
* PlotArmor: The Ice Dancers have come close to being eliminated a few times, but get spared due to being the {{Big Bad}}s of the season.
* PragmaticVillainy: In "Bahamarama" Jacques tells Josee not to sabotage the other contestants as they might get penalized for it.
* RageBreakingPoint: Josee often holds back her anger and hides it behind a smile, before she unleashes it during an interview where she throws a tantrum.
* RedOniBlueOni: The impulsive Josee is the red to Jacques' rational blue.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Josee is hellbent on getting back at Jacques for dropping her at the Olympics, even if it means hurting her teammates during challenges.
* RunningGag: Their poor reactions to not getting first place. ''Then'' there's their reactions for [[UpToEleven not being treated properly when they do get first place]].
* SanitySlippage: Josee's getting crazier and more villainous the longer the race goes on. In "Dude Buggies", she believes that the Goths are vampires, despite Jacques saying otherwise.
* SarcasticDevotee: While he's willing to criticize her, Jacques is still completely willing to go along with Josee's antics.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: A darker version. Josee is often impulsive and Jacques attempts to be the voice of reason.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Jacques has the highest pitched scream of any male contestant.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Subverted. In "Bahamarama", Jacques has finally had enough of Josee's ill temper and threatens to quit on her; however, he doesn't follow through.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: As competitive ice dancers, they practically live and breathe this principle.
* SeriousBusiness: [[JustifiedTrope As Olympians]], they treat getting the gold medal as such. When Dwayne says "Who cares about a dumb gold medal?", the Ice Dancers want to run him over for saying that.
* ShesGotLegs: They both have long legs that they show off via Jacques' polyester costume and Josee's DangerouslyShortSkirt.
* SlasherSmile: They are quite fond of this, especially when they're harming people.
* SkewedPriorities: In "My Way or Zimbabwe", they prioritize dumping the lava rock back in Hawaii over going to Zimbabwe. [[spoiler:Had the leg not been a non-elimination round, the ice dancers would have been easily eliminated.]]
* SoreLoser: Josee doesn't react well to getting anything outside an first place finish. [[spoiler:When she and Jacques are finally eliminated and ultimately place third, she goes berserk and starts destroying statues and hot dog carts in Central Park until Jacques clams her down.]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Along with the Police Cadets, they are the most focused on pairing, placing no worse than third in the first eight episodes, and they're the {{Big Bad}}s of the first season.
* StepfordSmiler: Josee, who seems to be Type 3.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They're similar to Alejandro in ''World Tour'' in terms of being villains [[BitchInSheepsClothing who hide their intentions behind smiles]], and [[TheAce dominate the challenges with exceptional skill]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With the Police Cadets during the "The Shawshank Ridonc-tion". [[spoiler:They then form a sketchy alliance in "Ca-noodling"]].
* TrashTalk: Mainly reserved for the Police Cadets.
* {{Troll}}: Jacques attempts to be one towards Josee in "How Deep Is Your Love" for the Russian pilot's slow enunciation, only for the former to get punched by the latter.
* TwitchyEye: Josee, any time she comes in anything worse than first place.
* UngratefulBitch:
** Josee has totally forgotten when the Goths alerted them about the lava rock.
** In "Bahamarama", she throws a coconut and knocks [=MacArthur=] over, just after the latter saved her life from dying in an enclose space underwater. The Cadets, of course, call her out on it.
* UnknownRival: To the Goths after they start getting on their nerves. They view them as huge threats in need of targeting, while the Goths don't notice or care [[spoiler:until the Goths learn that the Ice Dancers kidnapped Loki]].
* TheUnSmile: At best, their constant smiles are creepy. At their worst, it crosses over to SlasherSmile.
* UnstoppableRage: When Josee becomes angry, she gains monstrous strength and will trash all of her surroundings in a temper tantrum.
* VampireHunter: In "Dude Buggies", Josee, during her SanitySlippage, believes that the Goths are vampires, and she tries to use bulbs of garlic and a wooden stake against them.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Josee completely ''LOSES IT'' when they are finally eliminated, coming in third behind the Cadets and Surfer Dudes in the final episode. She goes on a rampage and starts destroying statues and hot dog carts in Central Park. Jacques was a lot more accepting of defeat, and is able to quickly calm her down]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: While they give each other a ton of crap (''especially'' Josee towards Jacques), at the end of the day they're still partners.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** Jacques thinks fish are disgusting and is terrified of reaching inside slimy catfish mouths in "Ca-noodling", saying that it's like giving his grandmother a foot rub.
** Josee has severe claustrophobia, so naturally she's horrified when she realizes that she's the one who has to be lowered down the Kola Borehole in "How Deep Is Your Love".
* YoungerThanTheyLook: They could be mistaken for late twenties to early thirties, but WordOfGod reveals Jacques is 22 while Josee is 20.

[[folder:Geoff and Brody, Surfer Dudes]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brodyandgeoff.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Dan Petronijevic (Geoff) & Scott [=McCord=] (Brody)

See [[Characters/TotalDramaKillerBass Total Drama Killer Bass]] for tropes specific to Geoff during his time on ''Total Drama''.

* AllLovingHero: There isn't a single person they're not nice to, especially Geoff who is even friendly towards mean characters like Emma and Lorenzo. This trait shines brighter in "Ca-noodling" when they allow the Best Friends to overtake them. [[spoiler:This causes them to be eliminated for coming last...until later on in "Last Tango to Buenos Aires" the Best Friends were unluckily forced to drop out and, due to a rule, pay them back by giving them another chance at the race in their place]].
** The closest they have ever come to being hostile is saying they were aware the Ice Dancers were messing with them, and even then they state they would keep playing it fair.
* AmazonChaser: Brody is attracted to [=MacArthur=], likely for this reason. Unfortunately for him, [[AllLoveIsUnrequited she doesn't return his affection]] [[spoiler:until the end of the final episode]].
* AmusingInjuries: Brody is a living magnet for this, unlike Geoff.
* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: In "Got Venom" they run towards a bunch of komodo dragons that treed [[spoiler:Sanders and [=MacArthur=]]], only to run away and get treed themselves.
* {{Badass}}: They may be funny guys, but their skills are no joke. There's a reason they were the second team to win back-to-back legs.
* BalloonBelly: Brody gets one in "Bahamarama" as after the leaving the show he had filled the void of not asking [=MacArthur=] out, with burritos.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: They arrive just in time to save Emma, whom they considered part of their 'alliance', from falling to her death in "Ca-Noodling".]]
* BigEater: Both of them easily finish their pork 'n beans first in "Little Bull on the Prairie".
* {{Bromance}}: Their friendship purposely invokes this trope, with Brody once saying he'd marry Geoff all over again after the BridalCarry challenge in Hawaii. Even some of the other characters get in on the fun, with Don acting like an emotional wedding guest as the boys celebrate winning first place in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" and Noah implying that he wouldn't be surprised if he saw them kissing each other in "Maori or Less".
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Due to a technicality in the rules, they are chosen as the team to replace Carrie and Devin as one of the final four teams after Devin was medically unable to continue]].
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:After returning to the show, they manage to do pretty well in the challenges, if you count the ending where they win, then they were the first to reach the last three chill zones, quite impressing!]].
* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Both of them have this to an extent, thinking komodo dragons breathe fire. However Brody is an ever worse case, thinking [=MacArthur=] has a real pet unicorn and unsure if the Surfer Dudes were made of magic beans.
* CatchPhrase: "Boom!" accompanied by a fist-bump.
* TheChewToy: Brody, very much so.
* ComfortFood: After he and Geoff were eliminated in "Ca-Noodling", Brody felt empty due to missing his chance to ask [=MacArthur=] out, so he filled that void with burritos, and ended up putting on some weight. Fortunately, he loses all that extra weight in the finale.
* TheDitz: They openly acknowledge they're not bright and probably the least intelligent team. Brody mentions that he was on the swim team for all ''six'' years of high school, meaning he was held back twice.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:What's a better ending than being eliminated, coming back, AND winning the race?]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: They compliment the Adversity Twins during the first Either/Or, setting them up as the [[NiceGuy nice guys]] of the race.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Geoff calls Brody a "human trash can" in "Bjorken Telephone", claiming that he will eat anything. Fortunately for Geoff, Brody was still in a catatonic state during the Icelandic feast challenge, allowing Geoff to feed Brody without any resistance.
--> '''Geoff:''' Brody's got the tastebuds of [[{{Dissimile}} a dude who doesn't have any tastebuds.]]
* {{Flat Character}}s
** Geoff is this when compared to how he was in ''World Tour''.
** Despite being a GeniusDitz and having HiddenDepths, at the end of the day Brody is mostly a stupider version of Geoff.
** Outside of Brody's crush on MacArthur, neither of them really had any type of plotline or development to justify how long they stayed in the game. [[spoiler:They're arguably the most undeserving/underdeveloped finalists to date.]]
* FormerlyFit: Brody really let himself go with burritos after [[spoiler:they were eliminated. This is subverted in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars" when he somehow loses all those extra lbs.]]
* FunPersonified: They're all about having a good time.
* GeniusDitz: Brody starts to become a lot more helpful in the last challenges of the competition.
* {{Glomp}}: When they come in first, the two embrace and sometimes include Don, [[HatesBeingTouched who doesn't really like it.]]
* GroinAttack: In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Brody follows after Geoff when they swing across a canyon on a vine. Brody ends up swinging groin first into the edge of the cliff that Geoff had no problem landing on. Geoff seemed to be oblivious to how much pain Brody was in.
* HarmlessElectrocution: When their boat's motor dies, Geoff realizes that Brody touching the wires got the motor working again. When they finally reach their destination, Brody was charred black. It's subverted in the next episode where Brody is near catatonic from being electrocuted.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: They seem to go way back as best buds.
* HiddenDepths: Brody seems to have some confidence issues, since he tends to break down when he's struggling and fears that he'll be the reason that he and Geoff get eliminated.
* HistoryRepeats:
** [[spoiler:A subversion: This isn't the first time Geoff came in 6th place... but it ''is'' the first time he came back.]]
** Brody's leg gets injured again in [[spoiler:the finale]], and he recovers by eating the same banana he got in the first episode.
* {{Keet}}: They're enthusiastic about pretty much everything.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[InvertedTrope The good kind]]. [[spoiler:Their good sportsmanship in letting the Best Friends continue in the race instead of them allows them to return after "Last Tango in Buenos Aires" when Carrie decides to replace them after Devin is gravely injured]].
* {{Lovable Jock}}s: Geoff & Brody are very affable guys.
* MagneticHero: They make friends very easily and get along well with most of the other teams.
* MythologyGag: Brody's injury is very similar to Geoff's in "Up The Creek".
* NiceGuy: They're both very friendly and are happy to help out the other teams.
* NiceGuysFinishLast: [[spoiler: Averted. The power of nice lead the Surfers to victory!]]
* OwMyBodyPart: Brody after his calf cramped.
* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: They celebrate victories by yelling a variation of "I love you!" and "I love you too!" at each other while hugging. After the honeymoon challenge, Brody tosses "I'd marry you all over again!" into the mix.
* PluckyComicRelief: One of the season's funnier teams.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: They believe in this, and consider it to be the only tactic they need.
* RealMenWearPink: Both of them literally wear the color and are unembarrassed by things that are perceived as non-masculine.
* ShipTease: Brody has developed a crush on [=MacArthur=]. She's flattered by it, [[spoiler:and tells him to call her after the finale]].
* {{Surfer Dude}}s: Their team label.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Dude Buggies", despite finishing the dune buggy challenge in record time, they decide to play around with dune buggy more, which drops them from first to fifth.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Geoff was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but seeing his behavior here is quite jarring compared to when he was last seen in ''World Tour'' where he was at his smartest. He's also arguably dumber here than in ''Island''.
* TrueCompanions: So much so that when the Ice Dancers tried to turn them against each other, it only strengthened their friendship.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Brody has a fear of sharks.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Since they're both FunPersonified they get pumped up about anything and everything. Bungee jumping? Awesome. Dune buggies? Awesome. Wading through a river filled with crocodiles and oversized catfish? Awesome.
--> '''Brody:''' ''(wiping away a tear)'' Our lives are just... ''so'' awesome.
* YankTheDogsChain: In "Ca-noodling", [[spoiler:Don plays with their feelings by telling them they're still in the race despite being the last ones at the chill zone... When they do cross the zone, he then says they're eliminated and even explains it was all for television drama...]].

[[folder:Dwayne and Junior, Father and Son]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dwayneandjr.JPG]]
--> ''Voiced by:'' Neil Crone (Dwayne) & Jacob Ewaniuk (Junior)

* {{Adorkable}}: Junior's attempts to show how much of a "man" he is can come off as this, likewise Dwayne's attempts to be cool with the younger and hipper contestants can come off as endearingly awkward as well.
* AdultFear:
** They ended up separated in Zimbabwe and Dwayne was horrified. Especially at the fact that Junior could have been eaten by a lion.
** Dwayne also [[PapaWolf reacts angrily]] when a man grabs Junior in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" (it was just a prison guard, but they didn't know that at the time).
---> "Get your hands off my kid!"
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Dwayne has a tendency to unintentionally embarrass his son in front of other people.
* BearHug: Dwayne pulls Junior into one when they reunite at the end of "My Way or Zimbabwe". The hug knocks Junior off his feet, but he reciprocates all the same.
* BigOlEyebrows: Junior has large black eyebrows that don't match his hair.
* BornLucky: As if to balance out Dwayne's supernaturally terrible luck, the team as a whole have benefited from other teams' misfortunes on several occasions or Junior doing the work for them.
* BornUnlucky: Dwayne might very well be cursed. He gets injured in every episode, messes up the challenges, and keeps unintentionally offending others which result in him getting scolded or attacked.
* BumblingDad: Dwayne screws up so many times, he and Junior are lucky to get as far as they have.
* ButtMonkey: Dwayne, who is extremely disliked in-universe, due to his [[BornUnlucky horrid luck and lack of tact]].
* CameraAbuse: Dwayne accidentally punched the confessional camera in "Mediterranean Homesick Blues".
* CharacterDevelopment: Their relationship steadily improves during the course of the season, as Dwayne learns to start treating his son like an adult while Junior starts to look past his dad's [[BumblingDad bumbling]] exterior and enjoy his company. This is [[{{Bookends}} bookended]] with their introduction and [[spoiler:elimination]] clips: In the former, Dwayne forces enthusiasm while Junior ignores him and scowls at the camera. In the latter, they're laughing and making plans to binge-watch ''Pahkitew Island'' together.
* DeadpanSnarker: Junior. Best exemplified when Dwayne proudly talks about trying to make an alliance with Kelly and Taylor in the confessional.
-->'''Junior''': Have you met them?!
* DumbassHasAPoint: After listening to Kelly's ramblings about Taylor's behavior for an entire trip, which is still not finished. Dwayne gave his viewpoint as a fellow parent and someone who is outside her social circle that Taylor was born spoiled.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The two eventually start to like each other more after a rocky start. [[spoiler:They take this to heart after being eliminated]].
* ElevatorButtonsMash: Dwayne accidentally did this in the first episode, so he & Junior just took the stairs.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: Dwayne gets a chin tattoo in order to appear cool to Junior. Unfortunately, Junior reveals it's a tattoo for ''women''. Almost nobody takes Dwayne seriously for the rest of the race.
* {{Expy}}: Dwayne is based on [[Film/NationalLampoonsVacation Clark Griswold]].
* FacePalm: Junior frequently does this in response to his father's antics.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In "None Down, Nineteen to Go - Part 2", Junior mentions that he doesn't pay attention to Dwayne's stories or advice. In "My Way or Zimbabwe", this causes him to misremember what he's supposed to do if he gets lost.
--> '''Dwayne:''' The family rule is if you get separated, go back to the last place you saw each other. \\
''(later, when Junior is talking to another team)'' \\
'''Junior:''' My dad says the family rule is if you get separated, go to your destination.
* TheGlomp: [[spoiler:When they get eliminated]] in "Little Bull on the Prairie", Dwayne begins to sigh in disappointment but is interrupted by Junior tackle-hugging him.
* GoodParents: Despite being a BumblingDad, Dwayne always looks out for Junior's best interest, always volunteering to take on the more dangerous challenges in his place.
* HonorBeforeReason: In the second leg of "Hawaiian Honeyruin" one contestant is required to wear a grass skirt while their partner carries them over hot coals. Junior refuses to wear the skirt (because he knows his schoolmates will see) despite Dwayne pointing out that it's the less painful option.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Pretty much any time Dwayne talks to someone other than Junior, he winds up being this.
* IronButtMonkey: Dwayne gets injured almost every episode, but so far hasn't taken any lasting damage.
* JustAKid: Junior is often on the receiving end of this.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In the Iceland leg, Dwayne accidentally steals the Vegans' fossil and ends up getting "cursed" by Laurie despite trying to return the fossil to them. In the following episode, the fossil shatters on the airport runway and its shards pierce the wheels of the plane Dwayne and Junior are on, causing it to fall behind the second place plane that the Vegans are on.
* TheLoad: Dwayne's age and bad luck make him a burden at times.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Junior gets a crush on Carrie immediately after meeting her.
* NiceHat: Junior wears a backwards red cap.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Junior's appearance is reminiscent of Music/JustinBieber.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Dwayne, so many times.
** While trying to recite a travel phrase in "Bjorken Telephone", Dwayne ''somehow'' manages to say something offensive in Icelandic -- which earns him an angry slap from the local.
---> '''Junior:''' What did you even say to her?\\
'''Dwayne:''' I have no idea!
** In "Hello and Dubai", while conversing with Kelly, he implies that Taylor is a SpoiledBrat. However, judging by Kelly's reaction and how Taylor treats her, [[DumbassHasAPoint it's true]].
** In "My Way or Zimbabwe", Dwayne runs into the last place Ice Dancers while searching for Junior. While their conversation is surprisingly civil at first, the moment he says "Who cares about a dumb gold medal?" the Ice Dancers [[SeriousBusiness take it personally]] and [[DisproportionateRetribution try to run him over]].
* OneSteveLimit: Both father and son are named Dwayne, but the younger is called Junior to avert this problem.
* OverprotectiveDad: Dwayne wraps Junior in more than a dozen life-jackets before they perform the waterfall challenge in "My Way or Zimbabwe".
* PrecociousCrush: Junior has a crush on Carrie and was planning to ask her out until Devin informed him that she doesn't date "younger men".
--> '''Devin:''' But hey, give it a couple years. She might change her mind.
* SoProudOfYou:
** Junior after his dad got the Travel Tip from the sharks in "Mediterranean Homesick Blues".
** Dwayne said this after Junior handed the camera to Don in "My Way or Zimbabwe", securing them a 10th place finish exactly one spot ahead of the Ice Dancers.
* TeensAreShort: Justified, since Junior is the youngest of the contestants at 13 years old.
* TemptingFate: [[spoiler: At the start of their final episode, Dwayne admits in a confessional that even if they were to lose, he appreciates the time he got to spend with his son. Junior ends up freaking out and tells his dad [[HangingALampshade that he's jinxing them.]] Sure enough, they get eliminated next.]]
* TooDumbToLive: Dwayne, again. Instead of safely skewering a scorpion with a stick, he tries picking one by hand. The task giver there saves him from getting pinched...but his blind overconfidence gets the better of him and he does it again, this time getting every scorpion to pinch his hand and leave him stupefied for the rest of the episode.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Dwayne is goofy and overestimates his own competence. Junior tries constantly to get his dad to listen to reason.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite his age, Junior is one of the most rational and level headed characters in the cast.

[[folder:Sanders and [=MacArthur=], PoliceCadets]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandersandmacarthur.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Nicole Stamp (Sanders) & Evany Rosen ([=MacArthur=])

* {{Acrofatic}}: [=MacArthur=] is really agile despite her size.
* ActionGirl: Both of them.
* AntiHero: [=MacArthur=] can resort to questionable means, and can often be quite rude, but usually remains on the good side. Although there are times when she crosses over to ...
* AntiVillain: There are times when [=MacArthur=]'s tendency to bend rules goes to far, and she can come off as being just as devious and manipulative as Josee. This is best seen in "Ca-Noodling" where it's shown she is NotSoDifferent from her ArchEnemy and joins in sabotaging the other teams.
* ArchEnemy: [=MacArthur=] dislikes the Ice Dancers from the very beginning, finding their [[PerpetualSmiler permanent smiles]] [[TheUnSmile creepy]] and suspicious, but it becomes personal once they intentionally knock Sanders over during the foot race to the Don Box in Translyvania. Sanders initially disapproves of this, worried that focusing too much on one particular team will cut down their efficiency, but changes her viewpoint in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", where the Ice Dancers [[spoiler:abandon the Cadets during the first leg and then betray them in the second.]] From then onwards the conflict escalates to a fullout war of them {{Trash Talk}}ing and trying to eliminate each other every second episode.
--> '''[=MacArthur:=]''' [[IWarnedYou I warned you]] about those dirty, lousy, no good, ice-for-brains JERKS!\\
'''Sanders:''' You did, and you were right. We're never playing nice with them again!
* {{Badass}}: They're one of the strongest teams in the competition, which Don even acknowledges and respects them for. [=MacArthur=] in particular has pulled off some of the most impressive physical feats in the series.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sanders is usually the more civil and rational one of the duo; however, when angered or motivated, she can be quite effective.
* BigEater: [=MacArthur=] relishes the opportunity to eat a big vat of pork 'n beans for free. Sanders attempts to eat her share of the pot so they won't get penalized, but [=MacArthur=] tells her to get her own pot.
* BlushStickers: [=MacArthur=] has these.
* BoyishShortHair: Sanders
* BrainsAndBrawn: Sanders is the brains to [=MacArthur=]'s brawn.
* BullyAndWimpPairing: To an extent. The brash and impulsive [=MacArthur=] drags the more logical and sensible Sanders into her schemes. However, towards the final stretch, Sanders becomes more assertive.
* ByTheBookCop: Sanders, who wishes to win the competition without breaking any laws.
* CallBack: In one episode [=MacArthur=] reveals she's trained her nose in order to replace the police dogs who sniff out fruit smugglers at the border, [[spoiler: later she reveals she faked her way into the police academy and actually ''was'' a fruit smuggler, herself.]]
* CanonWelding: When she was six, [=MacArthur=] had a babysitter named [[WesternAnimation/SixTeen Jen Masterson]].
* CatchPhrase: [=MacArthur=] has "Nailed it!"
* CharacterDevelopment:
** [=MacArthur=] starts developing beginning with "How Deep is Your Love"; after her recklessness injures Sanders, she starts putting their friendship above the competition and learns to respect Sanders as a partner rather than an asset. This reaches it's pinnacle in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars" where [=MacArthur=] admits Sanders was the tough one while she's the sidekick.
** Sanders mans up and [[GrewASpine grows a spine]] when she learns to stand up against [=MacArthur=] when the latter goes too far. She's become far less of a pushover than she was when the show started.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: [=MacArthur=] somehow managed to train herself to smell hidden objects so that [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext she'd be able to catch anyone who tries to smuggle oranges across the border.]]
* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:As revealed in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", Sanders can do a perfect impersonation of a police siren, something she admitted to have practiced just in case, thinking she'd never get to do it on the show.]]
* CodeOfHonour: Both of them possess one. It becomes important in "Bahamarama" when it leads [=MacArthur=] to rescues her ArchEnemy Josee from dying in a SaveTheVillain moment.
* CompetitionFreak: [=MacArthur=] to a degree, who cannot resist turning down a challenge, even when it's farting. ''Especially'' when it's farting.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Both women.
* ControlFreak: Sanders describes [=MacArthur=] as one in "Brazilian Pain Forest", where she stubbornly insists on using her bare hands to break the coconuts even when Sanders offers her a hammer.
* CowboyCop: When Sanders says she doesn't want to break any international laws, [=MacArthur=] says she's okay with breaking a few. She's pretty aggressive and is willing to be quite pragmatic to overcoming challenges. [[spoiler: In "Got Venom", she confesses that she's done a lot of illegal stuff that will probably get her fired after the race is over.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Sanders, although it's mostly just directed at [=MacArthur=].
* {{Determinator}}: In "El Bunny Supremo", after Sanders tells [=MacArthur=] that the Ice Dancers got hit with a ten minute penalty, [=MacArthur=] carries her uncooperative burro to the Chill Zone. Sanders then gets to show this in the final round, after their clue falls down a sewer drain, she outright breaks the cast on her left arm and twists her own broken bones, sticking her arm down the drain and snatching their clue, [[spoiler: which, coupled with [=MacArthur=] carrying a now unconscious Sanders towards Don, manages to finally get their rivals, the Ice Dancers, eliminated]].
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: [[spoiler: They won the Mexico leg because of Jacques & Josee arriving without their burros.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy:
** [=MacArthur=] does so when she drives the taxi in Paris.
** The same can be said for Sanders when she takes the wheel in "A Million Ways To Lose A Million Dollars", where she promptly states she learns from the master, meaning [=MacArthur=].
* DungeonBypass: In "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", [=MacArthur=] breaks out of prison by pulling the bars right out of the wall. The challenge was to escape prison, but the cells were equipped with trap doors and secret tunnels. She decided to literally just break out of prison.
* EnemyMine:
** They briefly form a truce with the Ice Dancers in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" when they are locked in prison together after using boomerangs on each other.
** They are forced to do so again in "Ca-Noodling" during a super team challenge that involves three teams, though this time it's more of an example of TeethClenchedTeamwork, as Josee and [=MacArthur=] argue and fight throughout the challenge. When they finally decide to cooperate, they realize they're NotSoDifferent and join forces to sabotage the other team. Sanders describes this as an "Axis of Evil".
* EvilLaugh: Gives one in "Ca-Noodling" when she joins forces with Josee to sabotage the other teams.
* {{Expy}}: Of Creator/MelissaMcCarthy and [[Creator/SandraBullock Sandra Bullock]]'s characters from ''Film/TheHeat''.
* FatAndSkinny: [=MacArthur=] and Sanders, respectively.
* FatBastard: [=MacArthur=] is this to an extent.
* FlashedBadgeHijack: [=MacArthur=] frequently does this to steal vehicles from bystanders to use in the race.
* {{Gasshole}}: Farts are pretty SeriousBusiness to [=MacArthur=]. She's quite proud of her farts and eagerly jumps at the chance to upstage anyone else's farts (human or animal) with her own. After seeing Spud light a fart on fire up on stage in Finland, she says she wouldn't have lost on her first attempt if she knew they were fair game.
* GoodCopBadCop: Their main shtick. Sanders is the good cop, [=MacArthur=] is the bad cop. [=MacArthur=] lampshades it in Paris where she states she's going bad cop.
* GoodIsNotNice: [=MacArthur=] is a perfect example, as part of her "bad cop" shtick.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Although [=MacArthur=] admits that losing was embarrassing, they accept their defeat to the Surfer Dudes. Despite their loss, they can still take solace in beating out the Ice Dancers.]]
* GrewASpine: In "How Deep is your Love", Sanders finally gets tired of [=MacArthur=] treating her like a crash test dummy, and when [=MacArthur=] severely injures her, she firmly stands up for herself and takes charge of the team.
* HairTriggerTemper: [=MacArthur=] is very easy to anger.
** This was played with in "Mediterranean Homesick Blues" where she becomes aggressive in the space of a second.
** In "El Bunny Supremo" it's also revealed she was nicknamed "the Volcano" at the academy, for this very reason.
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:In "How Deep is Your Love", Sanders ends up paying the price for [=MacArthur=]'s recklessness, and breaks her arm after falling into the shaft. However, she chooses to stay in the race despite her injury, but makes it very clear that [=MacArthur=] must listen to her now.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: [=MacArthur=] loses her attraction to Brody after he gained weight, saying that her ideal man has to be fit. Sanders called her out on her DoubleStandard.
* JerkJock: Downplayed, [=MacArthur=] can come off as rude and mean due to her competitive nature, but deep down she still has a code of honor.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite [=MacArthur=]'s obnoxious nature, she still cares for her partner and will not abandon her. This is best shown in "How Deep is Your Love", [[spoiler:where [=MacArthur=]'s [[CompetitionFreak over competitive]] nature ends up getting Sanders' arm broken. [=MacArthur=] shows a lot of regret over her actions, and displays sympathy for Sanders for the first time, rather than viewing her like an asset as she usually does.]]
* KindheartedCatLover: [=MacArthur=] owns a cat...that she wanted to call ''through one allowed phone call'' over letting Sanders call her ''sick'' grandmother.
* TheLadette: [=MacArthur=] takes farting seriously and generally gets along with mostly males.
* LastNameBasis: The only contestants to be referred by their surnames. WordOfGod stated that they weren't given first names [[spoiler:but this was disproven by [=MacArthur=] revealing that her last name is an alias and her real name is Valentina Escobar. This makes [=MacArthur=] the 10th contestant in ''Total Drama'' history to have their full name revealed in canon.]]
* TheLoad: Played with. Because of her impulsiveness, [=MacArthur=] occasionally thinks of Sanders as one. However, Sanders is ''[[AvertedTrope far away]]'' from being a Load; it's just that [=MacArthur=] is so dominating that Sanders rarely ever has a chance to act for herself.
* ManipulativeBitch: [=MacArthur=] loves messing with people's minds -- a skill she attributes to psychology lessons at the academy.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [=MacArthur=] realizes how much of a jerk she is to Sanders after her brash negligence sends Sanders falling down a seven ''mile'' deep shaft. [[spoiler:Sanders broke her arm, and they came in last place. Fortunately, it was a non-elimination round, but Sanders is done with her antics, and won't let her step out of line anymore.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In "Bahamarama", [=MacArthur=] helps her mortal enemy Josee get out of the underwater cavern by sharing her oxygen. Once they're above ground, [[UngratefulBitch Josee throws a coconut at the Cadets]], knocking [=MacArthur=] down to slow them down.
* NoInsideVoice: [=MacArthur=] almost always yells. In "Ca-Noodling", after [=MacArthur=] scares the fish off with her voice, Sanders specifically points this out.
--> '''Sanders:''' Maybe you could try not yelling for once?
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: [=MacArthur=]'s attitude towards Sanders. She often carries her when she gets incapacitated or worn out. Sanders eventually returns the favor in "Bahamarama".
* TheNoseKnows: [=MacArthur=] was able to identify the type of cheese in the Parisian Catacombs and then find the exit by sniffing. She claims that she developed this ability in order to work border patrols.
* NotSoDifferent: Josee to [=MacArthur=]; both have an extremely devious streak and need their partners to hold them back at times.
* OldShame: InUniverse. Sanders' biggest regret was that a local burger restaurant forgot to charge her for some fries and she didn't go back to pay for them when she found out. Meanwhile, [=MacArthur=] has enough misdeeds to get her expelled from the academy.
* OneOfTheBoys: While riding on a cart being pulled by a gassy donkey, [=MacArthur=] laughs along with the Surfers and Rockers, while Sanders just seems annoyed.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In "Bahamarama", this is in part [=MacArthur=]'s reason for saving Josee. [[spoiler:The Cadets just barely beat out the Ice Dancers at the midpoint Chill Zone in the finale.]]
--> '''[=MacArthur=]''': ''(to Josee)'' If ''anything'' is going to take you out of this race, it's going to be ''me''.
* OnlySaneWoman: Sanders is usually one of the more level headed contestants. [[spoiler:This is especially true with the "Axis of Evil" alliance with the Ice Dancers and Daters.]]
* OverTheShoulderCarry: [=MacArthur=] frequently carries Sanders using this method. Sanders returns the favor in "Bahamarama" after [=MacArthur=] gets knocked over by [[UngratefulBitch Josee]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The reckless, aggressive [=MacArthur=] is the red, to the calmer, more rational Sanders' blue.
* RevengeBeforeReason: In "Little Bull on the Prairie", in order to get back at the Ice Dancers, [=MacArthur=] slams her pickup truck into theirs and sends all of them tumbling off a cliff, risking her own life as well as that of Sanders.
* RunningGag: [=MacArthur=] and glutes, whether her own or how other people (especially Sanders) need to use their's more.

* StraightMan: Sanders serves as this to the more wild, impulsive [=MacArthur=].

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** Both of them share characteristic from Brick, with the disciplined "cadet" stereotype, and the "[[NoOneGetsLeftBehind leave no man behind]]" attitude. "[=MacArthur=]" even sounds like Brick's surname, "[=McArthur=]".
** [=MacArthur=] is bossy, aggressively competitive, and surprisingly physically fit, exactly like Jo from ''Revenge of the Island'', with her treatment of Sanders mirroring how Jo treats Brick.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With the Ice Dancers during the "The Shawshank Ridonc-tion". [[spoiler:They then form a sketchy alliance in "Ca-noodling"]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [=MacArthur=] doesn't like letting go of anything bad that ever happened to her, so much that she still hasn't forgiven her babysitter for ''[[UpToEleven not feeding her dessert when she was six]]'', and has been actively plotting revenge since then. [[CanonWelding On a related note, said babysitter is called by her full name:]] [[WesternAnimation/SixTeen Jen Masterson]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler: For "Axis of Evil" along with Ryan]]
* TomboyishBaseballCap: [=MacArthur=] always wear one and she is the more Masculine of the two girls.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: [=MacArthur=] the Tomboy to Sanders' girly girl, although Sanders is more of a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.

* EnemyMine: They're initially bitter enemies who have been forced to work together against their will by their parents.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/StepBrothers Brennan Huff and Dale Doback]], albeit much younger.

* {{Tsundere}}: When things go right because they worked together (between insults), they can't bring themselves to accept the truth.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They become this by the time of "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", where they find out they're not so different after all and finally learn to get along.

* AlwaysCamp: Fashion is a stereotypically camp industry, and Tom and Jen do nothing to counter the stereotypes whilst doing a good deal to promote them.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jen, although she could just be tanned.
* AuthorAvatar: For the creators of ''Total Drama''; Tom [=McGillis=] and Jennifer Pertsch.
* CuteButCacophonic: Jen has a rather piercing scream; in "Bjorken Telephone", her screaming shatters a camera.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Sure, they lost, but both of them were able to strengthen their bonds after having a fall out about who's the main contributor to their blog in their elimination episode, Tom manages to make his NiceHat popular with Don, and Jen starts to support Tom a lot more after the gymnastic event.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Tom, particularly after seeing sharks in the south of France.
* SecurityCling: When they're crossing the sky deck.
* SkewedPriorities:
** In "French Is an Eiffel Language", they take their time shopping in Parisian clothing stores rather than rush the taxi driver to get the tire fixed.
** In "Bjorken Telephone", Jen was more concerned with her top than her safety while crossing the geyser field.
--->'''Jen:''' Geysers are hot water; this top is ''cold wash only''. Nobody told there would be real danger!
* {{Squee}}: Both of them give off a particularly [[CuteButCacophonic annoying]] one when learn that they was going to Paris.
* ValleyGirl: Jen speaks with this accent.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: Apparently they wrote their introduction themselves, which causes this reaction from Don.
* WorthIt: In "Mediterranean Homesick Blues", they get penalized because they came to Calanque de Maubois on a yacht instead of by train as instructed. However, they shrug it off, saying they got to party with the Prince of Monaco on a yacht and that Don's just jealous.

[[folder:Rock and Spud, Rockers]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spudandrock.JPG]]

--> ''Voiced by:'' Carlos Díaz (Rock) & Carter Hayden (Spud)

* AirGuitar:
** Rock often does this whenever they successfully complete a challenge.
** Spud's air guitar skills lands them first place in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".
* BerserkButton: Spud's laziness and incompetence could really get under Rock's skin sometimes. It inspired more frustration than outright anger, though.
* BigEater: Spud's mom describes him as a "light eater" - when the light comes on, he starts eating.
* BuffySpeak: Rock talks like this a lot, often using sound effects to describe his feelings at the moment.
* CharacterDevelopment: After [[spoiler: losing a non-elimination leg]], Spud realizes that he can't just put all the responsibility on Rock's shoulders and starts trying to be a better partner.
* CharacterTic: Rock strums an AirGuitar every time he completes a challenge.
* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler: Their air guitar skills earned them first place in Finland.]]
* CoolPet: Spud has a pet snake.
* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler: The double elimination that sent them home wasn't announced until ''after'' they had reached the Chill Zone and narrowly avoided last place.]]
* DelayedReaction: Rock is able to take full advantage of Spud's dimwittedness, as he knows ''exactly'' when pain will register.
** In "Brazilian Pain Forest", his hand gets bitten by several ants, and it takes him over ''two hours'' to realize the pain.
** Things become difficult for them in Finland, when Spud gets bitten by a seal while trying to cross an ice floe. The pain registered right as he was trapped in the middle of the water.
** In a non-painful example, Spud only screams in terror ''after'' the Daters nearly crash into his and Rock's jeep.
*** In the Rockers' confessional afterwards, Rock compliments Spud on his reaction time improving, and then is seen waiting a long time for Spud to reply. Spud eventually does after Rock's walked around the confessional booth, read part of a book, and drank half a glass of water.
** In "Down and Outback", Spud screams in terror that they're going to hit a mountain ''after'' their glider crashed into said mountain.
* {{Determinator}}: Rock practically ran the first third of the race on his own because Spud was too lazy to help out. It's taken to extremes in "Down and Outback", where Rock injures both his ankles and then proceeds to continue the challenge by dragging himself along the ground.
* TheDitz: Spud is gullible and can't refuse a dare, a weakness that the Cadets once exploited.
--> '''Spud:''' There's a lesson I've learned again and again: if something ''sounds'' like a bad idea, ''looks'' like a bad idea, and requires a dare to do it, it's gonna be ''craaazy!''
* EpicFail: Rock's attempt to motivate Spud with Choco Covered Oinkies in Beijing. [[spoiler: Spud steals and eats the whole box and then goes on a sugar rampage. They only survive the leg due to it being a non-elimination round.]]
* {{Expy}}: They're based off [[Franchise/TheViewAskewniverse Jay and Silent Bob]], particularly early on in the season where Spud rarely talked.
* FatAndSkinny: Rock is the Skinny to Spud's Fat.
* FartsOnFire: Spud does this during the air guitar challenge.
* {{Flat Character}}s: Initially played straight. For the first few episodes, Spud doesn't really do anything except bobbing his head to the music he's listening to until Rock drags him off, while Rock usually describes their situation or does air guitar solos. However, this is eventually subverted, as later episodes focus on the two improving their teamwork in order to win the competition.
* {{Foil}}: They are this to each other. Rock is very determined to succeed, but also very emotional and easily discouraged. On the flip side, Spud is laid back to a fault, but better at staying calm under pressure.
* HiddenDepths:
** Rock manages to carry the team despite Spud being a complete [[TheLoad Load]], showing more and more of these and giving the team impressive showing after impressive showing, starting around the mid-game.
** Spud knows all about snakes and what they ate which proves useful in "Down and Outback" after finding a snake that ate ''exactly'' 10 bunnies. He also provides Carrie with surprisingly accurate information about the [[FiveStagesOfGrief "Seven Stages of Heartbreak"]].
* {{Keet}}: Rock most of the time, and Spud when motivated or dared.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A guitar riff followed by a drum solo.
* TheLoad: Spud barely pays attention to the race and lets Rock do all the work, much to the latter's dismay. [[spoiler: This results in them consistently placing very low during the first half of the season, until they finally snag first place in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".]]
* MeaningfulName:
** Rock loves to rock out.
** Their team name being "The '''Rock'''ers" is mainly just a reference to them being metalheads, but it's also a [[{{foreshadowing}} hint]] about Rock essentially having to be a one-man team because of how lazy Spud is.
* {{Metal Head}}s: They front their own garage band, Devil Frog.
* MoodWhiplash: In "Down and Outback", [[spoiler:they thought they had beaten the Stepbrothers in finishing last, until Don revealed it was a double elimination episode and made them get eliminated as well]].
* OddFriendship: Chet & Lorenzo invite them over for videogames after [[spoiler:their double-elimination]] in "Down and Outback".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Spud's real name is not known.
* TheQuietOne: Spud almost never speaks, and when he does it's usually a word at a time.
* RedOniBlueOni: Rock is the red, Spud is the blue.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Spud gives off a high pitched shriek when a seal bites on his head.
* SimpletonVoice: Spud speaks as fast as he thinks... slowly.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Rock, according to the official reveal.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler: After their elimination, Rock talks about how proud he is of Spud for making it as far as they did in the race.]]
* SwappedRoles: [[spoiler: Rock gets injured early in "Down and Outback", forcing Spud to carry the team after spending most of the season being carried by Rock.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler: "I Wanna Ridonc and Roll", their only leg win.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: While Spud was never an outright {{Jerkass}}, he was very lazy and uncaring, even refusing to help in Iceland when Rock was begging him for assistance. Once his CharacterDevelopment kicked in, he became a lot more friendly in addition to being more willing to help.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Spud loves Choco Covered Oinkies; Rock used this as a motivator.
* UnderdogsNeverLose: [[spoiler: Subverted. Despite being the underdogs for their entire run, they get taken out at the halfway point of the season.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: They look like they're in their mid-twenties at least, but WordOfGod revealed on a Facebook post that they are both 18.

* {{Expy}}: Design wise, Miles may be one to [[Franchise/HarryPotter Professor Trelawney]].
* EyeGlasses: Miles's eyes take up her whole glasses, even when overlapping outside her head.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Played with. After their elimination, Don gingerly reports to the audience their flight crashed in an uncharted island full of cannibals, but according to FreshTV he was only joking. This is later affirmed in the finale, as both Vegan girls are in the peanut gallery.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: They love animals and nature. They have dedicated themselves to conservation of all wildlife, though sharks are now off their list.
* GranolaGirl: Don called them both granola-loving hippy-dippy Friends. In Morocco alone, they didn't ride the camel and chose to bike the scooter.

* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Laurie has to live with breaking her vegan principles of eating meat, gets her face swollen up after being bitten by ants, and repeatedly blamed by Miles.]]

* AerithAndBob: While Mary is a very common name, Ellody most certainly is not, though Élodie is quite common in Québec. In fact, with the exception of Ennui, Crimson, and Spud (who's names are insinuated to be nicknames) Ellody could be this to the majority of the cast.

* AnnoyingLaugh: In typical nerd fashion, they both snort when they laugh.

* DontExplainTheJoke: While having to get their next travel tip off the fin of a shark, Mary jokes that she used a magnet to 'scare' the sharks away ... and then her and Ellody go off on an educational rant about the science behind magnets in salt water and the electrical impulses of sharks. Eventually Don butts in and practically begs the editors to switch over to ''anything'' more interesting than this.
* {{Expy}}: Mary is one to [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Amy Farah Fowler]], mainly in terms of appearance and voice.
* EyeGlasses: Played straight with Mary; averted with Ellody.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Again, they're called "The Geniuses" for a reason.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** They seem to be non-psychopathic versions of Scarlett, especially Ellody.
** Ellody herself looks a bit like Courtney, and even shares her voice actress. She also seems to be the more uptight of the two.
* TechnoBabble: They have a habit of giving speeches full of long, complex words that no one else can understand.
* TeenGenius: They're literally labelled the "Geniuses".
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Accomplished next to nothing and were the third to go, not even receiving ADeathInTheLimelight like many other teams.]]
