* MirrorCharacter: To Bridgette and DJ as the kindhearted nature lover, even taking DJ's spot on the log in the opening. However, while Bridgette and DJ are generally well-liked by their peers, Dawn comes off as a CreepyChild who many campers are disturbed by. In addition, while all three are {{All Loving Hero}}es, Dawn takes it the furthest of all by being TheEmpath who tries her hardest to see the good in people. Also specifically to DJ, while both are {{Animal Lover}}s and attached to animals, for DJ it tends to [[AnimalsHateHim not be mutual]] and [[ButtMonkey constantly gets attacked]], while with Dawn she is TheBeastmaster with [[FriendToAllLivingThings animals assisting her whenever they can]]. And specifically to Bridgette, Dawn stands out as being one of the series' strangest characters with her supernatural powers and CreepyChild characterization while Bridgette is one of the most normal characters with her CloserToEarth OnlySaneWoman nature.

* He's pretty similar to Alejandro, as they were the primary antagonists of their respective competitive debuts, got karmic fates that involve bodily harm, and have their mechanical transformations from their severe injuries, where each of them would eventually be healed in ''All-Stars''.
* In ''All-Stars'', Scott displaces Tyler as the series' IronButtMonkey.

* LackOfEmpathy: Scott is easily one of the cruelest villains in Total Drama history, especially when he bullies others in such a vicious and sadistic manner.

* MirrorCharacter: In ''All-Stars'', Scott displaces Tyler as the series' IronButtMonkey.

** In "Sundae Muddy Sundae", he can't put chocolate syrup on his sundae, so he puts dirt on it instead. And he enjoys it.

* BigBadWannabe: In ''All-Stars'', he thinks he's the only real villain left after everyone who usually causes conflicts have been eliminated, but he isn't aware that Mal is the one pulling the strings under his disguise as Mike, and Scott ends up being his biggest victim in "The Bold and the Booty-Ful". He doesn't even act villainous in any waywhen he gets eliminated by Zoey at the end of the episode, instead warning her about taking "Mike" to the final with her.

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

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/{{Survivor}} Benjamin "Coach" Wade]], who was known for telling silly stories.

BigBadEnsemble: With Lightning in ''Revenge of the Island''. Scott is the ArcVillain throughout most of the season until he’s eliminated in "Eat Puke and Be Wary". With Scott becoming a DiscOneFinalBoss, Lightning takes over the villain role for the final two episodes.

* BigBad: Of ''Revenge of the Island''.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: "Backstabbers Ahoy!" centers around Dawn and how she discovers Scott's true nature, before her failure to take him down ends [[spoiler:in her elimination]].

* UncertainDoom: Is last seen floating into the atmosphere in a balloon full of Owen's farts.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Both episodes where he shows his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass traits ("Runaway Model" and "Food Fright") end with his departure.

* OnlySaneMan: Downplayed but in a team that has a GadgeteerGenius who can't talk, a Moonchild who has displayed some CreepyChild tendencies, a rich, spoiled, [[AttentionWhore attention-seeking]] DaddysGirl, a DumbJock with an IQ that could rival Lindsay's, a girl who constantly lies about her ancestors and a [[TeamKiller team killing]] JerkAss, Sam seems to be the most normal of the Toxic Rats.

* UncertainDoom: Is last seen floating into the atmosphere in a balloon full of Owen's farts.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The cunning, [[{{Schemer}} scheming]], [[TeamKiller challenge throwing]] Scott vanishes after "Evil Dread", in favor of a [[TookALevelInDumbass moronic]], [[NoSocialSkills socially clueless]] FarmBoy who serves as PluckyComicRelief and the resident [[IronButtMonkey pain magnet]].

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Scott distances himself from the {{Big Bad}}s of the previous seasons with his strategy of [[TeamKiller throwing challenges]] to [[UnfriendlyFire vote off his team mates]]. He's also the only BigBad to date who never formed any sort of alliance in the season where he was the main villain.

* {{Expy}}: Of Russell Hantz from ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', due to his willingness to [[TeamKiller screw over his own team]] (especially those he feels have crossed him or he just plain dislikes), how he hunts for and easily finds the hidden immunity idol, and both were on the Villains Team in their second season. Much like Russell, he is also beaten by his own arrogance, and denied the finale ''twice''.

* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: [[TeamKiller More so]] than Heather, and that's saying something. However, [[TookALevelInKindness he tries to make nice]] in ''All-Stars''.

* {{Jerkass}}: He often resorted to [[TeamKiller eliminating his own teammates]] to get ahead. He gets better in ''All-Stars'', where he acts [[TookALevelInKindness far less nasty]] and actually becomes a team player.

* TheMillstone: Scott often deliberately {{invoke|d Trope}}s this as part of his TeamKiller strategy.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He is the manly man (a tough and aggressive [[TeamKiller team killing]] Jerkass whose seen beating up rats in his audition tape) to Mike's sensitive guy (a scrawny and [[ShrinkingViolet timid]] NiceGuy with a gap between his teeth).

* SixthRangerTraitor: After changing to the Mutant Maggots, where he once again resorts to [[TeamKiller Team Killing]].

* TeamKiller: Scott's strategy in ''Revenge of the Island'' is to deliberately sabotage his own team so he controls the eliminations. He stops this in ''All-Stars'' for obvious reasons, although he considered doing so in "Evil Dread".
** In "Truth or Laser Shark", he slows down his team by petting the mutant rat instead of handing it off to B. It worked, but B wasn't eliminated. Instead, Dakota spent too much time putting on makeup and cost her team the challenge, so she got eliminated.
** In "Ice, Ice, Baby", he melts his own team's fort to frame B for sabotage and gets him eliminated.
** In "Backstabbers Ahoy!", he shoots Sam in the back, causing him to pass out and crash their team's boat. He then frames Dawn for stealing the campers' possessions and gets her eliminated.

* ThrowingTheFight: Part of his team-killing strategy.
** However, this is subverted in "Finders Creepers" when Sam wins the challenge, despite being bound to Scott.
** Subverted again in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing To Waste" [[spoiler:when he threw away the statue they are supposed to find, unaware that the statue landed in Anne Maria's hair which wins them the challenge once they leave the mine.]]

* UncertainDoom: Is last seen floating into the atmosphere in a balloon full of Owen's farts.
* UnfriendlyFire: His central strategy in ''Revenge of the Island'' where he'd spend the first half of his season [[TeamKiller throwing challenges]] and picking off any teammates that served as potential threats.

* VillainDecay: A {{Jerkass}} in ''Revenge'', but relegated to [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] status in ''All-Stars''. Scott also no longer schemes against the other competitors, instead seems to be content with competing fair and square. Justified because his [[TeamKiller old strategy]] wouldn't be very practical to use twice.
