Because he is now the new chairman, Courtney had been given so many perks unfair to the other players it's not even funny. He basically bought the network to make sure Courtney wins no problem, lest Chris, Chef, and the Interns suffer his wrath since he controls the paychecks. The corruption IS found out later, though, and Carter is paying DEARLY for it]].

* NeverMyFault: Courtney is quick to blame anything that goes wrong on everybody else, when it is usually HER fault to begin with.

* NotSoDifferent: Courtney makes this exchange with [[spoiler: Heather when the latter forcefully leaves the alliance. Courtney viciously points out that Heather is no different from her and would dare to call her out on her "vengeance". Heather doesn't deny that she was a horrible person, but at least she knew where to draw the line at]].

* OfficialCouple: Every canon and non-slash fanon pairing in the first series. With exception of [[spoiler: Tyler and Eva]], all other couples are still together.
* OhCrap: In "Search and Do Not Destroy", Andrew calmly says this when he accidentally wakes up a sleeping bear, where his key was leashed around its neck.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Courtney's entire strategy is basically to get revenge on those who 'wronged' her and make them all suffer.

* SavageWolves: A grown wolf attacks some of the campers due to Wolfo being with them. It was ''not'' Wolfo's parent, though... [[spoiler: and it came back after the Final Four]].

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Courtney abuses this HARD when she came back. She also makes sure to rub it in everyone else's faces.

* SmugSnake: Courtney. Justin as well.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Duncan, after he and Trent [[spoiler: witnessed that Gwen was being blackmailed by Courtney to help her win by voting off people she hates or else. Finding out the truth, Duncan formulates a plan with Trent, Gwen, and Geoff to get himself voted off so that he could make Courtney's reign of terror public. Courtney figured he'd be a threat if he stayed on. WRONG. He was an even BIGGER threat voted off. Several challenges, later, it all paid off as Crystal the lawyer appeared to give Courtney the boot whether she likes it or not]].

** Ezekiel of all people gives a ''major one'' to Courtney when she tried to attack him during the 'Hide and Be Sneaky' challenge, saying how pathetic she was to continue holding such a petty grudge for so long and making such a huge deal about it. She [[AxCrazy completely loses it]] afterward.

* TookALevelInBadass: Lindsay goes on a cursing rampage on Chef when he continuously talked down on Cody during the boot camp challenge.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Courtney didn't take to being eliminated first despite her team having good reason to, so she [[spoiler: had her father buy the network that plays the show]] so she'd be back in the competition, and if that weren't bad enough, she had also given herself numerous perks that gave her blatantly unfair advantage, all while saying it is "justified for how she was treated". She also spends most of her time trying to cause serious injury to Ezekiel over something that happened LONG ago. Courtney also [[spoiler: blackmailed Gwen and Heather into an alliance with her, threatening to destroy their lives if they refuse to help her win]].
* {{Trailers}}: Total Drama Action Tour, anyone?

* TVGenius: Marcus is able to invent anything out of anything. He once built a ''fusion generator'' for a high school project, which wound up taking out his school's gymnasium.
* VillainousBreakdown: Courtney after [[spoiler: an eliminated Duncan reported the corruption taking place in the show to Crystal, a lawyer. Crystal arrives on the island after the ''Hide and Be Sneaky'' challenge to reveal that Courtney's father is in DEEP trouble with the media law and had lost 80% of his fortune paying off the numerous lawsuits thrown at him by angry viewers and relatives of the eliminated contestants. Because her father broke a lawfully-written law in contract, Courtney is forcefully removed from the contest, ending her reign of terror. She goes into a rant after all her perks get taken away from her, but then Gwen [[LaserGuidedKarma socks it to her HARD]] for everything she's done to her and everyone else]].

* WhatTheHellHero: In "The Race To Boney Island", Leshawna [[spoiler: suggested to leave Laura behind on the island (which was filled with wild animals, BTW) in order to not just win invincibility, but to ensure that the team Heather is on to lose so she'd be voted off. Sara and Bridgette angrily call her out on this plan of potentially having Laura hurt or worse just to get someone voted off, and Leshawna simply waves it off. This doesn't work, anyway]].
** In "That's Off the Chain", Leshawna after hearing the elimination rule of the challenge, caused Heather to crash to ensure she'd get last place. However, since this was Chris and due to miscommunication, [[spoiler: she wound up getting Sara eliminated instead]], causing Leshawna to go [[HeroicBSOD catatonic]] over what she had done.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Sarah, Heather, Lindsay, Izzy, Katie, Sadie (ugh!).
* WickedCultured: Justin is this to a tee.
* WouldHitAGirl: Andrew may follow a code of "no hitting girls", but he's smart enough to know when to make exceptions. Throwing Courtney into a barrel of leeches for maliciously spitting on Bridgette certainly qualifies. He also shot her numerous times with a paintball gun.
** He also stated he wouldn't hesitate to [[spoiler: knock out Leshawna should she continue to rant about Heather]]. So far he only caused her to slam face-first onto the bottom of the canoe by pulling her down.

* YouGottaHavePurpleHair: Talia in TAAT has purple hair with white bangs.
* YuriFan: Izzy. She even [[spoiler:tried to play cupid for Laura and Sara]].
* ZombieApocalypse: The Dear Rising VR challenge in "Campers Rising".
