* CovertPervert: B shows signs of this, such as crafting a sail in the form of a gigantic pair of panties.
* FromBadToWorse: Thanks to her alliances with Scott and Chris, Eva goes from being a physical powerhouse capable of plowing through challenges with ease to being one who is also ''capable of manipulation and strategy''.
* HeelFaceTurn: Scott, thanks to his friendship with Katie and some kind words from Dawn, grows from being even more bitter and nasty than he was last season (due to the trauma chair incident) to becoming a genuinely nice person.
* MoralityPet: Cameron is this to Scott, as he is grateful for how Cameron sharing the prize money with everyone last season allowed him to get out of the trauma chair and replace the body parts he lost to Fang. Katie later develops into this as Scott starts to see her less as a pawn to manipulate and more of a genuine friend.

* CerebusSyndrome: After episode 15, things starts to pick up in terms of seriousness. Among other things, Mike starts becoming Mal, Eva's competitive nature and rivalry with Bridgette and Tyler increase the stakes, and Chris starts upping the drama even further when Blaineley manages to get demote him from the host to a contestant.
* CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler:Taco the mermaid.]] In fact, Chris says that even though she's a mythical creature she's much too sweet and peppy to truly be considered a monster.

* MisplacedRetribution:
** Dawn helps Fang realize that his vendetta against Scott is this, and she points that he should really be angry at Chris for transforming him into a monster.
** Tyler blames Dawn for getting Lindsay injured and voted off when it was actually the result of Mal's sabotage, causing a one-sided rivalry that prevents him from accepting her help against Eva.

The author managed to write out the pre-season special and three full episodes, but after that the fic stopped being updated due to the author losing interest in the ''Total Drama'' series. However, they did post a series of synopses covering the story, challenges, and elimination order for the remaining 28 episodes that had been planned, and what we've been given is quite intriguing.

''Total Drama Ocean'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' competition fic written by [=scubadivingmaui7=]. It is a fanmade fifth season with an aquatic theme.
After the latest between-season special of ''Total Drama'', Chris and Chef have taken 25 (later 26) of the contestants from the previous four seasons, as well as one brand new competitor, and brought them all aboard a shoddy pirate ship they fished out from the depths in order to take the cast across the Seven Seas and have them participate in nautical-themed challenges.

! Participating in this season are:

! Tropes that apply to this fanfic:
* AscendedExtra: Many of the series' more under-utilized characters receive large amounts of focus for the season, notably Bridgette, Tyler, Dawn, and Eva.
* BigBad: Scott for the first half of the season and then Eva in the second half.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Scott's strategy for the season. After realizing his TeamKiller idea last season would have ultimately screwed him over in the end, he's decided to pretend he's reformed in order to secretly get as many of the finalists of previous seasons out as soon as possible.
* TheBully: Eva relentlessly picks on Bridgette (for "backstabbing" her back in the first season) and Tyler (for being a terrible athlete) once she enters the game.
* ButtMonkey: Chris is far less of a KarmaHoudini this time, and frequently gets harmed and humiliated during challenges. In particular, he's now Fang's new favourite target.
* TheCameo: Many episodes give a cameo to one of the season's non-participating contestants.
* DemotedToExtra: Many of the series' biggest SpotlightStealingSquad members are hit by this. Owen, Heather, and Gwen are among the first eliminated in the competition, while Duncan and Courtney do not even participate in the season. Justified in-universe by Scott deliberately targeting them for elimination due to their ability to stay in the competition for long periods being seen as a threat by him.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Noah has a subplot of him repeatedly sighting one when all by himself.
* RunningGag: Chris being attacked by Fang, Trent's guitar almost being destroyed, and Izzy's quest for a boyfriend are just a few of these in the season.
* ShipTease: Scott/Katie, Brick/Leshawna, Izzy/Trent, Dawn/Nathaniel, and [[spoiler:Noah/Taco the mermaid]].
* VillainousBSoD: Alejandro suffers from this for most of the season, due to still being in the robot suit and believing it to be punishment for his actions in ''World Tour''.
