6* OddlySmallOrganization: The number of people working as the staff never goes above the double digits in any of the seasons. The beta has whopping ''two'' staff members, the host and Jensen, which then becomes three with Derek and Trevor taking over for Jared in Season 1. Season 2 begins with Kristal, Marcus and Nina alone before Oliver joins them, bringing it up to four. All-Stars has the biggest staff crew so far, with Kristal, Oliver, Marcus, Nina, newcomer Emily, and a returning Trevor and Derek, but that's still only seven people in total.

11[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jared_johnson.png]]
12->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Horowitz (English), Luis Burciaga (Spanish)
13----
14* AdaptedOut: He's replaced by Derek and Trevor in the remastered version of Season 1. [[JustifiedTrope Likely in order to avoid lawsuits]] from {{Creator/FreshTV}} for his connection to [[Characters/TotalDramaHosts Chris McLean]].
15* AffablyEvil: Jared looks like a perfectly nice guy at first glance, but the finale reveals that he's a kidnapper who's willing to ''kill'' his captive once the show's over.
16* AlliterativeName: '''J'''ared '''J'''ohnson.
17* AndThenWhat: He, with Jensen's help, kidnaps Chris, uses his money to host a bogus competition, and plans to get rid of him once it all ends. There's no discussion over what he'll do after that, however, considering the authorities would definitely be on the hunt for him due to Chris' popularity.
18* ConnectedAllAlong: The first part of the finale reveals he used to work as an intern for Chris [=McLean=]. His {{Revenge}} plot in general connected the story to ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''.
19* DarkAndTroubledPast: The first part of the finale reveals that he was fired by Chris merely because the host didn't like his coffee. Jared tried to protest because he needed the money to pay for his mother's medication, but to no avail. As such, he swore that Chris [=McLean=] will regret it should anything happen to her. Given that he went along with his {{Revenge}} plot in the end, he likely lost his mother.
20* DisproportionateRetribution: He was fired from being an intern by Chris because the host didn't like the coffee Jared made for him.
21* DownerEnding: He got fired over a petty reason, which ended with him not having enough money for his mother's medication and the implication that she died off-screen. At the end of the season, he got sentenced for 30 years for his {{Revenge}} against Chris [=McLean=], unlike his partner in crime who got to be a KarmaHoudini.
22* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The reason he became an intern for Chris was because he needed money to pay for his mother's medication, and when Chris fired him, it's implied she passed away, which caused Jared to crack and seek revenge on the TV show host.
23* EvilAllAlong: The finale eventually reveals that Jared actually kidnapped Chris with help from Jensen, used his money to create the competition, and was planning to get rid of him once the competition was over.
24* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was originally a lowly intern working under Chris [=McLean=], only to eventually kidnap him and become a TV show host using Chris' own money to fund it.
25* HealthcareMotivation: The reason he took up the job as intern for Chris was because he needed the money to pay for his mother's medication. Chris firing and depriving him of the way to get them led to his mother dying, and alongside Chris acting like an apathetic jerk about it, causes Jared to lose his marbles and make a plan to kidnap him.
26* TheIntern: This was his job back when he worked for Chris, only to be fired by him when he didn't like the coffee he gave him.
27* JerkassToOne: He treats mostly everyone with an air of decency and affability, but holds nothing but contempt for Chris [=McLean=].
28* LaserGuidedKarma: He's sentenced for 30 years in prison for his {{Revenge}} plot against Chris [=McLean=].
29* MommasBoy: He took Chris' abuse, and the job of an intern, to pay for his mother's medication, and losing her not only devastated Jared, but made him swear revenge against Chris himself.
30* NonActionBigBad: He's the main antagonist of Adventure Camp, being not only the main showrunner but having also kidnapped Chris [=McLean=] and used his money to finance the show, but unlike Jensen, he has no combat skills whatsoever, meaning the police manage to arrest him with ease once they show up to deal with him and Jensen.
31* PayEvilUntoEvil: He kidnapped Chris, stole his identity and money, and intended to get rid of him once the show was over.
32* {{Revenge}}: With the help of Jensen, he kidnapped Chris [=McLean=], stole his identity and part of his money in order to finance the show, planning to get rid of him afterwards.
33* RevengeBeforeReason: His plan to get revenge on Chris for firing him involves kidnapping him, stealing his identity, and using his money to host a Fake competition, all without considering what he was supposed to do once the authorities eventually came looking for him.
34* SpannerInTheWorks: By revealing her confessional, Jared exposed Fiore's true nature to everyone, which the remaining contestants would otherwise struggle to find out given her VillainsBlendInBetter.
35* ThisIsUnforgivable: Chris firing him over coffee, depriving him of the money needed for his mother's medication, is something that Jared is so irate about he willingly kidnaps Chris and uses his money to host a false competition just to spite him.
36* TragicVillain: He only became a villain because his mother died after he didn't have enough money for her medication following being fired by Chris [=McLean=] for a petty reason. He's not even that much of a {{Sadist}} compared to later hosts of the series (Trevor excluded) and he was outright malicious only towards Chris [=McLean=].
37* YouGetMeCoffee: This is actually the reason why he was fired in the first place; Chris ordered him to get him coffee, but he disliked it so much that he outright fired him over it, even after Jared begged him to let him stay.

45->'''Label:''' The Bad Host
46
47Derek is one of the hosts of our favorite campsite! He will certainly make sure that no one gets bored at the camp... and of course he has no plans to make anything easier because we know from unknown sources that he loves masochists. Who doesn't like his sarcastic sense of humor? The contestants in Disventure Camp are clueless!
48
49----
50* AmbiguouslyBi: Trevor was [[WordOfGay confirmed]] to be bisexual during the Pride Month 2023 announcement of the show's creators, but whether Derek is likewise bisexual or not is currently unknown, as the image that confirms the sexual orientations of most of the show's characters have Derek wear a flower necklace with the bisexual flag's colors, but his annoyed expression can give the impression that he merely wears it to support Trevor who enthusiastically holds a bisexual flag.
51* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: According to [[spoiler:Episode 11, he and Trevor have been killing animals, which shows how evil they are (especially to [[AnimalLover Gabby]]) and it clearly isn't meant to be [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty funny]]]].
52* CanonForeigner: He isn't present in the first version of Season 1, and he and Trevor replace Jared Johnson as the hosts of the remake.
53* CardCarryingVillain: In Episode 11, Derek (a {{Sadist}} who participates in a criminal business) happily suggests he views himself as a villain when stating he and Trevor "aren't complete monsters".
54* TheCorruptor: To Kristal, starting in "The Turbulent Triathlon", trying to get her to return to her old sadistic ways after being disappointed in how Kristal has been softened thanks to Oliver's influence.
55* DeadpanSnarker: He is prone to making really sarcastic comments about the challenges and contestants.
56* DecompositeCharacter: Derek and Trevor are essentially the original host, Jared, split in two, with Derek taking over his last name, criminal connections and malicious side of his personality.
57* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:In universe, as he is now an intern instead of a host by the time of All-Stars.]]
58* DidntThinkThisThrough: In Episode 3 of ''All-Stars'', Derek suggests to add eels and sharks to the underwater challenge...while he and Trevor are the interns this season, meaning they'll be the ones to test it. Emily and Kristal laugh at him for this while Trevor calls him out on it.
59* DoomedByCanon: Derek and Trevor are indirectly mentioned in Season 2 as their unsavory behavior being the reason the show stopped airing for one year before Kristal took up the host position, which means that whatever happens in Season 1, they're not sticking around past it. [[spoiler:The epilogue of the season 1 remake shows that both of them were arrested, leading Kristal to take over as host]].
60* GreaterScopeVillain: As the showrunners who double as [[spoiler:animal serial killers and criminals]], he and Derek are the main antagonists of the first season in theory, but the VillainTeamUp between [[spoiler:Alec, Fiore, and Grett]] serve as the main drivers of conflict among the campers.
61* LaserGuidedKarma:
62** [[spoiler:He's arrested at the end of Season 1 for [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals killing multiple animals]].]]
63** In the third episode of ''All-Stars'', Derek sadistically suggests to add sharks and eels to the challenge. However, while doing so, he apparently forgot he's one of the interns and thus has to test the challenge.
64* MomentKiller: While apparently accidental, Derek interrupts a romantic moment between Tom and Jake when he tells the contestants a challenge will start.
65* MrExposition: As one of the hosts of ''Disventure Camp'', part of his job is to explain how challenges work.
66* NonActionBigBad: Since they're not contestants, the campers never directly confront him and Trevor during any of the challenges, and [[spoiler:Tom was sent to investigate them and their criminal connections with Jensen]].
67* PetTheDog: Despite his [[{{Sadist}} less-than stellar]] traits, Derek tells [[spoiler:Miriam after she wins that her prize money is "well-earned" when giving it to her]].
68* {{Sadist}}: Unlike [[AffablyEvil Trevor]], Derek is a more typical host of the show who revels in the contestants' misery and pain.
69* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:During the water fight challenge, Derek only lets the Purple Team to fight with wooden sticks or with their fists while the Teal Team can use jousting sticks, but once Lill uses Gabby's jousting stick to knock her off the platform and win a point, Derek lets the Purple Team keep the point despite Dan's protests because it must have hurt.]]
70* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Trevor's Sensitive Guy.
71* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:By showing the voting confessionals in Episode 8, Derek reveals the BigBadEnsemble trio's strategy, which the remaining contestants would struggle to figure out for the time being otherwise]].
72* ThoseTwoGuys: It's extremely rare for Derek and Trevor to be seen apart from each other, and even rarer to see one of them alone without the other one showing up soon after.
73* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When he realizes he's going to be arrested for his [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal cruelty]], Derek starts losing it and pulls out a gun. However, he calms down after [[AnimalLover Gabby]] punches him]].
74* VocalDissonance: Derek has a surprisingly high, teenage like voice for a man who's 29.

82->'''Label:''' The Good Host
83
84Trevor is the second and nicer host! He cares about our participants or at least tries to give that impression. More sensitive and less sadistic but is that better or worse? Hmmm... You'll have to check it out for yourselves by watching Disventure Camp!
85
86----
87* AffablyEvil: Trevor is complicit in the criminal business he and Derek have created but his friendliness seems genuine. He's also considerably kinder than [[{{Sadist}} Derek]] and tries to keep him in line when he leans into being a cruel host. It's even suggested in ''All-Stars'' that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he feels guilty]] about [[spoiler:[[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals killing multiple animals]]]], unlike Derek who doesn't show any remorse for it. He also seems to find [[spoiler:Riya voting off Connor behind his back]] repulsive and seems to genuinely care for Derek.
88* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: According to [[spoiler:Episode 11, he and Derek have been killing animals, which shows how evil they are (especially to [[AnimalLover Gabby]]) and it clearly isn't meant to be [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty funny]]]].
89* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite Trevor's bubbly and silly personality, he's still participating in [[spoiler:the killing of animals around the camp.]]
90* ButtMonkey: Becomes this in ''All-Stars'', something that gets more noticeable starting on "Strike a Chord": he feels isolated since Derek and Kristal are spending more time together, he tries to sing a song only for Derek to interrupt him and call him a bad singer, and after [[spoiler:the Yellow Team causes the lights to catch fire and destroy the stage]] he's the one forced to clean the mess up alongside [[spoiler:the eliminated contestant]], with Derek rubbing it in his face when he tries to ask why he's the only one cleaning up. Later in "Ball Busters" he is the one tasked with testing that episode's challenge, and is the one that has to carry Riya's ball after she finds a free pass. Kristal even uses money from his paycheck in "Give Me Some Space!" to buy a ship for a challenge.
91* CanonForeigner: He isn't present in the first version of Season 1, and he and Derek replace Jared Johnson as the hosts of the remake.
92* CaptivityHarmonica: Play a harmonica while [[spoiler:in prison]], seemingly to pass time.
93* CardCarryingVillain: In Episode 11, when Derek happily suggests he views himself as a villain, it becomes implied that Trevor views himself the same way since he smiles when Derek says this and doesn't try to protest.
94* DecompositeCharacter: Trevor and Derek are essentially the original host, Jared, split in two, with Trevor taking over his [[AffablyEvil apparently friendly nature]].
95* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:In universe, as he is now an intern instead of a host by the time of All-Stars.]]
96* DepravedBisexual: Trevor was confirmed to be bisexual and together with Derek (who he's later revealed to be in love with), [[spoiler:they have been killing the animal life of Camp Tipiskaw.]]
97* DoomedByCanon: Trevor and Derek are indirectly mentioned in Season 2 as their unsavory behavior being the reason the show stopped airing for one year before Kristal took up the host position, which means that whatever happens in Season 1, they're not sticking around past it. [[spoiler:The epilogue of the season 1 remake shows that both of them were arrested, leading Kristal to take over as host]].
98* DreadfulMusician: Especially to Derek, Trevor has a painfully bad singing voice, as shown in the sixth episode of ''All-Stars''.
99* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he did [[spoiler:[[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals play a part in killing many animals]]]], Trevor genuinely cares for Derek. He also suggests in "Give Me Some Space!" that he enjoyed working with him in season one.
100* FearOfThunder: Despite usually not being scared, it's later suggested that Trevor is terrified of thunder; he hides behind Derek in fear when he hears some in Episode 10.
101* GenkiGuy: Trevor can be this at times, being very energetic and positive.
102* GreaterScopeVillain: As the showrunners who double as [[spoiler:animal serial killers and criminals]], he and Derek are the main antagonists of the first season in theory, but the VillainTeamUp between [[spoiler:Alec, Fiore, and Grett]] serve as the main drivers of conflict among the campers.
103* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He's arrested at the end of Season 1 for [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals killing multiple animals]].]]
104* MrExposition: As one of the hosts of ''Disventure Camp'', part of his job is to explain how challenges work.
105* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The second episode of ''All-Stars'' suggests Trevor feels terrible about [[spoiler:[[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals killing many animals]] in the remake of season one]]; while working on a challenge that involved helping animals, he states it'll help him "ease [his] conscience a little" and looks sad as he says that.
106* NonActionBigBad: Since they're not contestants, the campers never directly confront him and Derek during any of the challenges, and [[spoiler:Tom was sent to investigate them and their criminal connections with Jensen]].
107* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Derek's Manly Man.
108* ThoseTwoGuys: It's extremely rare for Trevor and Derek to be seen apart from each other, and even rarer to see one of them alone without the other one showing up soon after.
109* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:While being arrested, Trevor tries to beg Miriam to use her winnings to bail him and Derek out of jail. Of course, she shuts this down immediately.]]

119
120Sometimes looks can deceive, but is that the case with him? Unfortunately, you won't have a nice chat with him. What we know about him is that he is quite scary, intelligent and. dangerous. So what do you think, would you like to buddy up with him?
121
122----
123* AdaptationalCurves: He is a lot stronger and brawny than in the original version of the first season.
124* AdaptationalVillainy: His beta self [[spoiler:kidnapped Chris [=McLean=]]], which is pretty bad, but the remake makes him complicit in [[spoiler:killing animals around the camp to make the show safer to film]], which puts actual blood in his hands.
125* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He's the one tasked with [[spoiler:kidnapping Chris [=McLean=]]] in the beta and [[spoiler:killing forest animals to make recording the show safer]] in the remaster of Season 1.
126* TheBadGuyWins: At least in the beta version of Season 1. [[spoiler:He flees away from the police with either winner's prize money and is never caught.]] Downplayed in the remastered version where he [[spoiler:still manages to run away from the law, but this time the prize money is successfully taken away from him.]]
127* KarmaHoudini: In the original Adventure Camp, he [[spoiler:flees from the police on a bus with either winner's money prize and is never seen getting caught. While Tom manages to take the prize money back in the remake, his final fate is left unknown]].
128* MomentKiller: Subverted. He interrupts a kiss between Gabby and Ellie when he [[spoiler:arrives on the Bus of Losers to pick up the former]] (though it didn't seem intentional). However, they soon kiss anyway.
129* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:He drives the bus off a cliff during his escape from the police. Though Tom survived this by jumping off right before the bus went over, there is no mention of what happened to Jensen, and Oliver confirms to Kristal that they never found his body.]]
130* PerpetualFrowner: Jensen has an outright permanent scowl on his face at almost all times. The only times in which he smiles are [[spoiler:when he watches the news about the aftermath of ''Disventure Camp'' while hiding from the police in the beta and when he exposes Tom for being a spy in the remake]].
131* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:In the remake it's stated that following him driving the Bus of Losers off a cliff after attempting to run away from the law, [[NeverFoundTheBody his body was never found]], and nobody knows what became of him]].
132* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His whereabouts by the time of the second season is completely unknown in both versions of Season 1. [[spoiler:In the remake epilogue, Oliver tells Kristal [[NeverFoundTheBody that his body was never found]].]]

141->'''Voiced by:''' Noemy Cyrman (Spanish), Poulette Aref (English)
142->'''Label:''' The New Host
143
144Kristal is the daughter of [[Characters/TotalDramaHosts one of the most famous reality TV hosts of our time]] and always has been in his shadow, even if they don't have the best relationship. ''Disventure Camp'' will be Kristal's first appearance on TV, and she wants to break the legacy of her father and host in a different way.
145----
146* AbusiveParents: Her father is [[Characters/TotalDramaHosts Chris McLean]], that's self-explanatory. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that while she knew he was her father, his involvement in her life was minimal due to his job and all she had to know him by was her mom and TV.
147* BadBoss: She only treats Oliver slightly better than her father did his interns; she has him work overnight on challenges, yells at him when she gets frustrated, and tends to ignore his advice or attempts to rein her in, despite that being the reason she hired him in the first place. [[spoiler:This eventually leads to her firing Oliver, leaving Kristal to do the handywork herself and come to realize how much she needed him in the first place]].
148* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Her version of the typical shirt worn by ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama]]'''s host and interns is a more feminine one also worn by [[Characters/TotalDramaToxicRats Dakota]] from that show.
149* BigShutUp: She yells at Lake to shut up when [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext she refuses to take off her wig for the Queen challenge]]]].
150* DidntThinkThisThrough: In a moment of frustration against Oliver, [[spoiler:she fires him on the spot, even though he's been in charge of creating the challenges for the contestants. Since Marcus and Nina are too busy with the bus, Kristal is forced to make the challenges herself, and it doesn't take long for her to realize she needs Oliver back ASAP]].
151* DoomItYourself: [[spoiler:Kristal brushes off Oliver’s claims of how hard his job is and how unfair the treatment and workload she gives him is, but once he quits and it’s on her to build the challenges, she has to feel the workload herself. However, she proves to be an absolutely '''terrible''' handywoman when everything ends up breaking in the next challenge; the dodgeball runs out of air, one of the platforms collapses, and her ball turret ends up stalling and firing haphazardly. By the next episode where she can’t even get the go-karts for a planned challenge to work, she’s forced to admit that she underestimated how hard the job was.]]
152* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kristal has her own streak of sadism and, being a host, it's practically her job to put the contestants through the wringer in order to get the most ratings, but after Season 2 she's comes to see Oliver as a genuine friend and values his opinion.
153* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite her cruelty, she initially doesn't want to end up going as low as her father did back when he hosted the show. This can be seen when, after making a mean comment regarding Oliver's mistake at the relay race, she comments how it sounded like something her father would say, and seems to regret it a bit before ignoring it.
154* EvilIsBigger: Easily the tallest member of the production crew of Season 2, and without Oliver around to rein her in, she proves to be just as sadistic as the typical host.
155* EvilIsSterile: {{Downplayed}}. Of the first few challenges of Season 2, the relay race is the only one with notable creativity to it. Episode 2's challenge is a slightly tamer Awake-A-Thon, episode 3's challenge involves the contestants kissing, episode 4's challlenge is a simple trivia quiz, and episode 5's challenge was gonna be a talent show before Kristal said "screw it" and turned it into the Queen's Game, with her as the queen.
156* ExhaustedEyeBags: One of the signs that trying to be nicer as per Oliver's request is taking a toll on her are her getting some notable eyebags, which become quite notable by episode 10 of Season 2.
157* FamilyThemeNaming: Her name is '''Kris'''tal and she's the daughter of '''Chris''' [=McLean=].
158* GenerationXerox: Just like her father before her, Kristal works as a sadistic TV show host who puts her contestants through dangerous challenges. Though to Kristal's credit, she has enough self-awareness to recognize the trope and hure Oliver to try to rein her in. Keyword being try.
159* HatesTheirParent: Let's just say her father and she don't exactly see eye-to-eye. In fact, her difficult relationship with her father is [[spoiler:what allows her and Lake to bond to an extent]].
160* HazyFeelTurn: Her treatment of Oliver and Marcus is considerably better in All Stars but she is still a big sadist willing to do anything for the ratings not caring about the campers safety.
161* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: The best example, having the most voluptuous body out of all the girls with slim physiques which is more visible when she wears her bikini.
162* LackOfEmpathy: Just like her father, Kristal isn't the most empathetic person with the contestants, though she at least has Oliver around to keep her in check and not go overboard. For just one example, the Queen's game has her take away Riya's perfume, her most valuable object, while she has Ally, Lake, and Tess burn her gaming consoles, books, and ''medication'' respectively.
163* LikeParentLikeChild: Both her and her father have hosted reality shows, are arrogant, have ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem moments, and possess {{sadist}}ic streaks.
164* MissingMom: We all know who her father is, but her mother doesn't get a single mention. When [[spoiler:Lake]] asks about her, Kristal simply says that her father never told her anything about her mother.
165* MsExposition: As the hostess of the show, Kristal's job is to inform the campers about the episode's challenge, how it works, and what they have to do to win.
166* MsFanservice: She's a busty and leggy voluptuous woman who exposes her cleavage, bares her midriff, wears a short skirt, a bikini in two episodes, and a rather revealing short dress in the finale.
167* NeverMyFault: Much like her father, Kristal would sooner deflect blame onto someone else than admit to her own mistakes and cruelty. [[spoiler:Even when it became apparent that she couldn’t build challenges on her own the way Oliver could, she initially refused to go out and apologize to him or hire a new intern because doing so would mean admitting that Oliver was right to call her out. It takes Marcus and Nina confronting her and Marcus telling her that there’s no shame in admitting when we’ve messed up for her to finally swallow her pride and go out to look for Oliver.]]
168* OddFriendship: A rather subtle one, but she develops one with [[spoiler:Lake, an initially timid contestant who's nothing like her, after their heart-to-heart conversation about their problems with their parents. Made even more ironic, given that Lake was the one who delivered TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her during the Queen challenge, triggering the hostess to end it]].
169* PetTheDog: She has her moments of displaying a heart underneath her sadism, which later gets lampshaded.
170** [[spoiler:Lets Oliver stay on the show as an intern after his elimination and eventually acknowledges his worth and apologizes for treating him badly, even promoting him to challenge supervisor for the next season.]]
171** [[spoiler:After a heart-to-heart conversation with Lake about their problems with their parents, she refuses to let Lake leave the show per the demands of the latter's father]].
172* PragmaticVillainy: In the second episode of ''All-Stars'', she helps repopulate a forest. However, this seemed to be more because she wanted to reduce the chances of her getting in trouble with the law should the camp be inspected rather than [[PetTheDog kindness]].
173* {{Sadist}}: She enjoys others' sufferings. Her sadism is sometimes even on par with her father, [[Characters/TotalDramaHosts Chris McLean]], much to her dismay.
174* SanitySlippage: She knows about how sadistic her father became, so she has her intern let her know when to be rational towards the campers. [[spoiler: However, she starts to ignore her plan and becomes sadistic and ratings hungry like her father. This comes to a head when Oliver gives her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and quits, and the next episodes give her a big dose of humble pie when she’s forced to see how hard an intern's job really is under her employ]].
175* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: She manages to convince the nun watching over Fiore to let her join the jet by giving her a wad of cash.
176* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Not as often as her father, but she still has her moments. Examples include announcing a double elimination last-minute in Episode 3 for no real reason, [[spoiler:letting Hunter win in Episode 7 even though Lake had completed the challenge before him even if her ring fell off quickly afterwards, and deciding that Hunter wins in Episode 9 for being the only person to cross the finish line, ignoring the fact that he lost his partner along the way and accidentally got his blindfold taken off]].
177* SchrodingersCanon: She was the biological daughter of Chris [=McLean=] in the show before every explicit influence from ''Total Drama'' was removed, but nothing indicates this is no longer the case.
178* TookALevelInKindness: Part of her arc in Season 2 involves becoming nicer to Oliver, the one character she tasked to keep her in line, and [[spoiler:after firing him for a while and coming to realize how much she actually needs him, not only does she swallow her pride and apologizes to him, but even makes him the challenge supervisor for the next season]].
179* WomenAreWiser: PlayedWith. On the one hand, Kristal can be every bit as sadistic and impulsive as the previous hosts on this show. On the other hand, she's not only ''aware'' of this, but even asks Oliver to act as a MoralityChain to her in order to keep her line.

190Marcus is a man of few words, often letting his puppet Nina do most of the talking. And while Nina is a puppet, she often seems to have a mind of her own, and a rather sadistic one at that…
191----
192* AmbiguousSituation: Though she looks at first like a ventriloquist puppet, Nina can be seen talking and moving on her own even when Marcus isn't around. Whether she's a DemonicDummy or maybe a highly advanced robot controlled by someone is currently unknown.
193* BerserkButton: Don't take Nina without Marcus's permission. He'll threaten to take off your fingers if you do so.
194* BigOlUnibrow: Marcus is the only character with a unibrow, quite big at that.
195* BrattyHalfPint: Nina, Marcus' puppet, has a lot of rude comments to say to everyone, and enjoys being a sadist.
196* CoolShades: Marcus wears them all the time. Might overlap with SinisterShades since they add to the somewhat unnerving mysteriousness of his character.
197* CreepyDoll: Nina looks rather uncanny, especially when she talks and walks on her own without Marcus around.
198* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 8 gives them a lot of focus as the two host the challenge.
199* DemonicDummy: Basically Nina's stereotype.
200* DemotedToExtra: While initially set up as the co-host of the show, Marcus (and Nina as well as a result) gets less screentime the moment [[spoiler:Oliver becomes an intern]] since their roles are mostly interchangeable, except for Marcus also driving the bus. This becomes noticeable when Marcus and Nina get the aforementioned ADayInTheLimelight in one of the episodes during which [[spoiler:Oliver is missing]].
201* GoodAllAlong: Downplayed as she isn’t exactly Good per say but [[spoiler: Nina isn’t actually interested in murdering the campers despite what the Killer Challenge implied]]. Marcus is especially rather affable, provided that his BerserkButton isn't pressed.
202* GoodHairEvilHair: Has a long and curly beard with a mustache which adds to the mysteriousness and untrustworthiness of his character.
203* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's left ambiguous whether Nina is a DemonicDummy or just some sort of advanced AI/robot controlled by someone.
204* NeverBareheaded: Marcus is never seen without his hat.
205* OlderThanTheyLook: Marcus is 55, but he still has solid blonde hair. He is a few years older than Jensen, whose hair is already completely grey.
206* RedEyesTakeWarning: Nina's irises turn red when she claims Episode 8 will be the last one in the recap.
207* {{Sadist}}: When given the chance to host the show, Nina proves herself to be as sadistic as her predecessors.
208* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: During Nina's time as the hostess of the show, she lets an eliminated player return and allows two contestants who failed the challenge to win immunity alongside the "killer," ordering said returning player to choose [[spoiler:Ally and Hunter]] specifically, so as to increase the drama among the cast.
209* SpannerInTheWorks: Per above, by telling [[spoiler:Karol]] to share her immunity with [[spoiler:Ally and Hunter]], Nina effectively switched the target of elimination for the episode, forcing the alliance between [[spoiler: Aiden and James and the trio of Lake, Riya, and Rosa Maria]] to vote for one of them, allowing the remaining alliances to be balanced and thus ensuring more drama.

221
222Oliver is one of the previous season's former interns. Kristal took pity on him and decided to choose him for the new season after he auditioned. Oliver has worked for the host’s family since he finished high school and his low-paying job has taken up most of his time.
223----
224* {{Acrofatic}}: For someone of his size and height, Oliver is the fastest runner in the cast when he reaches the campgrounds first and is about to win the foot-race portion of the challenge for the Orange Team until his panic attack kicked in. Given the physically demanding nature of his minimum-wage jobs, he must always be on his feet if he wants to maintain them.
225* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Oliver wasn't present in the original first season, but became a RecurringExtra when it got [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]].
226* AscendedExtra: A lowly, low-paying intern of the previous season to a contestant in the next which didn't last long when he was eliminated first. However, Oliver's actual big break is when he was hired back as an intern for Kristal and essentially became her [[HyperCompetentSidekick trusty co-host]] and [[TheConscience moral conscience]]. He was later promoted to production manager at the end of the season.
227* BigOlEyebrows: Has one of the biggest eyebrows of the cast.
228* BlackBeadEyes: The [[NonStandardCharacterDesign only one]] in the second season and the second person after [[Characters/DisventureCampSeasonOneContestants Dan]] series-wide to have dots for eyes for his character design.
229* CallForward: Oliver mentions to Kristal in season two that he doesn't want Disventure Camp to shut down and not be broadcasted for years [[HistoryRepeats a second time]] because of the host's shady behaviour. Since he personally experienced this as an intern working there with the first season [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]] and aired in achronological order, it would be a matter of time before the fate of Tipiskaw Camp [[ForegoneConclusion comes to be]].
230* CharacterTic: He does a rock-and-roll hand sign whenever he's excited about something.
231* TheConscience: Upon Kristal's request, Oliver tries reigning her sadistic tendencies to keep the competition relatively safe but alas his efforts are shut down when Kristal lets all power of being the GameShowHost go to her head anyway. She finally starts listening to Oliver after driving him away and production goes immediately south without him.
232* DemotedToExtra: An interesting case since he's an AscendedExtra chronologically but for [[OutOfOrder airing order]], Oliver goes from having a major role as Kristal's assistant in the second season to brief cameos as the nameless intern demonstrating the challenges in the first season.
233* DiabolusExMachina: He does decently during the last stretch of the relay race, only to see a hallucination of his previous boss halfway there, causing him to drop his flag and beg a tree for mercy. This never happens to him again, even as he goes on to work as an intern.
234* EarlyBirdCameo: Due to the first season [[ContinuityReboot rebooting]] after the second season finished airing, Oliver frequently cameos in the former as the intern demonstrating the challenges to those watching the show in chronological order.
235* GuestFighter: Since there was an uneven number of competitors, he temporarily rejoined the game in "Sabotage Below Zero" to assist Karol in the blindfolded sled challenge. Even though he used to be a contestant, he has been an intern for far longer to count as the trope.
236* {{Hallucinations}}: This is how he winds up losing the delay race; just as he's reaching the finish line, he suddenly gets a hallucination of his former boss, which causes him to beg him, actually a tree, for forgiveness long enough for Riya to cross the finish line and win the challenge. This never happens to him again, even as an intern.
237* HyperCompetentSidekick: Serves as this to Kristal once he becomes an intern. While he does have his limits and is shown to struggle a lot, the challenges are always up and running no problem when the time to do them comes. This becomes more pronounced once [[spoiler:Kristal loses her temper and fires him before he quits, leaving Kristal alone to make the challenges and their setpieces and proving that she's ''terrible'' at it. So much so that she goes to Oliver to apologize to him and hire him back]].
238* TheLoad: His [[HeroicBSOD panic attacks]] is a huge hindrance to his team and challenge performance which is why he was eliminated first. The [[HyperCompetentSidekick opposite]] is true when [[spoiler:working as an intern]], however.
239* MirrorCharacter: He's this to Jared Johnson from the original version of Season 1, Adventure Camp. Both used to work as interns for [[Characters/TotalDramaHosts Chris McLean]]. However, while Jared was fired for a petty reason and orchestrated his {{Revenge}} to avenge not being able to afford medication for his mother, Oliver got to be a contestant before being hired as an intern for another season, having a much better relationship with the new hostess of the show, even acting as her TheConscience by helping her grow as a person and learn to respect him.
240* MoralityChain: {{Invoked}}. One of the clauses that Kristal gives Oliver when he becomes her intern, which she tells him in private, is to act as a sort of conscience to rein her in when she starts becoming too sadistic during her challenges.
241* NervousWreck: Oliver tends to freak out at the sight of his past and can be scared of Kristal at times.
242* NiceGuy: He's very patient with people, and unless pushed, he's a pretty friendly guy.
243* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Nice to Kristal's Mean and Marcus and Nina's In-Between as he looks after the contestants' safety and tries acting as TheConscience for Kristal's more sadistic behaviour.
244* NothingIsScarier: We never do end up seeing who was his former boss during the hallucination that costs him the relay race.
245* OlderThanHeLooks: He has the appearance and height of a TinySchoolboy which could mislead you into thinking he's 16 or even younger. However, his character bio mentions he not only already finished high school, but spent years working as an intern for ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' and then the previous season of this show afterwards which would put his age somewhere in his late twenties.
246* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Kristal sometimes shuts down Oliver's suggestions to tone down the more dangerous and sadistic aspects of the competition by reminding him of how he got eliminated first so he shouldn't be one to talk.
247* OutOfFocus: In All-Stars he takes a bit of a backseat when compared to the other members of the crew.
248* PutOnTheBus: Once he has enough of Kristal's growing sadism, Oliver leaves midway through "Broke & Back Mountain" after the host fired him and spends the next two episodes offscreen finding his way to the hotel where the eliminated contestants reside.
249* RankUp: [[spoiler:Season 2 ends with Oliver being promoted to the Challenge supervisor, ensuring that the challenges are safe for the contestants]].
250* RecurringExtra: Oliver appears in every episode of the first season but is greatly reduced to silent cameos as the intern demonstrating the challenges during the hosts' explanation.
251* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Kristal not only ignoring him for the umpteenth time but ''firing'' him for standing up to her causes Oliver to straight up quit his job and go out of the camp to do some soul searching]].
252* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Dan, who were both [[BlackBeadEyes beady-eyed]], glasses and hoodie-wearing nerds that [[spoiler:got eliminated first]] but became {{Ascended Extra}}s.
253* TemptingFate: Oliver's first confessional is dripping with {{Irony}} after he became the [[spoiler:first eliminated]] in the season:
254-->'''Oliver:''' I will make my team victorious! After years of well-deserved failures of low-paying jobs, I'll finally do something that will be remembered!
255* ThrowTheDogABone: Over the course of the season, he [[spoiler:is allowed to stay as an intern after his elimination, Kristal apologizes to him for treating him badly and acknowledges his importance Connor offers him a job as a manager after the show is over, and gets a job as the production manager for the next season of the show.]]
256* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Tiny Guy to Kristal's Huge Girl. Kristal is as tall and developed as you'd expect from a full-grown woman, while Oliver doesn't even reach her waist.
257* TokenGoodTeammate: He's easily the nicest member of the production crew in ''All-Stars'', as Marcus and Nina are more on the neutral side, Emily's implied to be on the nastier side of things, and Kristal's back to her old habits.
258* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Averted as while he's eliminated in the very first episode, Oliver manages to stay on as an intern which allows for his characterisation and relationship with the host to develop. According to the writers, they didn't want to leave Oliver as a disposable character like [[Characters/DisventureCampSeasonOneContestants Dan]] was in the original season]].

267----
268* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Much like Kristal before her, she bears her midriff. It also suggests she's aware of her beauty and is meant to add to her other typically feminine traits, such as her long hair or wearing heavy make-up.
269* TheGadfly: Part of her job is to stir up drama from confessionals and interviews with the cast, so she purposefully goes out of her way to provoke the contestants.
270* LasciviousBeautyMark: She spots a beauty mark, which is meant to add to her MsFanservice appeal.
271* MakeupIsEvil: Emily wears heavy makeup and she's implied to be one of the nastier production crew members, given how she throws Marcus, Nina, and Oliver off a plane in the opening.
272* MsExposition: This is at least part of how her interviews with the contestants work, catching the audience up on what they've been doing between their seasons and ''All-Stars''.
273* MsFanservice: She's quite easy on the eye, fashionable, exposes her cleavage, and bares her midriff, just like Kristal did before her. She also seems aware of her own good looks.
274* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: While she's {{sadist}}ic, she seems to be fine with Trevor being in love with Derek.
275* ProudBeauty: She's [[MsFanservice attractive]], plus seems aware and proud of this.
276* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite debuting in ''All-Stars'', Emily is never really properly introduced to the audience, with Kristal and the contestants acting as if she had always been there.
277* {{Sadist}}: In the opening sequence for ''All-Stars'', she pushes her fellow staff members Marcus, Nina, and Oliver off a plane for her own amusement. In the first episode, she does the same thing but to Trevor and Derek instead. She also seems fond of Derek's idea to add sharks and eels to the second challenge (which involves the contestants scuba diving).
