    Kelly and Taylor, Mother and Daughter 
Characters in Total Drama Ridonculous Race M To Z
Left: Taylor. Right: Kelly
Voiced by: Julie Lemieux (Kelly) & Bryn McAuley (Taylor)
Placement: 13th
Eliminated in: Episode 9

A pair of rich socialites. Kelly is a trophy wife who enjoys being the "cool mom" (her words) and spoils her daughter rotten without questioning her. Taylor is a vain and bratty Daddy's Girl who walks all over her mother in return and rarely has a good word to say about her put-upon parent.


  • Abusive Offspring: As a result of Kelly's Hands-Off Parenting, Taylor is often verbally abusive towards her mother.
  • All Take and No Give: Pretty much Taylor's relationship with her mother; her whole life consists of Kelly spoiling her silly without the slightest hint of gratitude in return.
  • Alpha Bitch: Taylor has all the makings of one, even though she lacks followers to boss around, save for her mother.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: According to Taylor, Kelly is lame and constantly embarrasses her.
  • Attention Whore: Taylor, as expected of a rich, spoiled teenage girl.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Taylor kicks a goat while having a tantrum, with said goat shortly retaliating by ramming her.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Taylor is a Jerkass to her own mother, in spite of her good looks.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Kelly is a Doting Parent; however, her limits are tested during the competition.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Taylor has got some meaty curves on her.
  • Born Winner: Taylor believes that she is this. However, Kelly later reveals that all of Taylor's awards, trophies and achievements were all bought by her father.
  • Bratty Teenage Daughter: Taylor, to the point where she's able to give Heather, Courtney, and Amy a run for their money.
  • Break the Haughty: Taylor shuts down after Kelly reveals that all her awards were fake. She later snaps out of it after a mom-daughter bonding moment.
  • Breath-Holding Brat: Because Taylor was never taught any boundaries, she does this to get whatever she wants from her mother. In one particular instance as a child, Taylor held her breath until her mother bought her a really expensive dollhouse... only to toss it aside once she got bored of it. Apparently, years of holding her breath to get what she wants have given her a very impressive lung capacity.
  • Brutal Honesty:
    • Used by Kelly against Taylor after the former's patience with the latter finally runs out.
    • Used on Kelly by Dwayne, who remarks that giving Taylor no boundaries has caused her to be a spoiled brat.
  • The Bully: 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.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: Taylor has extraordinary lung capacity, thanks to being a Breath-Holding Brat. Kelly even claims that Taylor once held her breath for 7 minutes.
  • Compliment Backfire: 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?".
  • Cool Old Lady: Kelly believes herself to be the cool mom and claims that Taylor's friends love it when she hangs out with them.
  • Daddy's Girl: Kelly said Taylor was more of a Daddy's girl.
  • Death Glare: 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.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To the Father and Son team (Dwayne and Junior). Both teams have the children being initially annoyed by their parents, but later circumstances made their bonds grow stronger than before.
  • The Dog Bites Back: 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 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 where she reveals Taylor has never won anything in her life, and all her trophies were bought while her contest judges were paid to lie.
    • In "Hello and Dubai", Kelly gives Taylor a time out by hoisting her atop the window washing platform and ultimately cuts her allowance after they were eliminated.
  • Doting Parent: For the most part, Kelly seems blissfully unaware of how heavily flawed her daughter is, and she still thinks of her like a sweetheart. She finally comes to terms with how much of a Spoiled Brat Taylor is in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: For Kelly, who made up with Taylor by way of going shopping at a golden mall, and starting to become more assertive by cancelling Taylor's allowance.
  • Entitled Bitch: Growing up spoiled has given Taylor this mentality.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Taylor insults her mother and flatly talks about how awesome she is.
  • Expy: They seem to be based on Regina George and her mother; Kelly even wears an outfit similar to Mrs. George's tracksuit.
  • Extreme Doormat: Kelly a submissive parent who lets her Spoiled Brat daughter, Taylor, walk all over her and gets away with it for the majority of the season. In "Hello and Dubai", Kelly demands Taylor stop treating her like a metaphorical doormat after Taylor uses her mother as a literal doormat.
  • Fat and Skinny: Downplayed. While Taylor isn't fat, she is rather plump compared to Kelly's slim figure.
  • Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: Inverted, and downplayed. While Kelly isn't too tomboyish, she's much more athletically inclined than Taylor, and wears a tracksuit, while Taylor is a Lazy Bum who wears a skirt.
  • Foil: To Dwayne and Junior, the Father and Son team. Both teams are a Parent-Child Team with a Wacky Parent, Serious Child dynamic. Among their differences is that Kelly and Taylor are a well-to-do family, while Dwayne and Junior are a suburban middle class family. Kelly and Taylor's relationship is rather toxic, due to the mother not setting any boundaries, allowing her daughter to walk over her, although Kelly eventually puts her foot down after she's pushed too far. In contrast, Junior might laugh at his dad's misfortunes and believes that he's too overprotective, but their relationship is far more stable.
  • Freudian Excuse: Unlike Amy, Taylor's obnoxious and bratty attitude is justified by her pushover mother allowing her to do whatever she wants with no repercussions.
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Kelly attempts to get her daughter enthusiastic about the Race; however, Taylor is a Perpetual Frowner who wants practically nothing to do with her mother.
  • Grew a Spine: Kelly. When Taylor's insubordination very nearly got them eliminated, Kelly starts to become more assertive.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Kelly, who at least tries her best in taking care of Taylor's well-being, and is generally not that sour in front of others.
  • Hands-Off Parenting: Kelly, in her attempts to be a "cool mom", makes the mistake of setting no boundaries for Taylor as a child, allowing her to become a Spoiled Brat.
  • Hartman Hips: Despite the fact she's still in her late teens, Taylor's hips are drawn wider than some of the grown women of the cast.
  • Hidden Depths: Kelly attended art school before getting married and having Taylor, so it may be inferred that Kelly actually has great artistic skills.
  • Humble Pie: Taylor gets a big slice of it, if not the whole pie, when her mom reveals that all her awards and trophies are fake.
  • Informed Ability: Taylor says she's great at everything, yet she shows no really noticeable skill. Later, we find out it's because her parents bought her trophies and bribed judges, rather than Taylor actually having any skill.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Taylor has a striking resemblence to her voice actress Bryn McAuley albeit her hair having a lighter shade of brown.
  • It's All About Me: When Kelly tries to share her experience in art school, Taylor exclaims "not everything's about you".
  • Jerkass: Taylor's entire personality never goes beyond being a mean, Spoiled Brat who shows her own mother no respect and has very little redeemable traits. This is largely attributed to her upbringing.
  • Kick the Dog: Taylor is very insolent towards her mother, regularly abusing her vocally and not showing even the slightest hint of gratitude for the sacrifices Kelly makes for her. Eventually, Kelly puts Taylor in her place.
  • Laser-Guided Karma:
    • In "Brazilian Pain Forest", Taylor gets pooped on by a cow, then she was head-butted 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.
    • In "Hello and Dubai", Kelly punishes Taylor for being disrespectful towards her and for smearing bird poop over her by giving Taylor a time out, which is to say that Kelly hoisted the gurney she was on with Taylor, causing Taylor to be hoisted up and hanging several stories high with Kelly refusing to help Taylor until Taylor apologized. Later on after they get eliminated, Kelly cancels Taylor's allowance
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Kelly is the Doting Parent light feminine to Taylor's Spoiled Brat dark feminine.
  • The Load: Taylor would rather let her mom do the heavy lifting than help participate in the challenges.
  • Mama Bear: Kelly splashed Dwayne Sr. with her cup of water when he implied Taylor was born rotten. She later realizes he was right.
  • Mean Boss: Taylor yells at the family maid all the time to make her work faster.
  • Mirror Character:
    • 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 Valley Girl accent. However, Taylor has proven herself to be relatively more humane than Amy ever was.
    • 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, eventually putting her insolent daughter in her place.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Taylor is visually attractive and the same applies to Kelly but to a lesser extent.
  • Mum Looks Like a Sister: According to Kelly. Taylor was understandably confused.
  • Never My Fault:
    • 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 for their 60 minute penalty, even though it was clearly Taylor's fault for not going back to the start as instructed.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: They are essentially a highly flanderized version of mother-daughter duo Missy and Baylor from Survivor, even down to having similar names (Missy/Kelly and Baylor/Taylor).
  • Parent-Child Team: One of two such teams in the Race. Because of Taylor's unwillingness to participate, Kelly has to carry the burden by herself, leading to friction between them.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Taylor is often seen with a disapproving scowl on her face, as she is often annoyed by her mother.
  • Pushover Parents: Even after becoming more assertive, Kelly is still somewhat of a pushover...at least until she cuts off Taylor's allowance.
    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!
  • Rage Breaking Point: Kelly, who has been beyond patient with Taylor's insolence, finally snaps at her daughter when they come in next to last in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kelly gives her daughter a scathing yet long overdue reality check, revealing that all of Taylor's medals, trophies, and accomplishments were bought and not earned, in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
    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! (Taylor gasps in shock)
  • Rich Bitch: 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 generally polite towards others.
  • The Rich Have White Stuff: Both of them wear white clothes with yellow accents.
  • Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Taylor, after being spoiled for virtually all her life.
  • Running Gag: Taylor getting animal poop on her boots.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Kelly tells Taylor that 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.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: 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.
  • Shared Family Quirks: Taylor and her father both love to win and they both hate avocado.
  • Skewed Priorities:
    • 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.
      Taylor: (after her grass skirt catches fire) Fire! (Kelly rushes Taylor to the beach and starts throwing sand to extinguish the flames) Mom! My extensions!
      MacArthur: I'd worry about the burns more than the hair but, uh... I'm funny like that.
    • What cost them the race is that they went shopping before checking in at the Chill Zone.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: For all of 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.
  • Spoiled Brat: Taylor, who was spoiled by Kelly as a child.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Kelly is a very tall and beautiful woman.
  • Stepford Smiler: Kelly takes her daughter's demeaning insults with forced enthusiasm.
  • Teens Are Monsters: Taylor is a teenager who loves to push her mom around.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: During the Squeegee challenge in "Hello and Dubai" as Kelly's patience with Taylor runs on empty.
    Kelly: (to Taylor, through her teeth) Yelling won't help, sweetie.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: 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 hoisted and promises to treat her with the respect she deserves.
  • Tough Love: 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.
  • Trophy Wife: Kelly is called one by Word of God.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Kelly said that Taylor crashed her third sports car by the age of ten.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Taylor is this to her mother Kelly, who has spoiled her and catered to her every whim, but still gets treated like trash.
  • Valley Girl: Taylor talks in this accent, on top of her Buffy Speak.
  • Vanity Is Feminine: Taylor refuses to ruin her looks for a challenge, openly refusing to walk over hot coals and ruining her pedicure in "Hawaiian Honeyruin".
  • Vomit Indiscretion Shot: 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.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: Kelly wants to enjoy her time during the race and tries to bond with her daughter; however, Taylor wants her mother to leave her alone.
  • Was Too Hard on Her: After telling Taylor that all her awards were fake in "Hawaiian Honeyruin", Kelly feels this way in the following episode.
  • Younger Than They Look: Taylor is implied to be a teenager, but could easily pass for a woman in her 20s or early 30s.

    Sanders and MacArthur, Police Cadets 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrms_2.png
Left: Sanders. Right: MacArthur
Voiced by: Nicole Stamp (Sanders), Evany Rosen (MacArthur)
Placement: 1st/2nd
Eliminated in: Episode 26

A pair of Action Girl trainee cops who are as different from each other as night and day yet still manage to work well together. While MacArthur is hot-blooded, hot-headed and fiercely driven, Sanders is much calmer and acts as the team's conscience and voice of reason.


  • Achilles' Heel: MacArthur has great physical skills overall, something she contributes to her glutes. However, "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars" shows that if she has to do a physical activity that doesn't involve using one's glutes, such as paddling a boat, she'll get exhausted quickly.
  • Acrofatic: MacArthur is really agile despite her size.
  • Action Girl: Both of them, due to their training experiences; MacArthur more so due to her impulsiveness.
  • Anti-Hero: MacArthur can resort to questionable means, and can often be quite rude, but usually remains on the good side. Although sometimes she can veer into...
  • Anti-Villain: There are times when MacArthur's tendency to bend rules goes too far, and she can come off as being just as devious and manipulative as Josee (if not more). This is best seen in "Ca-Noodling" where it's shown she is no different from her Arch-Enemy and joins in sabotaging the other teams.
  • Arch-Enemy: To the Ice Dancers. MacArthur disliked the Ice Dancers from the very beginning, finding their permanent smiles creepy and suspicious, but it becomes personal once they intentionally knock Sanders over during the foot race to the Don Box in Transylvania. 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 abandon the Cadets during the first leg and then betray them in the second. From then onwards the conflict escalates to a full out war of them Trash Talking and trying to eliminate each other every second episode.
    MacArthur: 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!
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Sanders is usually the more civil and rational one of the duo; however, when angered or motivated, she can be quite effective.
  • Bifauxnen and Lad-ette: They're both tomboys and action girls, but MacArthur is loud, combative, likes bawdy humor and has a Tomboyish Ponytail, while Sanders is more quiet, graceful and has Boyish Short Hair.
  • Big Eater: 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.
  • Birds of a Feather: MacArthur ends up being this with Chris during her cameo in the reboot.
  • Breakout Character: MacArthur was so popular she was made into a recurring character in the Alternate Continuity Total DramaRama. She also had a canon cameo in the parent show reboot.
  • Bully and Wimp Pairing: 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.
  • By-the-Book Cop: Sanders, who wishes to win the competition without breaking any laws.
  • Call-Back: 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, later she reveals she faked her way into the police academy and actually was a fruit smuggler, herself.
  • Canon Welding: When she was six, MacArthur had a babysitter named Jen Masterson.
  • Catchphrase: MacArthur has "Nailed it!"
  • Character Development:
    • 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 its 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 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.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: MacArthur somehow managed to train herself to smell hidden objects so that she'd be able to catch anyone who tries to smuggle oranges across the border.
  • Chekhov's Skill: As revealed in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", Sanders can do a perfect imitation of a police siren, something she admitted to have practiced just in case, thinking she'd never get to do it on the show.
  • Code of Honour: Both of them possess one. It becomes important in "Bahamarama" when it leads MacArthur to rescues her Arch-Enemy Josee from dying in a Save the Villain moment.
  • Competition Freak: MacArthur to a degree, who cannot resist turning down a challenge, even when it's farting. Especially when it's farting. Ironically, despite this farting competition she never challenges Owen or has the misfortune of being around him when he farts.
  • Control Freak: 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.
  • Cowboy Cop: 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. 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.
  • Deadpan Snarker:
    • MacArthur has a tendency to make wisecracks at the expense of others, especially The Ice Dancers.
    • Sanders can be fairly sarcastic as well, although it's mostly just directed at MacArthur.
  • Determinator: One of the reasons for their consistent success in the race.
    • 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.
    • They both have moments of this in the final leg of the race. After their clue falls down a sewer drain, Sanders outright breaks the cast on her left arm and twists her own broken bones to reach down the spiraling drain and snatch their clue. This, coupled with MacArthur carrying a now unconscious Sanders towards Don, manages to finally get the Cadets' rivals, the Ice Dancers, eliminated.
  • Disqualification-Induced Victory: They won the Mexico leg because of Jacques and Josee arriving without their burros.
  • Drives Like Crazy:
    • 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.
  • Dungeon Bypass: 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.
  • Enemy Mine:
    • 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 Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, as Josee and MacArthur argue and fight throughout the challenge. When they finally decide to cooperate, they realize they're the same and join forces to sabotage the other team. Sanders describes this as an "Axis of Evil".
  • Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: MacArthur is the gung-ho "take no prisoners" type, while Sanders is more calm and reserved.
  • Eskimos Aren't Real: MacArthur believes that pirates never exised in real life. When Sanders tells her they were real, she mockingly tells her to "tell that to my pet unicorn".
  • Evil Laugh: Gives one in "Ca-Noodling" when she joins forces with Josee to sabotage the other teams.
  • Expy: Of Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock's characters from The Heat.
  • Fat and Skinny: MacArthur and Sanders, respectively.
  • Fat Bitch: MacArthur is heavyset, impolite, and far more flippant about following procedure than Sanders.
  • Flashed-Badge Hijack: MacArthur frequently does this to steal vehicles from bystanders to use in the race.
  • Gasshole: Farts are pretty Serious Business 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.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: 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.
  • Good Counterpart: One could argue that MacArthur is basically Jo's "Dr. Jekyll" self, as both Ladettes are athletically prepared and rudely aggressive towards others. Whereas Jo is infamous for being an opportunistic Card-Carrying Villain while competing, MacArthur performs in the competition much more fairly.
  • Good Is Not Nice: MacArthur is a perfect example, as part of her "bad cop" shtick.
  • Graceful Loser: 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.
  • Grew a Spine: 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.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: 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.
  • Handicapped Badass: 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. She is seen with her arm in a cast for the remainder of the race.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: MacArthur and Sanders' relationship is described as this. Even though they do fight and bicker occasionally, they still care about each other. Macarthur cares about Sanders a lot that she would carry Sanders on her shoulders whenever Sanders cannot continue running.
  • Hidden Depths: MacArthur reveals that she aced Psychology in "My Way or Zimbabwe".
  • Hypocritical Humor: 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 Double Standard.
  • Jerk Jock: Downplayed, MacArthur can come off as rude and mean due to her competitive nature, but deep down she still has a code of honor.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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", where MacArthur's 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.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: MacArthur owns a cat...that she wanted to call through one allowed phone call over letting Sanders call her sick grandmother.
  • The Lad-ette: MacArthur takes farting seriously and generally gets along with mostly males.
  • Last-Name Basis: The only contestants to be referred by their surnames. Word of God stated that they weren't given first names but this was averted 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.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: More often than not, MacArthur acts on impulse rather than take the time to think a plan out.
  • Like an Old Married Couple: MacArthur and Sanders occasionally have such spats due to them having different philosophies of law and their personalities.
  • The Load: Played with. Because of her impulsiveness, MacArthur occasionally thinks of Sanders as one. However, Sanders is 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.
  • Lovely Angels: Despite their occasional bickering, they've been through a lot together and have each other's backs.
  • Manipulative Bitch: MacArthur loves messing with people's minds — a skill she attributes to psychology lessons at the academy.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: MacArthur serves as the masculine girl to Brody's feminine boy. MacArthur's The Lad-ette and is extremely aggressive while Brody is more laid-back.
  • Mirror Character:
    • Both of them share characteristic from Brick, with the disciplined "cadet" stereotype, and the "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.
    • Like Brick, they both have different traits of LeShawna. MacArthur her Awesome Ego, Boisterousness and rivalry with the Alpha Bitch. Sanders her compassion, level-headedness and Deadpan Snarker tendencies.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: MacArthur realizes how much of a jerk she is to Sanders after her brash negligence sends Sanders falling down a seven mile deep shaft. 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.
  • Nice Girl: Sanders is a very sensitive and empathetic woman who tries to be the voice of reason for her aggresive teammate.
  • Nice Job Breaking It Heroine: Downplayed. MacArthur tries exploiting Ryan and Stephanie's hate for each other, but then they drive off the road and end up getting ahead of everyone else, although it doesn't last.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In "Bahamarama", MacArthur helps her mortal enemy Josee get out of the underwater cavern by sharing her oxygen. Once they're above ground, Josee throws a coconut at the Cadets, knocking MacArthur down to slow them down.
  • No Inside Voice: 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?
  • No One Gets Left Behind: MacArthur's attitude towards Sanders. She often carries her when she gets incapacitated or worn out. Sanders eventually returns the favor in "Bahamarama".
  • The Nose Knows: 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.
  • Older Than She Looks: MacArthur's cameo in Total Drama Island (2023) shows that, just like the hosts (and Owen), she doesn't look any day older after more than a decade passing by.
  • Old Shame: In-Universe. 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.
  • One of the Boys: While riding on a cart being pulled by a gassy donkey, MacArthur laughs along with the Surfers and Rockers, while Sanders just seems annoyed.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: In "Bahamarama", this is in part MacArthur's reason for saving Josee. 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.
  • Only Sane Woman: Sanders is usually one of the more level headed contestants. This is especially true with the "Axis of Evil" alliance with the Ice Dancers and Daters.
  • Over-the-Shoulder Carry: MacArthur frequently carries Sanders using this method. Sanders returns the favor in "Bahamarama" after MacArthur gets knocked over by Josee.
  • Plot Armor: Avoided elimination twice since the race focused primarily on their feud with the Ice Dancers.
  • Rank Up: In Ridonculous Race MacArthur was a cadet, after the Time Skip in the reboot she was introduced as Master Sargent.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The reckless, aggressive MacArthur is the red, to the calmer, more rational Sanders' blue. Ironically, both of them wear blue police uniforms.
  • Reused Character Design: Sanders' character model strongly resembles Katie's, with the exception of her skin color, eye shape, and hairstyle.
  • Revenge Before Reason: 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.
  • Running Gag: MacArthur and glutes, whether her own or how other people (especially Sanders) need to use theirs more.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Sanders likes to snark at the contestants when the opportunity comes.
  • Save the Villain: In "Bahamarama", MacArthur cannot bring herself to leave Josee behind, and shares her oxygen with her Arch-Enemy and helps her to escape.
  • Shaking the Rump: MacArthur shows off her butt pretty often in the last episodes of the season.
  • Ship Tease: While it's not entirely shown if MacArthur returns the feeling, she is flattered by Brody's crush on her.
  • So Proud of You: MacArthur expresses pride in Sanders whenever she is forced to use Bad Cop strategies, even on MacArthur herself.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: They have claims to be the main heroes of Ridonculous Race, being potential finalists, heavily focused on in almost every episode, and MacArthur's rivalry with Josee being one of the central plots of the season.
  • Squick: In-Universe. When Sanders uses her broken arm without the cast to reach for a tip in a sewer drain, MacArthur is understandably disgusted by her rash decision.
  • Stout Strength: MacArthur, she even claims that she's basically 80 percent glutes by this point.
  • Straight Man and Wise Guy: Sanders is the Straight Man to MacArthur's impulsive and mischievous Wise Guy.
  • Super-Strength: MacArthur is shown to be one of the strongest characters in the series, up there with the likes of Jasmine, Sierra, and Tyler. She nonchalantly breaks out of the prison in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" by pulling the prison bars out of the wall. She is also able to carry a burro on her back all the way to the finish line, and beat up a huge bull.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With the Ice Dancers during the "The Shawshank Ridonc-tion". They then form a sketchy alliance in "Ca-Noodling".
  • This Is Unforgivable!: 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 not feeding her dessert when she was six, and has been actively plotting revenge since then. On a related note, said babysitter is called by her full name: Jen Masterson.
  • Token Good Teammate: Sanders is one for the "Axis of Evil" along with Ryan.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: MacArthur the Tomboy to Sanders' girly girl, although Sanders is more of a Tomboy with a Girly Streak.
  • Tomboyish Baseball Cap: MacArthur always wear one and she is the more Masculine of the two girls.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: MacArthur
  • Trash Talk: Both of them, but MacArthur in particular. It's mostly reserved for the Ice Dancers, but other teams get a dose occasionally.
  • Troll: MacArthur is often one, especially to Sanders, and does things like giving her a ticket for "excessive complaining".
  • Tsundere: MacArthur can switch from jolly to aggressive at a moment's notice.
  • Victory by Endurance: MacArthur gets chased by an angry rhino, but ends up outrunning it and continuing to the point where the rhino gets too exhausted to continue.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: They have each other's backs but are not above trading insults and snark.
  • Youthful Freckles: Sanders has them.

    Noah and Owen, Reality TV Pros 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rron.png
Left: Noah. Right: Owen
Voiced by: Scott McCord (Owen), Carter Hayden (Noah)
Placement: 8th
Eliminated in: Episode 18

A pair of popular and well-known returning contestants from Total Drama. Owen is a big, sweet, gassy, and not-too-bright goofball who loves to eat, while Noah is a Brilliant, but Lazy, sarcastic, cynical, and condescending bookworm. Somehow they're close friends.

For their time on Total Drama, see their entries on Total Drama Screaming Gophers.


  • Acquired Poison Immunity: After hanging around with Owen a lot, Noah no longer appears to be effected by his gas, while everyone else is overwhelmed by the smell. He's more annoyed with Owen's lack of restraint than the fart itself.
  • Almost Kiss: Noah and Emma on several occasions. Finally subverted in "Got Venom" when they actually do kiss.
  • Always Someone Better: Noah suffers from this. He claims that he has lost every reality show he's ever been on.
  • And the Adventure Continues: After their elimination, Noah reveals that they had been asked to appear on another reality show.
  • Big Eater: Owen as usual; however, he draws the line at the Icelandic feast.
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: Owen is the duller big guy to Noah's smart little guy.
  • Blatant Lies: 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.
  • Breakout Character: Noah has been a fan-favorite in every previous Total Drama season he competed in, with fans always feeling he was eliminated too early and requested he return. Noah finally gets his biggest focus yet in Ridonculous Race likely due to the popular demand.
  • Character Development:
    • Owen's still a silly, fun-loving goofball, but he's noticeably more mature and focused on the race than he was on Total Drama.
    • Additionally, during the Ridonculous Race, Owen actually seems more embarrassed about farting as a few episodes show him somewhat more reluctant and apologetic about his gas, which is a pleasant and amusing development given that his first confessional in Island had him shamelessly ripping one on live TV. He stayed unashamed of his farts even all the way to All Stars.
    • Noah becomes gradually less abrasive and stoic in his relationship with Emma.
  • Companion Cube: Owen's teddy bear, until he unwittingly eats it, since he hasn't gotten over his fear of flying. Noah then becomes Owen's unwilling companion cube after Owen ate his teddy bear by accident.
  • Deadpan Snarker: 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.
  • Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: Noah keeps doing this when trying to talk to Emma in "New Beijinging".
  • Disqualification-Induced Victory: 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.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Owen doesn't have his driver's license yet, and it shows.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: 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. He also says that he and Owen have already been invited to appear on another reality show.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • Owen, who drank camel drool in Morocco and ate things that were just as disgusting during his time on Total Drama, such as literal garbage in Island and an entire fake buffet made of sawdust and foamcore in Action, was disgusted by the Icelandic feast. However, when Owen did these things he was not really thinking about what he was doing.
    • Owen finds Leonard's wannabe-wizard shtick dorky, despite being somewhat of an oddball himself.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Owen as usual. However, he draws the line with what he'll eat at the Icelandic feast. He does eventually eat it, although his hesitation is notable.
  • Fat and Skinny: Owen's the Fat to Noah's Skinny.
  • First Love: 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.
  • Freudian Slip: Noah accidentally says he's focused on Emma instead of the race in Finland.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: They've known Geoff for a significant amount of time but they bearly say a word to him on this show. Justified with Noah given his anti-social nature and the fact that he never significantly interacted with Geoff on Total Drama, but Owen and Geoff were friends in the later half of "Island".
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Owen is an optimistic goofball while Noah is the stoic Deadpan Snarker...at least at first.
  • Gold Digger: Noah is rather glad to be in a relationship with Emma. He says he's now dating a lawyer, so he'll never have to work again.
  • Graceful Loser: 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.
  • Heroic BSoD: When an unsure Emma breaks up with Noah, he becomes a total wreck for a whole episode.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Noah is still Owen's little buddy, and they have been hanging together all this time since World Tour. Funnily enough, both of them are Ambiguously Bi in the original show, but not really for each other.
  • Informed Attractiveness: In Ridonculous Race, Emma gushes over Noah's looks, including that his butt is "like two apples suspended in mid-air." His butt is drawn completely flat in the art style.
  • K-I-S-S-I-N-G in a Tree: Owen teases Noah using this statement in "New Beijinging".
  • The Load:
    • Owen's appetite nearly cost them the race in the 3rd episode, see Loophole Abuse 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 a rejection-induced coma for most of "Little Bull on the Prairie", which forces Owen to physically carry him through the challenges.
  • Loophole Abuse: 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 and slapped a 20-minute penalty against them.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: 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.
  • Love Redeems: Downplayed but after falling in love with Emma, Noah begins to soften up.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Noah's the chilled Feminine Boy to Emma's determined Masculine Girl.
  • Moment Killer:
    • Owen, though he tries not to be.
    • Noah threatens to become one for Geoff and 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.
  • Morton's Fork: 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, he's dating a lawyer, so he'll never have to work again.
    "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... I win. And if we get eliminated... I still win!"
  • Nausea Fuel:
    • Owen drinking camel saliva is this In-Universe to the point that almost everyone vomited.
    • Also Owen kissing a komodo dragon made Noah barf.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: For all of Scott McCord's roles in the race, Owen's the in-between to Brody's nice and Jacques's mean.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: It's more obvious with them as a duo that they're essentially an animated version of Chris Farley and David Spade.
  • Not So Stoic: 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.
  • Older Than They Look: It's been several years since Island where they were 16 years old, but their appearance remains unchanged since then.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Owen automatically knows that something's up when he notices that Noah's not acting like his quick-witted, sarcastic self.
  • Punny Name: Owen named his teddy bear Beary.
  • Rescue Romance: Noah manages to gain Emma's trust by saving her when she falls off her cleaning platform in "Hello and Dubai".
  • Rousing Speech: Owen combines this with Quit Your Whining when Noah refuses to perform the air guitar challenge in "I Love Ridonc & Roll". It works.
    Owen: Racing with you has been the most fun ever. 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... I don't know what to say...
    Owen: Shhh. You need to stop worrying about being some girl's hero and be my hero.
  • Sarcasm Failure: Noah can't bring himself to say anything snarky or insincere after hearing Owen's speech in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".
  • Security Blanket: Owen had a teddy bear to keep him calm while flying, at least until he accidentally ate it. Noah now acts as an unwilling substitute for it.
  • Sequel Hook: 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 but the transmission ends before we can hear him say the title.
  • Series Continuity Error: Owen mentions during his and Noah's elimination that he is okay that they didn't win since he already won a million dollars. Owen only won a hundred thousand dollars previously on Total Drama Island. Though it may be possible that he won a million dollars offscreen during one of the reality shows he and Noah have participated in over the years.
  • Shipper on Deck: Once he's clued into it, Owen becomes this for Emma and Noah.
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: Downplayed. Noah's intelligent but is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, while Owen is a Nice Guy and although not totally stupid, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Surprisingly enough, Noah, starting after he notices Emma a third of the way through the season.
  • The Stoic: Noah kept the same annoyed expression on his face when Owen farted and the fumes filled the elevator in the first episode.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Noah's initial reaction to Emma calling off their relationship is similar to how Dave reacted when Sky broke his heart in Pahkitew Island. Ultimately subverted in that Noah did end up rekindling with Emma by the time of his elimination while Dave further devolved into an insane psycho hell-bent on revenge against Sky when he learns that she already had a boyfriend back home.
  • Took a Level in Badass: They're both much more competent on the race than they were on Total Drama, attributed to years of mostly-offscreen reality TV experience.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Compared to his portrayal as a more nuanced Jerk with a Heart of Gold 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. Possibly justified, as it had been stated he has lost every reality show he's been on, including a few in the interim, so the bitterness of losing could easily have gotten to him.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Noah begins to soften up after falling in love with Emma, which leads to him helping Mickey out in Hawaii because he finds him too pathetic to abandon.
  • Transplant: Both hail from the original Total Drama.
  • Unreliable Narrator: During the spice challenge in Morocco, Owen claims in his confessional that he didn't panic. Cue a Description Cut to him freaking out because the unlabeled spices all look the same.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: A one-sided variation on Noah's end. He may snark a lot about Owen's flatulence and constant overeating, but they're good friends nonetheless.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Owen assumes Don is like Chris, willing to allow Loophole Abuse, but is proven wrong when he slaps a 20-minute penalty on them.

    Rock and Spud, Rockers 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrsr.png
Left: Spud. Right: Rock
Voiced by: Carlos Díaz (Rock), Carter Hayden (Spud)
Placement: 10th/11th
Eliminated in: Episode 14

A pair of loud small-town rock music enthusiasts who have their own band called Devil Frog. The two share a strong friendship, to the extent where Rock is usually the only one who can get Spud (who is about as quick-thinking and quick-acting as an actual spud) to react to outside stimuli at all.


  • Air Guitar:
    • Rock often does this whenever they successfully complete a challenge.
    • Spud's air guitar skills lands them first place in "I Love Ridonc & Roll".
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: In "I Love Ridonc & Roll", in a Too Dumb to Live moment, Spud blabs out to other racers that he is gullible, gets easily distracted and will take a dare without hesitation. Later in that same episode, MacArthur exploits that.
  • Basement Dweller: Although they don't match the stereotype, they literally live in their parents' basements.
  • Big Eater: Spud's mom describes him as a "light eater" - when the light comes on, he starts eating.
  • Buffy Speak: Rock talks like this a lot, often using sound effects to describe his feelings at the moment.
  • The Cameo: Both of them appear in the Total Drama Island (2023) episode "Drown Town Abbey" as passengers aboard the plane in which Nichelle Ladonna stops a ninja enemy in one of her movies, suggesting that the Rocksters may have become film extras since their participation in The Ridonculous Race.
  • Character Development: After 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.
  • Character Tic: Rock strums an Air Guitar every time he completes a challenge.
  • Chekhov's Skill: Their air guitar skills earned them first place in Finland.
  • Delayed Reaction: 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 stop after nearly crashing 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.
  • Diabolus ex Machina: The double elimination that sent them home wasn't announced until after they had reached the Chill Zone and narrowly avoided last place.
  • The Ditz: 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!
  • Dumb Blonde: Inverted with Rock, who's of average intelligence.
  • Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: Rock is the more talkative and energetic of the duo, while Spud is too dimwitted to realize where he is and what he's doing at any given moment.
  • Epic Fail: Rock's attempt to motivate Spud with Choco Covered Oinkies in Beijing. Spud steals and eats the whole box and then goes on a sugar rampage before crashing right before the finish line. They only survive the leg due to it being a non-elimination round.
  • Expy: They're based off Jay and Silent Bob, particularly early on in the season where Spud rarely talked.
  • Fat and Skinny: Rock is the Skinny to Spud's Fat.
  • Flat Character: 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.
  • Foreshadowing: In their introduction interview, Rock says Spud isn't good at anything except rocking, but comforts him, saying he'll carry him. This ends up being true, as Rock carries his team for the most of their time on the show.
  • Game-Breaking Injury: Rock injures both of his ankles early in "Down and Outback", and his inability to contribute during that leg of the race ultimately leads to the Rockers' elimination.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Rock has blonde hair and, despite his loudmouthed attitude as a rock fan, is very friendly with others, especially to his best friend and teammate, Spud.
  • Headphones Equal Isolation: When Spud wears his headphones, he completely forgets about the world around him.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Rock and Spud focus a lot more on their relationship with each other than they do with interacting with other teams.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Rock manages to carry the team despite Spud being a complete Load, showing more and more of these and keeping their team in the race almost entirely on his own.
    • 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 "Seven Stages of Heartbreak".
  • Iconic Item: Spud's headphones. He noticeably doesn't wear them as much after his Character Development.
  • Keet: Rock most of the time, and Spud when motivated or dared.
  • Leitmotif: A guitar riff followed by a drum solo.
  • The Load: Spud barely pays attention to the race and lets Rock do all the work, much to the latter's dismay. 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".
  • Meaningful Name:
    • Rock loves to rock out, while Spud pretty much has the attention span of a potato.
    • Their team name being "The Rockers" is mainly just a reference to them being metal-heads, but it's also a hint about Rock essentially having to be a one-man team because of how lazy Spud is.
  • Metal Head: They front their own garage band, Devil Frog.
  • Mood Whiplash: In "Down and Outback", 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.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Rock greatly resembles Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses.
  • No-Neck Chump: Spud is a rotund boy of medium height whose head at cheek level makes a straight line down to his torso.
  • Odd Friendship: Chet & Lorenzo invite them over for video games after their double-elimination in "Down and Outback".
  • Only Known By His Nickname: "Rock" can be used as a given name, but "Spud" is likely a nickname, and his real name is not known.
  • The Quiet One: In the earlier episodes, Spud almost never spoke, and when he did it was usually a word at a time. Later episodes would let him speak more, albeit not as much as Rock.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Rock is the red, Spud is the blue.
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Spud gives off a high pitched shriek when a seal bites on his head.
  • Simpleton Voice: Spud speaks almost as fast as he thinks... slowly.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Rock, according to the official reveal.
  • So Proud of You: After their elimination, Rock talks about how proud he is of Spud for making it as far as they did in the race.
  • Standalone Episode: They went through most of their run without interacting with any of the other characters. The only time they did interact with others was in their final episode where they both interacted with the Stepbrothers and Spud briefly interacted with Carrie.
  • Swapped Roles: Rock gets injured early in "Down and Outback", forcing Spud to carry the team after spending most of the season being carried by Rock.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: "I Love Ridonc and Roll", their only leg win.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: 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 Character Development kicked in, he became a lot more friendly in addition to being more willing to help.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Spud loves Choco Covered Oinkies; Rock tried to use this as a motivator. Keyword being "tried".
  • Underdogs Never Lose: Subverted. Despite being the underdogs for their entire run, they get taken out at the halfway point of the season.
  • Verbal Tic: Rock often adds spoken sound effects to his stories.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: One sided on Rock's side. While Rock considers Spud his best friend, Rock gets annoyed with Spud's laziness, particularly in "Bjorken Telephone", where Rock force feeds Spud to get him to participate.
  • Younger Than They Look: They look like they're in their mid-twenties at least, but Word of God revealed on a Facebook post that they are both 18. Come season seven of Total Drama Island (2023), and they also appear in one of Nichelle Ladonna's recent action flicks just like they did in The Ridonculous Race, suggesting that they still look like if they are in their mid-twenties even twelve years after competing in the race.

    Emma and Kitty, Sisters 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrke.png
Left: Emma. Right: Kitty
Voiced by: Stacey DePass (Emma) & Stephanie Anne Mills (Kitty)
Placement: 4th
Eliminated in: Episode 25

Two sisters who are like chalk and cheese. Kitty (the younger sister) is fun-loving, sometimes a little scatter-brained, and in the race for a good time. Emma (the older sister), on the other hand, wants to win and looks down on anything that could be considered frivolous, such as romance.


  • All-Loving Heroine: Kitty befriends the Reality Pros, Best Friends, Adversity Twins, and the Surfer Dudes during her and Emma's time in the race.
  • Almost Kiss: Emma and Noah. She gives him one for real after his elimination.
  • Asian Rudeness: Emma's coldness, bossiness and Control Freak tendencies could count, though some of this comes from fallout from a bad relationship, and she mellows-out towards the end of the race. Kitty also has her occasional Competition Freak moments that make her behave aggressively to rival teams, and in her past she could be very destructive when losing.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Kitty is very easily distracted by her surroundings and has difficulty focusing on the game.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: 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 to forget about romance and focus on the race, but this ends up re-activating Emma's Competition Freak mode, which is what Kitty was trying to avoid to begin with.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: While Kitty is generally one of the most friendly contestants, she can be overly competitive at times, and she had gotten into tussles with Stephanie in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" and MacArthur in "Dude Buggies".
  • Big Little Sister: Despite Emma being confirmed to be the older of the two sisters, Kitty is noticeably taller.
  • Big Sister Bully: 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.
  • Call It Karma: Kitty's justification for convincing the ticket counter guy to send the Ice Dancers and Police Cadets to the back of the plane.
  • Camera Fiend: Kitty has a compulsion of taking selfies at every location.
  • Character Development:
    • While her Control Freak 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 frosty sister.
  • Character Tic: Kitty has a habit of taking photos with her phone, usually selfies.
  • Child-Like Voice: Kitty has a chipper voice befitting her bubbly and seemingly carefree personality.
  • Competition Freak:
    • Emma is there to win and tries to keep Kitty focused on the competition. 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.
  • Control Freak: 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.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: 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.
  • Disqualification-Induced Victory: 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.
  • Expy: Kitty's design is similar to Lizbeth from Captain Flamingo, albeit with hair ties, a bluish black skirt, and white socks with brown boots.
  • Face Palm:
    • Emma does this when she notices Kitty taking selfies with a yeti in "Bjorken Telephone".
    • Kitty does this when Owen keeps making 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".
  • Fat and Skinny: Very downplayed, but relatively speaking shorter Emma has a slight bit more shape on her whilst Kitty is taller and thinner.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: 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 she's a bit of a yandere and was just as obsessed with her previous boyfriend.
  • Freudian Excuse: Emma's distrustful nature and Control Freak 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.
  • Freudian Slip:
    • Emma has one in Dubai, when she accidentally says "Noah distractions" instead of "no distractions." 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.
  • Gamer Chick: 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.
  • Genki Girl: Kitty is quite upbeat and tries to look on the bright-side of grave situations.
  • Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Kitty has to smack Emma upside the head to get her to focus on the game in "Maori or Less".
  • Girlish Pigtails: Kitty is the younger, more carefree, and excitable sister of Emma. While Emma wears her hair elegantly loose, Kitty has hers tied into long pigtails with ribbons.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Kitty has Girlish Pigtails, wears a skirt, has a pink phone that she takes a LOT of selfies with and heeled boots but she has also mentioned to be a Gamer Chick and has a brown belt in "fusion kick-boxing yoga".
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Kitty is the peppy one who wants to enjoy her time in the Race, while Emma is (initially) focused on winning the Race.
  • Graceful Loser: They really don't lament their loss in the finale and admit they enjoyed their time while it lasted..
  • Hair Color Dissonance: Both of them have black hair which looks like a very dark shade of blue.
  • Hartman Hips: Between the two sisters Emma has a slightly curvier figure. Kitty is more slender.
  • Hidden Depths: Kitty is capable of sensing love: she quickly realized that Noah was in love with Emma and Carrie was in love with Devin.
  • Hypocritical Humor: 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: 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.
  • Ice Queen: It's strongly implied that Emma acts cold and rude because she was dumped by her boyfriend a few years ago.
  • Iconic Item: Kitty's cellphone, which she uses to take photos.
  • In-Series Nickname:
    • Emma refers to Kitty as "Kit" and "Kits".
    • Kitty calls Emma "Em".
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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.
  • Kawaiiko: Kitty is a hyperactive, energetic Genki Girl who has an excitable, optimistic personality.
  • Leg Focus: Common for many Total Drama girls who are drawn long-legged, but especially noticeable on someone as slender as Kitty is, particularly in her default short skirt and high boots; even more so when walking barefoot on coals or diving in a bikini. Also evident with Emma whenever also in a bikini.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Kitty is the carefree sister and Emma is the bossy sister.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: Emma is usually pragmatic and levelheaded, but romance has always had a weird effect on her — which is why she gave up dating after her first boyfriend dumped her.
    Emma: Love turns me into a total nightmare, and nightmares don't win races.
  • Magic Skirt: Kitty in "My Way or Zimbabwe", when she and Emma go over Victoria Falls.
  • Male Gaze: The camera often focuses on Emma's butt, and sometimes on Kitty's legs.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Emma's the determined Masculine Girl to Noah's chilled Feminine Boy.
  • Mirror Character:
    • At first glance they seem like an in-universe expy of Amy and Samey, but Kitty has much higher self-esteem and Emma softens as the series progresses. Unlike Amy, who was willing to let Samey fall to her death in "So, Uh, This Is My Team", Emma is genuinely worried that Kitty could drown when she abandons her scuba gear to get unstuck from a rock pile in "Bahamarama".
    • Emma is this to Sky: both are (ambiguously) Asiannote , driven, born competitors doing their best to focus on the contest and the ultimate prize, explicitly saying when pressed that they're not in it for relationships … and around the middle of their series, begin falling for an Ambiguously Brown fellow contestant who also really likes them back, which threatens to throw their single-minded focus on winning out of whack.
    • Kitty is practically an Asian version of Lindsay with a significant intelligence boost. Both Lindsay and Kitty are cute, peppy girls who make friends very easily and have to deal with an uptight Ice Queen for a partner (Heather for Lindsay, and Emma for Kitty). Both also share the same voice actress.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Beyond Emma's butt shots cited above, both are shown in bikinis twice (especially Kitty).
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • Emma gets hit with this hard after she dumps Noah to focus on the competition, sending him into an Angst Coma. 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 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 continues into the next episode, where they called Carrie and Devin their friends, and Kitty still felt bad about it and apologized again.
  • Never My Fault: Emma's attitude towards Kitty in "None Down Eighteen To Go - Part 2" and "Bjorken Telephone".
  • Nice Girl: Kitty is one of the nicest contestants on the show, easily befriending the Adversity Twins, Best Friends, the Reality Pros, and the Surfer Dudes.
  • Not So Above It All: Once Emma gives in to her feelings for Noah, she turns out to be a tad obsessive and needs Kitty to rein her in.
  • Oblivious to Love:
    • Despite how obvious it is, it takes a while for Emma to realize Noah has a crush on her.
    • Despite otherwise being great at detecting love, Kitty didn't seem to notice Mickey's crush on her after she defended him from Taylor. It's likely that she wasn't interested in him in the romantic sense.
  • One-Steve Limit: Emma shares her name with Emma, one of the fourth generation contestants of Total Drama Island (2023).
  • Only Sane Woman: Despite her Genki Girl status, Kitty seems to be the more straight-laced, sensible member of the team, especially when Emma gets more focused on Noah rather than the race. She's been prone to doing facepalms a lot (even moreso than Emma as she did it twice in the series) and even making sarcastic comments whenever she feels annoyed. It's especially noticeable when you compare her to much more immature teams like the Surfer Dudes and the Rockers.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Kitty isn't the one taking the Victoria Falls selfie, and we know she enjoys taking these herself.
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: 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.
  • Plot Hole: 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). A possible explanation for this was that producers allowed Kitty to use her phone but restricted her to just taking photos and selfies with it.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kitty's more excitable, optimistic personality makes her the red to Emma's more serious, competitive blue.
  • Rescue Romance: 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".
  • Reused Character Design: Kitty's legs, including her skirt and boots, are just a recolor of Lindsay's.
  • Running Gag: Kitty taking selfies and Emma swooning over Noah after they become an Official Couple.
  • Selfie Fiend: How Kitty acts throughout the race, much to Emma's dismay.
  • Series Continuity Error: Kitty says in "French is an Eiffel Language" that Emma broke up with her previous boyfriend Jake two years prior to the series. But in "Hello and Dubai" she says to Owen that it's been three years since the breakup. Possibly justifiable if the breakup happened towards the end of a calendar year and the show proper takes place close to the start of the current year. In other words, the calendar could indicate it was on its third year, but the actual time elapsed is still closer to two years, and people do sometimes measure the passage of time one way or the other when talking about past events.
  • Shipper on Deck: Kitty becomes this for Emma and Noah, as well as Carrie and Devin. She and Owen end up bonding over the former.
  • Sibling Team: An older and younger sister pairing.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: 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.
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: Emma ends up becoming this towards Noah.
  • Skewed Priorities: Even in a dire situation, such as sliding down a steep hill with a greased rhea, Kitty will try and slip a selfie in.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Kitty behaves like an Asian Airhead, but several episodes demonstrate that she can take responsibility when the situation calls for it. In fact, Word of God states that Kitty is actually quite intelligent but, unlike Emma, does not feel the need to show off this trait all the time. This is especially prominent in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" where she's the first one to pick up on the two crushes around her.
  • So Proud of You: Kitty said this to Carrie when the latter decided to reveal her feelings for Devin.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: They have had quite a lot of focus, especially on Emma's attitude towards Kitty, and that's before Emma's romantic plot with Noah.
  • Super Not-Drowning Skills: After an incident when she got stuck in a swimming pool (see below), Kitty has been practicing this; she claims she can hold her breath for four minutes easily. This enables her to get herself free when she gets stuck underwater and has to leave behind her SCUBA gear.
  • Swapped Roles: 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.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Emma becomes noticeably less bossy and nicer to Kitty over the course of the season.
  • Tsundere: Emma, to her own dismay, even as a Type B (due to her deeply caring and considerate personality). Kitty's trying to help her be more straightforward about the former's softer side.
  • Wardrobe Malfunction: Emma mentions that at her seventh pool party birthday, Kitty's bikini got caught in the drain, which ended up being torn off and sucked in. This incident motivated Kitty to practice holding her breath underwater (see above).
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: It's unknown whether Kitty's name is simply a nickname for her real name or not.
  • The World Is Just Awesome: 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.
  • You Need to Get Laid: Downplayed. Kitty strongly believes that Emma needs a new boyfriend.

    Chet and Lorenzo, Stepbrothers 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrcl.png
Left: Chet. Right: Lorenzo
Voiced by: Darren Frost (Chet), Carlos Díaz (Lorenzo)
Placement: 10th/11th
Eliminated in: Episode 14

Two irresponsible stepbrothers who loathe each other more than anything else. Their newly-married parents entered them in the race in the hopes it would help them get along, but even that won't stop them from constantly shoving, yelling, and arguing between themselves.


  • Acrofatic: Chet, thanks to his gymnastics classes.
  • Ambiguously Brown: Lorenzo. Word of God says he's Italian.
  • Arch-Enemy: An interesting case in that they're each other's archenemies at least until they learn to get along after finding common ground.
  • Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: Their insults towards one another are very immature, one of which is Chet calling Lorenzo a "poo head".
  • Blended Family Drama: Their character arc consists of Chet and Lorenzo's single parents, who married one year before the start of the show. They still hate each other at the beginning of the race. Their parents forced them to take part in order to learn how to get along. They spend most of their episodes fighting each other, but in the end, it works out when they discover they have more in common than they initially thought.
  • Book Dumb: Blatantly obvious when they can't tell the difference between an albino rabbit (after seeing a photo of it) and a kangaroo.
  • Butt-Monkey: Not as much as Dwayne or Devin, but they're still pretty unlucky.
  • Commonality Connection: It's obvious to everyone else that they're both geeky Man Children, but they only realize how many interests they share after getting locked in a cell together forces them to actually talk to each other instead of just volleying insults.
  • A Day in the Limelight: "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" and "Down and Outback" feature the Stepbrothers more extensively as they reconcile and go from worst enemies to best friends.
  • A Death in the Limelight: Prior to their eliminations, their screen time is vastly extended in the last two episodes they're in.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: They get eliminated in "Down and Outback", but by then they've become best friends, which was what their parents hoped them entering the race would achieve.
  • Enemy Mine: They're initially bitter enemies who have been forced to work together against their will by their parents. During the early episodes they're more focused on insulting or fighting rather than partaking in the game, and it's a wonder how they managed to get the complete all the challenges. This changes in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion" where they finally discover they share the same interests, come up with the same ideas, and finally learn to work together.
  • Everyone Has Standards: They wanted to capture a kangaroo thinking that it's an albino, but decide to leave it alone as they didn't want to harm it.
  • Expy: Of Brennan Huff and Dale Doback, albeit much younger.
  • Fan Disservice: Chet wears a coconut bra in Hawaii, likely just to troll Lorenzo.
  • Fat and Skinny: Chet is the fat to Lorenzo's skinny.
  • Fat Bastard: Unlike other round characters like Owen who invert this trope, Chet plays this trope straight. He's rude in general and fights with his brother before they stop hating each other.
  • Fiery Redhead: Chet has ginger hair and a fiery temper, especially if you insult his mother.
  • Flat Character: They do nothing except fight and yell at each other. By the time they make up and show off more character traits, they end up eliminated.
  • Geek: They're both obsessed with video games, which is one of the factors that allow them to have their Earn Your Happy Ending moment.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Chet, according to Word of God. It is showcased when Lorenzo called their parents jerks, and Chet pushes Lorenzo telling him, "Don't call my mom a jerk, jerk!"
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Chet and Lorenzo's relationship evolves into this during the Australia legs of the race as they realized that they got more in common with each other than they previously thought.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Chet is actually competent at gymnastics, much to the surprise of Lorenzo.
    • Lorenzo claims that he knows karate, although we have yet to see him in action. However, according to Word of God, he's not very good at it.
    • Despite hating each other, they managed to make it almost halfway through the race without ever being in danger of elimination.
  • Jerkass: They're mean and rude, even to other teams.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Become this after they start getting along. While they still have a mean streak, they started caring for each other, and sometimes act nice to the others, like inviting The Rockers to play video games with them after both teams got eliminated (but not before laughing at The Rockers when they discover they're eliminated as well...).
  • Kiddie Kid: Despite being 17 years old, they both act like petulant, squabbling children, even when they start getting along they behave very much like little kids down to roleplaying their imagination. 13 year old Junior is even more mature than they are and even asks just how old they are when he sees their childish fighting.
  • Lean and Mean: Lorenzo is the skinny one and is just as rude and mean as Chet.
  • Leitmotif: They came up with their own theme song.
    We're the Stepbrothers, the Stepbrothers!
  • Locked in a Room: Getting locked up in Geelong Prison helps the Stepbrothers to bury the hatchet.
  • Mama's Boy: Chet is implied to be one, as even a subtle insult about his mother completely sets him off and he even shoves Lorenzo for it.
  • Manchild: Word of God says they're 17 years old, but the two act really immature. Junior asks how old they are after hearing one of their arguments. Even after they become friends, they still act like overgrown kids who role-play their imagination.
  • Master of None: According to Word of God, Chet is completely average in every field.
  • Mirror Character: Their sibling dynamic is similar to Amy and Samey. Like Amy and Samey, Chet and Lorenzo are siblings on the same team, can't get along with each other, and ended up being eliminated at the same time. However, Chet and Lorenzo actually learned to bury the hatchet and eventually become best friends, while Amy and Samey's conflict has yet to be resolved.
  • Odd Friendship: They befriend the friendlier and more laid-back Rockers while both teams are walking home after their double-elimination in "Down and Outback".
  • Satellite Character: Both of them have virtually no purpose other than to bicker and fight with each other, aside from the occasional one-time conversation with another character, or hanging with the Rockers in their elimination episode.
  • Shout-Out: The design on Chet's shirt resembles Avenged Sevenfold's Skull Bat logo.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Step-sibling in this case.
  • Sibling Team: Or rather, a step-sibling team.
  • The Slacker: Both of them.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: According to Word of God, Lorenzo has no skills or abilities to match his attitude.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While all of the other teams can get along to some degree, they absolutely hate each other. However, in Australia, they eventually learn to get along.
  • Too Dumb to Live: In "Down and Outback", they mistake a kangaroo for an albino rabbit and waste time chasing it instead of doing the challenge or looking for the real albino. They end up being the last team to reach the Chill Zone and are sent home alongside the Rockers.
  • Troll: They do this to one another until they learn to get along.
  • Tsundere: When things go right because they worked together (between insults), they can't bring themselves to accept the truth.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: 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.
  • Volleying Insults: Pretty much any conversation they have consists of this before they learn to get along.

    Geoff and Brody, Surfer Dudes 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrbg_7.png
Left: Brody. Right: Geoff
Voiced by: Dan Petronijevic (Geoff), Scott McCord (Brody)
Placement: 1st/2nd*
Eliminated in: Episode 26*

While Geoff has experience with reality shows from his time on Total Drama (where he met his longtime girlfriend and fellow surfer Bridgette, whom he originally planned on bringing to the race), Brody is new to this and relies on his buddy to guide him. Both love surfing, chilling and being the best of friends.

See Total Drama Killer Bass for tropes specific to Geoff during his time on Total Drama.


  • All-Loving Hero:
    • 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. 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, return the favor 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.
  • Amazon Chaser: Brody is attracted to MacArthur, likely for this reason. Unfortunately for him, she doesn't return his affection until the end of the Surfers ending.
  • Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: In "Got Venom" they run towards a bunch of komodo dragons that treed Sanders and MacArthur, only to run away and get treed themselves.
  • Balloon Belly: Brody gets one in "Bahamarama" as after the leaving the show he had filled the void of not asking MacArthur out, with burritos.
  • Big Damn Heroes: They arrive just in time to save Emma, whom they considered part of their 'alliance', from falling to her death in "Ca-Noodling".
  • Big Eater: Both of them easily finish their pork 'n beans first in "Little Bull on the Prairie".
  • The Bus Came Back: 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.
  • Came Back Strong: After returning to the show, they manage to do pretty well in the challenges; if the ending where they win is counted, then they were the first to reach the last three chill zones.
  • Camp Straight: Geoff and Brody are not ashamed of doing non-masculine activities. Combined with the fact that Geoff loves cooking as shown in his time on Total Drama, Geoff and Brody both wear pink, and a lot of Ho Yay went on between them during the race. However, Geoff states that he is still dating Bridgette and initially planned on taking her to the race and Brody developed a crush on MacArthur.
  • Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: 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.
  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Geoff plays this role for Brody on occasion.
  • Comfort Food: 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.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Both of them have their moments of this.
    • Brody might be slow most of the time but he still managed to survive being electrocuted constantly by a motor boat engine, albeit it took him an entire episode to recover. Later he wrestles a crocodile to make him cough up 6 catfish that he, Geoff, and their super team needed for a challenge, according to him and Geoff it wasn't the first time he had to do it either.
    • Their biggest moment is winning the million dollars when they come back after the Best Friends are forced to withdraw due to an injury. In their ending, not only do they win, they were the first to arrive at all of the last three chill zones.
  • The Ditz: They openly acknowledge they're not bright and probably the least intelligent team. Geoff's always been like this, but when compared to his time on Total Drama it appears as though he's lost most of his brain cells, to the point where he makes Lindsay looks like a genius in comparison. Brody mentions that he was on the swim team for all six years of high school, meaning he was held back twice.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: What's a better ending than being eliminated, coming back, AND winning the race?
    • It’s an even happier ending for Geoff after being eliminated in the first two seasons of Total Drama and not being included in the later seasons he finally becomes a finalist and potentially wins the race.
  • Establishing Character Moment: They compliment the Adversity Twins during the first Either/Or, setting them up as the nice guys of the race.
  • Extreme Omnivore: 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 a dude who doesn't have any tastebuds.
  • Flat Character: Geoff has a lot less character complexity when compared to his time on Total Drama, being reduced to idiot surfer dude, while Brody doesn't fare much better with a near identical personality. The only plot they received was Brody's crush on MacArthur, and their friendship being challenged due to the Ice Dancers' manipulation, otherwise they largely stayed as background characters which makes them being finalists all the more noticeable and odd.
  • Formerly Fit: Brody really let himself go with burritos after they were eliminated. This is subverted in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars" when he somehow loses all those extra lbs.
  • Fun Personified: They're all about having a good time.
  • Genius Ditz: Brody starts to become a lot more helpful in the last challenges of the competition.
  • The Ghost: In "None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1", Geoff more or less states that Bridgette would have been his partner for the race if she didn't have obligations surfing in Australia. Bridgette is mentioned a few more times by Geoff, but never shows up, not even for a cameo when the race goes to Australia in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion".
  • The Glomp: When they come in first, the two embrace and sometimes include Don, who doesn't really like it.
  • Groin Attack: 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.
  • Harmless Electrocution: 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.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Their friendship purposely invokes a bromance, with Brody once saying he'd marry Geoff all over again after the Bridal Carry 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". Their original team label was even gonna be the Bromance Bros.
  • Hidden Depths: 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.
  • History Repeats:
    • Brody's injury in "None Down, Eighteen To Go - Part 1" is very similar to Geoff's in "Up The Creek". Then it happens to Brody again in the finale, and he recovers by eating the same banana he got in the first episode.
    • A subversion: This isn't the first time Geoff came in 6th place... but it is the first time he came back.
  • Iron Butt-Monkey: Brody suffers from several Amusing Injuries during the race, but not to the same extent as Jacques, Devin, or Dwayne.
  • Keet: They're enthusiastic about pretty much everything.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: They've both shown to be a little dimwitted but never the less they are very kind and easy to get along with.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: The good kind. 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: Geoff and Brody are very affable guys.
  • Magnetic Hero: They make friends very easily and get along well with most of the other teams.
  • Manchild: Both Geoff and Brody are shown to be this in the race through their immature behavior as shown in the Transylvania leg of the race.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Brody serves as the feminine boy to MacArthur's masculine girl. Brody is sensitive and extremely friendly with his partner, and MacArthur is the complete opposite.
  • Meaningful Name: How fitting is it that a guy named Brody shares such a close bromance with Geoff?
  • Nice Guy: They're both very friendly and are happy to help out the other teams.
  • Nice Guys Finish Last: Averted. The power of nice lead the Surfers to victory!
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: For all of Scott McCord's roles in the race, Brody's the nice to Jacques's mean and Owen's in-between.
  • Out of Focus: Despite being the team that ended up interacting with the most characters, they never had a major storyline and just went through the race doing their own thing.
  • Ow, My Body Part!: Brody after his calf cramped. Both times.
  • Platonic Declaration of Love: They celebrate victories by yelling a variations 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.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: One of the season's funnier teams.
  • The Power of Friendship: They believe in this, and consider it to be the only tactic they need.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Both of them literally wear the color and are not embarrassed by things that are perceived as non-masculine.
  • Satellite Character: Despite the Surfer Dudes lack of focus or Character Development, long time Total Drama fans are at least well aware of Geoff's characteristics from the previous show. This makes Brody lacking in personality other than being a good friend of Geoff and his crush on MacArthur.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Brody's more prone to crying and being frightened than Geoff.
  • Ship Tease: Brody has developed a crush on MacArthur. She's flattered by it, and tells him to call her in the ending where the Surfers win. Though fittingly, she doesn't acknowledge him in the ending when the Cadets win.
  • Skewed Priorities: 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.
  • Surfer Dude: Their team label.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Brody is very similar to Tyler, the universe definitely thinks so. Otherwise, his personality is very much similar to Geoff. Speaking of which, Geoff seems to resemble a male version of his fellow classic competitor Lindsay thanks to his increased stupidity.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Geoff's performance on Total Drama was laughable. Although he made it to the final six in his initial season, he didn't win any challenges or contributed to his team much. His subsequent season was even less impressive, as he and Bridgette were too busy making out than competing, leading to their elimination in the second episode. However, in this series, Geoff has shown significant improvement. Despite not having competed since "Total Drama Action," he actively engages in the competition alongside Brody and successfully reaches the finale.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: Geoff was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's lost a considerable amount of brain cells since his time on Total Drama. And he's still the smarter member of the team.
  • Transplant: Geoff returns from Total Drama.
  • True Companions: So much so that when the Ice Dancers tried to turn them against each other, it only strengthened their friendship.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Brody has a fear of sharks.
  • The World Is Just Awesome: Since they're both Fun Personified 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.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: In "Ca-Noodling", 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. That is, until they get brought back a few episodes later.

Left: Gerry. Right: Pete
Voiced by: David Huband (Gerry, Pete in revival season 2) & Adrian Truss (Pete in Ridonculous Race)
Placement: 17th
Eliminated in: Episode 3

Two aging former tennis stars whose agents entered them in the race together in hopes of using their appearance to score some new sponsorship and merchandising deals. They have a longtime Friendly Rivalry and are always snarking at the other then laughing about it together.


  • Black Bead Eyes: Pete, who is one of four non-bespectacled characters in the franchise, along with Chris, DJ, and Rodney, to have them.
  • Cool Old Guy: Although they don't last long in the competition, they seem competent enough and were legends at the sport of tennis.
  • A Death in the Limelight: They get a lot more focus in their elimination episode.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Were mentioned in an episode of 6teen as tennis athletes years before this series premiered.
  • Enemy Mine: Well they are former rivals.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: They still can't set aside their differences and are too busy getting back at each other to play the game.
  • Friendly Rivalry: While they definitely have their moments of bickering and self-sabotaging just to one-up the other, they are described as this and they're usually affably teasing towards each other. They're even described as this trope in their introduction.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Gerry and Pete have known each other for decades. They were fierce rivals in the past but are shown to have a nicely developing friendship during the race, as their conflict with each other now mostly takes the form of insulting jokes towards each other.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: They not only mock each other, but everybody else as well. Though they're not as bad as many examples on the race.
  • Mooning: Discussed.
    Gerry: I haven't seen the moon in years.
    Pete: (stands up and points to his rear) I gotta moon for ya!
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted with Gerry, who shares the same name as Nichelle's stunt double.
  • Ow, My Body Part!: Pete after hurting his artificial knee.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: They spend most of their screen time cracking jokes.
  • Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: The oldest characters in the show, and extremely risqué and blunt.
  • Self-Deprecation: They'll rib on themselves just as much as they rib on everyone else.
  • Sleepyhead: After about 5 o'clock in the evening they start of get really sluggish and may need a nap.
  • Solid Cartoon Facial Stubble: Pete has brownish gray stubble running between his ears and taking a slight dip to pass under his nose.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Not as much as Chet and Lorenzo, but still presented.
  • Too Dumb to Live: When Gerry grabs the final clue on the zip line, he lets go of the t-bar and falls into Lake Ontario.
  • Underestimating Badassery: During the Paris episode, their plan was to be behind the Vegans and rely on them to find the way through the sewers, and then rush past them at the finish line. It doesn't start off well when the Vegans do not find the exit, but then during the cheese rowing part, where the Rivals expect that they will get ahead of them, the Vegans actually manage to be faster than them, which was not expected by the Rivals.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: They constantly insult and occasionally sabotage each other, but they still get along.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Kicked off three episodes in without getting much chance to do anything but rib at each other.

    Miles and Laurie, Vegans 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rrlm_7.png
Left: Laurie. Right: Miles
Voiced by: Emilie-Claire Barlow (Laurie), Katie Griffin (Miles)
Placement: 15th
Eliminated in: Episode 6

Two dedicated vegans, environmentalists, and animal rights activists who take granola hippie beliefs and values to all new levels. The two want to win The Ridonculous Race so that they can donate their prize money to various charities dedicated to animal rights and the environment.


  • Ascended to Carnivorism: They had to eat meat in Iceland to avoid elimination. Miles was horrified by this, and Laurie was pissed when she found out that it was a non-elimination leg, and she ate meat for nothing. However, in the following episode, Laurie starts to embrace her newfound carnivorism, and Miles berates her for it.
  • Author Avatar: Of writers Laurie Elliot and Miles Smith.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Laurie undergoes this twice. First swore to that the Karma gods would strike against Dwayne when he took her and Miles' fossil. Second when she discovers that she and Miles have been forced to eat meat for a no-elimination challenge and proceeds to attack Don.
  • Big "NO!": Miles, as their fossil slides away.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Miles, when Laurie says that they have to eat the Icelandic feast.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Zigzagged. Laurie and Miles do seem like genuinely nice, unselfish girls with a sincerely noble goal to protect the planet, but they're also somewhat preachy when it comes to their nature-preserving acts and many of their interactions with the other teams are negative despite their seemingly kind personalities.
    • For example, while Laurie had a right to be upset with Dwayne, she overreacted by swearing karma would hit him and his son and despite being a peace-lover, she gets violent and assaults Don after realizing that she ate meat for a non-elimination round.
    • Miles is a friend to Laurie, but she continuously shamed her for eating meat despite the fact that she had also eaten the meat and Laurie had already expressed her guilt over the act.
  • Body Horror: As a result of Jay accidentally knocking Laurie's face into the gloves of ants, her face gets badly bitten to the point it's all swollen, rendering her unable to speak or see properly.
  • Call It Karma: Laurie believes in this when she threaten to Dwayne Sr. that the Karma Goddess will get them for taking her and Miles' fossil.
  • A Death in the Limelight: They're heavily focused on in the two episodes prior to their elimination, especially Laurie who goes through a Trauma Conga Line.
  • Down to the Last Play: Three times. First in Morocco and second in Iceland. The third time in Brazil leads to their elimination.
  • Dreadlock Rasta: Laurie's hair is styled into dreadlocks, fitting her Granola Girl personality. They both try to use environmental friendly alternatives on some occasions.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • Miles is every bit as pacifistic and animal loving as Laurie, but after being nearly mauled alive by a shark at the south of France, she makes it pretty clearly she's taking sharks out of her preservation list, shocking Laurie.
    • Speaking of Laurie, she's a pacifist by nature, but said pacifism has its limits. When Dwayne accidentally steals their fossil during the Iceland challenge, Laurie curses him that the Goddess of Karma will make him pay, and when Don reveals to her and Miles that the round was non-elimination after they had just broken their morals and eaten animal meat in order to stay in the game, Laurie lunges at and beats the crap out of Don.
  • Eye Glasses: Miles's eyes take up her whole glasses, even when overlapping outside her head.
  • Fate Worse than Death: Played with. After their elimination, Don gingerly reports to the audience their flight crashed in an uncharted island full of cannibals, but according to Fresh TV, he was only joking. This is later affirmed in the finale, as both Vegan girls are in the peanut gallery.
  • Friend to All Living Things: They love animals and nature. They have dedicated themselves to conservation of all wildlife, though sharks are now off their-or at least Miles'-list.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Miles is typically used as a male name. This Miles is female.
  • Granola Girl: Don called them both granola-loving hippy-dippy friends. In Morocco alone, they didn't ride the camel and chose to bike the scooter.
  • Hellish Pupils: Laurie when making her Angry Face.
  • Heroic BSoD: After being forced to eat meat to avoid elimination.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Laurie and Miles are both great friends during the race having the fact that they are both vegans be the glue that keeps their friendship together.
  • Holier Than Thou: Downplayed, while they do come off as kind and peace-loiving, they also praise themselves for being advocates for Mother Nature and they didn't have many positive interactions with other teams (save Ellody during a very minimal scene together in the second episode) as Miles spurns Leonard's polite greeting and Laurie wished ill on Dwayne when he and Junior accidentally stole her's and Miles' fossil.
  • Hypocrite: Both of them have done some hypocritic acts during their run on the show.
    • Laurie states that she doesn't normally show negative emotions, yet she overreacts when Dwayne unknowingly stole hers and Miles' fossil, even wishing karma on him even though it was a genuine accident.
    • Miles gives Laurie a lot of flak over eating meat in the Icelandic challenge in spite of the fact that she also had to eat the meat.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Laurie invokes this on Dwayne, since he manages to get her fossil when she loses track of it. She even called this tripe "The Goddess Of Karma" .
  • Let Us Never Speak of This Again: When Laurie starts to freak out during the flight to Brazil upon being reminded of having to eat animal meat in order to stay in the game, Miles slaps her and tells her to focus on the game, telling her that what happened in Iceland, stays in Iceland.
  • The Load: After Jay accidentally bumps into Laurie from behind, he gets her whole face bitten by ants from the glove, making Miles having to carry the team by herself, especially during the feather uniform challenge, which get them to suffer a 30-minute penalty after coming in first place and unfortunately get them out from the race after Spud screams and startles them.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Thanks to her freckles, bare midriff, and wide hips, Laurie is among the more beautiful females of her season.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Laurie when coming to terms with the fact she ate meat when she didn't have to.
  • Nature Lover: Two vegans who respect the planet above anything else.
  • Never Bareheaded: They're always shown wearing a bandana and rastacap, respectively.
  • Never My Fault: They hope that karma will hit the Father & Son team for stealing their fossil, despite the fact that they let it go so they can thank the "fossil spirits".
  • New-Age Retro Hippie: From their outfits to their vocal mannerisms to their beliefs and activism, they're both textbook examples.
  • Nightmare Face: Laurie gives one to Dwayne after Don allows him and his son to check at the Chill Zone using the fossil that she and Miles found.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Laurie gives one to Don after learning that they ate meat to avoid elimination in a non-elimination leg.
  • Read the Freaking Manual: Incur a 30-minute penalty in the Amazon because Miles designed both components of their Carnival costume, when both members were supposed to take one each. Unlike most penalties, it costs them the game.
  • Running Gag: Mentioning they'll put an animal they encounter in their conservation list.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of Dawn. From the love of animals, dedication to Mother Nature, and constant mentioning of auras.
  • Tomboyish Name: Miles.
  • Trauma Conga Line: 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.
  • Walking Spoiler: As a result of their last episodes.
  • Youthful Freckles: Both of them.
