Personalities:

Chris McLean: Chris McLean is the primary host of Total Drama. He is an overwhelming narcissist, with little concern for the well-being of his contestants – and even sometimes best friend Chef Hatchet as well. Chris feeds off the pain of the teenagers, physical and emotional and strives to keep the drama in Total Drama alive at all times. He is a very selfish and arrogant man as he does not care about anyone or anything but money, higher ratings, and personal pleasure gained from the pain and suffering of others. Chris also enjoys messing with and preying upon the relationships of the contestants for his own personal gain as he loves it when contestants bicker, argue, and fight amongst each other. He appears to have gotten increasingly sadistic as the series has progressed, with the challenges turning from humiliating and occasionally dangerous, to being full-on life-threatening. While he continues to elaborate that it is for high-ratings, in later seasons it seems he is more concerned with causing pain than actually increasing the popularity with viewers. In The Final Wreck-ening, he excitedly explains that the challenge was so dangerous the network rejected the initial proposal - and he lies about shutting it down. However, in one instance, Chris does actually begin to worry that the contestants may die (but only because this would result in no show, and thus no paycheck to support his luxurious lifestyle). Despite the negative points of being a reality show host, Chris loves his job and the fame that comes with it. He enjoys spending life in luxury, including catching some rays in his tanning bed and relaxing in his jacuzzi. He has tried other activities like hosting a cooking show and being in a boy band, but all of them have been ill-fated. Chris is frequently seen in various costumes when introducing challenges, with Chef often dressed up as well to coordinate with him. He is highly rebellious against the network lawyers. On a few occasions, he has shown to be somewhat childish as well, whining when he is displeased about something.

Chef Hatchet: Chef Hatchet is the aggressive and military-tough sidekick of Total Drama host Chris. He provides the meals for the contestants, disgusting slop which has been slammed by all but a few competitors, but even they have complained about it at one point or another. However, some episodes have suggested that Chef actually does have exceptional culinary skills, meaning he prepares disgusting meals for the contestants on purpose. He will take over as primary host when Chris is absent or when he is told to do so. Given that both derive equal enjoyment from harming the teenagers, it is hardly a far cry from the normal routine. Chef is bigger, louder, and much more confrontational and intimidating than Chris, who prefers a different outlet of striking fear into the contestants. However, Chef still has standards and will sometimes express admiration or even concern for the contestants, only to be ignored by Chris. He frequently cross-dresses, which garner ridicule from everybody present. Although Chris calls him a friend, they have had more than their share of negative interactions throughout the series. Chris's selfishness and neglect of the competitors will sometimes be replicated in his treatment of Chef. Chef is not at all hesitant to call the other out and, in some instances, he has threatened or come close to leaving the show because of it. Chris is always extremely against this idea. Chef is multi-talented, having been seen doing many things skilfully while Chris introduces challenges. He has claimed to have fought in a war, which could explain his current militaristic approach to others. In the reboot, Chef is a lot more caring to the contestants and frequently acts as a voice of reason when Chris takes things too far, possibly because he may have softened with age due to the reboot happening fifteen years after the show's beginning. Chef shows genuine concern for the contestants' safety, such as being worried about Wayne and Raj after they get badly injured and telling the contestants not to eat a 50 foot tapeworm for a challenge. However, he still retains some of his rudeness and berates the contestants at every elimination ceremony on what they did wrong.

Beth: Beth was born and raised on a farm with only animal friends and her parents to keep her company. Thanks to her background, she never developed proper social skills, even stating that her best friend is actually her pet pig, Bertha. She does anything for attention, and while she excels at getting others to stop and stare, it is more often than not for embarrassing reasons. Beth herself remains oblivious to this problem. She also tends to be a very dependent person, most likely caused by her desire for everyone to like her. Her naïve ways make her an ideal target for antagonists like Courtney, Heather, and Justin. Over time, Beth learns to stand up for herself and stays strong all the way to the end. Overall, Beth is considered to be a sweet and trustworthy girl among the cast who learns to be strong and independent.

Bridgette: Bridgette is a calm, compassionate surfer girl who loves animals as much as she loves the water. She is a vegetarian, finding animals to be her friends, not food. In contrast to her aquatic aptitude, Bridgette is known for being very clumsy on land, which often leads to severe results. Many aspects of Bridgette's character are revealed in Brunch of Disgustingness, when she refuses to give up her principles, no matter what. When she joins the remaining Screaming Gophers females, she faces one of her biggest challenges in getting them to work as a team. She believes in "building bridges, not walls", even when the competition is not a factor. Through Bridgette's spirit and determination, she always reaches her goal, whether it is getting her team to unite or anything else she sets her mind to. Bridgette commonly shows disapproval for unnecessary violence and conflict, as seen when she was reluctant to shoot paintballs in Paintball Deer Hunter and disapproved of DJ, Duncan, and Geoff pranking Harold. According to Bridgette herself, she cannot stay mad at someone for very long, at most holding a "six-minute" grudge. In the Aftermath, she is shown to value her friendships with the other contestants as ego-driven Geoff tortures the eliminated cast members becoming somewhat of a "Chris Clone". Most notably, even when she is angry with Gwen for her actions, she still warns her about an anvil that will fall on her if she lies.

Cody: Cody is a flirtatious, tech-savvy geek who sees himself as a ladies' man instead of a nerd. He joined the show primarily to be with the "cool" kids; his own kind, or so he thinks. His self-named "manly charms" and "smooth moves" are famously not so smooth, failing him around the other contestants such as Trent in Not Quite Famous, when he tries to imitate Trent's sitting style only to fall over. Cody's usual tactic of getting women involves him using pick-up lines that sound irresistible to him, but irritating to everyone else. Most of the girls he flirts with usually end up annoyed or amused. Cody likes to think that he is the "cool guy," but his biographies suggest that he is very intelligent. When he's not being perverted, he can be quite clever and crafty, as seen in episodes like Dodgebrawl, Total Drama Drama Drama Island, and Hawaiian Punch. It is highly suggested through Cody's huge crush on Gwen that once he becomes truly interested in someone, he will be loyal and will do whatever it takes to make them happy - even give them up to another person. Cody is a sweet boy, and shifts to the receiving end of a major fixation in Total Drama World Tour. Total Drama fan-turned contestant Sierra joins to his hip, despite his continuous protests. Eventually, however, Cody comes to value her devotion and sees her as his best friend. This is further supported in the first episode of season four, where Cody is being hugged by Sierra, and, although she would have disturbed him before, he is now smiling, and is now happy.

Courtney: As a high achiever and a perfectionist, Courtney has a polarizing personality, but at her core, she thinks of herself as a born leader, which often leads to her not letting others have a chance to take control. Although she is extremely bossy, competitive, critical, and even manipulative at times, she can be civil and polite to her fellow competitors under specific circumstances and in the beginning of the series. Such examples were in Phobia Factor where Courtney scolds her team for mocking Tyler's fear, Basic Straining, where she stands up for Harold against Duncan and Geoff, and in Jamaica Me Sweat, when she is the only one to acknowledge the injured Izzy and Owen. As an overachiever, she has a tendency to overreact when things go wrong, and drives herself crazy in order to get what she wants. She has become notorious among the contestants for constantly reminding them of her counselor-in-training experience, resulting in their constant annoyance. However, throughout her four competing seasons, the severity of Courtney's behavior becomes extremely antagonistic. When she wants something, she will fight to the death to get it, with no regard for the safety of others. She has displayed in several instances that she values the prize money over her closest relationships, going as far as risking their lives. Her unscrupulous priorities coupled with her harsh tendencies have resulted in her becoming a very disliked contestant among her fellow competitors as well as someone that is not truly friendly with anyone.

DJ: DJ can be described as a "teddy bear". While his large size can make him look intimidating, his true demeanor is anything but that. He is actually a very soft spoken and sensitive guy who is very compassionate and kind to those around him. He is often seen sleeping with a teddy bear and tends to cry or overreact to many minor situations. However, DJ wants the best for everyone and values the safety of everyone else more than winning a challenge. He loves animals, and has adopted a few pets during his time on Total Drama. Unfortunately, they don't always return his affections. Many of DJ's encounters with animals end with one side sustaining injury. His compassionate behavior has made him one of the most popular competitors among the cast. He sometimes can be too sensitive and easily frightened, which interferes with his challenge performances. DJ holds his mother to the highest authority, crediting her for making him the way he is and names her as his best quality. She is also responsible for a huge decision DJ once had to make, when he is haunted by an illegal deal. He loves cooking and the food he has crafted has been enjoyed by a majority of the cast.

Duncan: Duncan is the definition of a bad boy, being a crafty, cool juvenile delinquent who comes from a long line of policemen and policewomen. His dad, mom, uncle, aunt, grandma and cousins are all cops. He knows many tactics from his time spent in juvenile detention centers. He can carve a picture of a skull into a tree trunk and lift great amounts of weight (such as Owen, who is more than three times his size). He has a brooding, obnoxious, sarcastic and flirtatious personality, flirting with Heather despite his apparent dislike of her and mocking Courtney whenever she gets near him. He also gives Courtney the pet name "Princess" to tease her. Duncan loves to break rules to better suit himself, but sometimes the consequences are worse than what he intended. Duncan also loves to make fun of the other contestants and pull several pranks on them, with Harold being his main victim (later intensifying it due to a certain move Harold made in Total Drama Island). He considers himself as being "straight with people", rarely pretending to be what he isn't. As a result, he has been shown to either get along with or make fierce enemies with his fellow competitors, although it is more than often the latter. Despite his mean attitude and demeanor, Duncan is actually a good person at heart, although he will never admit it to anyone else. Such moments displaying this side of him include finding a new bunny for his friend DJ after Geoff loses the first one, carving his and Courtney's initials on wood, and defending Lindsay after she is betrayed by Heather. Some quality time with Harold also makes him consider ending his feud with him after so long, though this does not come to fruition. Arguably, these traits make Duncan more of an anti-hero than a villainous character. As a way to express his feelings for a girl he likes, Duncan uses his knife to either carve her name or her face or protect her during challenges. In Total Drama All-Stars, being on the Heroic Hamsters starts to bring out his nicer side (which infuriates him, as it ruins his "bad boy" image) but soon "proves" he is a bad boy again by blowing up Chris' "Cottage".

Eva: Although Eva is very competitive and physically strong, she is often overly violent and aggressive. She is also deranged and is known to have a short temper and violent ways of exhibiting her anger. Part of the reason she auditioned for Total Drama was to curb it, and she mildly has. She enrolled in anger management classes after her first elimination and has since shown that she is capable of making friends, albeit not very many. Eva is also very willing to admit when she has taken her anger too far and will admit when she is in the wrong. In general, she is not very emotional, and is almost never seen displaying feelings other than anger and indifference.

Ezekiel: Ezekiel is a naive country boy who was home-schooled at his farm and came with disgusting habits such as picking his nose in front of others. His lack of interaction with other kids has left him with incredibly poor social skills and a tendency to say and do things that rub people the wrong way, even if his intentions may be good. Ezekiel also has some rather warped viewpoints on life, mostly due to his parents. He initially believes that women are inferior to men and also seems to value money over his relationships. However, it appears that Ezekiel is simply repeating what his parents told him and that these are not his own ideas. Later in the series, he is seen interacting with several of the show's female contestants with no apparent animosity. Ezekiel has the dubious distinction of being the first contestant ever voted off in the show's history. When he returns as a contestant in Total Drama World Tour, he becomes extremely determined to redeem himself for his early elimination in Season 1 and his failure to compete at all in Season 2. Unfortunately, his bad luck continues and he is voted off first yet again. Humiliated and angry at his former teammates, Ezekiel refuses to accept his fate and becomes a stowaway in the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, living in the cargo hold for the entire season up until the plane's destruction. Over time, this has a drastic effect on his humanity and sanity, greatly altering his physical appearance into a green, clawed, bald, and deformed creature who is no longer capable of speaking and attacks anybody he considers a threat, especially Chris.

Geoff: Geoff may not be the smartest contestant in the bunch, but he has a positive attitude, loves people, and is always up for any challenge Chris has in store. He has a habit of addressing everyone as "dude" or "bro/brah," depending on the gender. He is extremely fun-loving, believing that life is short and if someone "doesn't stop and have a party every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, they're going to regret it." Geoff's big heart doesn't exclude even the more reserved. However, if given enough motivation, he won't hesitate to pay people back for their misdeeds. Geoff's caring way automatically clicks with Bridgette's, and upon the formation of their relationship, the two are inseparable ever since. In Total Drama Action, his popularity with the others is threatened when Geoff becomes a rude and egotistical "Captain Hollywood" with a personality similar to that of Chris. He mercilessly tortures the eliminated contestants on the Total Drama Aftermath chair for ratings, and even goes as far as insulting Bridgette, prompting her to end their union. It ends up being extremely short-lived though, as the group turns Geoff's own tool against him and reminds him of who he really is. He is also great at motivating people, especially his best friend Brody in the Ridonculous Race.

Gwen: Gwen is a goth girl and loner whose interests lie in art and astronomy. She is smart, independent, kind-hearted, and level-headed, stating her best quality is her inability to get excited over minuscule things. Her attitude at first seems very harsh and sarcastic, but she is not a bitter person. Rather, she is cautious of whom she lets into her life. Beneath her tough exterior, there is a kind heart that learns to trust as the series progresses. Gwen's guard lowers with each season. Despite her distaste for whatever "the sheep" are fond of, she does desire to be welcomed by the popular crowd. As revealed in "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon", she distances herself from it because she believes it is not where she belongs. She isn't afraid to stand her ground should her reputation take a hit. Gwen also suffers from claustrophobia, as seen in "Phobia Factor", "The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean", and "Zeek And Ye Shall Find". She believes strongly in karma and is also a huge fan of horror movies, the clichés of which will sometimes dictate how she performs in challenges.

Harold: A skinny, awkward-looking guy, Harold takes immense pride in his numerous "mad skills". Although he isn't much to look at and is often disrespected by many of the other contestants, including his own teammates, Harold is actually an incredibly resourceful young man of many talents and has won several challenges, both for himself and his various teams, impressing others in the process. Harold's geeky interests, his somewhat poor personal hygiene, and his know-it-all personality often make him an outcast among his fellow contestants and a perfect bullying target for Duncan, although he still gets to make many friends during the competition, even showing himself willing to befriend Heather when everyone dislikes her. Although Duncan hates Harold for his uncool ways and Harold hates Duncan for his bad attitude, it appears the two have a begrudging respect for one another at the same time. A telling confessional Harold makes in One Million Bucks B.C. points out that both are willing to put their differences aside when forced to work together. In Total Drama Island, Harold develops a crush on Leshawna, and although she is initially put off by the strange boy, she eventually comes to see him as a true and loyal friend. He has an interest in music, as evidenced by his skills in beatboxing, keyboard, and rapping. Harold is one of four boys to be in The Drama Brothers and sometimes interrupted the songs in Total Drama World Tour to add his own hip-hop section. Harold is also known to be very confident in his knowledge and will not hesitate to correct other contestants, or even Chris if they present information that is false or inaccurate.

Heather: Heather was Total Drama's first antagonist. Famously manipulative and vicious, Heather knows what she wants and exactly how to get it. Her strategic smarts have proven effective, eliminating a record amount of contestants. She competes with her sights only on the prize money and not on making friends or finding love, using others at her advantage and only being kind when she may ultimately be benefited. This makes it difficult to differentiate her original, mean girl ways from her true heartfelt moments. Such an example is in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, when a tearful Heather tells Harold that she doesn't like "being mean all the time" and it's not fun "being the one everyone hates". Hawaiian Punch, in which she becomes ecstatic at the thought of being the "good guy", confirms that there is at least some truth to her lament. However, even romance is not enough to tame Heather's desire for victory, as shown by her relationship with Alejandro. Over the course of the series, though, her cruel behavior seemed to have toned down. She tried to warn others about a greater threat, sympathize with others, and even felt awful for accidentally causing someone's life-threatening injuries. However, this is all short-lived and she returns back to her more-aggressive personality in Revenge of the Island. One of Heather's fatal flaws, at least in the beginning of the series, is her vanity. Portraying as a stereotypical rich and spoiled girl, Heather refuses to partake in any activities that may result in ruining her good looks, especially her hair, which earned the ire of one of her biggest rivals, Leshawna. Instead, she had other people do her work for her. One could say that until Lindsay's elimination in That's Off the Chain!, Heather shows little involvement in most of the challenges. This trait has since vanished after season one and she becomes more determined to win challenges by herself.

Izzy: Izzy, in Noah's own terms, is as "nutty as a ten-ton bag of pecans smothered in peanut butter, encased in a cashew the size of China". She is fun, but hard to handle and to the other contestants, more trouble than she is worth. Izzy has extraordinary athletic and fighting abilities, and also sticks herself to the wild environment. She is also number eight on the RCMP's "Most Wanted" list, presumably for accidentally blowing up a kitchen, but it is unclear whether she was telling the truth. As a running gag in the series, she will leave in an unusual way after being eliminated, such as her departure in a puff of smoke in Wawanakwa Gone Wild!. In Total Drama Action, she frequently changes her persona to another that she has created for her own amusement. She has also been shown to enjoy plotting bizarre solutions to various situations. Despite her strange ways of showing it, Izzy does care about others (mainly Owen) and means well even if her results don't reflect it.

Justin: Justin is a supermodel of incredible beauty. He is so handsome that he can make everyone around, whether they are male or female, human or animal, stop dead in their tracks at the mere sight of him. The second he is introduced as a contestant, Chris admits to everyone that the only reason Justin was selected to be on Total Drama was because of his looks, a fact which he is perfectly fine with knowing. Justin is extremely vain and often can be found looking at himself in his mirror. Throughout the first season, Justin speaks very little (only speaking in the first two episodes, and only speaking in a group in the second), so not much is known about him at first. When he returns for season two, a new side of his personality is seen. He is manipulative, using his looks to get something he wants or to get out of something he doesn't want to do on many occasions. He is also a bit lazy and consistently finds excuses to get out of doing challenges, believing them to be bad for his looks. Deep down, however, it appears Justin is insecure and not as confident as he often acts. Because of his vanity, he often overreacts to even the smallest injury to his face, instantly believing himself to be hideous, and jumping to wild conclusions, such as having to join the circus due to looking like a "freak." Justin is also perfectly aware of how much he relies on his looks and isn't anything without them, knowing he lacks both the intelligence and the talent to make it in the world. Despite his faults, Justin isn't necessarily always mean-spirited and tends to be friendly and social towards most of the other contestants.

Katie: Katie is most notable for being Sadie's best friend. They do everything together. They even wear the same outfits which Katie sewed herself. Like Sadie, Katie is a sensitive, cheerful, and kind-hearted girl. She's boy-crazy and when she has grown attracted to someone, she (and Sadie) will fawn over him endlessly. Katie can be considered as the more passionate one between her and her best friend. Her biography states that she "thinks with her heart," in contrast to Sadie who "thinks with her head." This may imply that Sadie could be more logical, whereas Katie has stronger relationships than Sadie. She is shown to have a bad sense of direction, a flaw which produces tragic results. Sadie's label of "The Sweet Girl's Friend" may imply that Katie is more independent and capable of making decisions on her own. However, given her thinking habits, they don't always turn out to be wise.

Leshawna: Leshawna is cheerful, confident and very thoughtful to those who are respectful to her, with large generosity. She treats everyone how she wants to be treated. Her main personality is her sassiness and her likeability amongst other campers, building firm relationships with those who she barely interacts with. As for those who treat her badly, she will infinitely hold grudges against them and try to avoid interactions with the subject. She is loyal and sassy, yet also can be affectionate and caring. If shown respect, she will reciprocate it indefinitely. Leshawna tells it like it is and has no fear whatsoever of calling people out on their mistakes. However, she is not one to be messed with, and will not hold back on someone who has wronged her. She will not hesitate to get physical if the matter calls for it, especially if her weight is the topic of discussion. She is not above revenge, be it on her own behalf or that of a friend, and is usually the bigger one in the situation, but is not afraid to speak her thoughts. She is extremely street-smart, and speaks in AAVE, while calling her fellow contestants nicknames such as "Baby", "Honey", and "Sugar" affectionately. She also isn't the worst at forming insults, if need be, especially when it comes to Heather and Alejandro. She will not hold back with her insults and doesn't care about the person who she is facing, as long she has her point across. She is good at certain physical competitions and has proven herself to be skillful during challenges, even though sometimes her large size can hold her back. Leshawna loves to dance, though the others (except Harold) do not take pleasure in watching her do so. While not on Total Drama, she volunteers to better the lives of other teenagers less fortunate than she is. A goal of hers is to one day open her own community center.

Lindsay: Lindsay's big heart and childlike innocence made her one of the most well-liked competitors on the show. Although the other contestants are frequently annoyed by her noticeable lack of intelligence, Lindsay has been shown to only have pure intentions. A major running gag on the show involves her having problems remembering the name of others, even if that person is her boyfriend. At times, such as in Dial M for Merger and Get a Clue, she goes beyond the expectation of her peers and demonstrates that she has the ability to solve problems and likes to be called "Her Hotness" as she does so. She shows herself to be an underdog and hates to be underestimated by her peers, doing her best to defeat them and prove herself. Unfortunately for Lindsay, due to her naïve and gullible nature, she is often tricked by false-friendships and easily manipulated by the show's antagonists.

Noah: Noah comes off as being sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic, and lazy to most; even though he is far from being unethical. He is extremely intelligent but finds physical activity as laughable as the ridiculous antics of some of his peers. His misanthropic attitude has a tendency to repel friendships, apart from Owen or to a lesser extent, Izzy. He seems to be closed off, not willing to disclose much about himself as he didn't give proper answers in his profile. Despite his weak body structure, Noah doesn't seem to be afraid to insult those who are clearly physically superior. Noah also uses Churchill wit frequently, a form of wordplay created by the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill, which consists of comparing one subject to another in a synonym of the other inside of yet another synonym. An example of this is in I See London..., when Noah says that Alejandro is like "an eel dipped in grease swimming in motor oil". Noah lays low until he has a chance to reveal the truth and strike. However, this is also his eventual downfall. Even in his last moments, Noah insists on relaying his message in a cryptic fashion. By the time he joins The Ridonculous Race, Noah has become more determined to win the game than he was in Total Drama, as he has grown tired of losing in every show he has been on. When Noah experiences love for the first time, he develops a personality change where he becomes lovestruck and immersed in his own world. He noticeably becomes a lot less stoic and more friendly. As a result of his newfound infatuation with Emma, Noah started doing nice things for people, such as helping Mickey in Hawaiian Honeyruin, which is uncharacteristic to the point Owen mistook it for a sign of him dying.

Owen: Owen is a huggable, upbeat, fun-loving, friendly, passionate, and optimistic competitor, who is basically in Total Drama to have fun, not for the grand prize. Owen's three biggest loves are eating, having a good time and passing a large amount of gas. Among his peers, he is arguably the most popular contestant of all time for his cheerful ways, optimistic viewpoints no matter what the situation is, and ability to see the best in other people. He even accomplishes the impossible in making a friend of Chris. This niceness however, also made him oblivious that some people don't like him back, even when they are offending him to his face. He always tries to help his team win challenges despite his physical and mental disadvantages. Usually enthusiastic at first, he often ends up failing, the majority in a variety of humorous ways. As a running gag in the series, Owen is frequently naked, farting, or sometimes both. He has mentioned on numerous occasions that his response to stress (among many other emotions), is eating (also known as stress-eating.) Owen is also a sensitive person, describing himself as feeling things on a deep level. He tells Heather in Trial By Tri-Armed Triathlon that he feels like no one listens to him. Additionally, when he is strapped to an electric chair in The Aftermath: III, during the "Truth or Electrocution" segment, Owen is so frightened of being shocked that he launches into a tirade of all his wrongdoings - before Geoff even asks him a question. Despite being one of the nicest contestants on the show, Owen has a dark side like most others. In Dodgebrawl, he fiercely competes in the dodgeball game, and even though it was likely due to the competition, Katie and Sadie still said that he acted mean during Haute Camp-ture. In addition, during Total Drama Action, broke from his mother's spending, Owen is offered money to come back from elimination and create drama between the remaining castmates. Although he feels bad about his job and initially doesn't do a very good job, he continues to "stir up the doo-doo" even when not instructed, claiming "it's hard going cold turkey". However, these things aside, Owen remains a good friend and teammate within his heart, as demonstrated by his regrets over trying to screw Harold up or how he befriends Noah despite their opposite personalities. By the time of the show's reboot, Owen has changed very little (both physically and psychologically) despite now being on his early thirties. While he still has troubles over keeping himself controlled with delicious food around and is implied to not have made any significant changes since the last time he competed in Total Drama or Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, Owen is still the big-loving guy he has been since his teens, greeting Chris and Chef as his friends and acting fairly nice to the newest competitors.

Sadie: Sadie is most notable for being Katie's best friend. They do everything together, including wearing the same outfits (which Katie sews herself). Like Katie, Sadie is a sensitive, cheerful, and sweet-natured girl. Sadie shows herself to be rather emotional, even more so than her best friend. She cries whenever she is upset, and lashes out at those who cause her anger. She is boy-crazy and when she grows attracted to someone, she and Katie will fawn over him endlessly. Sadie can be considered the more logical one between the two. Her biography even states that she "thinks with her head", contrasting to Katie who "thinks with her heart." Sadie was even the one who came up with the idea of their summer job, which involves making their own ice cream and selling it at the pier where they live. It is implied that Sadie is the more logical of the pair, but her silence during her time without Katie may imply that Sadie is the less independent of the two.

Trent: Trent is a relaxed, laid-back nice guy who tends to get along with everyone, even the immensely hated Chris. A straight-A student, he is intelligent but would rather not bring attention to it. He is known for his guitar skills, which impress several people throughout the series. He is also shown as being accident-prone, suffering a number of near-death experiences and mishaps during Total Drama Island, and sometimes in Total Drama Action. However, he usually recovers from these injuries by the next episode, showing himself to be a quick healer. As revealed in his biography, he also finds enjoyment in motorcycles and dreams of having his own bike shop one day. He is a ladies man, having dated two girls since joining Total Drama and apparently many others before. In addition, Katie, Sadie, Lindsay, Gwen, and Beth have shown attraction to him. His lucky number is nine, as revealed in season two. In the same season, he is under the impression that he is losing Gwen to Duncan, and as a coping mechanism, he keeps involving the number in his everyday life. Unfortunately, due to a series of misunderstandings, heartache, and angry teammates, Trent's fate is crippled. Depressed about the events at first, Trent eventually brushes them off with the help of many new female fans. He is also able to maintain an awkward but friendly moment with his ex-girlfriend, even after his worst fear comes true.

Tyler: Tyler is a sports fan who loves anything physical. Unfortunately, he is extremely uncoordinated, constantly putting himself and others at risk. Tyler can also be very dim at times, such as in Broadway, Baby! when Noah tells him to make a mental note of something, and Tyler says he doesn't have a pen. Despite his shortcomings, he is extremely determined, well-meaning, and even has abnormally strong fingers, which have aided him on several occasions. While he tries to present a strong masculine image of himself as a stereotypical jock, Tyler is actually fairly emotional and sensitive. In Phobia Factor, he is devastated at his elimination to the point where he cries, is capable of producing a surprisingly effeminate scream, and isn't as physical a person as he pretends to be, as he was extremely hesitant to fight both Courtney and Justin when the opportunities presented themselves. Along with being popular with his peers back home, Tyler expresses deep feelings for his girlfriend, Lindsay. He is hurt the most by her habit of forgetting who he is, and is overjoyed when she finally remembers him in Slap Slap Revolution. Tyler has also proven himself to be extremely loyal, shrugging off flirting from other women in favor of staying loyal to Lindsay, and going as far as risking being injured to save his friends.
