Line 3:
* [[Abandon Shipping]]: Courtney's Jerkass behavior in ''Action'' has caused many once die hard fans of Courtney/Duncan to jump ship to Gwen/Duncan or Alejandro/Courtney. Ironically, she got ''better'' in ''World Tour''...and the Courtney/Duncan ship was then canonically sunk.
* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: Sierra is severely injured and loses all her hair in the explosion that results in her elimination, and the destruction of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, immediately after winning invincibility, which was only caused by her making a birthday cake for Cody, who was completely ignored on his last birthday.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Some people felt very sorry for Alejandro after what happened to him in the finale, and Heather fans didn't like it when she lost her hair at the end of
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] - Every character on the show, even [[One-Scene Wonder|One Scene Wonders]].
* [[Badass Decay]]: Duncan's status as a [[Badass]] is inconsistent, but he sure gets his butt kicked a lot for a such a supposedly tough guy. Not only has he been beaten up by Courtney more times than you can count, but he has also been punched out in single blows by Harold and Cody. And whenever he tries taking on animals, he almost always loses. Mother Nature seems to hate him more than it does DJ.
Line 48:
* [[Elimination Houdini]]: Happens all the time.
** The most extreme example would be Izzy, who is actually brought back into the competition ''after'' being eliminated, twice in two different seasons.
**
** Heather also does this numerous times in the first season, often avoiding elimination by either winning invincibility or somehow manipulating someone else into being sent home. Some of this is due to her [[Magnificent Bastard|magnificent bitchiness]], other times she just gets ''ridiculously'' lucky.
** Owen is often seen as this, staying on the show simply for not having any enemies, despite often contributing nothing to his team.
** In ''World Tour'', Chris starts acting as if every episode is an elimination, and only revealing that it is not after the votes have been counted at the fake elimination ceremony. This happens ''way'' too many times, and causes one of these each time. The one that stands out in particular is {{spoiler|Heather, who would have been eliminated at the end of the Am-AH-zon Race, but a reward challenge was declared after the vote happened. She won.}}
Line 92:
** Chef Hatchet can qualify on occasion, especially in "Revenge of the Island", when Chris {{spoiler|has the contestants ride his go-karts}}, being fully aware that that would upset him.
* [[Jerk Sue]]:
** Courtney in ''Total Drama Action''. I mean, all of a sudden, she wins her lawsuit and reveals that she can {{spoiler|sing like an angel (to be fair, her [[Emilie Claire Barlow|VA]] is a vocalist in [[Real Life]]), cook poisonous fish, do mixed martial arts, wrestle a shark, play the guitar, handle a bunch of lawyers, put a go-kart together, figure out a clue that no one else was able to, make up a cool cheer on the spot, wrestle Duncan and win, win almost every single challenge after her ''Action'' debut, manipulate everybody so everything turns out in her favor, keep herself from being voted off and make Justin ''and'' Duncan fall in love with her?}}
** Some people view Duncan as this too, especially by ''World Tour.''
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Almost everyone. Duncan, Gwen, Cody, Noah, and Bridgette would be the most prominent examples though.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Heather has her moments of being this, masterfully subverting the [[Asian Airhead]] trope by being a gifted strategic mastermind.
** The more straightforward example is Alejandro. He even seems aware of this fact, as his [[Villain Song]] "This Is How We Will End it" depicts him in a role he's quite fitting for, a puppetmaster controlling wooden puppets of several of the other characters he's manipulated and eliminated.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Fans who dislike or hate Zoey accuse her of being this.
Line 122:
** Gwen and Courtney also have this problem. Some fans on different sides of the CxDxG conflict believe the girl they support is entirely blameless.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]:
** [[Jerk Sue|Courtney]] to [[Magnificent Bastard|Heather]] as the [[Alpha Bitch]] in ''Action''.
** Some say Sierra is "the poor man's Izzy". Of course, Izzy fans were ''not'' [[The Scrappy|happy about this comparison]].
** Possibly inverted/parodied with Mike, he describes himself in his audition tape as "scrappy" (though he means in stature, not [[The Scrappy|the other type]]), whereas currently he seems to be one of the most popular newcomers amongst fans.
Line 167:
* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Inverted. ''Total Drama'' is generally more well-known than its predecessor, ''[[6teen]]''.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:
** The choice of main antagonists for each season. Heather (Asian) in
** The Trent/Gwen/Duncan/Courtney love rhombus could also be read as unintentionally saying that if your partner has a [[Platonic Life Partners|best friend of the opposite sex]] they'll end up cheating on you.
** Trent's [[Super OCD]]. Apparently if you have OCD then that makes you a complete and utter weirdo, perhaps even bordering on an insane sociopath.
