== Anne Maria ==
[[File:ROTI_Anna_Maria_7786.jpg|frame|The [[Jersey Shore]] Reject]]
{{quote|
Anne Maria is style-obsessed teen with a fake tan and hair that's strong as steel.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: She is immediately attracted to Mike's bad boy personality, Vito.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: It's hard to tell if she is intended to be Italian Canadian or Hispanic Canadian.
* [[Anime Hair]]: It's long, it's thick, it [[Hair Color Dissonance|may be]] [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|a deep purple]] and due to consistent applying of hairspray, it constantly stays up, and it's almost indestructible.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't insult her looks, take away her styling products, or [[Nobody Touches the Hair|touch her hair]].
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Veronica to Zoey's Betty with Mike as Archie, though Anne Maria is attracted to [[Loves My Alter Ego|Vito, Mike's Italian tough guy personality]], not his actual one.
* [[Book Dumb]]: She admits that she's no algebra expert in "Finders Creepers".
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Brainless? Yes. Beauty? In her (and Vito's) opinion, at least.
* [[Detached Sleeves]]
* [[Gainaxing]]: Though it's very subtle.
* [[Gold Digger]]: She was only attracted to Ezekiel because he had given her {{spoiler|a giant diamond (which turned out to be fake)}}.
* [[Hammerspace Hair]]
{{quote|
'''Anne Maria:''' Easy! I stuck it in my poof! ''(pulls out a can of hairspray)'' }}
* [[Hair Color Dissonance]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: ([[Accidental Pun|Pun not intended]]) She tends to get angered quickly, especially if any her aforementioned [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]] are pressed. She also tends to threaten to beat down whomever made her mad.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]:
** She used her spray-tan against Dakota and Staci.
** Her hair is thick and solid from all the primping and hairspray that solid objects just bounce off of it; Brick and Zoey use her hair as a shield during the snow fort fight in "Ice, Ice, Baby."
Line 49 ⟶ 42:
[[File:ROTI_Brick_7373.jpg|frame|The Cadet]]
{{quote|
Brick is a respectful military cadet who has been trained as a soldier and therefore thinks he's got a big chance at winning the competition. He strongly believes in teamwork and never leaving a man behind.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Big Ol' Unibrow]]
* [[Bring Me My Brown Pants]]: Wets himself in the dark, though he tries to deny it.
{{quote|
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Almost to the point of being [[The Chew Toy]].
** [[Iron Butt Monkey]]
Line 64 ⟶ 58:
* [[Leitmotif]]: A military drum beat.
* [[Lovable Jock]]
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]] / [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Feminine Boy / Blue Oni to Jo's Masculine Girl / Red Oni. Both are depicted as tough; however, Brick has a more sensitive side, whereas Jo is more aggressive.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: He messes up the "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" saying.
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] that he'd have this instinct since he is a cadet. When the other Maggots are captured by the spider, Jo tells him to ignore it for once, finish, and come in first, winning the challenge in "Finders Creepers." He does make it to the end first, but it turns out that the team with the ''most members'' across wins, so if he had ignored Jo and followed his instinct to rescue his teammates, the Maggots would've won.
** {{spoiler|This trait ironically gets him eliminated three episodes later when he chooses to rescue the other team from danger instead of winning the challenge.}}
* [[Officer and
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: In a confessional, he says that he's received medals for "Bed-Making" and "[[Momma's Boy|Letters Home to Mom]]". {{spoiler|After Cameron shares the prize money with his fellow contestants, Brick reveals that he plans to go to fashion school.}}
* [[The Rival]]: To Jo.
Line 81 ⟶ 75:
[[File:ROTI_Cameron_8610.jpg|frame|The Wide-eyed Bubble-boy]]
{{quote|
Cameron is a nerd who does not go out too much due to his mother being overprotective.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
Line 92 ⟶ 87:
* [[Bubble Boy]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's not [[Book Dumb]], but he's certainly not [[Street Smart]] either. Let's just say...watch his performance.
* [[Dork Knight]]
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Family Matters|Steve Urkel]]
Line 99 ⟶ 94:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Subverted at first, where he is essentially terrified of everything on the island. {{spoiler|Later plays it straight, as he shares the winning $1 Million with the entire cast.}}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He figures that as long as he "stays invisible", appears weak, and allies with tough opponents like Jo, other strong competitors like Lightning, Scott, and Jo will pick each other off before him. Given that this strategy has worked numerous times in game shows like these...
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: He is voiced by the [[Power Rangers Dino Thunder|Blue Dino Thunder Ranger]].
* [[I Want My Mommy|I Want My Bubble]]: He cries this as he is [[No
* [[The Load]]: Jo views him as this, calling him the team's "most expendable player" in "Finders Creepers".
{{quote|
* [[Megane]]
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: One reason he is a [[Bubble Boy]].
Line 109 ⟶ 104:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Despite being 16, he looks like a pre-teen, most likely a side effect of being a bubble boy.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Zigzagged, see [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] below.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: In his audition tape and in "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!", he falls over from the weight of a butterfly landing on his head, but in "Finders Creepers", he is strong enough to {{spoiler|break out of the cocoon he was trapped in and defeat the giant spider with a [[No
* [[Race Lift]]: His [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120128012156/totaldramaisland/images/4/43/Cameron_Original.png prototype design] had him as a white guy, but changed him to black instead.
* [[Secret Secret Keeper]]: In the episode "Ice, Ice Baby", he figures out that Mike has multiple personality disorder. Later, in "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste", Cameron agrees to help Mike with his condition after forming an alliance to take down Scott.
Line 116 ⟶ 111:
* [[Techno Wizard]]: In the finale, he built a ''working [[Iron Man]] suit'' from a ''pile of scraps.'' The kid qualifies.
* [[Teens Are Short]]: One of the few contestants to play it straight.
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Got Jo back ''good'' in "Up, Up, and Away in My Pitiful Balloon." After she has been taking advantage of his tech savvy and strong-arming him into an "alliance", Cam rigs the fog machine that he won to explode when Jo uses it, setting fire to the balloon he made for her and literally dropping her from the competition.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Spiders]]: He overcomes it; see [[Took a Level
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Jo is at first very angry when Cameron backstabs her. When Cameron says he "learned from the best" and referred to her, Jo cut him some slack.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: He manages to pull one ''to JO''.
== Jo ==
[[File:ROTI_Jo_8924.jpg|frame|The "Take-no-prisoners Jock-ette"]]
{{quote|
Jo is the resident tough girl of the new cast.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: That should really go without saying.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV
* [[Batman Gambit]]: She relies on these to get ahead.
** In "Ice Ice Baby", she exploits Anne Maria's short temper regarding her appearance to make her participate in the challenge.
** She often exploits Brick's military background and his sense of chivalry.
** When she switches teams, she often exploits Lightning's competitive spirit.
** {{spoiler|She ironically falls victim to one when Cameron rigs the fog machine he won with an explosive, knowing that Jo would scam it from him.}}
* [[Boyish Short Hair]]
* [[Brawn Hilda]]: She evidently looks so masculine that Lightning can't tell she's female. [[Played for Laughs]]; since it's highly obvious to the audience she's female. She does actually sound rather masculine, though.
* [[Cosmetic Catastrophe]]: She gets a [[The Dark Knight Saga
* [[Expy]]: Of Sue Sylvester from [[Glee]].
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Her proposed ugliness (when she works out in the nude and scares away all the animals) and the fact that [[Brawn Hilda|Lightning mistakes her for a boy]]. One of the few examples in which this is [[Played for Laughs]], however.
* [[Jerk Jock]]
* [[Karmic Death|Karmic Elimination]]: In the episode where she's eliminated, she pretty much treats Cameron like complete garbage. Conveniently, guess who sends her right out, instead of Scott? She even admitted that he was a [[Worthy Opponent]] after that.
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]] / [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Masculine Girl / Red Oni to Brick's Feminine Boy / Blue Oni. Both are depicted as tough; Brick has a more sensitive side, whereas Jo is more aggressive.
* [[Modesty Towel]]: She wears one in a confessional.
{{quote|
* [[The Nicknamer]]: She has called Brick "G. I. Joke" and "Brick-for-brains", Mike "Pointy", Zoey "Red", Cameron "String bean", and has several names for Anne Maria including "Poofhead", "Sprayhead", "Tan job" and "Helmethead".
* [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: During the mine challenge, she confesses that she never kissed a guy.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: A little birdie vomits when it sees Jo's nude workout session in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste".
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: She runs a tight shift as the Maggots' leader, makes it perfectly clear she's tough, mean, and in it to win, and can be quite critical. However, she's not above praising her teammates when they win a challenge.
Line 163 ⟶ 159:
[[File:ROTI_Mike_5004.jpg|frame|The Multiple Personality Disorder]]
{{quote|
Mike is one messed-up teen who has, you guessed it, multiple personality disorder that comes up at random every time.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Though as Vito he refers to his "tanned body", meaning he might be a deeply tanned Caucasian, like Katie.
* [[Anime Hair]]: It's almost as long as his head.
* [[Battle in
* [[Blackmail]]: Falls victim to it, courtesy of Scott. Scott forces Mike to help him in "Grand Chef Auto" after learning about Mike's disorder, threatening to tell Zoey if he doesn't.
* [[Expy]] / [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - He's similar to a brown-skinned and black-haired [[Jimmy Two
* [[Fan Nickname]]: He's called Mike "Two-Shoes" by the [[Jimmy Two
* [[Fish Eyes]]: He always gets them right before one of his multiple personalities activates.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: His personalities make up a rather dysfunctional one:
** [[The Hero]]: Mike's normal self.
** [[The Lancer]]: Vito; since he causes the most problems for Mike, especially with his relationship with Zoey.
** [[The Big Guy]]: Manitoba Smith; since he's a tough wilderness adventurer.
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Chester; since he's a complainer.
** [[The Chick]]: Svetlana; since she's Mike's only female persona.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: He believes that his multiple personality disorder will ruin his chances with Zoey. {{spoiler|However, when he admits his condition to Zoey after overcoming it, she accepts him for who he is.}}
* [[Last
{{quote|
'''Mike:''' ''(nervously)'' I, I, oh, I cant! My personality...ah, I mean, my impressions are, uh, hard to, um... }}
* [[Love Triangle]]: He and Zoey both seem to like each other, but Anne Maria is attracted to his alternate personality Vito, who likes her back. Sort of like a [[Two
* [[Nice Hat]]: When he dons a fedora in "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste", it reveals his fifth personality, the adventurous Manitoba Smith.
* [[The Power of Love]]: He only manages to defeat his personalities thanks to {{spoiler|Zoey's encouragement.}}
* [[Race Lift]]: He was pale and blonde in his prototype design, but was later changed (see above).
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Mike is both.
** Amongst the Mutant Maggots, he is the Manly Man to Cameron's and Brick's Sensitive Guys.
** Amongst his personalities, his normal personality is the Sensitive Guy with Vito & Manitoba Smith as the Manly Men.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Zoey when he's himself and with Anne Maria when he's Vito.
Line 201 ⟶ 198:
*** [[Third Person Person]]
** [[Jerkass]] / [[Joisey]]: Vito, whenever Mike's chest is bare, even partially. Reverts back if Vito's chest is covered.
*** [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Vito's got a [[Jersey Shore|Situation]] here.
*** [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
** [[Awesome Aussie]]: Manitoba Smith, whenever Mike puts on a fedora. Reverts back if Manitoba Smith's hat is removed.
Line 212 ⟶ 209:
[[File:ROTI_Zoey_2673.jpg|frame|The Indie Chick]]
{{quote|
Zoey is a nice girl who wants to be friends with everyone, since she has none back home.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]] / [[Xenafication]]: Early on, she is more of a [[
* {{spoiler|[[The Archer]]}}: {{spoiler|During her [[Heroic Safe Mode]] rampage.}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: In the first episode, she states that she is stoked to be on ''Total Drama'', having watched the show since its inception. Later, she was initially excited to meet Heather; however, the excitement died when Heather called Zoey a loser.
* [[Badass Adorable]] / [[Badass Damsel]]: In "Truth or Laser Shark", a pair of mutant beavers were about to eat her and she kicked them both in the groin. She [[Apologetic Attacker|apologizes]] to them while saying she did warn them to stop. Later, in "Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon", she manages to tame the mutant flying mountain goats to do her bidding.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
Line 227 ⟶ 224:
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Betty to Anne Maria's Veronica. Mike, the Archie, prefers Zoey over Anne Maria when his normal personality has control.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: {{spoiler|Taken [[Up to Eleven]]}} in "Eat, Puke, and Be Wary". {{spoiler|See [[Cute and Psycho]] below.}}
{{quote|
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Zigzagged, but ultimately played straight. In "Eat, Puke, and Be Wary", she is fed up Scott's evil ways and the competition as a whole. The straw which broke the camel's back was when {{spoiler|[[Rage Breaking Point|Mike's medallion broke]]}} after she was shot by Chef Hatchet with a "spaghetti cannon". Instead of [[Heroic BSOD|breaking down]], {{spoiler|she goes into a [[Heroic Safe Mode]] rampage. Unfortunately, said rampage causes a near [[Face Heel Turn]] in the following episode}}.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Towards Mike. This is the reason why [[Betty and Veronica|she and Anne Maria]] had a conflict.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cute and Psycho]]}}: {{spoiler|During her [[Heroic Safe Mode]] rampage in "Eat, Puke and Be Wary". She hunts down Chef Hatchet via an elaborate array of traps and puts Scott in a full body cast because of said traps.}}
* [[The Cutie]]
* [[Development Gag]]: Pieces of Zoey's final design were taken from [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120128012302/totaldramaisland/images/f/fa/Dawn_Original.png Dawn]{{Dead link}} (bracelets and earrings) and [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120128012338/totaldramaisland/images/f/f2/Dakota_Original.png Dakota's] (hair color, outfit color scheme, and flower in her hair) prototype designs while pieces of Zoey's own [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120203112209/totaldramaisland/images/4/4a/Zoey_-_Reloaded.png prototype design]{{Dead link}} were used in the final designs for Anne Maria (top) and Staci (hair bow and ponytail).
* [[
{{quote|
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}: {{spoiler|Played with. While she does not actually turn evil, she does experience major [[Sanity Slippage]] during "Eat, Puke and Be Wary" and is [[Not Himself|Not Herself]] in "The Enchanted Franken-Forest", making it seem like a FHT to Cameron.}}
* [[Fan Nickname]]: {{spoiler|After [[Took a Level
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Normally, she is a level-headed person; however, [[Beware the Nice Ones|she can get violent]] [[Invoked Trope|when provoked]].
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Almost averted. {{spoiler|In "Grand Chef Auto", Zoey was ready to break off their relationship because Mike was helping Scott and abandoning her during the challenge, not knowing that Mike was being blackmailed by Scott; however, when Mike overcomes his multiple personalities and admits it to Zoey, she accepts him for who he is and their relationship starts in earnest.}}
* [[Flower in Her Hair]]
* [[Freaky Is Cool]]: She admits that she likes oddballs, {{spoiler|especially after Mike admitted his MPD to her}}.
* [[Friendless Background]]
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: The non-girly variation.
Line 253 ⟶ 250:
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Zoey is the most normal out of all the newcomers{{spoiler|, at least prior to "Eat, Puke and Be Wary"}}.
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: Played for laughs, when she sees the million dollar case in "Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon"...
{{quote|
'''Scott:''' Too bad you'll never win it. ''(Zoey pushes him down)'' Owww!!
'''Zoey:''' ''(angrily)'' Just watch me! ''(reverting back to her usual self)'' If that's okay with you. }}
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: In "The Enchanted Franken-Forest", she realizes that her friendship with Cameron is far more important and valuable than the prize money, {{spoiler|causing her to drop the "commando girl" persona she adopted in the prior episode}}.
Line 260 ⟶ 257:
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Redhead in Green]]: Her swimwear.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Subverted. In "Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon", she was ready to walk out on the challenge; however, Chris reminds her what was at stake, leading to the aforementioned OOC Moment.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Mike
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]:
** It's not apparent at first, but in terms of personality, she brings to mind a less snarky and serious version of season one's Gwen.
** She's a more apparent substitute of Beth, as this [https://web.archive.org/web/20130107021332/http://ayoobrix3.deviantart.com/art/Beth-vs-Zoey-297718164 infographic] points out.
* [[Team Mom]]: Acts as one towards Cameron and Dakota.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Jo's Tomboy.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B. She is normally a sweet, sensible girl; however, [[Fiery Redhead|she can get violent]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|when provoked]], especially so if said provoker is Scott.
