Andy: The Space Fan

Andy is a boy with a love of space and the cosmos. Ever since he had his planet mobile as a baby he has loved everything about it. And why not? It's cool!

Andy knows aliens are out there somewhere ... and he's going to be the one who is gonna find them. They can't hide forever.

Wawanakwa will be Andy's final frontier and he's going to love every second of it; every ... single ... second ... dude!

Will Andy find aliens? Will he be able to keep his thoughts to ground level? And will he possibly win? A million dollars will help him get to astronaut school.

Barney: The Pirate

Yaaaar! Barney is on the scene and he's serious. Well not really; he's one of the most un-serious guys his friends have ever met. With his pirate get up and long hair he is serious about his enthusiasim.

Barney only found out about Total Drama Island after the first few episodes; he wished he had been on it as it looked like a blast. But when he heard there was a second season coming he did not hesitate to audition.

Barney is on his Jolly Rodger of a boat on the way to Wawanakwa; his true pirate entry test has began!

Will Barney make everyone else walk the plank? Will he end up swabbing the deck? And why are pirates called pirates? ... Because they Arrrrrrrr!

Carlton: The Wimp

Carlton is a scare baby; he's petrified of practially everything in existence, even things that obviously aren't real. He is terrified of school, terrified of lessons, terrified of other people, he's even terrified of his own reflection!

Carlton is somewhat intelligent but always seems to write about sweet cuddly things you would expect from a sweet preschooler. What ... a ... wimp!

Will Carlton EVER conquer his hundreds of fears? Will he wet himself? And will he have a heart attack? We hope not but there is a possibility.

Daisy: The Teachers Pet

Daisy is pretty as her name-sake and is an A star student. Not only that but she plays some instruments and is a fast typer.

Despite this she is very widely disliked. She is the school snitch and head masters pet. Her dad REALLY plays favourites. How else could she have acheived a hundred percent on that Calculas exam? Or get that free ticket to the prom? (Nobody went with her).

Daisy doesn't care she has no actual friends; she's in it to win it and will stop all trouble and fun. And she's going to win as well.

Will Daisy's arrogance be her downfall? Will she ever make any friends? And will someone slap her straight? You know you want to!

Eleanor: The Animal Lover.

Eleanor is a kind and excitable twelve year old with a love for animals and mother earth. She loves her two pet ferrets Frost and Dandilion almost as much as her family.

Eleanor watched the original TDI from the beginning and was amazed by some of the animals she saw; Sasquatchinakwa? Wooly beavers?

Now that she has been chosen Eleanor is ready for her most grand adventure; with her ferrets nearby, turtle hat on her head and her niceness ready to give she is prepared for whatever Chris dishes out.

Will Eleanor find interesting animals? Will she do well despite being young? And where did she get her hair done? It's AWESOME!

Fifi: The Feminist

Fifi is from a upper middle class family and at age 17 is already a full fledged feminist. She is disgusted by how her gender was treated in the past and wants to get even with her oppressors.

With her hair dyed pink, her favourite shirt and the fact she's easy to get along with if you're nicer to her she's going to the top of the tower that is TDL.

Will Fifi be the first Female winner in Total Drama? Will her attitude make her some enemies? And is she creepy looking; some think so!

Gary: The Chef

My compliments to the Chef! Gary is a very talented Chef; he always pleases the crowd with his culinary flair and is a master at cooking cheesecake. He is also quite good at talking in public.

He is generally calm and sometimes quiet but if he sees bad food (particually if done on purpose) he will complain to the Chef.

Gary is hoping to do well in this contest ... and if not then at least he will have impressed some people with his catering skill because in a place like Wawanakwa you're gonna need friends.

Will Gary and Chef be Best Friends Forever or Best Friends For Never? Will Gary show that Catering ISN'T a girls subject and is cool? And what's with the chicken leg on his shirt?

Hector: The Intellect

Winner of the inter-school math tournament and vice president of the math club; Hector is both intelligent and calm.

He rarely loses his cool (not that he IS cool) and has protected his fellow nerds from beatings a few times. He watched all of last season and was disappointed on how Owen won. He used his appetite, not his brain.

Hector is a man with a mission and a side of fries; he's going to carve a niche in this competition and stick it out all the way. He hopes so anyway.

Will a fat guy win again this year? Will Hector be a useful team mate? And will he get teased for loving math?

Irene: The Tree Hugger

Irene is a tree hugger, born and bred. Ever since seeing the rainforest's on TV in her youth she has wanted to protect them from destruction. She thinks going on TV will be the first step in that plan.

She would like to win very much but as long as she lasts a while and spreads her message then she will be content. Maybe if she wins the money she could buy a forest to protect forever.

Will Irene be more than a tree hugger? Can she succeed at such a hard challenge? And why are there fish on her shorts?

Jimmy: The Polly Anna

Jimmy is a carefree innocent and very likable ten year old boy with lots of friendliness to offer you. Need a friend? Call Jimmy. Need a lookout while you raid the cookie jar? Jimmy's your man. Want to hear some funny jokes? Call you know who!

Young and slightly naive, Jimmy will have to watch his step around certain individuals. Some may like kids but some hate them.

Will Jimmy survive in Wawanakwa? Can he exceed all expectations despite being a kid? And what happens when he drinks caffeine? Probably nothing good...

Kasimar: The Complete Monster

Kasimar is a monster, plain and simple. Ever since before he was born he has been horrible. He kicked his mum so hard she gave birth a week early, he wedgied the youngest kid in the school up the flagpole. He even set fire to the cars of the staff just so they would yell at everyone in school (he called in sick on that day).

Kasimar has high hopes for this contest; it'll be easy as knocking out a tooth or two. All he has to do when his team is up for elimination is injure someone to the point of uselessness so he will be safe. Easy.

Will Kasimar get what's coming to him? Will he win despite what an injustice it would be? And if he can be defeated who will be brave enough to beat him? The strongest? The smartest? The fattest? Or the one with the biggest heart?

Lavender: The Strategic Cheerleader.

Lavender is on the cheerleading squad at her school and not only is she at the top of the cheer pyramid but also she is known to be very inteligent. She may look evil and schemish but she is one of the nicer girls in school ... when not in a bad mood.

Perhaps it is true to say that red heads have a temper because Lavender is easily angered; particularly by negative stereotyping.

Will Lavender go all the way?Will she make life long friends? And is she an Albino because those red eyes are suspicous.

Mable: The Health Food Fanatic

Mable is an independant girl with goals in life. Her main one is to destroy Obesity.

Ever since seeing episodes of half tonne hospital on Tv Mable has eaten healthily and convinced others to sometimes do the same. A few only agreed because Mable's hair looked interesting.

Health food is good but nothing beats Pizza ... DO NOT say that to her face.

Will Mable get anybody to eat healthy? Will her hair get any cooler? And why wear leg warmers in summer time?

Nakia: The Hair Lover

Nakia is a typical teenage girl in that not only is she, well, girly, but she also likes her hair ... WAY more than a person should.

Ever since she was born her hair has been her prized possesion. She goes everywhere with it ... not that she can take it off but you get the idea.

Nakia hopes to do well in TDL but will her love of her hair get in the way because many sure think so.

Will Nakia bring glory to hair obsessed teenagers globally? Is her hair gel better than Chris's? And will she be a tough contestant ... probably not.

  • Arch Enemy: To Quana.
  • Alpha Bitch
  • The Bully
  • Hate Sink: She is largely considered THE most hated character in the entire Total Drama fandom, or at least on par with Kasimar.
  • Popular Is Dumb: She isn't too bright though not as dumb as Lindsay.
  • Revenge: After her elimination she vows revenge on her team, especially Spider
  • Pride: Big time; she loves her hair that much.
  • Primal Fear: Having her hair damaged.
  • Sanity Slippage: She tried to murder Spider with a pipe due to his hair.
  • The Sociopath: She starts out as just a whiny stereotypcial bart; but by the end of her time on the show she has gone past the point of redemtion and tries to cripple Spider with a pipe ... because he has bad hair.
  • Spoiled Brat

Oscar: The Strong Guy

While Noah thought brains alone could win; Oscar on the other hand thinks brawn alone can win. He may not be dumb but he's stronger than he is smart.

Oscar is captain of the School's weight lifting team, able to lift more than 392 pounds! He is generally well liked except by people who foolishly bet against him in weight lifting competitions.

Oscar may be strong but can he win in a crazy show like Total Drama? Maybe ... but maybe not.

Will Oscar get any stronger? Will he prove himself as the strongest in the competiton? And did he leave the gym sink running again like he did in the school flood of 05?

Patch: the Burger King.

Patch is fat; no, he's a lard butt! But I mean that nicely because really he isn't too bad. He's just dumb and a little weird at times.

Both his parents are fat just like him so it may be genetic; but that can be hard to beleive when your brekfast consists of a roast chicken, two pizzas, a box of sugar puffs and a mint humbug.

Will Patch follow in Owen's footsteps? Will he stop groaning 'fooood' like a zombie? And is it me or does he look like that guy from judge judy with 'amoeba for brain cells"?

Quana: The loving Singer.

With her tan, microphone and big smile Quana is on the scene and ready to please. Her singing is very talented and she can make up songs on the spot due to drama classes.

Quana is outgoing and friendly and always lends a helping hand. Some say she is a lawful good pixie; Quana says 'see a need fill a need.'

If there is one thing that gets her angry it is bullying and foul play and she's not afraid to show it. Despite her niceness she has quite a temper, oooooh yes!

Can Quana bring victory to an obscure letter? Will her singing be useful? And will she make friends with the populars or the 'notulars'?

Raven: the Shy Girl

Raven is quite a sweet girl, she is helpful, kind and loving ... once you actually notice her that is!

Raven is extremely latonically shy. She hates social situations and most of the time is alone in the depths of the school library, reading silently. She has friends but she rarely talks, just 'mmm's' and 'uhuh's'.

Will Raven open up? Will she conquer her fear of publicity? And will she go far?

Spider: The Sick Kid.

Spider is unwell. In fact he can hardly remember a time he WAS well. Aside from his cool name he has very weak immune systems and a usually blocked nose.

Spider is quite a nice guy with a love of music and art but rareley gets a chance to prove this as people avoid him so they don't get infected. He's off school so much he's practically homeschooled!

Will Spider ever get well? Will he make some special friends ? And does he have some special talents or is he just sick?

He goes on to win Total Drama Letterz.

Tabitha: The Manipulator

Tabitha is from a fairly well off family, well, not fairly, extremely! She is used to living it large and what she wants she gets. The lack of disipline and control on her has made her become ... nasty, for a light way of putting it.

She is the ruler of the school and her clique of preppeies and populars is facing resistance from the nerds and geeks ... resistance that will be punished SERVERLY.

Tabitha is going to succeed where Heather failed; keep a low profile and make false friends, when in the finals ... betray them, simple.

Will Tabitha win? What injustices is she planning? And how can somebody so awful be so pretty?

  • Abusive Parents: to a HORRIFYING level.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Played with; for a lot of the story it seems like this; but in episode 14 of Letterama we find out it was actually a Jerkass Facade.
  • Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word: "I prefer to call it ruining someone's life." It is eventually revealed she wouldn't have followed up on her threats and that it was just a bluff.
  • The Chessmaster: She is the King (Or Queen) and everyone else is a pawn.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While she admits that she's not the nicest girl in the world, even she is horrified by the lengths Kasimar and Nakia will go to win and has repeatedly confessed that she regrets working with them.
  • Freudan Excuse: Her parents are complete monsters who beat her and hospitalize her every time she fails at something. They force her to act like a manipulative schemer and taught her bad morals. All these years of abuse made Tabitha become lonenely and VERY insecure. Tabitha even admits she was jealous of Uzuri.
  • Jerkass Facade
  • Manipulative Bitch: She manipulates many of the others to do her bidding. but she doesn't actually enjoy doing it.
  • Odd Couple: With Rheneas in a particualrly heart warming way.
  • Primal Fear: Bees. She lied; that is actually her SECOND biggest fear; her true fear is ehr parents
  • Rich Bitch: Part of her facade.
  • Schemer: Very much so. Turns out she only acted like this due to her parents forcing her to.

Uzuri: The Sweet Sadist

Uruzi is a unique specimen alright; some say she's mental, some say she's crazy ... and others say she's not even human.

Truth is; she's none of the above. Uzuri doesn't actually realise her sadism and just thinks of it as fun. And they're just bugs anyway, no shortage or anything.

Uzuri's parents worry about her; she has seen a number of phychiatrists but she is still as weird as ever. And she doesn't mind that.

Will Uzuri ever be normal? What will everyone think of her? And does her little miss Emo doll REALLY have over nine thousand sayings? O_o

Vinnie: The Guy with a Metal Arm'

Vinnie is quite a normal guy ... or he was. An accident on an easter egg hunt left him without a right arm. Nowadays he's a little more shut away and slightly distrusting. After all; he doesn't want a pity party or unwanted attention. But he is a very good arm wrestler and left the school bully with as broken hand (not on purpose).

How will Vinnie do? Will he be able to prove himself? And where di he get that stylish hat, I want one!

Wallace: The Wannabe Bad Guy

Wallace ... um ... he's evil. Or at least that's what he thinks. Wallace has always been a little mean but being picked on for his hair and name made him snap ... from then on he was a bad guy. He spends his time scheming up world domination ideas and new evil inventions for he is actually fairly intelligent. People usually think he's crazy but he doesn't mind; all great villians are crazy (coughJOKERcough)

Is he really going to be the biggest bad guy? Will Wallace ever be taken seriously? And dude; what's with that arrow in your hair, it's kinda stupid.

Xaria: The Complainer

Xaria is a fairly negative girl; she is easily angered and always has her arms crossed and grumbles about something. People at school generally avoid her which she complains about. Some try to talk to her but she complains they are feeling sorry for her. Yeesh!

Truth be told there IS a reason Xaria is like this but she refuses to speak of it. She and her sister also have a strained relationship.

Yessica: The Born Swimmer.

Yessica is a kind bubbly girl with a love of swimming; some say she could swim before she was born! She loves the beach and when it closed for a month due to an oil spillage she nearly went insane. It wasn't pretty...

Can someone with a love of aquaticness win this time? Will she realise she has a similar haircut to bridgette? And will she leap from the high dive?

Zita: The Thief

Zita; what is there to say about her? She steals ... a lot. Since her first heist in nursey where she stole a toy care she has loved the thrill of the theft When Zita heard about the second season of Total Drama she immediently auditioned; why not after all? There's bound to be a rich kid with some fancy jewelry.

Will Zita's thiefing skills come in handy? How far will she get? And for the love of cornflakes will someone keep priceless ming vases out of her reach?

Total Drama Letterama Contestants

Alice: The Type A

Alice is a calm and confident individual who knows she has what it takes to succeed in the world; after all, she's a great leader at team activities at school. Well, that last part might be in her opinion as a lot of people at her school label her as 'bossy' and a 'control freak'. It is quite accurate to say Alice likes it when she is in charge and that she has a sort of 'my way or the highway' attitude. She might be a little (*cough*ALOT*cough*) bossy but she is no doubt intelligent as she passes all of her classes with A's.

Alice likes it when things go 'just so' and if something disrupts what she feels is the natural balance then she will quickly set out to sort the problem. She likes to be in a crowd of 'mature, calm and hard working individuals'. She would never willingly associate with somebody she labels as 'nuts', somebody like Izzy for example. Alice hasn't got much in the way of patience and is known to lose her temper if somebody acts too wild or if the people working with her don't work hard enough (and by that I mean working hard enough to get dehydrated).

Alice has a good feeling about T.D.L.2 and feels that not only will she be able to simply sweep aside any obstacle she comes across but that she can lead whatever team she ends up on to victory after victory. With 'perfect' leadership such as hers there is no way her team could ever lose right? Alice has never lost at anything in her life before so a taste of defeat might be even worse than the taste of olives if she actually loses at all. Time will tell if she is as fantastic a leader and as strong a competitor as she claims to be.

Will Alice lead her team to the merge completely intact? Will Alice manage to stay calm when things look bad? Will a certain blue and green haired girl drive Alice mental? And will Alice score an A grade at T.D.L.2 and win it all?

Bishop, the Mean Rich Boy

Bishop likes money. Whether it be a dollar or a single cent, he loves it like a child. He comes from a rich family, even richer than Tabitha in fact! Bishop flaunts his richness whenever he can and loves to see the jealous looks on people's faces when they see his deluxe beach house, trio of million dollar yachts, ridiculously large mansion and, of course, his personal jet that he flies to school just to see the looks on everyone else's faces. Bishop is used to living the good life and always carries up to eighty thousand dollars on him as his 'daily allowance'. Bishop has very few friends but he doesn't care; money is the only friend he needs.

If there is one thing that Bishop seriously hates, it would have to be poor people and charity. Bishop hates that such, in his words, 'inbred ghetto trash', get free money while everyone else has to work for a living despite how hypocritical this is due to Bishop never having to work at all. Bishop is a little bit sadistic due to his fondness of laughing at homeless people or baiting them with money and then yanking it away and laughing at them when they reach for it. Bishop also enjoys hunting; particularly of rare species; he has hunted a whole pride of lions before in his family's holiday mansion in Africa.

Bishop is usually home alone due to how often his parents are at work earning money (this he approves of). He cares little about this; Bishop can do anything he wants with his money; he loves riding around in his limo and smirking mockingly at passers-by. With a lifestyle such as this one has to wonder how Bishop will react to being at Camp Wawanakwa as Bishop seriously hates summer camp. Bishop knows he can easily win; he can just bribe people to vote for his enemies by giving them a dollar. After all; that is SURELY more than they earn in a year. Bishop is also a believer in the philosophy 'Screw the rules, I have money'.

Will Bishop get along with 'poor people'? Will he ever give money to charity? Will Bishop put any effort into physical challenges? And will he ever stop being such an arrogant snob? (Probably not.)

Cherry, the Genki Racer

Cherry wants to be a race car driver; it's her dream. She loves all things fast with four tires and tends to bounce around as though she was high on caffeine. Cherry has a very large collection of Hot Wheels cars and is the only person in her school who has completed Challenge Mode in Micro Machines V3 for the PS 1. Cherry is reasonably intelligent but the teachers have to keep reminding her that she isn't allowed to wear her racer helmet in the classroom. Cherry is a free spirit and an avid lover of roller coasters and go-karts.

Cherry is currently attempting to get her driver's license; she can control the car perfectly but the driving instructors worry about her love of speed. Oddly enough despite her name Cherry dislikes cherries quite a lot; in fact, she's allergic to them. At every cross-country marathon her school holds, Cherry always manages to come in first place because her running speed is oddly high for a human. Cherry owns a go-kart that she drives around at the local park; pedestrians give her some distance due to her love of drifting around corners.

Cherry lives each day like it's the final race of a championship; that is to say, she lives it fast and furious. Cherry is looking forward to T.D.L.2; she feels that if there is a racing challenge she will win it with no problems. Cherry however has a habit of using the handbrake to skid around corners which tends to make her passengers scream a lot. Despite her wild attitude and love of speed Cherry is a kind hearted and excitable girl who has all the heart of a driver in the game Crazy Taxi.

Will Cherry finish in first place in this race of a competition? Will a certain someone catch her eye? Will Cherry be able to sit still for half a second? And if Cherry wins what car will she buy with the prize money?

Donny, the 'Irritable Short Guy

Donny has some anger management issues. Its quite understandable really given that he's very short for a sixteen-year-old and the taller kids always poke fun at him for being small. This leads Donny to get easily angered and also take up boxing. Small but deadly, tiny but fast, those are good ways to describe Donny. He is fairly outgoing but when his opponent is really tall he stoops to ANY level to beat them and stand up for the little guys.

Donny is also fairly intelligent and does decently at school though he's not top of the class. He is however quite flexible and athletic and is on his school's boxing team in the lightweight division, a weight class he greatly resents. Donny has no problems standing up to bullies even if his ways of doing so are occasionally fairly questionable. Seeing Kasimar has only made him more determined to settle the score with his oppressors ... and what better way to do that than win at Total Drama?

Donny is frequently on the receiving end of 'short' jokes and also Snow White and the Seven Dwarf puns. These make him go into a frenzy of anger; kinda like Yosemite Sam. Donny enjoys the fantasy genre of books and resents the giants but is a huge supporter of the gnomes, dwarves and hobbits, its why he's a big fan of Lord Of The Rings. He however has an extreme hatred for The BFG by Roald Dahl. If Donny is to survive at Wawanakwa he is going to have to keep his volcanic temper in check.

Will Donny make a stand for the little guys in society? Will he win the contest despite what a tall order it would be? Will be end up befriending some taller contestants? And will Donny have an anger meltdown?

Eddie, the Detective

Eddie Lynmoire is really into the detective genre of fiction. His favorites include Poirot, Sherlock Holmes and Professor Layton. He wants to be a private investigator when he leaves school and has already made his mark on solving mysteries. He has solved different cases such as the Mystery of the Urinal Turd, the case of the Vandalised Boiler and, of course, the theft in the cafeteria on Pizza Day. He has never failed to solve a mystery yet and he intends to keep his success streak going. With his fedora and magnifying glass there is no mystery that Eddie cannot solve.

Eddie's friends nickname him 'The Sherlock' due to his tendency to overthink things and state the obvious. He takes this in stride and quite likes the nickname. Eddie has a fair number of friends as he is quite a nice guy ... though when he is prosecuting suspects over stolen possessions (and he always knows who did it) then his friends call him by his other nickname, 'The Reptile'. Eddie enjoys challenging logic puzzles while drinking root beer when relaxing; every detective deserves a day off, right?

Eddie may have gotten to know the twenty-six campers of Total Drama Letterz fairly well ... but how will he cope with all the new campers in his season? Due to the very diverse personalities of everyone, Eddie might end up having to solve a murder mystery! One can only hope Eddie's notebook is big enough! But a true detective never gives up and Eddie will not rest until he either wins the money or leaves with his head held high. And maybe along the way Eddie will solve a mystery or two.

Will Eddie be able to win as easily as Poirot can solve a case? Will he and Sasha be as good a duo as they were in Total Ousted Alphabet? Can Eddie figure out what Chef's food is made of? And will he TRULY live up to his title as a detective and solve a very important mystery?

Fripp, the Blockhead

Fripp is, to be perfectly honest, even stupider than Patrick Star. Every Saturday morning he sits in front of a electric outlet and licks it no matter how many times he gets electrocuted. He also enjoys cooking class but no matter how many times the teacher tells him crayon sandwiches aren't gradable he keeps making them. He also always forgets to turn the oven on which has sent people away with food poisoning more than ten times. In short his IQ is around -5 ... Fripp sometimes forgets how to sit down.

Fripp doesn't wear shoes as he thinks that if he did his feet would suffocate and he would be executed by the inhabitants of the Ankle Alliance in outer space. Thus he tends to track mud in the school's corridors after a sports lesson which has led the janitor to swear a vendetta on Fripp. Fripp has a fair number of friends though a lot of people think he is just so stupid. He also seems to cause a huge amount of mayhem and destruction through his own stupidity everyday; the school has had to be rebuilt three times already solely because of Fripp! He is too stupid to really mean any harm ... but he had left people in hospital. And when he goes to visit them he ends up talking to the newborn babies.

Fripp's favorite food is toast. Whenever toast in mentioned he starts to act like that guy obsessed with chocolate from Spongebob so everyone spells it out as Fripp cannot spell toast ... in fact, he can't even spell 'cat'. Fripp is quite a nice guy but his dimness tends to cause more harm than his niceness does good. Despite all this Fripp is oblivious to all the destruction to property he unintentionally causes. Who knows what the other twenty five contestants in Total Drama Letterama will think of him. One thing is for sure; he'll be no good at a math challenge or indeed a challenge where even the smallest fraction of a gram of brainpower is needed.

Will Fripp get to eat some toast? Will he say no to a stop sign? Will he cause Wawanakwa to be reduced to ruin within an hour? And will anyone ever convince him to wear shoes, let alone socks?


Gordon, the Alcoholic Asshole

Ten percent booze and ninety percent neck is a simple way to describe Gordon. He likes booze a LOT and has used a fake ID to get his hands on it; that isn't so hard as he is quite muscular and looks a bit older than he is. He now no longer needs the fake ID but keeps it as a reminder of the 'good old days'; when he got his first hangover.

Gordon is somewhat lazy and a bit of a lout. In a way you might think he is a human expy of Bender ... and you'd be more or less correct. He hits on girls; this would be fine if it weren't for the fact he only does it when drunk. Wawanakwa has a no alcohol rule but it's likely Gordon will find a way around it.

Gordon is a little bit of a bully though nowhere near Kasimar's level. He's sometimes a little rude and irritable when sober but when drunk he becomes argumentative, slurry, swears and then passes out. One can only hope this won't happen during a challenge ... it would be funny though!

Will Gordon manage to stay sober for just one day? Does he prefer beer or wine? Will be be useful or useless to his team? And will he pick on the smaller contestants?

Helen, the Anti Fun Girl

Helen hates fun; in fact she directly campaigns against it. She sees it as a complete waste of somebody's life when they could be studying, listening to lectures or practising math problems. Her life's ambition is to become a pencil pusher in a big business corporation. Helen hates art class due to all the exciting fun colors used when everyone paints. The only color that Helen likes is beige; it's so wonderfully dull is her opinion. She thinks that boring is beautiful and that the world would be so much more suited for her if everything was grey and beige like a true stereotypical business metropolis.

Helen doesn't really have friends, but this is her choice. She can't stand anyone at school due to how bouncy, interesting, cool and partyish they are. But she feels that when she is rich and has a business empire which makes pencils, paperclips and beige crayons then they'll be begging her to share her success while they sink in the pit of failure because Helen thinks fun leads to failure. Helen has never been to a party and also hates cake. She would much rather have a plain loaf of brown bread and work during a party. For Helen life is for working and fun is a most serious crime. Helen's favorite movies are lectures about pointless things such as the history of beige or watching grass grow (though she dislikes how green it is).

Helen thinks that it'll be easy to win Total Drama Letterama; while everyone else is wasting time making friends and having pointless fun she will be focusing on the game and will walk away with a fortune of a million dollars. With the money she can bribe her school to make the uniform beige and get rid of all classes except math and English (though English would only consist of boring essays). Helen is in one word ... dull.

Will Helen end up being forced into fun situations? Will she show that boring is beautiful? Will Helen realise she looks a little bit like Mrs. Tweedy? And will Helen learn to enjoy life once in a while?

  • Expy: Of Nitt Notts from the Imagination Movers TV show.
  • Flat Character: Because being developed would be far too exciting.

Imanda, the Girl Scout

Imanda is a proud and accomplished member of the Chipmunk Scouts. She has won almost every badge that the the troop offers and is leader of her Six Squad. Imanda has badges in Cookie Baking, Sock Washing, Compass Reading, Raccoon Tracking and even one for sitting through 'Disaster Movie', and that's not even ten percent of her badges! Imanda is popular among her fellow girl scouts and is decently liked at school, though a few people think she's a bit of a geek. But Imanda doesn't care, she's proud to be a geek, she has the badge to prove it.

Imanda has been with the girl guiding organisation all the way; from Rainbows to Brownies to Girl Scouts. Some people compare Imanda to Chuckie Finster while some think of her as more like Eliza Thornberry. Imanda knows a great deal about things like camping and building a fort; but she isn't so strong at boating, she just cannot control the canoe properly. But Imanda keeps trying because like Tyler she never gives up. Not only that but she is a BIG fan of the cartoon series of Alvin and the Chipmunks and can imitate their voices without much difficulty.

Imanda is a true girl scout; she knows their motto and never forgets it, 'Through thick and thin, scouts stick together'. Imanda would never leave anyone behind and is hoping that the other twenty-five contestants in T.D.L.2 will share that attitude. Imanda was a little scared of Kasimar last season but since he is not competing this time she knows she can relax a little. Imanda has all the heart of a lion and the brownish carrot top hair of a, um, carrot. She is hoping to earn the elusive 'I Won A Reality Show' badge; time will tell if she can achieve this goal.

Will Imanda show girl scouts are just as good as boy scouts and can kick ass just as much as they can bake cookies? Will she bake better cookies than Chef? Will Imanda's girl scout skills come in useful? And will Imanda become the first girl scout to win Total Drama?

Jill, the Sarcastic Chick

Jill can be summed up in three key words, snarky, sarcastic and independent. She may seem moody every once in a while, but she's a nice girl at heart. She only has a small select group of friends, but she is fiercely loyal to them and has been known to beat up the bully on occasion for she has got a blue belt in karate. She may seem fairly lightweight but she can pack a punch both verbally and fist-ally.

Jill has a purple streak in her hair as a statement of individuality which reflects her loner nature. Some think it's a little silly, but you can't call her a bumblebee, can you? And despite being tough, she does have a fondness for the color pink, as you can probably tell by looking at her attire. She's fairly active and outgoing but not as fast and bouncy as a certain pair of girls on this series.

Like Noah, sarcasm is Jill's strongest weapon. Some of her insults to people who piss her off have been known to leave the "piss offer" in tears like "Your birth certificate was an apology from the condom factory" or even "Shut up; you'll never be the man your mother is". Jill may certainly be a little rough around the edges but deep down she's a truly nice person who just prefers to do her own thing.

Will Jill snark and sarcasm her way to victory? Will she get teased for liking pink? Will she be a stronger competitor than she seems? And will anybody try to look up her skirt? For their sake they had better not!

  • Fetish: She has one for nerds.
  • Panty Shot: She loses her skirt after her kart crashes during the racing challenge.
  • Pink Means Feminine: Despite being a bit of a tomboy she LOVES pink.

Kim, the Dangerous Flirt

Kim is a very attractive girl. She's hot as the sun, sexy as a lingerie model and allegedly as good a kisser as someone like Wonder Woman. She may seem hot and popular on the outside, but inside she's a MONSTER, far worse than Tabitha could ever be. Kim knows what she wants and knows just how to get it. Her usual methods involve flirting with weak-willed boys and feigning affection to get them to do whatever she wants. Kim uses her large breasts to her full advantage in order to ruin the lives of everyone she wants and gain the loyalty of hapless hormonal guys to do things like steal money or jewelry for her. Kim views males as the far weaker sex; but unlike Fifi she knows much better than to say this in front of anyone.

Kim likes things like shoes, makeup and jewelry. Everything that glitters is something that Kim wants. She could easily steal someone's jewelry and frame an innocent passerby as the culprit. Kim has a completely spotless record and nobody would suspect anything of her, not even her parents. Even if people see the true her on T.D.L.2 it won't matter as she'll be rich and also 'she has boobs they must obey'.

Kim was very amused by all the bullying and mayhem Kasimar caused last season and finds him attractive. But to her he's just another pawn to get her closer to her personal goals. Kim doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself and would gladly sacrifice the lives of animals to get what she wants. As for people she would simply use them. Kim knows she will come out on top in T.D.L.2 and that as long as she can get a couple of guys under her finger she can run the game like a race. But sometimes Kim tends to not give a single glance to the underdogs...

Will Kim win the million and quench her greed? Does she really have 'boobs men must obey'? Will she team up with some truly horrendous people just like herself? And will she get angry if people say she looks like Dixie Kong?

Lankston, the Condescending One

Lankston has self-esteem, perhaps a bit too much. He has a habit of being quite condescending to those around him, whether he means to or not. This leads to him not having too many friends but he actually doesn't care about this at all, he doesn't need much.

Lankston is clearly not very strong, he is both very skinny and also somewhat short, about an inch taller than Beth. Despite this, he is pretty intelligent and frequently gets good grades, and is finishing high school on the honor roll. Some people wonder how anyone as big an outcast and condescender as Lankston could beat them at anything.

There is a reason to the above. Behind his squinty eyes and bored expression, Lankston is quite a schemer. He stays in the shadows and watches his opponents, studying their strengths and weaknesses and how they react to things. After that, he can simply use their weaknesses against them. With his many strong qualities and keen eye and wit; that is how Lankston says he will come out on top.

Will Lankston scheme his way to the top? Will he last less long than he expects (or maybe longer than everyone else expects)? And will he be of any help in the physical challenges if he is so scrawny?

Max, the Nerdy Robotier

Max Austintine brings a new meaning to the word 'nerd' ... a good meaning. He is quite gifted at electronics and engineering and loves to tinker about and make robots. He also keeps wires in his pockets just in case of emergency ... or to shock an unconscious friend back to their senses. He isn't very popular at school but has a number of close friends ... and they are REAL geeks, if you know what I mean!

Max wears 3D glasses because according to him everything is better in 3D such as drawing, building, sleeping and watching a guy watching a 3D movie. That last one might not make much sense but Max doesn't care about that, sense is just an obstacle in the world. Max has won the science fair three years running though the year of the ill-fated Gerbil Translator is best left forgotten. Max also has modified his bike to shoot out cherry bombs in case of a bully attack.

Max may be an underdog on the popularity food chain, but when it comes to robotic prowess then forget about it; he's top of the class! Max also enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with the geekiest kids in school. One thing is for sure ... he's was the only one in the party to survive the fight with the Red Dragon. Max is quite quirky and a little odd and dorky but he's a pretty nice guy overall ... just don't break his robots on purpose.

Will Max win the contest and build a 100 foot tall robot? Will he end up thinking reality shows are better in 3D? Will he fit in for once in his life? And will he shock someone back into consciousness with electricity?

Nina, the Messy Girl

Nina loves getting filthy; it's that simple. At school she is known as the girl who loves nothing more than rolling around in a big puddle of mud. She detests taking baths and goes to any lengths to avoid having one. While Nina is a girl, she is very unladylike. She eats messily, burps often and breaks the stereotype of girls never farting.

Due to her messy habits Nina tends to smell kinda bad. This makes a lot of people keep their distance but some willingly socialise with her (albeit with a peg over their noses) and soon find that she is quite a talkative fun-loving girl. However Nina has a strange terror of bathrooms due to all the cleaning supplies in them and as such when she has to go ... erm ... let's just say she goes 'lumberjack style'.

Nina might smell bad but she isn't such a bad person; she just has a hard time fitting in. Also she changes her clothes about once every month or two and holds her town's record for going the longest without changing her underwear. Nina doesn't eat pork because when visiting the local farm she loves hanging out with the pigs and getting messy. Nina is also quite fond of art lessons due to the paint that gets everywhere. Who knows what the Total Drama people are going to think of this oddball.

So will Nina make people's noses shrivel up? Will she ever take a bath? Will Nina terrify a certain germaphobe? And for god's sakes, will anybody bring a peg with them when in Nina's vicinity?

Opal, the Trilingual Basket Case

Opal is as wild as a stampede and as hyperactive as Hammy the Squirrel. She has so much energy that when other people are tired out she is still ready and raring to go. She is Chinese and can not only speak English but also fluent Chinese and Catalan (the latter she feels is an underappreciated language). Her hair is blue and green as according to Opal those colors are the most 'colory'. Opal is thought of as attractive with her cute smile, fishnet stockings and sweet attitude ... but every boy knows full well they'd never be able to keep up with her in a relationship.

Opal is quite oddball; she COULD take a dog for a walk ... but she's equally likely to throw it, go skiing with it or paint the dog purple. Her logic system could be described as 'Insane Troll Logic' such as believing Winnie the Pooh comes from the dark side of Jupiter's moon Callisto (and don't get me started on how she came to THAT conclusion.) Opal is as bouncy as a rubber ball indeed.

Opal has a fair number of friends but especially likes hanging out with the fish in the local park's lake; apparently they tell her to sing songs in reverse as well as invite her for a swim. Opal also claims to have a large air collection; something she is quite proud of. Opal might be more than a little crazy but she has a kind heart and always tries to lend a hand to those in need ... a very haphazard helping hand indeed.

Will Opal drive a certain team member of hers to insanity? Will she be correct in her assumption that 'you gotta have blue hair'? Will Opal's troll logic EVER come in handy? And will she prove hyperactivity is more of a help than a hindrance?

Paul, the Germaphobe

Paul is afraid of germs, to put it lightly. He doesn't like sports, not only because he's naturally bad at them, but because he is always pushed over into mud and thus has to take four showers at least just to get rid of the germs. He generally prefers to be indoors; he however isn't really a gamer. He prefers to study, read and (laugh if you want) sew as he has a fair few indoor talents. He however is loath to go outside due to his extreme paranoia that the germs will kill him.

Why is Paul so afraid of germs, you ask? There is a surprisingly very good reason indeed. Paul once had a twin sister called Penelope. They were very outgoing and liked hiking in the woods near their home. One day though after a play fight in mud Penelope got sick. Time went so fast and slow at the same time for Paul and just a month later she died of an unknown germ. The loss of his twin sister was too much for Paul to take and he became a hermit and utterly *terrified* of germs. He now never goes ANYWHERE without a can of air freshener, a neckerchief around his mouth and a water pistol loaded with soapy liquid.

Paul also happens to be homeschooled due to his fear of catching germs at school due to the very rare common cold outbreaks. Paul is very intelligent as far as schoolwork goes, but he isn't exactly a social butterfly. He will hang out with other teens if pressured to, but as most would expect, he doesn't fit in very well. Maybe one day in the future he will recover from the state he has fallen into as of the present due to events in the past.

Will Paul face his phobia of germs? Will Paul survive on the germ-filled Wawanakwa? Will he be scared of a certain pigpen messy girl? And will Paul be a stronger competitor than he looks? Probably not, but it never hurts to be optimistic.


Quarla, the Aggressive Girl

Quarla is a tough girl; a fair number of people at her school are a little scared of her. Quarla is very strong despite her thin build and is a good fighter. To strong people like herself she is fun to be around and can be nice. To people who are either weak physically or have fragile egos, she is nothing short of a sadistic bully. She has been suspended from her inner city school a total of six times, but since the school is inner city, Quarla hasn't been expelled. Quarla likes online shows such as 'Happy Tree Friends' and thinks the game 'Bully' is how school should be, the weak serving the strong people like herself.

Quarla's attitude means she doesn't have many friends, but she hardly cares; she has a small amount of close friends, all members of the local gym, though sometimes they are a little disapproving of Quarla's bullying. But as Quarla is captain of the cross country team, they don't say much about it. Quarla enjoyed watching Kasimar torment the weaker contestants in TDL; she was a little disturbed by some of the things he did but generally found his 'antics' funny. Quarla is very good at karate and also is a big fan of wrestling, especially the violent type. Quarla is the type of girl who is anything but girly and loves hardcore things.

Quarla knows that her aggressive attitude may earn her a few votes, but she isn't worried. She knows that she could easily twist somebody's wrist as painfully as possible until they agree to vote with her; that or they'd keep her due to her all round strength and competitive drive. Quarla thinks that T.D.L.2 will be as easy as playing uncle with a high school freshman and as fun as watching a Celebrity Deathmatch marathon.

Will Quarla dominate the game with her aggressiveness? Will she bully anyone? Will Quarla win it all? And will she get on the bad side of a certain germaphobe and a certain hippie?

  • The Bully: However, she belives it is within her rights to bully weak people.


Rheneas, the Rebellious Pyromaniac

Rheneas loves fire, it's as simple as that. Most people can tell he likes it judging by his hairstyle and outfit, and they would be right. Rheneas is very skilled at using fire, from juggling fire batons to making a signal fire, he's a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to fire.

Rheneas is generally well-liked by his peers at school; he is known to be cool, somewhat wild and more than a little crazy, but he has a good heart all the same. Rheneas, while reasonably intelligent, is quite a rebel and while not a criminal like Duncan, he is not above causing mischief and mayhem with his buds.

Rheneas also likes comic books; he's a particularly fan of Superman, his lighter has the Superman logo on it. One would wonder how somebody with such a posh and refined-sounding name would be so, well ... crazy about fire. A word of advice though; don't make fun of him for having the same name as a Thomas the Tank Engine character. Seriously.

Will Rheneas go far in Total Drama Letterama? Will be be a valuable Team Member with his knowledge and skill with fire? And will be possibly butt heads with a few of the others?

Sasha, the Bubbly Gamer

Sasha is a cheerful and bubbly girl who loves video games. She doesn't mind being outside but she greatly prefers to be inside and in "the zone". Sasha has been playing video games since she was three years old and has had years of practise. She plays all genres though she prefers racers, platformers and puzzle games.

Sasha sometimes has a habit of bringing video games into everyday conversation. It can sometimes be amusing when one moment you ask if Sasha likes mushrooms and the next moment she brings the conversation around to Super Mario Brothers. Her friends have grown used to it but it does raise confused eyebrows every now and then.

Besides video games Sasha greatly enjoys Disney movies and Chinese food. If somebody aksed her if she liked Chinese food she would reply, "Dhk! Who doesn't?" Sasha also has one key weakness, which is getting her ponytail yanked; in her words, "It bloody hurts!" Could anybody use this to make her do as they say? Probably not, but it would piss her off.

Will Sasha manage to keep her mind away from video games and in reality? Will she have an advantage due to appearing in the aftermath in the previous season? Will she get to bash Twilight on international television? And will Sasha's knowledge of video games come in handy?

Tyson, the Cool Rocker

Tyson is considered by many to be coooooool. He is always calm and never breaks a sweat in most circumstances. He is generally pretty friendly and easy going but isn't afraid to get assertive with people who give him or his many friends trouble.

When Tyson isn't hanging out with his friends or playing Guitar Hero or Space Invaders at the arcade, he can be found rocking out in his garage on his custom-made guitar, frequently being told to keep the noise down. Noise doesn't bother Tyson; it's what makes things like music enjoyable.

While Tyson is most of the time calm and collected, you must NEVER mess with his beloved guitar, because if you do, he isn't afraid to get down and dirty in a fight. Tyson isn't the fighting sort, but he is quite protective of his guitar; some say he sleeps with it at night.

So will Tyson really be as cool as a sea cucumber? Will his music keep his team up all night? And what color eyes does he have? Because he almost never takes off his sunglasses.

Ulric, the Tough Guy

Ulric is, as his stereotype suggests, a tough guy. He doesn't scare easy and is the last person the bullies would want to target, especially after what happened to the head bully when Ulric was a freshman. Ulric is very good at arm wrestling as well as being the school champion at thumb wrestling. He can throw a good punch but prefers to not get into fights; despite being a tough guy he prefers to settle disputes without beating the ever loving crap out of someone. Ulric may be a tough guy .. but he's a CANADIAN tough guy.

Ulric is reasonably strong and as such he enjoys sports. Funnily enough Ulric's favorite sports are billiards and chess despite the fact they aren't considered sports like football and baseball. Ulric is skilled at billiards but he isn't a very good chess player, but Ulric always perserveres towards his goals. There are two main things that Ulric doesn't like ... bullies and hypocrites. Those things just tick Ulric off. Ulric doesn't often get angry but some people say he is scary when he gets angry.

Ulric has only one fear in this world; he is scared of falling. The feeling of free fall makes him feel queasy and sick; it's why Ulric never uses the high dive at the local swimming pool. But Ulric is brave and would confront his fear ... but ONLY if there is absolutely no way around it. Ulric is looking forward to season three of Total Drama. He feels he'll be a useful asset to whatever team he ends up on; he just hopes that there won't be an eating challenge as he is a vegetarian and has a weak stomach.

Will Ulric be tough as a rock? Will Ulric manage to stand up to the worst of the contestants? Will he prove he is younger than he looks? And will he prove to be as resilient as his bio suggests and stick it out till the end?

Vay Vay, the Philosophical Hippie

Vayvay is quite an oddball girl. Some say she is completely out of her mind while others say the philosophies that she comes out with are wise and take time to decipher. What philosophies does she come up with? Stuff like, "Whether we be fried, boiled, poached or scrambled, we are all a part of the great eggcup of life'. Vayvay is seriously 'out there', but has a very kind heart and is always willing to give advice to those who need it ... but understanding her advice is another matter completely! Some people have nicknamed her 'The Luna Lovegood' and Vayvay doesn't mind this one bit.

Vayvay wishes she could have been alive in the 60's due to all the hippie gatherings and great times the world had back then. Vayvay has organised 'hippie marches' in her neighborhood with her friends before ... events that make her friends feel ridiculous but they do for a good bit of fun. Vayvay likes flowers, especially tulips, and has a flower garden at her house with many different types of flowers because 'the more the meatier' according to Vayvay. Vayvay has a dreamy and soothing type of voice and almost always has a smile on her face. Her outlook on the world is very positive and she says that one day they will join the family of stars in the sky and have a galactic pillow fight.

Vayvay is not a fan of bullying no matter what the circumstances, and if a friend of hers is getting bullied she uses her philosophy of 'The discus being the better part of the valor' and lends a helping hand as Vayvay is quite a charitable person. Vayvay auditioned for T.D.L.2 because she wanted to spread the message of hippiness 'like butter' and show that the sixties aren't dead yet! Vayvay feels she'll do alright; she doesn't really care if she wins or not since 'only one person can be Top Hamster'. However; she wants to have a fun summer and what better way than being put on an island with 25 strangers and taking part in crazy challenges?

Will Vayvay bring the 'hey hey'? Will she confuse people with her odd way of speaking? Will she help people overcome personal problems? And will she start a hippie drum circle?

Winnie, the Excitable Cat Lover

Winnie LOVES cats! If you couldn't tell that from the way she dresses, you'd have to be blind (no offense, George). She is sweet, easily excited and is quite bouncy. She doesn't mind dogs but doesn't like it when they chase her cats.

Winnie has five pet cats (Henry, Spooky, Baby, Cornflake and Emerald) and cares for them deeply. She's going to miss them dearly while she's at Wawanakwa but knows her parents will take good care of them. At night all five cats sleep in a fluffy cat basket on Winnie's bed.

Aside from her obvious obsession, Winnie enjoys Disney films, stuffed animals, skateboarding, and thinking of when she'll be back with her pets. Okay, she might be a little bit obsessed, but she's really a truly sweet girl with a very kind heart. She may be blond, but she isn't stupid.

Will Winnie last just over four weeks without her beloved pets? Will she win the big prize and buy her pets a lifetime supply of tuna? And will she manage to love something OTHER than her cats?

Xyly, the Viking

Xyly is directly descended from Vikings and she is proud of it! After all, she does wear an authentic Viking helmet. She speaks with a voice that is deep for a female, though she is still obviously a girl. Her best school subject is gym as she is very strong, which you can probably see. While Xyly looks a little scary, she is generally pretty friendly, unless somebody says Vikings suck, or something similar.

Xyly is a little odd in that she has a collection of Viking weapons; her parents are okay with this as long as the weapons do not leave the house. Xyly is also okay with this rule as she could easily beat down a sasquatch with her bare hands if she wanted to. Xyly is also a fan of the great outdoors and likes to go for walks across the country as her town is near a forest. She uses this time to fish, one of her hobbies ... though she tends to use a spear instead of a fishing rod.

Xyly ocasionally refers to herself in third person despite not really having any difficulty at school. This may just be her Viking blood coming into play. Some people wonder what color eyes she has but hardly anybody knows as her hair covers her eyes completely; though Xyly can still see just fine. Xyly is looking forward to competing on TDL 2. She has all the strength to get far with and she's reasonably intelligent ... but she feels it's going to be her Viking blood that will make her prevail.

Will Xyly prove Vikings are awesome? Will she 'hornbutt' anybody who insults Vikings? Will she sneak a battle axe onto the Island? And will she accidentally scare anyone with her Viking habits?

Yannis, the Mute Guy

Yannis is pretty well-liked at his school and has a happy stable home life. He is very intelligent as well as friendly too. However; Yannis has a big disability ... he can't talk. It's not that he doesn't want to but his vocal cords never developed so he is in fact incapable of even saying a word. Despite this shortcoming, Yannis is able to get by without too much trouble; he is familiar with sign language and has a notebook to write down his thoughts. He can also use body language to communicate. Yannis can cough and sneeze, but those are about the only sounds he is capable of making.

Yannis is an A student and is quite fond of antiques. He has got a large collection of old tin toy soliders from the early 1900s and before. Yannis has a fairly good sense of humor; while he cannot tell jokes he is still able to make people laugh with his wit and by writing down sarcastic snappy comebacks. Yannis feels very much at home in the local library where he studies extracurricular subjects. Yannis is not very easy to trick and can quite easily tell if somebody is trying to manipulate him. He will try and alert people half the time. the other half the time he pretends to be fooled and brings the manipulator's plans crashing to the ground. Yannis is a nice guy and would sooner poison himself than bully somebody.

Yannis auditioned for T.D.L.2 because he wants to show the world that regardless of whether you can speak the right words (or words at all) you can still get by in life. His numerous friends are ready to cheer him on every step of the way. Yannis just has to prove he is useful to his team despite that he isn't very strong as well as being mute. But sometimes actions speak louder than words. Yannis doesn't mind if he wins or loses; as long as he is able to play a fair game and leave with his head held high, he feels it will be alright.

Will Yannis have at least a single line in the entire season? Will he show that quietness can be better than loudness? Will Yannis find some true friends? And will a certain blond girl catch his eye?

Zed, the Farmer

Zed has lived his whole life on his family's farm out in the country. He is naive about a lot of the world and has no idea what things like cellphones and X-Boxes are. Zed is unlike most teens (like YOU) in that he has no problems doing chores around the farm; in fact, he kind of enjoys it. Zed is homeschooled but unlike Ezekiel he knows women are equal to men. Zed is an outdoors kind of guy; his idea of a great day is camping out by himself on the fields of the farm and watching the sunset. Zed hasn't really interacted with other teens before, except at family reunions once a year.

Zed may be very skilled at farming, driving a tractor, herding cattle and shearing sheep ... but he has no real experience with girls. The idea of girlfriends and relationships makes him rather nervous. Plus he doesn't really know what impresses a girl anyway. Zed can play the banjo pretty well and can track animals very well, which is useful when a sheep or cow gets loose from the farm and he has to find it. Zed is pretty good with a hunting rifle and can nail a target from hundreds of yards away. Zed wears a horseshoe on a chain around his neck like a necklace as a sort of 'lucky charm'. Zed, despite being from the country, is rather hopeless at archery; the last time he tried it, that night's pork dinner had an arrow in it.

Zed believes that there is no sense in worrying when things start going wrong because obstacles can all be overcome. Zed auditioned for T.D.L.2 because he wanted to meet some new people and win money for a new tractor for the farm since 'Ol' Betsy' is starting to get rusty. Zed plans to share the rest of the money with his family. Zed is a good egg ... but that can egg be cracked by the more ruthless and cold-hearted contestants in T.D.L.2. Maybe Zed should prove you don't need to be from the city to win a reality show.

Will Zed ever understand the Internet? Will he ever get a haircut? Will he track mud in the mess hall with his muddy boots? And will Zed's lucky horseshoe really grant him good luck?
