Characters

Hosts

• Chris McLean (voiced by Christian Potenza and later Terry McGurrin in season 6) is the Scottish Canadian host of the main Total Drama series. Although he is a popular television personality, Chris is egomaniacal to a fault, often foregoing or willingly going against the contestants' happiness and well-being if it means getting more viewers. This makes him universally hated by the contestants, with their hatred of him being the only thing they can all agree on. While Chris prefers to remain out of the challenges and act more impartially at the beginning of the series, he increasingly becomes more involved to the point of criminal activity. Chris' narcissism causes him to do more things focusing on him (such as making Total Drama Action’s symbol of immunity a "gilded Chris award"). After the last episode of Season 4, Chris was arrested by the government for turning the island into a highly-contaminated toxic waste dump and was sent to prison until he was bailed out by the producers for another season. Chris does not host in The Ridonculous Race due to Don taking over as the show runner here. However, he is briefly seen in the final episode of the season and it is implied that he was actually on vacation.
• Chef Hatchet (voiced by Clé Bennett and later Deven Mack in Total DramaRama and season 6) is the African Canadian chef for the Total Drama series, and the occasional co-host. While not considered an official host, he has hosted on several occasions when Chris is absent. Chef is a large man with a drill sergeant approach to almost everything. He notoriously only cooks horrible food. In Total DramaRama (which acts as a prequel to the original show), Chef is the only teacher of Happy Tots Daycare Centre, where he teaches and looks after the young students.
• Don (voiced by Terry McGurrin) is the host of The Ridonculous Race. Unlike his Total Drama counterpart, Don is always trying to be impartial during challenges, and often shows concern for the contestants' safety when in dangerous situations. Although not to the same extent as Chris, Don has shown to have a slight ego, often adding in small comments about his looks.

Contestants

Debuted in Total Drama Island

• Beth (voiced by Sarah Gadon) is a contestant on Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. She is a friendly girl who tends to get along with everybody due to her amiable behavior. She appears geeky with large glasses, a sideways ponytail and braces, the later of which was removed between seasons. She initially forms an alliance with Heather, but breaks it off due to Heather's bossy attitude before she is voted off due to accidentally cursing her team with an idol she took from Boney Island. In Total Drama Action, she forms a strong friendship with Lindsay and eventually makes it to the finale with Duncan. She also claimed to be dating a handsome boy named Brady, which the other contestants doubted until he showed up in the finale.
• Bridgette (voiced by Kristin Fairlie) is a contestant on Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, and Total Drama World Tour. She is a surfer chick and vegetarian who is passionate about tending animals, even healing a wild bear in Siberia. She starts dating Geoff after both are eliminated during the first season, and the two end up being the first eliminated in the second season due to their constant make out sessions annoying everyone, resulting in them becoming the Aftermath hosts. During World Tour, Bridgette is eliminated after she is tricked by Alejandro into kissing a frozen pole. It also strains her relationship with Geoff, but they manage to move past it. By the time of The Ridonculous Race, the two are still together, but she was unable to compete with him as she had signed up for a surfing competition in Australia.
• Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson (voiced by Peter Oldring and later Wyatt White on Total DramaRama) is a contestant on Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour. He is a geek that tries to be cool but fails constantly. He has a crush on Gwen, who only sees him as an annoying little brother, but puts it aside to help his teammate Trent in the first season.

During World Tour, he is freaked out by Sierra's creepy devotion to him and constantly tries to get rid of her, but accepts her as a friend at the end of the season.

• Courtney (voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow) is a contestant on Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, and Total Drama All-Stars. She is stubborn, highly uptight and very strict, often trying to commandeer her team to no avail. During the first season, she forms a relationship with Duncan, whom she is initially at odds with for his rebellious nature. She is wrongfully eliminated when Harold tampered with the votes in an attempt to get back at Duncan. In the second season, she files a lawsuit that results in her being allowed to compete when she did not initially qualify and becomes the main antagonist before she is voted off by Duncan and Beth before the finale. In the third season, she becomes friends with Gwen, but turns against her and Duncan after the two become a couple. She is later seduced by Alejandro, eventually resulting in her elimination. In All-Stars, she begins to date Scott and rekindles her friendship with Gwen after the latter breaks up with Duncan, but after the other contestants find out she made a chart to plan their eliminations, her new relationships are ruined and she is voted off yet again.

In Total Drama Island, he makes it to the final four but is eliminated by Chef after he and Owen fail a team challenge (with Chef taking pleasure in it due to Duncan annoying him throughout the season). In Total Drama Action, he is targeted for elimination multiple times after Courtney returns to the show but is often spared by luck or the eliminations of other contestants, which helps him make it into the finale with Beth. In Total Drama World Tour, he initially quits the show in the first episode but is forcibly brought back to compete again. When he returns, he kisses Gwen and begins to date her much to Courtney's ire. After making the final five, he is voted off when Alejandro and Heather form an alliance. In All-Stars, he becomes obsessed with getting Courtney's attention and proving to his colleagues and the audience that he is not nice, which causes Gwen to dump him, and he is disqualified and arrested after he blows up Chris's mansion.
• Eva (voiced by Julia Chantrey) is a contestant on Total Drama Island. She is a strong athlete with a fiery temper which causes her to be the second one voted off the island in the first season after losing her MP3 player (which Heather secretly stole).

Over the course of the season, Ezekiel slowly transforms into a feral creature who roams the plane in a desperate attempt to claim the prize money, resulting in it getting destroyed. He returned in both Revenge of the Island and All-Stars, serving as an obstacle for both new and old contestants as he remains a permanent resident of Camp Wawanakwa and later Boney Island. By the time of The Ridonculous Race, he is still missing as a missing poster of him is seen in New York.

During the first season, he develops a crush on Bridgette and the two become a couple. While he makes it far, he is voted off by other contestants fearing his positive attitude if it came down to a popularity contest. After he and Bridgette are the first ones eliminated in the second season, they become the hosts of Total Drama Aftermath, where they interview the eliminated contestants and showcase highlights from the season. The fame of the show causes him to act extremely self-centered, but he eventually changes back.

In All-Stars, she makes several attempts to mend her friendship with Courtney and is eventually successful after breaking up with Duncan, only for it to backfire and fail after she finds out about Courtney's elimination chart.
