Dakota and Sam



This article focuses on the interactions between Dakota and Sam.

Overview
This friendship was developed in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. Being put on the same team together, they both became friends when they realized they were not as different as they appeared to be.

Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!
Dakota and Sam are both placed on the Toxic Rats. Later, when Dakota is caught by Sam after falling, he smiles at her. In the challenge, Sam helps Dakota cut with the saw by telling her to "dig down on the rope."

Truth or Laser Shark
In the beginning of the episode, when Dakota says she has not received enough sleep, Sam tries to compliment her, but is scared away when he sees her eyes. While walking through the forest, Sam awkwardly compliments Dakota on her nostrils. She tries to figure out something to compliment him on, but fails to come up with anything and tells him she will "get back to him later."

During the truth challenge, Sam admits that he farted during his first (and only) date, which left Dakota laughing. Afterwards, Sam mentions that he and Dakota have a lot in common which Dakota mistook it as an insult. Sam quickly covers himself up by saying that they both like technology but besides that she was nothing like him.

Scott makes plans with his team to get Dakota eliminated, which Sam opposes in the confessional. However, she ends up being eliminated, which Sam is visibly upset about. He goes into the confessional disappointed he won't be able to have the chance to ask Dakota out, despite "constantly being rejected" all season long.

Ice Ice Baby
Dakota crashes into Sam via para-glider during the campfire ceremony. She gives him a small wave and remembers his name. Sam is happy to see her again. She is torn away from him quickly.
