Noah

Noah, labeled The High IQ, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He did not compete in Total Drama Action. He returns for Total Drama World Tour and is currently on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.

Biography
Ever since Noah was in diapers and examining the nutritional content of his pablum ingredients, his parents knew they had a child genius in their midst. Noah is a child prodigy with IQ readings off the charts, but the only numbers Noah is proud of are the high scores of his video game competitions. He's the only one in his Underground Alliance who knows how to get to the Secret 12th Level of "Dragon Assassin". His heroes are Newton, Pythagoras, and Kranthor from the game Kosmic Kaos. With his multiweaponed-fantasyland survival skills, he auditioned to Total Drama Island in hopes to apply those skills to the real world. While he's not really coordinated or athletic, Noah is clever enough to come up with remarkable theories of why he should sit this one out, should he be asked to participate in anything that involves more than mental acuity. He learned that one in gym class. He may have an active mind, but he sure likes to sit. He includes that as one of his favorite hobbies, along with lying down and occasionally leaning. He knows he'll take a lot of heat for being the egghead nerd of the group, so he intends to beat them to the punch by unleashing an arsenal of sarcastic digs and put downs. He's got a sharp mind and plans on doing a lot of cutting. Being the runt of a nine-sibling family, Noah has found a way to use brains over brawn with clever manipulation. He never got picked on in the schoolyard because he knew how to draft some lunkhead into smashing somebody's face if they got too close.

Total Drama Island
Noah seems to be sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic, and sardonic to most. In Haute Camp-ture, he mentions that he prefers LeShawna over Duncan, Gwen, Heather, and Owen because of her strategy of locking Heather in the freezer in If You Can't Take The Heat... and in The Very Last Episode, Really! Noah is one of the campers that originally sided with Owen, not needing to be bribed by a party like the others, this is most likely related to their friendship.

In Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Noah is the twelfth person to arrive to the island, quickly asking Chris if he got his memo about his life threatening allergies. Chris replies that he's sure that someone did. He then asks if this is where they're staying. Duncan pipes up with saying it's his mother's house. Noah then comments about his piercings and asks if he did them himself. Duncan then threatens him, grabs his lip, and asks if he wants one. Noah doesn't seem scared at all and simply asks for his lip back. He is later put on the Screaming Gophers.

In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Noah doesn't have any lines but he seems to be doing a decent job at challenges. He isn't seen diving off the cliff, but is later seen to be in the safe zone, indicating that he jumped successfully. After the Gophers win the first challenge, Noah, Owen and LeShawna do a victory dance at the hot tub party.

In The Big Sleep, Noah is doing pretty well 20-kilometer run, however, he later passes out due to lack of air and has to be rescued by Owen who quickly applies CPR. Noah might not have fully passed out or may have been faking to get carried, because when the Gophers win the race, he is suddenly revives and cheers with the rest of his team. When the sleeping part of the challenge starts, Noah is one of the first contestants to fall asleep. He accidentally kisses Cody on the ear in his sleep and eventually they both wake up screaming, embarassed and freaked out by what happened.

When Chris introduces the challenge in Dodgebrawl, Noah sarcastically calls it, "another mentally straining challenge", to which Lindsay seriously agrees. When the challenge starts, all Noah does is read while his team works, explaining that sports aren't his forté. He sarcastically cheers for his team throughout the dodgeball competition, and the anger felt by the team after they lose is directed at Noah when he hypocritically tells them that they put in a weak effort. At the elimination ceremony, he appears to be very confident about staying over Lindsay and is shocked when he is voted out. He tells his former team that they made a huge mistake in voting him out and they throw marshmallows at him. Considering his attitude in this episode in the previous one, it is insinuated that Noah has the potential to be a strong competitor, but simply lacks the will and/or desire to utilize said potential and only does so when he sees fit.

In Haute Camp-ture, the episode begins with Noah sitting at a refreshments bar in the Playa Des Losers pool, along with Katie and Sadie while Izzy swims around them. Noah reveals that he's rooting for LeShawna due to the fact that she locked Heather in the fridge in If You Can't Take The Heat... In this episode, the incident between Noah and Cody is mentioned by Izzy, much to his annoyance. Izzy also teases him later, which slightly irritates him. After hearing Courtney complain about being voted off Noah boredly tells her to get over it, in response she throws her glass at him. After hearing that Lindsay made it on the cover of "star-stalker magazine," he congratulates her and then tells her, "You just peaked, it's all downhill from here, honey."

In the special, Noah teams up with Izzy and Eva, more-or-less being civil with them most of the time (but admits in the Confessional stall that he finds Izzy to be off-kilter). He is somewhat sadistic, a trait most prominently shown in Haute Camp-ture. He still showed this trait when Duncan was reeling in pain from a sprained ankle after Courtney abandons him; Noah stood there and insulted Duncan to his face, thinking he was too helpless to retaliate, but Noah underestimated him and lost his pants as a result. He also did not hesitate to scold Eva for falling for Justin's charms when they were in possession of the case. Noah has a distinct dislike for Justin, even calling him "The Anti-Me." This feud seems to have originated when Justin voted off Noah and later escalated during their stay in Playa Des Losers, possibly because of the characters' clashing personalities. The feud is shown in the special, when Noah calls Justin the "anti-me."

It is possible that Noah has played a part in helping Eva with her anger management, as he both scolded her and reminded her that crushing Justin's skull was a step too far. Eva accepted Noah's advice as constructive criticism, rather than responding with rage as she normally would have in the past. At the end of the episode, he and Eva dump buckets of chum on Justin, who had just obtained the million-dollar case from Lindsay. Izzy then runs in and steals the case while Justin is distracted, but Noah and Eva do not run with her then, thus not having enough time to run to the dock and land in the lake to tie with the other campers. This made Noah ineligible to participate in Total Drama Action.

Total Drama Action
Noah returns to Total Drama Action as a commentator on Total Drama Action Aftermath, along with the other eliminated contestants. Noah was shown to get along with the other campers during the events of The Aftermath: I, The Aftermath: II, The Aftermath: III, Mutiny on the Soundstage, and The Aftermath: IV. He is shown to be somewhat uncaring in The Aftermath: I when Trent is playing his guitar and singing about Gwen, Noah is the only one who shows no sympathy.

For the rest of the season, Noah does nothing but sit quietly watching the Aftermath hosts run the show. He does however give the sarcastic, yet friendly "Yeah, right," to Owen during the season finale when he says he will eat healthier. Also, in the finale's alternate ending, he is the first one seen congratulating Beth when she wins.

In the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, people try to find information on where Noah has been since the show ended, but all they got was a blurry photo shot of him. Later, at the Gemmies, he reveals that he is Chris' assistant. He is fired minutes later by Chris because his latte was cold. He later joins the rest of the cast on a race to New York before the "Dirtbags" get there. They use DJ's bus, after Izzy's plan of building a boat proves to require too much work. Later, Noah insults Harold's plan to use some sort of bra-catapult to slow down the Dirtbags' bus. They use the idea because, as Gwen points out, there are no better ones. When the bus flies over a cliff, he gets squished by Owen. He is one of the contestants to stay behind with the bus. He is one of the contestants that Chris rescued and he was set to compete in Total Drama World Tour.

Total Drama World Tour
During the first episode Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Noah's personality stays consistent with that shown in the earlier seasons, although his friendships with Owen and Izzy appear to have improved greatly. In the episode's song Come Fly With Us, Noah expresses some concern that the plane might kill them when he notices that one propeller is giving off smoke. He goes under the pyramid with Owen and Izzy in the challenge. He and Owen dress Izzy up like a mummy, but she gets separated from them. They later find "Izzy," but it is actually Ezekiel wrapped in mummy bandages. Noah notices that it isn't Izzy, screams, and runs out of the pyramid with Owen, both believing that Ezekiel is a real mummy. By the end of the episode, Noah and Owen become part of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot along with Sierra, Tyler and Alejandro.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Noah overhears Sierra talk about Cody, calling her information about him and his stuffed Emu, Jerry, "stalker-licious." Later, Noah is seen sitting behind Tyler on the team's Goat, with Sierra balanced on his shoulders, Noah is able to support her weight easily but sways slightly from the imbalance. He expresses skepticism at their plan but when Alejandro manages to balance the team's weight, he admits that he's impressed. When Izzy and Sierra swap teams, he accepts her quickly and makes sure that Izzy doesn't help her former team. Despite this, Alejandro later lets her help them to make sure that they trust him. Noah and his team are second to make it to the finish line, but are safe from elimination because the they held onto their goat.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, Noah tells Owen that he shouldn't be afraid of flying, unless the aircraft is in poor condition. After he says this, part of the plane comes off and nearly takes everyone out of the plane, but Owen's straps break and he clogs the hole. While the contestants fall from the plane the bell chimes, indicating the contestants must sing while falling, prompting Noah to yell, "Seriously!? I mean, seriously!?" at Chris, Noah remains incredulous, but sings Before We Die alongside the others. In the first challenge, Noah says that he can't participate in the pinball challenge because he's allergic to panda dander and he gets hives, most likely because he was afraid of the Panda, because of what the other did to DJ. In the second challenge, Noah doesn't care how the commercial is done or what props they use but participates in the challenge anyway by building a miniature replica of a city and calming Owen down so he doesn't wreck it before the commercial can be taped. He also edits the commercial and acts in it. He and his team finish in second place and are safe from elimination, but can not sleep in first class in the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.

In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better Noah tries to buckle up when the plane is experiencing turbulence, but his strap breaks, to which he comments, "Perfect." When they arrive in the Yukon, all of the contestants get cold very fast and Noah tries to cuddle up to Bridgette, but she reminds him that she has a boyfriend. In response, Owen lets Noah know that he can cuddle him and gives him a bear-hug. After seeing Izzy going through the ice floes quite easily, Noah jumps onto one, but slips and lands face-first on it. Owen then jumps on the block to help him, but ends up flipping Noah's end up and sends Noah flying into a snowbank. Noah is the first person his team picks up during the challenge, since Tyler was pulling the sled and Izzy got on from the beginning. His team falls behind at one point and almost falls off a cliff until Tyler saves them, while the team is hanging off the cliff, Noah is the second member of the chain, after Tyler, and manages to hang onto the sled itself rather than a team mate. Later, as they are going down a steep slope, they find themselves in dead last, with Team Amazon and Team Victory both neck-and-neck, about to cross the finish line. Noah tells Owen to lean forward and use his weight to help their sled accelerate. This works, and at the last second, their entire team crosses the finish line a moment before Team Victory would've crossed, with Team Amazon right behind them. This is the first time that Noah uses his strategic and clever mind to ultimately win a challenge for his team. He high-fives Izzy in celebration of their team's victory, having won their first challenge of the season and earning them all a stay in the first-class cabin for the first time.

In Broadway, Baby!, Noah was first shown being crushed by Owen and sarcastically thanks his team for not noticing he was missing all night. As the contestants arrive at the Drop of Shame Noah asks Chris why he is wearing a lifejacket while the contestants aren't, to which Chris replies that his life is worth more than the contestants. At the statue Noah and his team are shown struggling to pull Owen up the statue. When Sierra mentions that Chris once hosted a cooking show that was canceled after one episode, Noah and the other contestants laughed at Chris' expense, making it the first time in Total Drama history that Noah is heard laughing. After his team goes into the sewer for the next part of the challenge, he is heard making gagging sounds in disgust. Noah volunteers to be his team's baby in the apple bobbing challenge and tells Tyler to make a mental note of the fact that Lindsay likes being called, "Baby". But when the apple bobbing challenge begins, Noah falls asleep in the baby carriage, most likely from his lack of sleep the night before caused by Owen sitting on him. So Heather switches his carriage with one with a real baby. His team doesn't notice the switch and continues anyway. When they reach the finish line, they quickly realize their mistake. Alejandro rushes back to get him, but it is too late, and they lose. Since the challenge is a reward, no one from Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is voted off.

In Slap Slap Revolution, Noah is the first to notice the Alps. He starts off Eine Kleine by telling Owen to lower his voice to prevent an avalanche. When the challenge starts, Alejandro throws Izzy to him and tells him to stop her from falling into the meat grinder. He can't sustain her weight and falls down, complaining about his pelvis being injured. Noah is later seen being carried around by Izzy, possibly due to his injury, to which Noah doesn't seem to mind. He teases Cody for having a "tiny sausage", a double-entendre on the unimpressive sausage that Team Amazon had made. His team decides to use Owen as their sausage after he eats it. He is enthusiastic about this, sitting at the front and making a joke about the team having to board the "Wiener Express" (complete with German accent). His team crosses the finish line first, getting an advantage in the next part of the challenge. He is one of the three participants in the dance challenge along with Owen and Alejandro. Early on, he teases Cody for wearing lederhosen. During the game Noah asks Alejandro why he had been giving LeShawna a pep talk, pointing out that he was helping the enemy. Alejandro praises Noah for deducing his actions and explains that he's working an angle to benefit the team. Noah seems to accept this and says nothing of it. Noah is the first one out of the challenge, after LeShawna kicks him off his board. Noah is then exasperated by Alejandro when he seems to throw the challenge and give the win to Team Amazon. Later, he is grossed out that Owen is eating the same sausage that he had thrown up earlier.

In The Am-AH-Zon Race, Noah is seen huddled up on a bench in economy class, sleeping until a rat falls into his mouth, he immediately spits it out and gags, wiping frantically at his mouth before making a frustrated noise and complaining about having to sleep in economy class. Once the plane lands, he appears so have calmed down, exchanging a smile with Tyler as Chris explains the challenge. His team eventually reach a river, where they have to take a zip line across it without using a T-bar, after Tyler is attacked by piranhas and makes a dash for the shore Noah compliments him for having good vertical then smirks at a joke Chris makes. He makes it across the river when Izzy stuffs him in her backpack and then ziplines across to save them time. Later, when Owen whines about wanting nachos, Noah sarcastically replies with a list of other things they need but don't have, which Izzy writes down as he speaks, later, at night Owen worriedly asks if a nearby growling sound was coming from their campfire, to which he sarcastically replies, "Fires rarely growl." and the team is then attacked by giant Amazonian caterpillars. The next morning Noah, along with Tyler and Izzy, are seen sleeping, covered in red spots and clutching sticks that were presumably used as weapons the previous night. He and his team finish in second place and Noah is last seen sitting in the dining area with his team (aside from Tyler) while looking down at his plate sadly.

In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, Noah is seen sitting between Owen and Sierra in economy class. Tyler begins pining over Lindsay, prompting Owen to try to relate, saying, "When I'm away from Izzy, I'm really... uh..." Noah bitterly asks if Owen was about to say, "Happy", and then describes Izzy as being as a nutjob of Brazil Nut proportions. During the challenge when the team is being chased by Sasquatchanakwa, Noah is the only contestant to face it head-on rather than fleeing. He holds up his hand to make it look like he's holding a ball, moves his arm back and forth in front of the Sasquatchanakwa's face to get it's attention and then mimes throwing it, causing the Sasquatchanakwa to run after it excitedly. Noah explains that this trick always worked on his dog back home.

Later, Noah is selected by his teammates to get past a series of lasers in order to reach a part of the team's statue, he accepts this duty, and, after navigating his way through some security lasers, is able to successfully retrieve the piece. Noah the only member of his team working to assemble their statue when the team reaches the Pyramid Court, despite Tyler's horribly nonsensical instructions Noah manages to finish the statue before Team Amazon or Team Victory do, but due to Team Amazon's statue parts getting mixed with theirs, their statue of Venus has arms by accident. After they redo the statue, Noah is seen sitting on the statue's shoulders as he attaches the head, securing his team in second place and saving them from elimination. Later, in the elimination challenge for Team Victory Noah is sitting on the side of the stage, next to Lindsay. When Tyler comes passes by, he and Alejandro burst out laughing, much to Tyler's displeasure.

In Newf Kids on the Rock, Noah tries to teach Owen how to make an alliance, saying that it's just like asking out a girl. Owen in response asks DJ if he wants to get some hot dogs with Noah and that Noah had complimented his legs. Noah sarcastically tells DJ that that was exactly what he told Owen to say. When Heather falls out of the vents in the jumbo jet after spying on Team Chris, Noah smiles in amusement. Later Noah is the second team member to arrive at the boats, gliding through the water rather than paddling like the others, and is assisted onto the team's boat by Alejandro. He and Tyler both act as oarsmen and manage to overtake Team Amazon with ease. Noah does not participate in the song, "Sea Shanty" but is seen smiling in approval of Izzy's fishing skills during it. When Jerd McLean arrives he swings his arms around Alejandro and Noah while talking in an unintelligible accent, prompting Noah and Alejandro to exchange confused glances. He and Alejandro are later assigned the task of deciphering Jerd's sentence. Noah doesn't understand it at all and asks if what he's saying are even words. After Tyler and DJ are assigned with the task of making-out with fish, Noah says in the confessional that he isn't surprised that his little cousins aren't allowed to watch Total Drama. Owen says in the confessional later in agreement that Noah's auntie is right to prevent them from watching the show. Noah is last seen happily eating the food Heather had prepared earlier.

In Jamaica Me Sweat Noah is seen in first class with his team. When Tyler cheerfully comments that winning really is everything, Noah boredly replies, "Says the guy who frenched a cod..." After Owen eats one of his cucumber masks and burps, Noah waves away Owen's breathe and tells him that it was a facial, not a fruit plate. When Owen tells Noah that he wants to break up with Izzy, Noah responds by calling Izzy, "Nutty as a ten time bag of pecans smothered in peanut butter encased in a cashew the size of China." Later, after the plane crashed on the shore of Jamaica, Noah asks Chris if he had funds for the whole season. During the first challenge, Noah jokingly tells Tyler that he gets to do all the diving, unexpectedly, Tyler approves of this. Noah is seen holding out a hand so that Tyler can tag him and switch places, but Tyler dismisses it, wanting to do the challenge by himself. After they lose the challenge and are about to call a break, Chris asks if Chef will ever fix the plane so he can leave while he is still young. Noah jokingly wonders if they had landed in the seventies, to Tyler and Sierra's amusement, only for an angry Chris to shove him off the cliff they were standing atop. During the next challenge, Noah is paired with Owen to ride of the course on the bobsled, due to Owen's obesity, he gets trapped in one of the pipes, causing Noah to fall off the coaster and end up hanging from Owen's foot while holding onto the board. He quickly tells Owen to suck his stomach in, this works and they get through the rest of the pipes normally, although Owen gets stuck once again at the very end. At the end he is crushed by Owen, but gives a thumbs-up, indicating he isn't injured. Noah is last seen celebrating with his team while eating in the plane.

Audition tape
In his audition, Noah introduces himself, saying that although the viewer doesn't know him yet, they soon will and that he has a plan. His explanation is interrupted when a classmate of his, Joey, congratulates Noah on winning class president, telling him that he deserves it. Noah seems annoyed at the interruption at first but smiles and thanks him before turning back towards the camera and saying that intelligence is what wins in the end, ending his audition by re-assuring the viewer that he's, "got this one in the bag".

Camp TV
Noah (along with Izzy, Courtney and Heather) was one of the few campers to not appear in Camp TV. However, his current design bears some resemblance to Ezekiel's original design, meaning his role was likely merged with Ezekiel's.
