Beth and Duncan

This article focuses on the interactions between Beth and Duncan.

Overview
Duncan and Beth have no interaction with each other in Total Drama Island, due to them being on different teams, as well as Beth's elimination before the merge. In the next season, they are once again placed on opposing teams and don't have much interaction until the merge. At first, Beth, like most contestants, dislikes Duncan as he is being mean to the others. Additionally, Beth tries to vote off Duncan several times in order to spite his girlfriend, Courtney, whom Beth greatly dislikes. However, things change when they manage to outlast the other contestants to reach the final two and their new friendship blooms as they were shown helping one another to make it to the finish line. By the end of Total Drama Action, Duncan begins to respect Beth while she realizes that he is softer than he seems.

Get a Clue
After Chris was thought to be dead, Beth and Harold both panicked, and Duncan yelled at them to get it together. Later, Beth, Harold and Lindsay believes that Duncan "murdered" Chris as they found a single green hair next to Chris' body and also because Duncan isn't around when the body disappeared and handcuffs him to a to a guardrail. In the end however, Lindsay discovers that Duncan was innocent and Courtney is the true culprit. As the winner of the challenge, Lindsay took Duncan to the movies with her. This shocked Beth but in the confessional, Beth isn't angry at Lindsay or Duncan because Lindsay's plan has successfully made Courtney jealous and angry.

Rock n' Rule
Beth and Lindsay once again try to vote off Duncan at the ceremony because Courtney had invincibility again. They manage to get the help of Harold, due to his feud with Duncan. The plan almost succeed but Lindsay was eliminated instead as she accidentally voted for herself. When Duncan laughs at Lindsay's stupidity, Beth is seen glaring at him.

2008: A Space Owen
After leaving the Vomit Comet, Beth explains to the others on how she manage to hold her stomach. Although Duncan was disgusted with her methods (since he vomits in the machine in his turn which supposedly makes it harder for anyone after him), he compliments Beth for performing well.

Top Dog
Beth pities Duncan for needing to memorize a thirty-two paged letter listing his faults if he ever wanted to have a serious relationship with Courtney. After getting out from a pit he had fell into during the animal challenge, Duncan attacked Beth twice, first with a slingshot, and then with a tranquilizer dart. At the elimination ceremony, they both vote for Courtney causing her to be was voted off and Owen was fired from his job as a mole, Chris declare Beth and Duncan the final two of Total Drama Action, much to their delight.

Mutiny on the Soundstage
The night before the finale, Beth chatters so loudly that Duncan can hear her from his trailer. This annoyed Duncan to the point that he couldn't sleep. The next morning, Duncan and Beth found themselves tied to the mast of a ship. During this, Beth tells Duncan that they should help each other out, but Duncan refuses as he believes that she'll betray him once he unties her. Beth claims she would never; however, Duncan questions her pure motives. When the challenge begins, Beth begs Duncan to help her clean her stall but Duncan refuses. Duncan later has to clean his again after Sasquatchanakwa uses his stall a second time. Beth spitefully refuses Duncan's request for help in the same way he did to her. Angrily, Duncan tells her that "the gloves are off." Duncan again ignores Beth when she has trouble climbing the mast and proceeds to put his flag on top of the ship first. With this, Duncan has a huge lead ahead of Beth. However, Duncan has problem answering Chef Hatchet's questions and has to perform all the challenges from the season again. Beth on the other hand, is able to answer the questions correctly and is finally able to catch up with Duncan at the set of Top Dog.

In the end, the two finalists fail to answer their respective questions about Courtney correctly and have to compete the earthquake simulation challenge from Masters of Disasters. At this point, Duncan and Beth start to work together, which is what Beth wanted from the beginning. Before the challenge starts, Duncan tells Beth to stay close to him. The two take pleasure in taunting Chris when he fails to shoot them down. Duncan finally repays Beth's earlier favor by saving her from a projectile toilet. After Chef and Chris shoot Duncan with a safe, Duncan tells Beth to go on without him. Beth refuses to leave him, and states that they can tie for first place. In the end, Duncan and Beth reach the Aftermath studio at the same time, which leads to a tiebreaker.

The Aftermath: IV
Beth and Duncan are mad at Bridgette and Geoff for showing random clips of the season rather than thinking of a way to determine a winner. Harold suggests the two of them play a contortion game but this too ended up in a tie. Once Chris returns, Duncan and Beth have to answer questions asked by the eliminated contestants, including taking a part in a dance-off from Izzy and a eating contest from Owen. At one point, Duncan told Beth that he should have split the prize money with her to avoid all the questions and challenges.
