Everyone and Duncan

This page is about the conflict between Duncan and almost all of the other campers and staff members. Duncan's tough exterior and even tougher attitude leads to him having some sort of problem or conflict in some sense with almost every other camper of Total Drama Island, as well as Total Drama Action.

Alligator
In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!, Duncan wrestled an alligator when it ate the case. Eventually, Duncan retrieves the case for Courtney, but sprains his ankle shortly afterwards, causing her to ditch him.

Beth
Since they were on opposing teams both seasons, not much interaction was between them. During Masters Of Disasters, Beth begins talking about her "alleged boyfriend", and Duncan says to her that no one would have ever thought that she would have a male model for a boyfriend. In Million Dollar Babies, during LeShawna's apology cheer after she trash-talked the remaining castmates, she suggests that Duncan and Beth are a pair. This is most likely because she thinks they have similarities. A minor conflict grows when in Super Hero-ld, when Beth wants to vote out Duncan because he's mean. She also says that it will probably kill Courtney to have Duncan voted off. In Princess Pride, Duncan was a bit sickened by Beth's BFF burito.

Bridgette
During Hide and Be Sneaky, Duncan orchestrated the Guy's Alliance. Even without Geoff's help, he used it's power to vote off potentially threatening Bridgette for her all-around likeliness and athleticism. Next season, she and Geoff were the first ones to leave because of their constant make-out sessions. Bridgette was confused, claiming that everyone liked them; however, Duncan said that she was right. Everyone "liked" them (implying that they used to like Geoff & Bridgette). During her talk show segment, she begins to make fun of him, along with Geoff and the commentators. See the Bridgette-Duncan Conflict page for more information.

Chef Hatchet
Duncan easily began to get on Chef Hatchet's nerves. During Basic Straining, he finds ways to get to the final challenge, but not without annoying Chef on the way. Other episodes where Chef took charge of the challenges, notably in Hide and Be Sneaky and Are We There, Yeti?. During the hiding challenge, Chef Hatchet had no trouble finding Duncan after finding clues to where he was. Duncan's elimination first season was profoundly due to this conflict. Next season, he argues with Duncan over who should do what in the challenge in Riot on Set and The Sand Witch Project, even though he wasn't supposed to interfere with either team. See the Chef Hatchet-Duncan Conflict page for more information.

Chris McLean
When Duncan arrived to the island, he tells Chris that he doesn't like surprises, though Chris counters him by saying that he would send Duncan back to "juvie" if anything were to "happen". During The Big Sleep, Chris gets the cameraman to get a close up of Duncan, who came in 2nd place in the previous sleeping challenge. In the next episode, Dodgebrawl, Duncan nearly threatens Chris when he wouldn't let him rest. In X-Treme Torture, Duncan threatens Chris again after he pokes fun at him when he lost the last challenge for the Bass against the least-expecting winning Gopher. In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, Duncan tries to get Chris to stop making fun at him after he sees his carving of his and Courtney's initials on the back of the wooden head of Courtney, until LeShawna manages to stop him. Later on in the next season, in 3:10 to Crazytown, Duncan's team had to wear udder-hats (to symbolize cows) while the the other team had to wear cowboy hats (to symbolize cow wranglers). Chris then asks the Gaffers if the "cows" would like some hay, Duncan counters (and nearly threatens) him by asking if the host would like a udder sandwich.

Courtney
Even though they are in a relationship, some conflict arose in many instances before their "climax point", as well as after, especially lately, when Courtney returns in the second season. See the Courtney-Duncan Relationship page for more information.

DJ
Despite being friends, During the Total Drama Island theme song, DJ has his way with the peaceful Wawanakwa animals, until a dead fish (courtesy of Owen) dropped into his midst, which caused the animals to attack him. This caused Duncan to laugh at his misfortune. Duncan was quick to call out DJ (and Courtney) for elimination after the cliff dive challenge when both failed to jump, which cost their team the win. He and Geoff are considered to be Duncan's best friends while on the island. See the DJ-Duncan-Geoff Friendship page for more information.

Eva
During Total Drama Island and its sequel, Eva and Duncan had had numerous changes with their friendship-hatred towards each other. During The Big Sleep, Eva accuses everyone of voting her off and plans on getting revenge, without even knowing if everyone (including Duncan) actually voted for her. Around the beginning of No Pain, No Game, Chris tells Duncan and the other 9 remaining campers that she and Izzy would return to the island. Hatred between the two had been shown even more when Duncan was seen looking scared upon her arrival, as well as Eva saying that she would get revenge on her "backstabbing Bass team who voted her off". Duncan had shown even more conflict towards Eva when he chanted with the rest of the group her name for Bridgette to choose her to go into a crate with Sasquatchinakwa for 10 seconds. Although, it should be noted, that he was one of the only people not to vote Eva off, instead he voted for Heather. However, with all of this hatred, their friendship on Eva's side was still present, when, in Haut Camp-ture, Eva claimed to like Duncan's "style" when talking about the dodgeball challenge in Dodgebrawl. Next Season, in the first Aftermath, Eva was seen to be against Duncan "breaking up" the relationship between Gwen and Trent. See the Eva-Duncan Friendship page for more information.

Ezekiel
Ezekiel got on bad terms with almost every female camper around the beginning of the season. When the Bass lost the challenge that episode, Duncan told Ezekiel that he had "a lot to learn about the real world".

Geoff
Duncan and Geoff's friendship always strayed in certain points. During Brunch of Disgustingness, Geoff (on the male team) helps Bridgette (on the female team) in one of the mini-challenges, which caused his team to lose the point for that mini-challenge. This got Duncan furious, however, they immediately made up after Chris's interjection, much to Bridgette's surprise. At the end of Hide and Be Sneaky, Duncan finds out that Geoff didn't stay loyal to the Guy's Alliance by voting Bridgette off (even though she did leave without his help). Geoff was then seen saying good night to the rest of the boys outside the cabin, upside down, hanging on a tree. To Duncan, this disloyalty (as well as his all-around niceness) caused him to be voted off later in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon. Next season, Geoff only made it to the second episode, when he and Bridgette were kicked off in Alien Resurr-eggtion. As Bridgette is clueless to why they were kicked off, Duncan tells them both that the remaining cast-mates used to like them, but now that they began to make out so much, the likeliness has gone. This episode mainly marked Geoff and Duncan's ending friendship; especially since, in the first Aftermath, Geoff was seen actually making fun of Duncan in a small show segment. See the DJ-Duncan-Geoff Friendship page for more information.

Gwen
During Hide and Be Sneaky, Gwen was definitely with LeShawna and Bridgette for voting off "criminal" Duncan. Not much as a conflict between the two, but, considering their future acts with each other, Gwen doesn't consider Duncan to be a sane person in The Very Last Episode, Really!. During the second season, in Beach Blanket Bogus, Duncan begins to pull pranks on Trent; this caused Gwen to playfully slap Duncan on the backside of his head. Even with these instances, during the second season, the contact between Gwen and Duncan has been a friendship. See the Gwen-Duncan Relationship page for more information.

Harold
Harold is arguably the most conflicted person with Duncan. They got off to a terrible start first episode when Duncan almost threatened to punch him. He criticized Harold's dodgeball skills during the dodgeball challenge, even though those same skills are what saved his team. Ironically, his breaking point with Duncan was the actual starting point for Duncan and Courtney. During Basic Straining he rigged the votes against Courtney, founded upon only through spite towards Duncan. During the first season, his grudge began to simmer, especially after his elimination the very next episode. Harold is still seen to hate Duncan for his previous acts, seen in Haut Camp-ture. During the special, he was deprived of going with Duncan & Courtney to hunt for the $1 Million because of their mutual dislike of him. Next season, Duncan finally tells the viewers, in 3:10 to Crazytown, that the obvious reason for him to keep bullying Harold was because of his grudge towards him for eliminating Courtney last season. As of Full Metal Drama, Harold stood up to Duncan and may signify a small friendship. However, the two continue to hold grudges throughout each other. LeShawna originally planned an alliance with Duncan and Harold in One Flu Over the Cuckoos in order to get Heather off the show, but they refused. LeShawna later finally got the two of them in her alliance in Dial M for Merger after Heather was voted off the the previous episode. Unfortunately, Duncan and Harold immediately dumped LeShawna in Super Hero-ld in order to be with Justin to start a new Guys' Alliance. See the Courtney+Duncan-Harold Conflict page for more information.

Heather
Duncan is very well known to sarcastically call Heather by pet names, much to her annoyance. Ironically, next season, Heather always calls Duncan out of his name, referring to his juvenile record. See the Heather-Duncan Conflict page for more information.

Izzy
Duncan agrees with everyone about Izzy's usual nature, pure insanity. In Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, Duncan found Izzy's "sharp-shooting" tranquilizer skills very amusing when a tranquilizer dart was shot in Heather's butt. Being in a temporary alliance with Heather, because of this, Heather and Duncan voted Izzy off the island that episode.Some fans have made an Izzy-Duncan relationship

Justin
Even though they had no connection on Total Drama Island, as they were on separate teams, Duncan was very annoyed when Justin refused to help him open the trailer door in The Chefshank Redemption because Justin was afraid that he'd ruin his manicure if he tried to help. The two have been interacting recently mostly in the guys' trailer and in Super Hero-ld, Justin convinces Duncan and Harold to start a new Guys' Alliance

in order to vote off one of the four remaining girls since they were outnumbered by them. Duncan and Harold agreed to join him. In Princess Pride their conflict hits a whole new level when Justin falls for Courtney, who Duncan also likes. Towards the beginning of the episode, Duncan misleads Justin in the first part of the challenge, getting Justin hurt, to which Duncan laughs. Then, Justin spots Duncan cheating in the same challenge, but Chris does not believe him. After that Justin begins to fall for Courtney and says that they would make a very attractive couple, much to Duncan's anger. They continue to get into arguments over Courtney, mostly resulting from Duncan's jealousy that Courtney seems to be responding kindly to Justin's flirting. At the end of the episode Justin is eliminated and Duncan, along with the other contestants, are clearly not upset that he is leaving.

Katie & Sadie
During The Sucky Outdoors, both girls got separated from the rest of their team. Duncan was one of the first to notice this and asked everyone if they had seen "Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Idiot" (signaling a negative step-up from the usual saying, "Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum"). Sadie frowned when Duncan picked her and Harold as canoe partners in Up the Creek.

LeShawna
These two have had numerous experiences of hatred, mainly through Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon. During this episode's first challenge, Duncan cheats his way to the better position (eating food), giving LeShawna the latter position (feeding the food). Seeing that he cheated, she made the challenge difficult, even if it meant losing the challenge, for him by force-feeding the food to him. Second challenge, Duncan "dared" LeShawna to forfeit (implying that he would do something to her if she were to). Middle of second challenge and into the third challenge, they began to show signs of friendship when finding things in common to talk about. During Total Drama Action, LeShawna tries to form an alliance with him and Harold, but to no avail, since Harold and Duncan refuse to work together (even though they are on similar terms), due to an earlier conflict. In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, Duncan refused to trust LeShawna after her "fake win." Duncan, along with everyone, were angry with LeShawna when she secretly made some rude comments about him and the others coming from Courtney's PDA in Million Dollar Babies, but he immediately forgave her after she made an apologetic cheer to everyone during the tie-breaker challenge. This quickly changes in Dial M for Merger when Duncan and the others continue to give LeShawna the cold shoulder even though she had apologized to everyone. LeShawna later finally got Duncan and Harold to be in her alliance that same episode after she previously tried to form one in One Flu Over the Cuckoos. Unfortunately in Super Hero-ld, Duncan immediately votes LeShawna off and their alliance due to her being a threat. See the LeShawna-Duncan Conflict page for more information.

Lindsay
In Brunch of Disgustingness, Chris explains that the challenge will be a regular "Battle of the Sexes". Duncan gives emphasis to the word "sexes" towards Lindsay by winking at her. She responded by sticking her tongue out at him. In That's Off the Chain!, Duncan supported Lindsay's struggle when finding out that Heather had been using her, saying that it was "cold". He seemed arguably sad at the Dock of Shame this episode, and smiled a tad when Lindsay said goodbye to him. However, during Haut Camp-ture, Lindsay calls him cruel and claims to hate his treatment towards deer and trees. Lindsay joined Beth and LeShawna to voted Duncan off in Super Hero-ld, but fails due to LeShawna's elimination. Also, in Princess Pride, Duncan makes fun of Lidsay's large feet, even calling Lindsay "Big Foot", which upset her.

Noah


The first problem sprung in the season was between these two when Noah's sadistic sarcasm towards Duncan's piercings gets to him in the first episode.

During the special, Duncan and Courtney pair up, but also splits up after Duncan "sprains" his ankle. After Courtney takes the case and leaves him, Izzy literally drops on her. After Izzy takes the case, Eva passes Duncan and catches up to Izzy, though Noah stops at Duncan to talk to him about how he just became "less of a man after Courtney turns on him". This enrages Duncan and forces him to try and "get" him, but only ends up taking his pants. See the Duncan-Noah Conflict page for more information.

Owen
Along with Heather, Duncan is one of the main people to criticize Owen over his weight and/or consumption habits. Duncan was seen mocking Owen's hunting skills when he got away from Owen in Paintball Deer Hunter. Later, in Are We There, Yeti?, Duncan and Owen were seen working together, and Duncan says he's excited to have been paired with him, but only because he knew that if a bear came that it would go after Owen first, considering his weight. Though Duncan and Owen have mocked each other many times, there are instances where they are seen as somewhat good friends. See the Everyone-Owen Friendship page for more information.

Trent
As these two didn't have much any conflict with each other last season, Trent's jealousy and craziness towards Duncan "stealing" (in his eyes) Gwen from him, drove them to become partial enemies. See the Duncan-Trent Conflict page for more information.

Tyler
There was no real conflict between Duncan and Tyler, but during Phobia Factor, Duncan was seen mocking Tyler's fear of chickens when he was leaving for the loser boat. They also fought over a hammer which ended up in Harold's groin in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2.
