Gwen and Lindsay

The Gwen-Lindsay Friendship article is about the minor friendship and conflict between Gwen and Lindsay.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
When Lindsay is concerned her meal may go against her diet of primarily everything, Gwen promises her that due to the nature of Chef's "food", she thinks it won't be a problem. Lindsay smiles with her newfound assurance, saying that it's cool now.

Not Quite Famous
When Heather was reading Gwen's diary out loud, Lindsay gasped in surprise, along with most of the other Screaming Gophers.

If You Can't Take The Heat...
Lindsay and Gwen were both assigned to make the dessert portion of their three-course dinner, and according to Heather, that would be the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Flambé. After Heather burned herself while lighting up the flambé, Lindsay laughed along with Gwen. They both eagerly watched Chris McLean eat the cake they made together, only to be horrified when he choked on a piece of the flambé.

X-Treme Torture
Gwen happily cheered along with everyone else when Chris announced that Lindsay won the challenge for the Gophers.

Hide and Be Sneaky
Heather complains when she finds that LeShawna shredded all of her clothing as a means of getting revenge on her for fooling everyone to vote off Trent in the previous episode. Lindsay points out to Heather that she did "steal Gwen's boyfriend" and considered it a big deal before being told to shut up by Heather.

That's Off the Chain!
Gwen supported Lindsay by glaring at Heather along with the others, when finding out Heather was using Lindsay. Also, she was impressed when Lindsay shouted expletives at Heather, laughing and yelling, "You tell her!". She cheered her on, along with the others, when Lindsay dissed Heather's shoes by calling them tacky. Before Lindsay leaves, she thanks Gwen for all her support, hinting that Lindsay and Gwen must have been closer than led to believe.

Haute Camp-ture
Lindsay laughed when she remembered the "awesome prank" Gwen played on Heather. Lindsay expresses, unexplainably, that she wanted Gwen to win the competition. It was either due to a real friendship she had with Gwen, or her close friendship with fellow Gopher, Trent, who was rooting for Gwen due to their relationship.

I Triple Dog Dare You!
The nineteen campers who had lost the competition submitted dares for the final three competitors to perform or pass on to others. Heather ended up getting a dare from Lindsay, which was to have one's hair shaved off by Chef Hatchet. Gwen then enthusiastically shouted out, "Lindsay rules!"

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Lindsay was initially on Gwen's side when it came down to the final competition. She stayed on her side even when Owen announced he'd throw a party if he won; however, when Owen added that the party would be held on a yacht, she switched sides (albeit grudgingly).

Monster Cash
When the girls were deciding who to bunk with, Lindsay had an idea by using make up brushes in place as sticks and Gwen commented that it was a good idea.

The Aftermath: II
Gwen mentions that she likes Lindsay and Beth, even if, according to Bridgette, they do not seem to like her back. However in Mutiny on the Soundstage, Beth admitted she liked Gwen, so it's likely Lindsay likes Gwen too.

The Am-AH-Zon Race
Lindsay is shown to be really concerned about Gwen, and probably the rest of Team Amazon, when she talks in the walkie-talkie with Chris and desperately tells him they are in danger. She also expresses to the other teams who are listening to the conversation about how she is happy in being in first place.

Episodes Against
Even though they are friends, their friendship always strayed in certain points, leading to a possible conflict.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
Lindsay is confused about the concept of communal washrooms. Gwen explains it for her, calling her an idiot afterward.

Not Quite Famous
At the beginning of the episode, Lindsay whines about already being out of fake tanning products, while Gwen sarcastically remarks what a tragic loss that is for her. Lindsay does not notice Gwen's sarcasm and continues to worry about her appearance, annoying Gwen by telling her she could use a tan herself. Now being recruited as an alliance-mate to Heather, Lindsay was technically an adversary of Gwen's for a good portion of Total Drama Island, though there was never much personal animosity between the two. Heather suspected Gwen was up to something and sent Lindsay to watch over her secretly. Lindsay was clearly not very interested in the job, finding it boring.

Afterward, she bought some time for Heather to allow her to find Gwen's diary in the cabin. As Gwen was about to return to the cabin after swimming, Lindsay tried to hold her off until Heather found the diary. She tried to intimidate Gwen by saying she had martial arts training, but an intense glare from Gwen scared Lindsay into letting her enter the cabin, just after Heather found and pocketed away Gwen's diary.

Phobia Factor
After Duncan admits his fear, Gwen gets a little annoyed when Lindsay asks what a "standee" is. Lindsay is shocked after discovering that Chris was listening to them by hidden cameras when they were confessing their fears, and when she says "They were listening to us?!" Gwen replies, "It's a reality show, Einstein. They're always listening to us."

Brunch of Disgustingness
Heather and Lindsay stood firm as an alliance against Gwen and LeShawna, pressuring Bridgette into choosing a side. At the end of the episode, Gwen and LeShawna lock Heather and Lindsay out of their cabin.

Search and Do Not Destroy
Lindsay conspires with Heather to create a forged love letter from Trent in order to break him and Gwen up. Lindsay makes the letter and leaves it on Gwen's bed, then hides under her bed (where she is soon covered by cockroaches) as Gwen comes into the cabin soon after. She finds the letter and believes it to be genuine, even after seeing Lindsay rush out of the cabin screaming after she leaves. Lindsay later gave warning calls to Heather, who had Trent cornered at the Dock of Shame to let her know when Gwen would be in the vicinity just in time for her to see Heather kiss Trent.

Haut Camp-ture
Lindsay admits that Gwen could be "harsh", and refers back to earlier in the game, when Gwen held contempt for Lindsay. But it is likely that they have both made it past each others' differences, and became friends sometime after.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Gwen did not consider Lindsay as one of the sane people, calling Lindsay dim-witted, though not to her face. Lindsay was swayed by Owen's promise of a party on a yacht should he win, and therefore switched sides and helped Izzy in making sure Owen came out the victor. In the alternate ending, she cried when Owen went for the brownies instead of the finish line.

3:10 to Crazytown
Lindsay (along with Justin, Beth, and Owen) is angry with Gwen when she thinks that Gwen had a deal with Trent, where Trent threw the challenges, causing the Killer Grips to lose.

The Chefshank Redemption
Throughout the episode Lindsay helps Justin and Beth get back at Gwen for having Trent throw challenges for her. This shows that despite being friends, Lindsay was mad at her for Trent helping her to win against their own team. Lindsay also possibly didn't like the fact that she was back-stabbed by her own friend like Heather had done before. Gwen also retells the story of when Lindsay threw up in the bathroom to her team, making them pick Lindsay to eat the prison food.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
After "Golden Oldies in their Undies" wins the Gemmie for the best reality show, Lindsay says "that's so cute", Gwen then frowns at her and says that it isn't cute since they lost, making Lindsay think twice about her previous statement.
