Mike and Zoey

This article focuses on the interactions between Mike and Zoey.

Opening Sequence
Mike and Zoey are seen in a raft on a waterfall. Zoey appears to be irritated, while Mike is shown as his alternate personality, Svetlana. As they come closer to the edge, Mike and Zoey are scared to fall off. They both land on a log which is seen being lifted by Lightning. The log underneath Lightning breaks and falls due to the weight capacity, and all three fall off-screen. At the end of the sequence, Zoey and Mike are seen at the campfire ceremony, sitting together, gazing into each other's eyes (similar to Gwen and Trent's part in the Total Drama Island sequence). They hold each other's hands until Chef Hatchet comes between them holding the Marshmallow of Toxic Loserdom in a pair of pliers. They are both stunned and move away awkwardly.

Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!
When arriving on the yacht, Zoey elbows Mike, asking him if he can actually believe that they're in the show together. Mike responds saying "Yeah, it's beautiful," while looking into Zoey's eyes. The romantic moment is then interrupted when Lightning pops up between them, showing off his muscles. Zoey lands in Brick's arms, only for Brick to drop her and salute when he is introduced next. Afterwards, as the cast swims across the lake, Staci starts drowning, and Zoey and Mike swim over to help her. As they see each other, they insist that one another go save her first. Staci grabs Mike's head and pulls him into the water, while Zoey watches in fear. After a few seconds, Zoey dives in to get them. When Zoey pops up from the surface, she is seen holding Mike, who is holding Staci. In the confessional, Mike explains how really nice Zoey is and doubts that she will ever go out with a guy like him because of his disorder. When everyone arrives ashore, Staci brags about her ancestors inventing swimming, while Zoey and Mike gaze at each other. While Zoey is talking with Dawn, Mike is seen still gazing at her. Later, when Chris reveals the team names, a "massive animal" approaches from the distance, knocking down every tree in its path. While all the campers are horrified, Mike and Zoey are holding onto each other. While doing the challenge, Mike breaks out into an old man personality. Zoey is noticeably confused, and in the confessional, she thinks that Mike is doing some sort of comedy routine. When the Mutant Maggots cut down the totem, they go on top of it and ride down the hills and lake to the cabins. When Zoey slips off the totem and is barely hanging onto the back, Mike switches out of his old man personality when Zoey calls his name for help. He barely managed to grab her hand just as she lost her grip, and pulled her back up. Zoey clings onto Mike's back and thanks him. After the Maggots are declared the winners, Zoey is seen carrying Mike while they all weakly cheer for their victory.

Truth or Laser Shark
Zoey and Mike converse at the beginning of the episode about action movies. Mike is surprised that she likes them and jokingly tells Zoey that, if she likes action films, he may have to marry her. While everyone was bickering about the challenge, Zoey was seen comforting Mike after he was slapped by Jo. Later, they share a moment when their hands touch while passing along the maggot for the challenge, which is interrupted by the maggot throwing up onto Mike's face.

Ice Ice Baby
Zoey and Mike seem to be enjoying each other's company during breakfast, even when Chester pops up in the middle of it. Zoey confesses that Mike is the perfect combination of "hot" and "smart," which she thought didn't exist, comparing this combo to "Perfect Hair" or "Unicorns, and knowing only jerk jocks back home. When Zoey almost falls off of the tree branch she was clinging to, Mike pulls her back up. They both smile at each other before being knocked off by a bunch of rocks that Lightning kicked down. During the capture the flag snow ball fight, Mike warns Zoey about Scott since he believes the Scott is "psycho." Later, during the snow fort challenge, Mike switches to a new personality, Vito, and starts to act full of himself and walk around without a shirt and gelled-back hair. This makes Anne Maria attracted to him, but Zoey looks especially concerned. At one point, when Zoey tried to approach "Vito," he shoved her away roughly. In the confessional, Mike admits that this personality is very hard to control, and worries about him re-emerging in the future.

Finders Creepers
At the beging of the challange, Mike and Zoey are shown standing next to each other and smiling when the other person talks.Both Mike and Zoey confess to an attraction to one another... to the Confession Cam. First, Zoey said that Mike is so sweet and she loves that he always encourages other people positively. She also said that she thinks Mike's comedy routine is weird but she added "nobody's perfect". Then, Mike says that Zoey is the only thing he thinks of, when he's in control. Zoey gets kidnapped early on in the competition, which causes Mike to search for her everywhere. Mike only stops when he falls off a high tree and lands on a tombstone and turns into Vito. Mike and Anne Maria make out in front of Zoey, held tied up on a spiderweb, yells at her to stop. Zoey shrieking in terror is enough to make Mike come back to himself and notice all the tied up contestants. He starts climbing the wall to try and reach them, but slides back down instead. He thinks it is hopeless until Svetlana comes out to leap up onto the web, landing right next to Zoey. At the elimination ceremony, Zoey appears to be disappointed and heartbroken after seeing Mike kissing Anne Maria in front of her and Mike face shows that he feels the situation is extremly awkward and dose not sit next to Zoey, but next to Anne Maria.
