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 after it ate the million dollar case. Eventually, Duncan retrieves the case for Courtney, but sprains his ankle shortly afterward, causing her to ditch him for the money.

Beth
Since they were on opposing teams both seasons, not much interaction was between them, especially in Total Drama Island. 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. Strangely enough, Beth and Duncan are the final two in Total Drama Action. 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 The Princess Pride, Duncan was a bit sickened by Beth and Lindsay's BFF burrito. In Rock n' Rule, Beth joined Lindsay and Harold into voting off Duncan at the ceremony, but Lindsay got sent home when she got distracted by Beth by accidentally voting herself off. When Duncan laughs rudely at Lindsay's misfortune, Beth glares at him. In Top Dog, after getting out from a pit he had fell during the animal challenge by swinging on a vine, he hits Beth with a rock from a slingshot. He also later injected a needle into Beth's arm by blowing it from a stick due to him going mentally insane from the pit. Ironically, in that same episode, Courtney was voted out of the competition, and Owen was fired from his job as an antagonist, as Beth and Courtney found out, thus having no point in him still being there. This leaves Duncan and Beth as the final two competitors of Total Drama Action. In Mutiny on the Soundstage, Beth and Duncan start to work together. During the first part of the challenge, Beth asks Duncan for help, but he refuses. Then when he has to go back into the bathroom, Duncan wants Beth to help him, and this time she refuses. Duncan then says that "the gloves are off." When they compete in the disaster part of the challenge, Beth says she would be okay with either of them winning, and Duncan agrees. When Chris and Chef shoot a safe at Duncan, Beth saves him. Making Duncan very pleased with her, however they finish in a tie. In The Aftermath: IV after the contestants wrote down on who they voted for, Duncan wins the competition, making Beth the runner-up. In the alternate ending for this episode, when it was revealed that Beth was the winner, Duncacn was shown to be a little mad but quickly got over it.

Bridgette
During Hide and Be Sneaky, Duncan orchestrated the Guy's Alliance. Even without Geoff's help, he used its power to vote off a 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), and was shown to vote for them in the confessional. During her talk show segment, she begins to make fun of him, along with Geoff and the other 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. 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, and seeths "The chick was detirmined," 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.

Cody
Despite the two hardly interacting (due to being on different teams) Cody makes fun of Duncan in Phobia Factor by saying, "Ex-Squeeze me? I didn't quite get that!" in a mocking tone when Duncan admits his fear in a quiet voice. However, in the TDWT opening, Duncan and Cody are next to each other on the human pyramid, smiling, and have no problems doing so.

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 is shown harmonizing with the peaceful Wawanakwa animals until a dead fish (courtesy of Owen) drops into his midst, which causes the animals to attack him. This caused Duncan to laugh at his misfortune. Duncan was also shown to lose his patience for DJ in The Sand Witch Project when he didn't want to scare anyone until Duncan forces him to do it so their team can win. 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 Haute Camp-ture, Eva claimed to like Duncan's "style" when talking about the dodge ball challenge in Dodgebrawl. Next Season, in the first Aftermath, Eva was seen to be against Duncan "breaking up" the relationship between Gwen and Trent.

Ezekiel
When the Bass lost the first challenge, 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 members 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 following Aftermath episodes, 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/relationship. See the Gwen-Duncan Friendship 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 Haute Camp-ture. During the special, he was deprived of going with Duncan and Courtney to hunt for the million dollars 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 and voted off LeShawna in Super Hero-ld in order to be with Justin to start a new Guys' Alliance. In 2008: A Space Owen, Harold crushes Duncan's pet tarantula Scruffy accidentally, which Duncan later votes Harold off because of that. Harold even pulls Duncan's pants down before he leaves, to which Duncan admitted that he had that coming. Their conflict is still unresolved. See the Duncan-Harold Conflict page for more information.

Heather
Duncan is very well known to sarcastically call Heather by pet names (Gorgeous, Hot) 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. Other than that, however, the two have no conflict, and are very similar in nature. Duncan does consider Izzy a freak when he could not remember who Izzy was reincarnated from in Mutiny on the Soundstage. Izzy was impressed with Duncan's break dancing skills in The Aftermath: IV.

Justin
Duncan and Justin had no connection on Total Drama Island, as they were on separate teams. In Total Drama Action though, they seemed to get along with each other when they interacted in the guys' trailer. However, Duncan became 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. 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.

However, any camaraderie Duncan and Justin had went out the window in Princess Pride. They get into a major conflict in this episode after Justin falls for Courtney, who Duncan still has feelings for. Towards the beginning of the episode, Duncan misleads Justin in the first part of the challenge as a prank, getting Justin hurt (which Duncan laughs at). 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 favorably to Justin's flirting. At the end of the episode Justin is eliminated and Duncan, along with the other competitors (even Courtney, who reveals she was only accepting Justin's flirting to distract him from the game), are clearly not upset that he is leaving. In The Aftermath: IV Chris showed that Duncan was nice to Justin once by fixing Justin's sleep mask while he slept.

Katie and 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 due to her being a threat, thus ending their alliance. 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 Haute 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 Lindsay's large feet, even calling Lindsay "Big Foot", which upset her.

In Get a Clue Lindsay handcuffs Duncan when they think he is the murderer. Later they become more friendly when Lindsay apologized to Duncan and took him to the movies. Although they found it hard to talk at all due to their obvious differences, they both took pleasure in torturing the jealous Courtney.

In Rock n' Rule, Lindsay devised a plan to vote off Duncan along with Beth, Harold and Owen. Unfortunately, she got distracted by Beth when she looked at her and accidentally voted herself off, leaving Duncan safe. When the video shows Lindsay voting for herself after it was revealed that she got sent home, Duncan laughs rudely at her mistake, and does not seem upset.

Noah
The first problem in the series 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. Duncan also supports Owen in The Very Last Episode, Really. When Owen returned to Total Drama Action, he was hugged by him. See the Everyone-Owen Friendship page for more information. Both are winners of the series.

Trent
As these two didn't have much any conflict and interaction with each other in the first season due to them being on different teams, Trent's jealousy and craziness towards Duncan "stealing" (in his eyes) Gwen from him, drove them to become partial enemies during the early episodes of the second season. 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. Also in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Tyler was shown to be against sharing a cabin with Duncan, and took credit for Duncan's extermination of a cockroach, claiming he could do that as well to impress Lindsay. Duncan then mutters that girls like Lindsay "always go for the jocks". In Camp TV, they seemed to be good friends. In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 he told Courtney that he rather have Tyler on the team than her.

Trivia

 * Even though Duncan has some sort of mutual problem with everyone, Duncan is the only antagonistic character to have a personal problem with almost every camper.
 * Noah
 * Justin
 * Harold
 * Trent
 * Bridgette
 * Geoff
 * LeShawna
 * Heather
 * Chef Hatchet
 * This conflict is similar to the Everyone-Courtney Conflict.
 * Despite being enemies with almost everyone on the show, Duncan somehow manages to make it very far in the competition (even winning the series) without even getting invincibility.
 * This may be because he does not show a major conflict with everyone like Heather or Eva. Instead, people get on his nerves, making him threaten them when they do so.
