Justin's alliances

This article focuses on Justin's Alliance, which was created by Justin in Total Drama Action.

Overview
Since Justin had a second chance to win the million dollar cash prize on Total Drama Action, he was determined to win that season by any means necessary and ensure that he wouldn't be voted off like he was in Total Drama Island (courtesy of Heather). Early on in the season, he noticed that fellow contestants Beth and Lindsay had huge crushes on him, and he was quick to take advantage of their weakness so that they could take him further into the competition, forming this alliance. Justin intended to win through manipulating Beth and Lindsay into voting with him and listening to him throughout the whole season. However, even before the merge, the alliance began to slowly fall apart.

Beach Blanket Bogus
At the beginning of the episode, Lindsay and Beth obsess over Justin's good looks, so Justin starts off by acting nice and offering to sit with them for breakfast. After Beth and Lindsay help win the sandcastle challenge, Justin thanks Beth for saving the challenge, which delights her. He then asks if he could have one of her friendship bracelets, and she eagerly hands him one. In the confessional, Justin reveals he actually cares very little for Beth, and is plotting to lure her into an alliance.

3:10 to Crazytown
Beth, Lindsay, and Owen agree to vote off Trent with Justin after he reveals to them that Trent had been throwing challenges for Gwen.

The Chefshank Redemption
Justin officially forms his alliance and begins using both Beth and Lindsay to further his own ends. Owen's status as a member is unclear, but he accepts Justin as his leader. They openly, and gladly, cooperate in Justin's plan to blackmail Gwen into throwing the challenge so that the Grips can win, as payback for Trent's schemes. Gwen gives in to the pressure and allows the Grips to win, getting her eliminated that night, which Justin views as a victory.

Full Metal Drama
Justin realizes he's starting to lose control over Beth and Lindsay and so he spends most of the episode trying to regain their admiration. The girls try their best to ignore Justin, but by the end of episode, Justin gets them back into his alliance using his new hair flip, and manipulates them into voting off Izzy for saying that she never thought Justin was cute.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine
Justin and the girls work together to release Owen from the bank vault and succeed by tempting him with Beth's chicken-scented perfume. When Owen suffers from extreme hunger, Justin, Beth, and Lindsay all try to revive him with various semi-edible foods, including breath mints, fruity lip gloss, and a full bottle of perfume.

Super Hero-ld
In this episode, Justin makes a new alliance with Duncan and Harold. He seems to have lost hope in Lindsay and Beth, so he felt that he needed to get on better terms with the guys instead, forming the Second Guys' Alliance.

The Princess Pride
Justin becomes too distracted by a sudden attraction to Courtney during this episode. When he was eliminated, Justin asked Lindsay and Beth if they would protest. Neither did, indicating that they no longer care for him, nor do they find him attractive. The guys alliance seems to end in this episode also.

Original Members

 * Justin (leader, voted off in The Princess Pride)
 * Beth (joined in Beach Blanket Bogus, became runner-up in The Aftermath: IV)
 * Lindsay (joined between 3:10 to Crazytown and The Chefshank Redemption, voted off in Rock n' Rule)

Minor Members

 * Owen (voted with them on several occasions; voted out in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine and fired in Top Dog)
 * Gwen (was forced to work with them in The Chefshank Redemption due to the events in 3:10 to Crazytown; voted out in The Chefshank Redemption)

Trivia

 * This could be related to Heather's Alliance. Both Beth and Lindsay were members, and the main antagonist of the season manipulates these two. At first, both girls like the leader and consider them a friend. However, by the end of the season, both girls learn of the leader's true nature, and rebel against them.
 * However, unlike Heather's Alliance, Justin was the first person in the alliance to go, and the alliance was far less successful.
 * The alliance was responsible for the eliminations of Trent, Gwen, and Izzy (the second time).
 * This is the first alliance where the leader gets eliminated before all the original members.
 * This was the first alliance to be referenced/hinted at many times, but never officially take hold, even though Justin does often manipulate Lindsay and Beth.
