Beth and Lindsay



This article is about the major friendship between Beth and Lindsay. Though initially brought together out of the necessity of another in Total Drama Island, it becomes a crucial and important friendship during Total Drama Action.

The Big Sleep
Beth and Lindsay's friendship began when they were both pulled into an alliance created by Heather. Lindsay was brought into the alliance for being "dumb enough," and Beth for being "desperate enough," to do whatever Heather would tell them to. Just before that, Beth joined Lindsay in standing on her head to redirect the blood flow, thinking it would keep them awake. Heather attempted to talk strategy to her new alliance members, but they both fell asleep before they could talk about anything other than basic rules.

The Sucky Outdoors
Beth and Lindsay hug each other in fear when they are frightened by the first bear. It turned out to be just Izzy in a bear costume and Lindsay was confused by this.

Phobia Factor
Lindsay (along with LeShawna, Gwen, Heather, Cody, and Owen) was clapping for Beth to conquer her fear and win a point for their team.

Up the Creek
Beth and Lindsay got Trent into a canoe with them, preventing him and Gwen from riding with each other. During the ride, Lindsay asks Trent if she can work on her tan while she laid her head down on his lap. Trent allowed her to, and very briefly, Beth is glaring at Lindsay and Trent for reasons unknown (she might have been jealous).

Paintball Deer Hunter
Beth and Lindsay are assigned hunters, while Heather is assigned a deer. The pair travel through the forest, trying to find deer from the opposing team to shoot, but eventually come up to Heather. Heather was found sitting on a tree stump, and ordered the two to fetch her food. After a while, Beth snapped, shot Heather with her paintball gun (along with LeShawna), and was officially out of the alliance. Lindsay was forced to vote for Beth to be eliminated by Heather when their team lost the competition, but in the confessionals, Lindsay admits that she admired Beth for standing up to Heather. Beth managed to avoid being kicked off in this episode, due to Cody's injuries.

If You Can't Take The Heat...
Beth and Lindsay aid LeShawna in tricking Heather to run into the freezer after her make-up bag, only to get locked inside. It was later revealed that Beth inadvertently cursed the team with a tiki doll she brought back from Boney Island two episodes ago, which played a part in the Screaming Gophers' losing streak. Lindsay wanted to vote Heather off, but was forced by Heather to vote for Beth again. This time, Beth was voted off the island.



The Very Last Episode, Really!
Both Beth and Lindsay pick Owen's side (although Lindsay initially took Gwen's side). In the alternative ending, when Gwen won the competition, Lindsay cried over Owen's defeat, since he promised to throw a big party if he won. While she is crying, Beth holds her.



Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Lindsay and Beth rekindle their friendship and are seen hanging out together at Playa Des Losers. During the scavenger hunt, they both formed a team together search for the million-dollar case as they catch up on girl talk. Lindsay now shares Beth's disdain for Heather as both girls reject her from joining their team. After Lindsay announces that she would spend her prize money on buying France to become its queen, Beth asks if she would be allowed to visit, to which Lindsay happily allowed. Both of the girls qualified to compete in Total Drama Action.

Monster Cash
When Beth returns without her braces, Lindsay tells her that she's on her way to being her new BFFFL. When Lindsay and Beth are separated during the first challenge, Beth seems more concerned about reuniting with Lindsay than winning the challenge, showing that she is still desperate for acceptance and popularity. Also, when Lindsay declares that when she wins, she will move to France and become queen. Beth says, "My mom said that when I got my braces off, my world would totally open up! She was right! I'm goin' to France!" This proves she trusts her BFF, and knows she can win.



Alien Resurr-eggtion
Though she still dislikes Heather, Beth and Lindsay appear in a confessional scene where Beth references Buddha and tells Lindsay they should not sink to Heather's level by being mean back to her. Lindsay is in awe of Beth, finding her words deep and meaningful. They team up together with Justin and LeShawna, but are trapped in a room where they are all covered in slime and eliminated from the challenge. Regardless, all three girls hug Justin.

Beach Blanket Bogus
Lindsay and Beth's friendship seems to become a bit rocky when Lindsay and Beth seem to compete for Justin's attention by offering him breakfast. Later, Lindsay becomes angry with Beth for her crushing on Justin and calls her a copycat. Beth calls Lindsay "tanorexic," but she quickly apologizes and offers her a friendship bracelet. With Beth's strategy and Lindsay's convenient supply of magazines and hairspray, both of them were responsible for winning the sandcastle challenge for their team by creating a sturdy sandcastle prop.

3:10 to Crazytown

Beforehand, Beth promises Lindsay to not let Heather have her hair if she fails to survive, but then asks if she could have Lindsay's hair, but Lindsay denies her.

The Chefshank Redemption
Throughout the episode, Lindsay and Beth assist Justin in ensuring that Gwen throws the challenge so that the Killer Grips can win, as they were intent on making her pay for Trent's cheating on her behalf, officially becoming members of Justin's Alliance. During the prison food challenge, Beth accidentally causes Lindsay to throw up when she puts back in her retainer (Which Gwen had just coughed up). Lindsay does not hold this against her even though they lost the first round. They presumably told Gwen to vote herself off alongside Justin that night.

The Sand Witch Project
Lindsay and Beth begin the episode referring to each other as "Besties". Beth told Lindsay that she was unable to scream due to a botched tonsillectomy. The challenge involved one contestant to portray a killer, and the others to play the part of screamers. Izzy, and Justin wanted to play the part of killer, but Lindsay demanded that it be Beth as she would be useless as a screamer. Lindsay also took charge in the second part of the challenge, trying to keep her team from running out of the tent. The team failed and had to vote someone off. The final Gilded Chris Award was either going to Justin or Lindsay. Lindsay asked why it might be her, and Beth told her that she was starting to be bossy. DJ, however, probably saved Lindsay as he eliminated himself.

Full Metal Drama
Lindsay serves as admiral and Beth works as her assistant during this episode, but despite her help in the challenge, during the Gilded Chris Award ceremony, Lindsay stated that if she gets voted off, she wouldn't blame anyone other then Beth (much to Beth's dismay), stating that she has to blame somebody if she lost.

Super Hero-ld
Beth convinces Lindsay and LeShawna to vote Duncan off due to him being a big threat and in order to spite Courtney.

The Princess Pride
Beth and Lindsay combine their burritos together for the "competition" Duncan held at the beginning of the episode. The two sit by each other when they are both eliminated from the challenge. At the Gilded Chris ceremony, they also practice voodoo on a Princess Courtney doll, which actually ends up causing pain to the real Courtney. Both of them showed no emotion to Justin being eliminated in that episode, preferring to play with the now-rechristened Princess Beth doll.

Get a Clue
Beth and Lindsay's friendship falters a little in this episode. Beth would occasionally team up with Courtney and admits that Lindsay may not be the brightest person on the show. Beth does feel a little guilty for taking advantage of Lindsay during the DNA collection challenge. When Lindsay was at the movies with Duncan she does slightly regret not taking Beth instead. Beth was a little disappointed that Lindsay did not choose her to go to the movies but was not angry with her. Beth reveals watching Courtney's jealousy was more entertaining.

Rock n' Rule
Lindsay and Beth convinced Harold and Owen to vote with them to get Duncan out of the game. At the ceremony, Beth looks at Lindsay, while Lindsay smiles and looks back while everyone was voting. When it was revealed that Lindsay was sent home over Duncan because she accidentally votes herself off when she got distracted by Beth, Beth and the others (except Duncan) are shocked. Beth confronts Lindsay and tells her that she blames herself on getting her eliminated. However, Lindsay remarked that friends were worth far more than money. Beth replies to her saying that that was the smartest thing anyone has said the entire season.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
During Celebrity Manhunt, Blaineley and Josh revealed that Beth and Lindsay went to France for a vacation. While there Beth and Lindsay visited a museum, Beth wanted Lindsay to take her picture with the Mona Lisa but tripped. Then Lindsay accidentally smeared the gum she was chewing on the painting causing them to be arrested, Though they are later freed when Beth's parents sold their expensive car to pay the girls' bail. Lindsay qualifies for Total Drama World Tour while Beth doesn't. It is unknown if or how this will affect their friendship. However, neither of them specifically referred to the fact that they were separated by seasons, so this most likely means that their friendship will most likely be unaffected, and will simply be put on hold.
