Killer Bass

The Killer Bass is one of the two opposing teams from Total Drama Island. Their logo is an angry-looking bass surrounded by a red circle. The Killer Bass originally consisted of Duncan, Courtney, Ezekiel, Harold, DJ, Bridgette, Geoff, Eva, Tyler, Sadie, and Izzy, but Katie later switched teams with Izzy, so that she could be on the same team as Sadie.

Total Drama Island
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Katie begs Chris to let her switch teams in order to be with her best female friend for life Sadie. Izzy volunteers to switch places with Katie, meaning Katie is placed on the Killer Bass while Izzy on the Screaming Gophers. The Killer Bass were the first team to suffer a loss, which occurred in the same episode; and Ezekiel was both the first one out of the Killer Bass and the competition due to his sexist remarks.

In The Big Sleep, Chris wakes up the two teams by blowing a horn, and also makes them to do a twenty kilometer run for their breakfast. After all the contestants arrive, Courtney was mad at Harold for making them lose the challenge, since he was the last to arrive to the mess hall and is complaining of heart palpitations. The Screaming Gophers thought they won, but they were incorrect. Chris exclaimed that the run was only the first part of the challenge and showed the campers the giant dinner they got to eat as the second. After eating, both teams had to compete in to stay awake. Whoever stayed awake the longest won invincibility for their team. In the Awake-A-Thon, Duncan was the last from the Bass to remain, but in the end lost again after he fell asleep in the bathroom. The Killer Bass voted off Eva that night after she threw a temper tantrum since she could not find her MP3 player that Heather had stole to purposely turn the team against her.

In Dodgebrawl, the Killer Bass were still tired from the Awake-A-thon in the last episode. Unlike the other team, who were happy about winning, they were sad that they lost last time; they now even regret for voting off their strongest player, Eva. They were also getting mocked by Heather. During the first dodgeball game, the Bass were seem to lose quickly at first, but close to the end of the game, the Bass were leading with two to one, but eventually lose the first game. During the second round, they lost again quickly due to Owen's new skills of playing, and became a victim of Heather's mocking once again. The Killer Bass understand that they need someone strong, so decide to wake up Duncan, and Courtney promises him that if he doesn't help, they will vote him off. They win the next two rounds due to Duncan's 'prison' tactics and they win the final round due to Harold's figure skating skills, and for the first time on the season, the Killer Bass were even to the Screaming Gophers.

In Not Quite Famous, the Killer Bass have a hard time finding good talents for their team. In the end, the three who picked are Courtney, who plays her violin, DJ, which his talent is Ribbon Twirling, and Geoff, which his talent is skateboarding. Before the contest, Courtney was practicing on her violin, but at the same time, Bridgette was doing a bet with the guys that she could stand on her hands for twenty minutes. However, she accidentally broke Courtney's violin so they decided to replace her with Bridgette. A few moments before the talent contest, Bridgette said to Courtney that they she needed to relax, as Bridgette was confident she could pull through. Heather said to Courtney that Bridgette sabotaged Courtney to perform. Bridgette said that isn't what her team does, as they play fair. During the talent show, DJ was the first up, and his show wasn't as good as his audition was, and Chef (the judge) give him only two points. Bridgette was the next up for her team. At first, she was doing well, but she then started to puke on some other contestants who were watching, fell from the stage, and left it covered in vomit. Bridgette only got two points. The last talent was supposed to be Geoff, but he accidentally broke his skateboard. Bridgette and Courtney had to pick which one should be the last talent, and saw that the only one left is Harold. Harold shows his professional beat-boxing talent, which earned him the winning score.

In The Sucky Outdoors, the Killer Bass, like the other team, went to woods after Chris told them the challenge. After a while, both Katie and Sadie noticed a bush of blueberries, and after they ate them, they noticed that they were lost. The rest of the team finds their campsite. There, after DJ tells Bridgette to relax, Duncan tells a scary story to everyone which makes all of them become frightened. After they all fell asleep, Bridgette accidentally ruined the tent, it started to rain, and, like the other team, they did not get any sleep that night. In the morning, the Bass arrived first, but since Katie and Sadie arrived last, the Bass lost the challenge. At the campfire ceremony, Katie and Sadie were the bottom two, and in the end, Katie was voted off.

In Phobia Factor, the Killer Bass were already tired from the last challenge, and tired from Sadie's crying due Katie's elimination, too. They saw the Screaming Gophers coming, and suddenly, both teams share talk with each other about their fears. Tension was still going between Duncan and Courtney, who was the only one who didn't admit about their fear. Chris told them that the challenge is "Phobia Factor," and Sadie was the first up, as her fear was bad haircut. Many people from the Killer Bass didn't compete their challenge, making the score 7-3. After they heard that Courtney does have a fear, Chris said that if Courtney would do the challenge, she will get three points. Courtney failed, and it cost her team the win, yet again. At the campfire ceremony that night, Bridgette, Courtney, and Tyler were in the bottom of three, for not completing their challenges, but in the end, Tyler was voted off, being mocked by some of his teammates and also Chris.

In Up the Creek, the Killer Bass viewed once again as the weaker team, as they have less two members by the Screaming Gophers. After they heard what the challenge is, they were scared about the fact it is a cursed island. During their rowing to Boney Island, DJ admits of his fear of water, while Geoff show that morning his attraction to Bridgette. After arriving to Boney Island, the other team had problems with the Beavers, as they were running from then, but the Killer Bass started to lead over the Gophers as they passed them. They saw two directions, and they decided to go to the right one, as the other team do the exact opposite. Afterwards, Geoff gets a microscopic splinter, but it is treated much more seriously than one. Then, the team has to light on a fire, which they do quickly thanks to Duncan and his lighter. Afterwards, the Killer Bass wanted to light it more, which Harold didn't thought twice and put their paddles of the canoe in the fire, which now, as revealed by Chris, the final challenge is to rowing back to the Island, which they can't do. Izzy, their opponent from the other team, suggested that they could let one person from their team to push all the canoes, which ultimately both Bridgette and Courtney both agree on, but Geoff didn't, since DJ is scare of water. DJ said he will do it, and he succeeded, and the Killer Bass broke their second losing stretch. By the end of the night, an original member from their team got eliminated.

In Paintball Deer Hunter, the people who chosen to be hunters were Bridgette, Harold, and Geoff, while the deer were Courtney, Duncan, Sadie, and DJ, which Duncan and Courtney were angry about. Bridgette is upset over the fact that she is hunter, due to her gentle nature, but Harold comforts her by saying that it is just a challenge, and that she might hit Heather, the idea of which makes Bridgette happy to do the challenge. After Beth quit Heather's alliance, both Bridgette and Harold shoot Heather. After a while, Courtney and Duncan meet each other, and accidentally get their antlers stuck together. After Beth, Heather, Leshawna, and Lindsay fight with their paintball guns, Bridgette, Harold, and Geoff all start shooting at them, which ultimately gave them the win.

In If You Can't Take The Heat..., the Killer Bass chose Geoff as the head chef. They were splitting into three teams of two, Bridgette and DJ team up to make pasta; Sadie and Harold were making antipasto, while Duncan and Courtney were making the dessert of their Italian-themed three-course dinner: the cannoli. Through out all of the cooking challenge, DJ, Duncan, and Geoff were pulling pranks on Harold. Also, two couples were continuing to flirt. After Chris taste both Bridgette and DJ's pasta, and Harold and Sadie's antipasto, he gave them 15 points. After he tastes the dessert, the Killer Bass had twenty one points, making them the winners. They won a five star dinner under the stars, which, for the first time, meant the Killer Bass were leading by one member over the Screaming Gophers.

The Killer Bass were viewed as the inferior team in Total Drama Island. It wasn't until after Beth was voted off in If You Can't Take The Heat... that they surpassed the Gophers in the number of teammates they had for the first (and only) time. Following that episode, the Bass lose three challenges back to back, causing them to have only four team members left by the time the teams merged, as opposed to the Gophers' six.

In Who Can You Trust?, the Killer Bass were put into five challenges of trusting each other. The first challenge consists of a freehand climb up a cliff face, with DJ and Duncan participating for the Bass. The Bass almost had it, but DJ got confused because of Gwen accidentally showing her underwear, which causes DJ to slip off with him and Duncan hanging in the air as a result, while Gwen won the first challenge for the Screaming Gophers. During the second challenge, Bridgette and Geoff were up against Trent and Lindsay, Bridgette was chosen to be the cook for her team, by preparing a meal made from the fugu blowfish, a poisonous Japanese blowfish, to be eaten by Geoff. Bridgette made a good one, which made them the winners of the round. For the third challenge, Courtney and Sadie were put together. The trust challenge was "Blind William Tell," where one member, who is blindfolded, throws apples on the arrow that's on top of another player's head. Sadie and Courtney lose this to Owen and Leshawna. The fourth challenge was blind trapeze, in which the teams send one member to catch the other over a pool of jellyfish. Harold is sent to catch Bridgette, and they win again, which puts them in a tie. During the last challenge, Geoff and DJ were put together. DJ didn't want to continue, but Duncan cheered him up when he said he found his bunny. DJ saw it, which gave him motivation, and they successfully cross the finish line first, but due to the fact DJ took off his blindfold to see Bunny, they lost the challenge and immunity overall. At the elimination ceremony, Sadie was eliminated because of the fact she hurt Courtney in the "William Tell" challenge.

In Basic Straining, the Killer Bass were mad about the fact that Chef was in charge of the challenge. The first part, holding a canoe over their heads, starts easy for them, however, it got more difficult throughout the night, but they did win, since Lindsay gave up. During the music challenge, Duncan stops the music, saying that he wants to quit, but Chef didn't let him. They next write an essay about their "love" for Chef. Harold was eliminated from the obstacle course challenge, leaving only Courtney, Duncan, and Geoff left. During the final task, hanging upside down from a tree for as long as possible, Duncan fell off first, followed by Courtney, leaving only Geoff. After a short time period, he also fell off. At the elimination, Courtney was sent home, which was later revealed to be due to Harold rigging the votes. He states he did this because he wanted to get revenge on Duncan for messing with him through out the season.

In X-Treme Torture, the Killer Bass weren't happy about the challenge. For the first section, DJ and Trent were up against each other. For the second part, Geoff and Leshawna were against each other as well, while Harold was against Lindsay. The Bass won the first challenge, but lost in the second challenge, evening the score. During the final challenge, two more people have to compete in the challenge as the riders. For the other team's contestants, Duncan and Heather were chosen. Despite the fact the Bass were really close to the win, they lost yet again. At the elimination ceremony, Harold was voted off, due to losing the challenge for them.

In Brunch of Disgustingness, the teams were merged. Since the Killer Bass had more guys, Owen and Trent moved from the Screaming Gophers' cabin to the Bass' cabin. Since they also had one girl (Bridgette), she moved to the Gophers' cabin. After the challenge, in "the battle between the sexes," the guys have won. The following episode, the guys and the girls merged, and all teams were finally done.

Following the next few couple of episodes, none of the Killer Bass have won a challenge. Four of them got eliminated (in order): Eva (who came back), Bridgette, DJ, and Geoff, leaving only Duncan for the now dissolved Bass. He was eliminated in Are We There Yeti?, thus making all of the Killer Bass eliminated for good, making them one of the only teams in Total Drama to not have a member who makes it to the finale.

The Total Drama Action equivalent of the Killer Bass is the Killer Grips, a team which only has one of the Killer Bass members on their team: Courtney, who debuted later on in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine after filing a lawsuit to get back on the show. The Killer Bass team appears to be a bit better than their Total Drama Action counterpart, seeing as the Grips only won challenges in three of the episodes of the entire season, though the Killer Bass members seem to be stronger during the season, as even one of their members, Duncan, had won.

The Total Drama World Tour equivalent of the Killer Bass is considered to be more of a mix between Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and Team Victory, since the Killer Bass were viewed as the inferior team like Team Victory was, but they also managed to win few challenges. Like the Killer Bass, there was a point when Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot had four guys and one girl.

Trivia

 * Ezekiel, Bridgette, DJ, and Duncan are the only members of this team to make a cameo in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.
 * Bridgette is the only female member of this team to make a cameo appearance in the fourth season.
