Stephanie

Stephanie was a Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race contestant on with Ryan.

Personality
Stephanie is a part-time college student and part-time fitness model. She and her boyfriend Ryan are dreamy, happy-go-lucky lovebirds who have already decided they want to spend the rest of their lives together. While she initially appears to be nice towards her boyfriend, Stephanie, after getting tired of their poor placement during the first few legs of the race, reveals that she is actually a competitive control freak with a short volatile temper that could easily overpowers Ryan in terms of strength despite her size.

She constantly blames Ryan for their problems, even if the fault is on her. Stephanie believes that she is better than anyone else on the race but unlike other arrogant and competitive characters on the franchise, she fails to back up her claims, failing to complete most of her challenges without Ryan's aid or thinking up poor strategies without Ryan's consent. Her obsession in winning leads to their break up and they spend the majority of the season getting on each other nerves. Despite this, the two of them regain their feelings for each other and by the time of their elimination, Stephanie sees the errors of her ways and apologizes to Ryan, becoming a couple again.

Introduced in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1 alongside Ryan, they're the seventh team introduced. The two make out after Stephanie and Ryan both are excited about the prospect of travelling the world, wondering what chocolate protein bars taste like in China. Along with everyone else, Stephanie listens to Don's introduction to the race and the Don Box. She, along with Ryan, choose stairs for the "Either/Or" at the CN Tower. After finishing the stairs, Ryan eventually carries Stephanie, which she praises him for being 'gentlemanly'. She and Ryan zipline and land safely, managing to end up as one of the six teams to book on the first flight to Morocco.

Following in Part 2, she rides on Ryan's shoulders to the Don Box. She mentions in the taxi to the "All-In" challenge about how well she knows spices as she eats tons of them, only for Ryan to compliment her and the two begin to make out again. She, with Ryan, the Cadets, and Best Friends, arrive to the spice kiosk first but she has a hard time detecting which spices are what, yelling at the kiosk manager to scoop one of the spices at the end. Making it to the restaurant, she cheers Ryan in the "Botch or Watch" while he drinks the soup. After Ryan finishes, they run to the Chill Zone to finish in fifth place.

Following her and Ryan's high placement, they continue the race in French is an Eiffel Language. She and Ryan are on the first flight to Paris, then race to the Don Box. In the "Botch or Watch", she draws Ryan's caricature. In the sewer, Ryan talks about how he'd like to die with Stephanie at the same time if she had the plague, resulting in her stating that it was sweet and make out with him. The Daters get their cheese and paddle to the Chill Zone. However, Ryan loses their oars and Stephanie gets a bit angry, but stays cool. The Daters make to the Chill Zone in eighth place. In Mediterranean Homesick Blues, the Daters are first seen making out in the train station. They're waiting on a train with group 2. She motivates Ryan before he goes to do the "Botch or Watch." They work together to build a sand castle for the "All-In" and reaches to the Chill Zone in sixth place.

In Bjorken Telephone, Stephanie begins to show her unseen competitive side. Stephanie rides on Ryan's shoulder as they cross through the geyser field, where they recite the line together. She explains that she and Ryan share everything, including the line they must recite, but adds she will never share her french fries and threatens to hurt Ryan if he touches them. Stephanie becomes frustrated after getting the line wrong, to which Ryan reassures her it's alright. However, Stephanie claims their love cannot ever have mistakes and walks back to the voice box, blaming herself for the delay. After finally getting the line right, the Daters have fallen far behind the other teams. She becomes extremely competitive, accidentally hurting Ryan in the process. The Daters choose to eat the feast for the "Either/Or" challenge, and finish in sixth place.

In Brazilian Pain Forest, the Daters are on the flight that gets delayed by Dwayne's broken fossil giving the plane a flat tire. During the "Botch or Watch", Stephanie is the one to stick her hand into the mitt of bullet ants. They cross using a bridge which Spud made earlier, but it ends up breaking, so Ryan climbs up the cliff carrying Stephanie who scolds him for not listening. Stephanie acquires a tip by stomping open a coconut where they move onto the "All-in". The Daters manage end up in tenth place.

In A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket, Stephanie becomes increasingly aggressive and competitive. Unwilling to accept they are in last place, she orders Ryan to throw her to the front of a line for tickets. In Romania, they manage to run up the hill and appear to gain the lead due to a spat between two rivals and another team, missing in the castle. Stephanie takes the tip. When it reveals that the challenge is an "All-in", she clings onto Ryan, claiming that she loves doing things together with Ryan who is semi-nervous. Due to her taking the tip, Stephanie has to take Ryan and carry him in a coffin. Struggling with this, she drags the coffin instead. Ryan compliments her strength in a confessional, leading to them making out again. Stephanie got lost as she couldn't find the graveyard. She's upset when Ryan said both of them took a while to find the graveyard. Ryan then apologizes when Stephanie is reminded that they're still ahead of most teams. During the "Botch or Watch", she is trying to control her temper, but is losing it as Ryan seemingly keeps messing up the challenge which puts them in the final four teams left. Compared to Jen's cheering, Stephanie is losing it as she insults and berates Ryan. A pit race between them and the Fashion Bloggers ended in the Daters arriving in the Chill Zone in thirteenth place, avoiding elimination. When Ryan tried to be positive, Stephanie walks off, worrying Ryan.

Things for Stephanie begin to go way south during Hawaiian Honeyruin. Stephanie gets impatient with the donkey and starts yelling at it, slowing the two down even further by stopping it. She admits she was stressed out and forgot that every team were on the same flight. She counters Ryan's pep talk with her criticism of Ryan's action. After diving, she comes back up snapping at Ryan, forgetting it's a "Botch or Watch" as Ryan reminds her he can only watch her do the challenge. This further infuriates her and she goes back down, but not before screaming, "YOU ARE THE WORST!!". She manages to find a ring but then encounters Kitty, where the two fight over the wedding ring. However, a shark is going towards them and Stephanie lets go to fight the shark off, only to realize she lost the ring. She gets angrier as she can't find any ring, telling Ryan to say nothing as he shrugs it off. She claims there are no more rings to be found when Ryan tries to pep her up, only for her to get angrier. This causes Ryan to berates her for her "race rage", further annoying Stephanie. She and Ryan get into a feud and are stuck as the two can't move on until Stephanie finishes the challenge. She eventually finds a ring as the Daters compete the "all-in" and finish last, resulting in Stephanie crying out in anguish. Ryan, fed up with Stephanie's race rage, breaks up with her and she flips it around as she dumps him. When they both finds out that it's a non-elimination round, she just glares at Ryan on the Chill Zone.

In Hello and Dubai, Stephanie and Ryan are on very bad terms. Stephanie repeatedly get frustrated when Ryan gives her the cold shoulder. The Daters decide to go for the "Serve" part of the "Either/Or". Stephanie hits the ball so hard, the Tennis Menace gets knocked off the roof. The Daters end up placing fifth.

In New Beijinging, Stephanie still remains angry over Ryan. She continues to be angry because of good mood of Ryan, who is too happy to cook exotic animals to Stephanie in the challenge. But to the chagrin of Ryan, Stephanie eats coldly without complaint, getting the next tip. In the race on the Great Wall of China with Rickshaw, Ryan decides to lead Stephanie down a path full of stones purposefully, making Stephanie to swing uncomfortably. Later, Ryan disagrees with Stephanie about which way to go, because he believes that she is always wrong. Ryan carries Stephanie, and goes to the right, thus arriving to the Chill Zone in first place, their first victory.

Following in I Love Ridonc & Roll, Ryan and Stephanie have no trouble at all while enduring the heat in the sauna due to their working out at the gym. Stephanie pushes Ryan into the semi-frozen river before he pulls her in as well. At the start of the challenge, Ryan fails at performing the air guitar, causing Stephanie to insult him as she believes that he couldn't do it if he tried. Ryan flips as his anger causes him to act out and unknowingly impresses the crowd.

In My Way or Zimbabwe, decide to use their hatred for one another as a strategy to be more motivated in the game, however it works against them when they drive off road. An argument leads to Stephanie to knock Ryan off the waterfall with a paddle, where she then proceeds to take her selfie. She is also force to take the selfie with the rhino, due to Ryan taking too long, and they come in third place overall.

In Shawshank Ridonc-tion, the Daters manage to break out of jail and build a raft in leading to them getting sixth place. Despite her and Ryan only managing to catch two bunnies during the All In challenge in Down and Outback, the two of them manage to give capture 10 rabbits, sending them to the next challenge. Despite Stephanie's constant complaining, Ryan is able to fly the glider and spot the Chill Zone. They land safely and get third place, much to their excitement.

She then develops a conflict with the Ice dancers in Maori or Less, due to them trying to slow down the other teams. She tricks Ryan into doing the 'Either Or' challenge by strapping the bungee cord onto him while he was distracted. Due to his constant failures, they later switch positions with Stephanie managing to catch the fish, resulting in them arriving at the Chill Zone in fifth place.

In Little Bull on the Prairie, Stephanie has difficulty with the All-In challenge due to her hatred of baked bean, and repeatedly spits it back out while eating. Upon finally finishing, she fights with Ryan over who those the Random Botch, and ends up riding the mechanical bull. They come in second place overall.

Moving onto the next leg of the race during Lord of the Ring Toss, Ryan successfully throws a ring on one of the narwhals before anyone else. When they run to the Don Box, they luckily get a boomerang. However Stephanie becomes so angry at Ryan that she boomerang him, forcing them to repeat the challenge, but with Stephanie doing it instead because it is a Botch or Watch challenge and Ryan already did it. Stephanie finds it very difficult to do the challenge herself. They end up coming in last place, but are safe again since it is a non-elimination round.

In Darjeel With It, the Daters reconcile when Stephanie shows off her true weakness by struggling under the heat, but Ryan supports her and helps her to not give up. This makes Stephanie feel terrible about her harsh treatment on Ryan throughout the race and apologizes. Despite getting eliminated for stopping to make out in the end, they leave on a good note with each other, even stronger than before.

The Daters gets mentioned by Sanders in Last Tango in Buenos Aires when Carrie and Devin are forced to bring back a previously eliminated team to the race because of their injury. Sanders alleges that they might pick the Daters. Or as she puts it: "The Hater Daters". It's assumed that Carrie's friendship with Ryan may convince Carrie to bring back the Daters. Instead, Carrie selected the Surfers to replace them.

The Daters are last seen in A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars, watching the finale with the other eliminated teams and are last seen in the group shot.
