User blog:Berryleaf/Character Appreciation - Week 9: Bridgette



Welcome to Character Appreciation, a blog series that will run for the whole year alongside Project 10. Each week we'll take a look at one Total Drama character, what we like and dislike about them, how they've grown, and what we hope to see from them in the future. I'm Berryleaf, and we're going to start our first week by looking at Surfer Girl, Bridgette!

Overview
Bridgette began her story on the Killer Bass team on the first season, Total Drama Island, quickly establishing herself as the nice girl in her team. Her social game solidifies herself in the majority pre-merge, where she grows a relationship with Geoff in particular. However, this later comes back to bite her in the merge where she is voted off by Duncan 's alliance because of her social game. Bridgette returns in both Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour, where she is unfortunately cast off very early in each season, though this somewhat works in her favor as she gets to host the aftermath show with Geoff.

Opinions
Or, as I like to call them, the correct opinions.

If you know me at all, it is without a doubt that I call myself Bridgette’s #1 fan and my personal favorite character amongst the Total Drama cast. But why do I like this character so much? Well, it isn’t so much her plots that I like as much as her personality, which really shined in the first season. In Total Drama Island, she was very individualistic, forming friendships with Courtney, DJ , Gwen , and others. However, when Geoff stepped in she slowly became less of a dynamic character and more of a prop, which I think is really sad because she had so much potential as a main protagonist. If Bridgette was to return again, I’d like to see her break up with Geoff and maybe do her own thing for a season. She definitely isn’t a flat character by definition, but she needs to break away from Geoff for a bit for us to see more of the Bridgette presented in Not Quite So Famous and Brunch of Disgustingness.

Other than that, her design and outfit is totally fetch. She WERKS that blue hoodie and shorts and her ponytail complements it well.

Best Moment: Almost winning the challenge in Brunch of Disgustingness by somehow getting the very divided Gopher girls to work together.
