Justin

Justin, labeled The Eye Candy of the group, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He is currently a cast member of Total Drama Action on the Killer Grips.

Total Drama Island
The moment that Justin was born, he was a vision of loveliness. He was a test tube baby and his mother paid handsomely for that test tube. Justin has always been a looker. As a child, old ladies tried to pinch his cheeks which led to him being a successful child model and hasn't stopped working since. His 5th grade teacher had to send him to the office every day so that the other kids could get some work done. Justin's bone structure is being studied by the Italian branch of the Center of Analysis for Breathtaking Features. He is a straight-A student, but his teachers must move him out of the class room so he will not distract the other students. Justin gets things for free because people are compelled to so he does not earn a living like other people. In the preview, he is considered the pretty boy. Justin likes gorgeous objects, or anything that matches him in terms of looks. He is also known for his killer charm. Justin joined TDI so he can donate his winnings to the “Unattractive-Looking People Wish Foundation”. Justin is a very handsome guy, has large washboard abs that he takes particular pride in, and is a highly accomplished and very successful male model and has became somewhat of a sex symbol; in fact, even sharks refuse to eat him due to his good looks. Many of the girls (even Eva [although he and Eva grow to hate each other] and possibly Owen) liked him, especially Katie and Sadie. Due to being kicked off so early, Justin was really a very minor character in the show with very little characterization. However, his full character comes to light in the special, where it is revealed that he is actually a liar and uses his power over women (and Owen) to get what he wants. He is also narcissistic and seems to give off the impression that he thinks nothing of those less hunky as him (as shown with Noah).

Though it is unknown how strong they are, Justin allegedly has "powers", according to Izzy. He can manipulate any girl into doing or saying whatever he wants. His powers have also been shown (although to a certain extent) to work on men as well, as he has been able to distract Owen (explaining why Owen made some homosexual comments around him), and he was able to get the keys to the plane from the powerhouse Chef himself. His "powers" also seemed to have worked on Chris, as Chris commented that he got on the show simply because of his looks. Justin is fully aware of his supposed powers, as revealed in the one-hour special. There seems to be different levels of his powers: his voice, his eyes, and taking his shirt off. Heather used his "shirt off" powers to distract Gwen in Total Drama Island's season finale, but Owen also got distracted. By just looking in his eyes, girls will spill any secrets to him if he asks. When he takes his shirt off, he can convince any girl to hand over 1 million dollars to him.

Justin has a feud with Noah. This feud seems to have originated when Justin voted off Noah and later escalated during their stay in Playa Des Losers, probably because of the character's enormous personality differences. The feud is shown in special, Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!, when Noah calls Justin the "anti-me" and later, by the end of the episode, Noah attacks Justin with fish. He is then finished off by Izzy when Izzy slams a bucket over his head. Justin started to walk away and wouldn't have made it to the dock and season two, however his parachute got caught in the stampede and he was pulled onto the dock with the rest of them. He was technically the last person to make it to the dock and season two.

Total Drama Action
Justin's character is much more touched upon than in the previous season. There is much foreshadowing (particularly in Beach Blanket Bogus) that Justin will be in Heather's role as the main antagonist of the season. Justin is currently in his own bunk in the boys' trailer, despite sharing one with Duncan at first. He is often seen with Beth, who is currently falling in love with him. In Monster Cash, Justin is quickly drawn into a monster chase along with the other campers. When Justin is caught, his "powers" apparently cause Chef Hatchet to lower him gently into the holding pit (instead of just dropping him like the rest of the campers). During the alien challenge in Alien Resur-eggtion, Justin teams up with Beth, LeShawna and Lindsay. It is here that he starts to show signs of nastiness when he makes sarcastic remarks at Lindsay, who is too awed by his beauty to realize that Justin was insulting her. Justin and the rest of his team loses the challenge when Chef Hatchet(Alien Mother) traps them with a full dose of "alien slime" (green paint in reality), to which he thinks feels good.

His true nature finally comes to full light in Beach Blanket Bogus, where he seems to be aware that Beth does actually have feelings for him. Justin tags along with her at the beach and tells Beth that he is the only one who did not receive a friendship bracelet. She pulls out her last one, saying it is sweaty, but Justin admires it nonetheless and gladly accepts it. Justin reveals in the confessional that he is willing to do anything to win. He then looks at his bracelet and mockingly uses his charming voice to foreshadow his plans to lure Beth into an alliance where he can manipulate her whenever he wishes to. This shows that he is a truly manipulative person who is even willing to use love as a way to get what he wants, suggesting he is quite narcisstic.

In 3:10 to Crazytown, Justin starts to find ways of getting out of challenges by stating that he has model rights. Justin has also been shown to treat Beth poorly, as she said that he told her that she looked like a horse (though she first thought it was a compliment until she thought about it). By eavesdropping, Justin was the one who found out about Trent throwing challenges for Gwen and informed the team. In front of the Killer Grips, Justin accused Gwen of cheating to get to the final two, and told her to prove that she wasn't in an alliance with Trent. This forced Gwen to tell the Killer Grips to vote off Trent. Justin and the rest of his team eliminated Trent out of anger of losing the challenges.

Audition tape
In Justin's audition tape, it shows him sitting on the beach holding up a star fish while in the background a voice repeats his name three times.

Camp TV
Justin was one of the characters to appear in Camp TV. His design looks nearly identical to his current design. The only real difference is his face, which had dotted eyes and a sweeter smile. This may or may not indicate that Justin was not originally intended to be an antagonist on Camp TV, but this is hard to determine as he did not appear in the promo.

Trivia

 * Justin returns as a competitor on Total Drama Action.


 * Justin only talks independently in the 1st & 27th episodes of Total Drama Island (though he is much more talkative in Total Drama Action).


 * On both the Teletoon and Cartoon Network websites, when a visitor can click on a camper and learn about them, Justin is the only camper who is silent when the arrow lands on him. Instead, his "sexy" music plays.


 * He and Chris both wear a similar necklaces (although they are slightly different as Justin's is split and Chris's is whole). This may mean that both Chris and Justin are from (or at least been to) the same region of Canada.


 * He and Eva are the only ones to earn one marshmallow.


 * Justin is the only character in the show who has pupils and colored irises.


 * A possible joke towards him being an antagonist in Total Drama Action is that he bears a great resemblance to an action movie hero (with big muscles and good looks). Thus it is somewhat ironic as he is actually an antagonist to the others.


 * He used to be Izzy's boyfriend. Izzy claims that she broke up with him because he was a liar. Justin's side of the alleged story is unknown, but his alleged manipulative side that is now showing in Total Drama Action insinuates that Izzy is telling the truth about him.


 * Some have believed Justin to be from a specific ethnic group due to his tan swarthy skin tone; though it is just as possible that the tan is from sun bathing.


 * He was outsmarted by Cody in the TDI special (Cody tells him that the paparazzi arrived and Justin falls for it). This could be a potential weakness for Justin: an undying thirst for attention.


 * In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!, he throws a complete (though not entirely improbable) curveball in terms of how he was portrayed in the first episode, which is most likely meant to set him as the main antagonist of Total Drama Action: he was shown to be easily annoyed by Katie and Sadie (who were helping him at the time), and tricked them into spending the rest of the competition in a cave, then proceeded to use his good looks to dazzle both Gwen and LeShawna to extract information out of them, as well as doing the same to cheat Izzy, Noah and Eva out of the million dollar case (Trent even questions that there is more to Justin then he lets on). He would also use his looks to get the keys to access the airplane from Chef Hatchet; a clearly unfair advantage over the other campers.


 * It is possible that Justin snapped after he was eliminated, as he was acting friendly and kind before his elimination. He may have figured that he could not trust anyone after he was eliminated so early (and to Heather) and thus decided to start using his looks to get whatever he wanted and not care for others. However, he still tried to cheat like in The Big Sleep, he painted eyes pretending he wasn't sleep.


 * Relating to Noah's comment of being the "Anti-Me", he and Justin actually do seem to be opposite foils:
 * See Justin-Noah Conflict.


 * Katie, Sadie, Beth, LeShawna, and technically Lindsay appear to be the only girls who are still in love with him:
 * Heather dislikes him (she is shown to be disgusted with him in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon).
 * Eva hates him, though fell for his trap in the special.
 * Gwen likes Trent, though she easily gave in to his charms in the special.
 * Lindsay likes Tyler, but also fell for his charms in the special; though she mentions Tyler frequently in the new season, she is seen flirting and latching herself onto Justin as much as Beth has been.
 * Courtney likes Duncan.
 * Izzy hates him and likes Owen.
 * Bridgette likes Geoff.


 * Justin has only been in the Confessional stall in one episode of the first season (as seen in the special), but has made numerous appearances in the confessional make-up room in Total Drama Action.
 * After nearly drowning in Beach Blanket Bogus, Justin is resuscitated by a shark; the sharks have been enamored with Justin ever since Not So Happy Campers - Part 2.


 * In 3:10 to Crazytown, Justin shows that he has a contract with Gluteus Maximus Modeling and uses a clause in it to get out of a challenge.
 * He is the only male character with thick lips.
