Bridgette

Bridgette, labeled The Surfer Girl, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Killer Bass team. She was chosen as a cast member on Total Drama Action, but she was eliminated before she could be put on a team. She and Geoff currently host a show which includes all of the non-participating contestants and the other cast-mates who have been voted off.

Total Drama Island
Bridgette lives a peaceful life on the western coast of Canada with her mother. She was born and raised on the (British Columbia, Canada) beaches. She is an only child. In Not Quite Famous, she states in the confessional stall that she could work at a surf shack after being eliminated, possibly meaning that she has worked at a surf board rental shop or snack shack before. She is on the honor roll at her school, and is on the school's swim team. She is known to have a few trophies for her surfing skills. She is mostly seen surfing, swimming, or anything that involves being in water. Sadly, when it comes to being on land, she can be a klutz. Some examples of it is her hitting Courtney with a light and crushing her violin, tripping and launching a ember near her team's tent and having it go a blaze, and on dozens of occasions accidentally hitting people with her surfboard and other blunt objects. Bridgette also volunteers at the local vet, and is splendid with animals. She has a lot of friends and the guys at her school can agree she's as pretty as a daisy. She is known to be a vegetarian, and does her best to take care of the earth. Her reason for entering the show was to spread the word of cosmic body surfing and love.

When Bridgette arrived in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, due to false details given to her about the show being filmed on a beach, she brought all of her surfing gear with her. In Not Quite Famous, she volunteered to take part in the challenge - a talent contest - by showing off her ability to stand on her hands for twenty minutes. Courtney was unimpressed with the feat, thinking it was better suited for monkeys, but Bridgette ended up in the talent show after accidentally breaking Courtney's violin. Before the challenge, Bridgette ate too many chips, making her nauseous when she performed on stage which caused her to puke all over the stage and most of the audience. Embarrassed by the incident, she initially welcomed the idea of being sent home. However, due to Harold saving the competition, her team won and she was spared from elimination.

Bridgette's clumsiness on land continued to trouble her and her team in The Sucky Outdoors when she was blinded by a bat and kicked an ember from the campfire onto her team's tent, which instantly charred their only shelter to bits. This proved to be a major problem as it began to rain shortly afterward. Bridgette's team lost the challenge, but since the loss was because of Katie and Sadie's tardiness rather than Bridgette's clumsiness, she made it through another Campfire ceremony. The next challenge in Phobia Factor was for each camper to face their greatest fear. Bridgette was forced to spend six hours in the woods by herself. Despite her attempts to retain her self-esteem, she failed to complete her challenge after Cody (who failed his challenge and was covered in garbage) came walking toward her. Bridgette, thinking he looked like a monster, screamed and ran away. Her team as a whole lost this challenge, but again, Bridgette remained safe.

Bridgette's relationship with Geoff began to show signs in Up The Creek, though at the time Bridgette did not appear to return his feelings. She confided in Courtney that he left a hand-made, heart-shaped bowl with a picture of the two pasted together. Bridgette found this to be extremely corny, but DJ helped Geoff to bond with Bridgette, as he urged Bridgette to help Geoff when he was suddenly stricken with an injury (a splinter in his leg). At the end of the episode, Bridgette accidentally broke the hand-crafted heart and asked Courtney for glue so she could put it back together. Courtney suggested she not waste her time, but Bridgette was beginning to have feelings toward Geoff, replying that she might make an effort to fix it. In If You Can't Take The Heat..., Bridgette partnered with DJ for the spaghetti portion of their Italian-themed meal. DJ again attempted to help Geoff win Bridgette over when he stepped aside to allow Geoff to flirt with her, but ended up moving him away from her when he aciidentally said things that came off as insulting to Bridgette. Bridgette and DJ's meal ended up playing the biggest part of the Killer Bass' third consecutive win, being the highest-rated meal by Chris McLean. In Who Can You Trust?, Bridgette had to prepare sashimi of the Fugu, the world's most toxic fish, for Geoff. She carefully prepared this meal for Geoff, who did not hesitate to test the meal despite the high risk of becoming poisoned by improper preparation. Thankfully, Bridgette's meal did not render him this way and they won this challenge. A bond of trust formed between the two after this, and they celebrated by taking a dive in the lake.

In X-Treme Torture, Bridgette and Gwen found a romantic haiku poem addressed to one of the girls. After humbly thinking the haiku was from Trent to Gwen, and vice-versa, the two argued with each other over who it was really for, insulting each other's significant other in the process. They spent the entire episode trying to find out who wrote the haiku by asking some not-so-subtle questions. It turned out that neither of them were right, and the haiku was written by Harold for LeShawna. Bridgette and Gwen made up for their bickering. And when Geoff didn't know what haiku was he showed her a tattoo he had on his butt.

The teams were dissolved into gender-based teams for Brunch of Disgustingness, leaving Bridgette, the only remaining Killer Bass, to quickly choose sides between Heather and Lindsay or Gwen and LeShawna. Though she was determined to unify the girls in order to beat the guys, she ultimately sided with Gwen and LeShawna. This did not stop her from trying to keep her female team together to endure the series of disgusting meals each camper had to eat. Though Bridgette initially struggled, being a vegetarian and bull testicles being the first thing on the menu, Geoff pep-talked her into eating them, even if it meant a loss for his side. This inspired Bridgette to pull the other girls together in the future courses. Despite her efforts, however, the guys ultimately won. No one was voted off in this episode, but the girls ultimately lost out on a weekend-long cruise and spa. By No Pain, No Game, all teams are officially dissolved. Eva makes an unexpected return, and is furious at her former Killer Bass team for voting her off. Bridgette is the main target of Eva's rage, and Eva target's dares toward Bridgette. Bridgette receives help from Geoff, who volunteers to take a dare meant for her. After the challenge is over, Bridgette and the others vote Eva off of the island.

In Hide and Be Sneaky, the contestants had to hide from Chef Hatchet. She was found by Chef after being sprayed by skunks, leaving her with a smell that could not be removed for the rest of the episode. In this episode, Duncan formed an alliance with the remaining male contestants. Duncan and the others found Bridgette's popularity and athleticism a threat in the future, and despite Geoff's protests, they agreed to vote her off. The girls were aware of the guys building up an alliance, but could not unanimously decide which guy to eliminate, which resulted in the boys winning the majority vote against Bridgette. Before she leaves, Geoff tells her that he did not in fact vote her off. Bridgette believes him and goes over to kiss him, but her lingering stench sends him away quickly. They would not reunite until after Geoff was eliminated in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon.

In Haut Camp-ture, an episode that focused exclusively on the losers residing at Playa Des Losers, Geoff and Bridgette are officially a couple, seen making out in the jacuzzi throughout the episode. (This episode is also noted for implying that Ezekiel may have a crush on her, given the way he reacts to her and Geoff's relationship and repeatedly tries to draw closer to her.) Bridgette later appeared with the rest of the cast in The Very Last Episode, Really! to see the race between the finalists - Gwen and Owen. Initially, she was rooting for Gwen, but switched sides to Owen after he promised everyone a large party on a yacht if he were to win the competition. Owen eventually wins, and everyone throws a celebration. Gwen also listed her as one of the five people she met on the island she considers "sane."

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!, Owen gives up his $100,000 to compete for one million dollars with the other campers. Geoff and Bridgette form an exclusive team to find the suitcase containing the money in the woods. Neither of them share much dialog, as they spend most of their scenes making out, showing that they are still steady as a couple. Ultimately, both of them qualify to compete for the money again in Total Drama Action.

Total Drama Action
Bridgette arrived to Total Drama Action and shared a bunk bed with Gwen. The running gag of Bridgette constantly making out with Geoff continues in this season, to the point where it appears she is not performing well in challenges because of that (though the two do try to restrain themselves). Bridgette's attachment to Geoff quickly annoys their fellow competitors, leading to both of them being the first cast members eliminated in the show. Bridgette and Geoff seem to still be more interested in each other even as they walk the Red Carpet of Shame and enter the Lame-o-sine together (though Geoff fell in and thus Bridgette was the second to enter). In a small clip after the episode, Geoff talks about how money doesn't bring happiness, and says that his mom's mac & cheese brings happiness. When Bridgette hears that, she says that what he just said was ridiculous that they break up for a few seconds before making out and apologizing to each other.

Currently, she and Geoff host a talk show called Total Drama Action Aftermath, where they interview recently eliminated contestants from Total Drama Action and non-participants, and review e-mails and videos from the season so far. However their time as hosts on the Aftermath show has caused a few strains on their once "attached" relationship. The strain begins in The Aftermath: I, when Geoff called Heather the hottest girl on the show, which made Bridgette furious. The two apologized to each other as the show comes to a close and are found making out late at night by the janitor.

In The Aftermath: II, Bridgette and Geoff's relationship starts taking a turn for the worse when Geoff starts acting like an ego maniac and cares more about his own personal fame and the show's ratings than about his friends. Bridgette actually attacks Geoff when he insults her weight after she eats DJ's sandwiches and tries to force-feed him (she eventually succeeded). Bridgette wrote a fake letter under the name "Gidget123" on how her boyfriend was being so mean, going so far to ask her estranged friend Gwen how she should approach this problem (Gwen said to give it to him straight). As the show ends, Bridgette grabs Geoff by the ear and demands to have a talk on how he is acting.

In The Aftermath: III, Bridgette, finally over of Geoff's new attitude, says they're through. He is initially crushed, and tries to talk to Bridgette, but she ignores him, and talks to him through Owen. Not wanting to show his true feelings on camera, Geoff reverts back to his cocky attitude. Bridgette gets Heather, Owen and LeShawna to help her get Geoff on the Electric Chair of Truth. Geoff lies when Bridgette asks him about his new personality and when Owen ask him how he truly feels about Bridgette. She decides to give him one more chance as long as he goes back to his original self and because she realized that he still loves her.

Audition tape
Her friends, mostly guys, cheer her on while she attempts to whistle "Yankee Doodle" through her nose. After claiming she sucks, she then explains she is a good friend and will try her best and either win with integrity or leave with her head held high.

Camp TV
In Camp TV, Bridgette's design differs significantly from her current look. She has her hair braided back along with a headband in it, freckles on her face, an earring (possibly two) and wears shorter shorts (which appear to be torn). Her eyes are very wide in her original design instead of the usual relaxed eyes she has currently. She also seems to have a necklace. Little else is known about her, since she was not featured in the promo.
