Beth and Lindsay



This article is about the friendship between Beth and Lindsay.

The Big Sleep
Beth and Lindsay's friendship began when they were thrust into an alliance by Heather. Lindsay was brought into the alliance for being "dumb enough," and Beth for being "desperate enough," to do whatever Heather would tell them to. Just before that, Beth joined Lindsay in standing on her head to redirect the blood flow, thinking it would keep her awake. Heather attempted to talk strategy to her new alliance members, but they both fell asleep before they could talk about anything other than basic rules.

Beth and Lindsay hold onto one another when they are frightened by the bear.

Phobia Factor
Lindsay (along with LeShawna, Gwen, Heather, Cody, and Owen) was clapping Beth for conquer her fear and won a point for their team.

Up The Creek
Beth and Lindsay wrangled Trent into a canoe with them, preventing him and Gwen from riding with each other. During the ride, Lindsay asks Trent if she can work on her tan while she laid her head down on his lap. Trent allowed her to, and very briefly, Beth is glaring at Lindsay and Trent for reasons unknown (she might have been jealous).

Paintball Deer Hunter
Beth and Lindsay are designated hunters while Heather is a deer. The pair travel through the forest, trying to find deer from the opposing team to shoot, but eventually come up to Heather, who was sitting on a tree stump and ordered the two to fetch her food. After a while, Beth snapped, shot Heather with her paintball gun (along with LeShawna), and was officially out of the alliance. Lindsay was forced to vote for Beth to be eliminated by Heather when their team lost the competition, but in the confessionals, Lindsay admits that she admired Beth for standing up to Heather. Beth managed to avoid being kicked off in this episode.



If You Can't Take The Heat...
Beth and Lindsay aid LeShawna in tricking Heather to run into the freezer after her make-up bag, only to get locked in. It was later revealed that Beth inadvertently cursed the team with a tiki doll she brought back from Boney Island two episodes ago, which played a part in the Screaming Gophers' losing streak. Lindsay wanted to vote Heather off, but was forced by Heather to vote for Beth again. This time, Beth was voted off the island.



The Very Last Episode, Really!
In the Norwegian dub, when Gwen won the competition, Lindsay cried while Beth held her.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!
Lindsay and Beth rekindle their friendship and are seen hanging out together at Playa Des Losers. During the scavenger hunt, they both formed a team together (including Ezekiel) to search for the million-dollar case as they catch up on girl talk. Lindsay now shares Beth's disdain for Heather as both girls reject her from joining their team. After Lindsay announces that she would spend her prize money on buying France to become its queen, Beth asks if she would be allowed to visit, to which Lindsay happily allowed. Both girls qualified to compete in Total Drama Action.

Monster Cash
When Beth returns without her braces, Lindsay tells her that she's on her way to being her new BFFFL. Any references by Lindsay to Beth being her BFFFL usually seems to be intended to hurt Heather. When Lindsay and Beth are separated during the first challenge, Beth seems more concerned about reuniting with Lindsay than winning the challenge, showing that she is still desperate for acceptance and popularity. Also, when Lindsay declares that WHEN she wins, she will become move to France and become queen, Beth says: "My mom said that when got my braces off, my world would totally open up! She was right! I'm goin' to France!" This proves she trusts her BFF, and knows she can win.

Alien Resurr-eggtion
Though she still dislikes Heather, Beth and Lindsay appear in a Confessional cam scene where Beth references Buddha and tells Lindsay they should not sink to Heather's level by being mean back to her. Lindsay is in awe of Beth, finding her words deep and meaningful. They team up together with Justin and LeShawna, but are trapped in a room where they are all covered in slime and eliminated from the challenge. Regardless, all three girls hug Justin.



Beach Blanket Bogus
Lindsay and Beth's friendship seems to become a bit rocky when Lindsay and Beth seem to compete for Justin's attention by offering him either bacon (Lindsay's offer) or a tofu substitute called Facon (Beth's offer). Later, Lindsay becomes angry with Beth for her crushing on Justin and calls her a copycat. Beth calls Lindsay tanorexic, but she quickly apologizes and offers her a friendship bracelet. With Beth's strategy and Lindsay's convenient supply of magazines and hairspray, both of them were responsible for winning the sandcastle challenge for their team by creating a sturdy sandcastle prop.



3:10 to Crazytown
Lindsay and Beth face the challenge (mounting a horse by diving off of a diving board, a reference to the cliff jump challenge) together. Beforehand, Beth promises Lindsay to not let Heather have her hair if she fails to survive, but then asks if she could have Lindsay's hair, but Lindsay denies her.

The Chefshank Redemption
Throughout the episode, Lindsay and Beth assist Justin in ensuring that Gwen throws the challenge so that the Killer Grips can win, as they were intent on making her pay for Trent's cheating on her behalf, officially becoming members of Justin's Alliance. During the prison food challenge, Beth accidentally causes Lindsay to throw up when she puts back in her retainer (Which Gwen had just coughed up). Lindsay does not hold this against her even though they lost the first round. They presumably told Gwen to vote herself off alongside Justin that night.

The Sand Witch Project
Lindsay and Beth begin the episode referring to each other as 'Besties'. Beth told Lindsay that she was unable to scream due to a botched tonsillectomy. The challenge involved one contestant to portray a killer, and the others to play the part of screamers. Izzy, and Justin wanted to play the part of killer, but Lindsay demanded that it be Beth as she would be useless as a screamer. Lindsay also took charge in the second part of the challenge, trying to keep her team from running out of the tent. The team failed and had to vote someone off. The final Gilded Chris Award was either going to Justin or Lindsay. Lindsay asked why it might be her, and Beth told her that she was starting to be bossy. DJ, however, probably saved Lindsay as he eliminated himself.

Full Metal Drama
Lindsay serves as admiral and Beth works as her assistant during this episode, but despite her help in the challenge, during the Gilded Chris Award ceremony, Lindsay stated that if she gets voted off, she wouldn't blame anyone other then Beth (much to Beth's dismay), stating that she has to blame somebody if she lost.

Dial M for Merger
Beth and Lindsay were upset that the teams were dissolving because they wanted to stay on the same team. Beth and Lindsay get into an argument when Beth asked Lindsay on what kind of a best friend she is when they were trapped between red rays during the spy movie challenge. Later when they thought the building would blow up, they hugged each other and stated they would miss each other's smiles.

Super Hero-ld
Beth convinces Lindsay and LeShawna to vote Duncan off due to him being a big threat and in order to spite Courtney. When it was revealed that LeShawna was eliminated instead of Duncan, Beth and Lindsay were shocked. They immediately said farewell to LeShawna as she was heading over to the Lame-o-sine.

The Princess Pride
Beth and Lindsay combine their burritos together for the competition. Also the two sit by each other when they are eliminated from the challenge. They also practice voodo on a princess Courtney doll in order to cause her pain.

Get a Clue
Beth and Lindsay's friendship falters a little in this episode. Beth would occasionally team up with Courtney and admits that Lindsay may not be the brightest person on the show. Beth does feel a little guilty for taking advantage of Lindsay during the DNA collection challenge. When Lindsay was at the movies with Duncan she does slightly regret not taking Beth instead. Beth was a little disappointed that Lindsay did not choose her to go to the movies but was not angry with her. Beth reveals watching Courtney's jealousy was more entertaining.

Rock n' Rule
Lindsay and Beth brought Harold and Owen with them and they decide on sending Duncan out of the game. At the ceremony, Beth looks at Lindsay, while Lindsay looks at her back when they vote someone off. When it was revealed that Lindsay was sent home over Duncan because she accidentally votes herself off when she got distracted by Beth, Beth and the others (except Duncan) are shocked. Beth heads to Lindsay and tells her that she blames herself on getting her eliminated. However, Lindsay remarked that friends were worth far more than money. Beth replies to her saying that that was the smartest thing anyone has said the entire season. Lindsay took her elimination in stride and wished Beth and the others some luck as she heads over to the Lame-o-sine.

Trivia

 * In Total Drama Action, Beth and Lindsay's close friendship closely resembled the unbreakable bond that Katie and Sadie shared in Total Drama Island. There are several parallels to the two friendships:
 * The two are always talking about how they are such close friends.
 * They both made their happy squeal, "EEEEEEE!" just like Katie and Sadie did.
 * They all seem to have a crush on Justin.
 * Lindsay is thin, tall, and thinks with her heart, similar to Katie; while, Beth is a little fat, short, and thinks with her brain, similar to Sadie (however, Sadie appears to be much more overweight as compared to Beth).
 * They jumped together off the diving board in the horse-mounting challenge in 3:10 to Crazytown holding hands, similar to how Katie and Sadie jumped off the cliff into the lake together in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2.
 * Lindsay and Katie share the same voice actress (Stephanie Anne Mills), adding to the similarities between the two friendships.
 * Lindsay and Sadie have the same worst fear (bad haircuts), so it is a possibility that Beth and Katie have similar worst fears.
 * Like Katie and Sadie (and pretty much everyone else), Lindsay and Beth share a hatred for Heather.
 * For coincidence, Katie and Lindsay only vomit one time in Total Drama Series so far. Katie in Not Quite Famous, and Lindsay in The Chefshank Redemption
 * Like Katie and Sadie, Lindsay and Beth are in the same team in every season of Total Drama Series (although Katie & Sadie only compete in Total Drama Island).
 * For coincidence; in Total Drama Island, Katie & Sadie's friendship were in the Killer Bass; and Lindsay and Beth were in the Killer Grips. The Killer Grips are the relative of the Killer Bass in Total Drama Action.
 * In The Big Sleep, Lindsay and Beth sleep at the same time, like Katie and Sadie.
 * In Total Drama Island, Courtney hates Katie and Sadie; and it's possible that in Total Drama Action, Courtney hates Lindsay and Beth. Actually, Courtney hates Lindsay and Sadie more (who shared a fear of bad haircuts)
 * Beth and Lindsay are seen together many times in TDI like Katie and Sadie; actually, Katie and Sadie are seen always (before Katie's elimination) together.
 * The voice actresses for Lindsay, Katie, and Sadie compose the Khaki Clones trio in 6teen, another group of friends that are generally considered the 6teen counterparts to Katie and Sadie.
 * Both sets of friends have referred to themselves as the other's "BFFFL" at least once.
 * In both friendships, the first eliminated between the two girls was the thin girl who thinks with her heart (Katie in TDI and Lindsay in TDA). Like Sadie, Beth hugs Lindsay before she leaves the set. Also like Sadie, Beth blames herself for her BFFFL's elimination.
 * They all share a general animosity with Heather and Courtney.
 * This friendship is maybe thanks to Heather's alliance.
 * They both end up being used by the season's antagonist (Heather in Total Drama Island, Justin in Total Drama Action).
 * They both like Owen, LeShawna, Cody, and Ezekiel and hate Heather, Courtney and Duncan.
 * Both were the last two females, and last two contestants overall, from the original Screaming Gophers that were still in Total Drama Action, until Owen returns in Rock n' Rule and Lindsay's elimination in the same episode.
 * Strangely, Lindsay wins most challenges while Beth loses most challenges.
