Gwen and Zoey

This article focuses on the interactions between Gwen and Zoey.

Overview
Gwen and Zoey do not interact with each other much during the first half of Total Drama All-Stars, as they are placed on opposing teams. After the merge, however, the two begin to form a bond after Zoey tries to help her with her claustrophobia and they begin to joke about the challenges they face. Gwen also roots for Zoey to win after she is eliminated. In The Final Wreck-ening, Gwen is selected as a helper for Zoey and tries to protect her against her evil opponent.

Zeek And Ye Shall Find
As the contestants try to find a way into the mines, Gwen joins the team of Zoey, Cameron and Mike since Courtney instead chose to partner with her new boyfriend, Scott and the lone Alejandro turning her down as well. When the four of them discover several holes nearby, Gwen steps on loose ground and falls deep into the mines. Zoey immediately dives after her screaming her name. After a panic attack, Gwen discovers Zoey behind her, and proceeds to hug and thank her several times. Zoey then manages to help her to calm down using a unique technique involving Gwen "blowing a candle" after taking in a deep breath. In the confessional, Gwen comments how good Zoey is. As the two girls continue their search for Chris, Ezekiel captures Zoey while Gwen has her back turned, causing her to suffer a nervous breakdown again.

The Obsta-Kill Kourse
Zoey discusses voting off Alejandro with Gwen for what he allegedly did to Cameron in the previous episode. Knowing his history of manipulation as well as wanting to avenge her friend's elimination, Gwen agrees. Zoey also points out that the challenge will not be underground again, so as to make light of what happened last time. During the rope climbing portion, Zoey tells Gwen that the rope that she is climbing is made from dog hair, and the two share a laugh. Their friendship, however, causes a paranoid Courtney to believe that they are forming an alliance and that Zoey has told Gwen about her kissing both Cameron and Scott.

Sundae Muddy Sundae
After Gwen returns from exile, Zoey greets her and asks her about her night on Boney Island. The bond between the two girls begins to fade slightly in this episode as Courtney and Mal, impersonating Mike, each try to turn them against each other. The former voices her thoughts to Gwen that Zoey is "two-faced," while Mal attempts to convince Zoey that Courtney is the foundation of an unofficial alliance between herself, Gwen, and Scott. However, when Courtney attempts to sweet talk Zoey into forming an alliance with her, Zoey refuses as she knows of Courtney's future attempt to betray and eliminate Gwen (who had given up much to repair their friendship) in order to win the season. Gwen also declines to help Courtney vote off Zoey when she attempts to apologize to her (although she states that she is willing to try and convince Zoey to vote off Scott with her).

The Bold and the Booty-ful
Zoey is shown to be surprised and disappointed when Chris declares that Gwen is eliminated for "defacing" his painting. Later, as Gwen is about to take the Flush of Shame, she says that she is rooting for Zoey to win. Zoey thanks her and, in turn, hopes that they are on the same team next time they compete. Gwen begins to angrily respond that she is never coming back, but she is flushed before she can finish.

The Final Wreck-ening
Gwen and Cameron are selected to be Zoey's helpers after she shoots the balloons they are in. Gwen, though annoyed to be playing the game again, is happy to assist her friend. Zoey then recalls Chris's description that the challenge is dangerous and says she feels bad for bringing Gwen into it, along with Cameron. They work together to paddle to the other side of the acid pool using Cameron's bubble. The team gets along well while trying to bring Zoey to the top level. Gwen also reminds her that she cannot show sympathy for Mal since Mike is gone. Later, Gwen goes to hit Mal in Cameron and Zoey's names, but he throws her on top of Cameron. In Zoey's ending, Gwen congratulates her for winning the season. After the island sinks, the girls are seen floating on a cabin with Mike and Cameron. They agree with Cameron that they should never compete again.
