Everyone and Gwen

This article focuses on the interactions between Everyone and Gwen.

Overview
When she first arrived on the island, Gwen shows anti-social attitude towards the others and preferred to be alone. Despite her seemingly cold, harsh attitude, Gwen is not a bitter person, but is rather suspicious and very cautious about whom she lets into her life. Eventually, she manages to open up herself and make friends with the others. However, over the course of the series, her relationship was heavily strained on two different occasions most often due to her love-life.

Alejandro
In Jamaica Me Sweat, after Gwen gets electrocuted repeatedly and faints, Alejandro dives in to rescue her, and later carries her back to the shore. However, he most likely did this in order to steal the gold chain she had found a few seconds prior to the electrocution, as he is seen wearing it as he carries her to safety. Alejandro glares at Gwen for beating Duncan in Greece's Pieces, and she glares at him after nearly killing Cody in Hawaiian Punch. She also cheers when Heather knees him in the groin, and sends him down the volcano on an ice cube. Also, Alejandro indirectly plays a role in eliminating Gwen, since he makes Tyler reveal Duncan and Gwen's kiss to Courtney.

In Evil Dread, Gwen accidentally trips on Alejandro during the challenge. He tells her that he appreciates her efforts and that she is "as wise as her skin is translucent". In the confessional, Gwen admires his eyes despite knowing he is "evil". Later, Gwen and the other members of the Villainous Vultures use Alejandro to get onto the platform to assemble their landmark. She can be heard apologizing to him as she climbs his back.

In Saving Private Leechball, Alejandro tries to form an alliance with Gwen before Heather and Jo do. While walking next to her, he say that if she was his girlfriend, he'd defend her when someone glared at her, something that Duncan failed to do. Throughout the episode, Alejandro, Heather and Jo tries to gain Gwen's loyalty by allowing her to take charge of the team. They also quarrel on who should partner with her.

Beth
There was no real interaction between the two on Total Drama Island, although Gwen didn't join Leshawna and Cody to tease her in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2. In the first episode of Total Drama Action, Gwen complimented Beth on her braces being removed. A minor conflict between the two arises in 3:10 to Crazytown, as Beth seems hurt by Gwen when she discovers that Trent was throwing challenges for Gwen's team and Gwen did not stop him. In The Chefshank Redemption, Beth teases Gwen about her earlier actions in order to gain an advantage for her team, much to her despair. In The Aftermath: II, Gwen states that she "loves Beth," showing that she does not harbor any harsh feelings towards her. In Mutiny on the Soundstage, Beth admits she misses Gwen and she too likes her. Additionally she knew the name of her pet lizards. In Beth's ending, Gwen looked worried when she saw Beth getting hit by the briefcase.

Blaineley
In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Blaineley supports Gwen during Gwen's continuing feud with Heather. In Aftermath Aftermayhem, Blaineley calls Gwen "New Heather" when she walks onto the stage. Later, Gwen is seen glaring at Blaineley for sending Bridgette to Siberia. Blaineley also tries to start an argument between her and her ex-boyfriend, Trent (due to Gwen dating the person Trent initially blames for the cause of his and Gwen's break up last season) with no success. In Hawaiian Style, Gwen laughs at her misfortune after Geoff airs a clip of Blaineley crashing into a hut in China.

Bridgette


Gwen seems to have a good friendship with Bridgette. In X-Treme Torture, they worked together to find out who wrote a love letter to one of the girls at camp. Bridgette also originally rooted for Gwen to win in The Very Last Episode, Really!, although she later sided with Owen instead when she heard that Owen will use the money for party.

Cameron
When Cameron moved to the Villainous Vultures in Moon Madness, Gwen was the only member to give him a friendly smile while the others seemingly give him a menacing glare. In No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition, Gwen and Cameron quickly form a bond as they were the only "good guys" on the team. Earlier in the episode, Gwen helps Cameron to fix his glasses while the other members simply insults him. For most of the challenge, the two of them are partnered with each other. Gwen also pulls Cameron away from Sierra when she is once again fixated on him.

Chef Hatchet
Chef and Gwen do have some form of conflict with each other, but Chef also garners a bit of respect towards Gwen in Basic Straining. Gwen asks Chef if she can go to the bathroom, but lands up cleaning the bathroom floor under Chef's orders instead. When Gwen was able to win the final challenge Chef congratulates her and said that he would go to war with her any day. Gwen sarcastically says that she will keep that in mind when she is choosing her career. In Are We There Yeti? he referred to Gwen and Heather as "Grim and Grimmer." At the elimination ceremony, Chef wanted to read Gwen's diary while she was in the forest. Gwen gasps when he says this. In Gwen's ending of The Very Last Episode, Really! Chef is seen cheering when Gwen crossed the finish line. In The Chefshank Redemption, Chef handcuffs Gwen when she is eliminated and escorts her to the Lame-o-sine saying "Dead girl walking." At the end of Hawaiian Punch, Gwen laughs as Chef and Chris' boat sinks into the ocean.

Chris


The moment she arrived on the island, Gwen was immediately annoyed by Chris. While Gwen greatly dislike Chris, Chris seems to like her as she is one of the few contestants that is able to help to boost the shows ratings due to her love life.

Cody


Gwen explains in Up the Creek that she thinks of Cody as an "annoying younger brother," despite his unrequited crush on her. Throughout the aforementioned episode, Gwen responds to Cody's advances with annoyance and anger, even twisting his arm behind his back and hitting him with a canoe paddle at one point. However, once Cody offers to help Gwen get together with Trent, she becomes more accepting of him and even helps him win a bet by lending him her bra. However, over the course of the next two seasons, their interactions became increasingly unpleasant for Gwen because she and Trent had broken up. Gwen eventually falls in love with Duncan and Cody once again lost his chance. Despite this, Gwen is still willing to make friends with him.

Courtney
Throughout much of Total Drama Island, not much interaction occurred between the two girls (aside from a minor conflict such as in Dodgebrawl) due to them being on different teams. In Haute Camp-ture, she complains that Gwen was never a team player (and how she should be in the final five instead of her) while the other campers tell her she is wrong. However, in Total Drama Action, Courtney accused Gwen of stealing Duncan away from her. By the episode Slap Slap Revolution of Total Drama World Tour, the conflict seems resolved and the girls have developed a sort of friendship until Greece's Pieces, where Tyler told everyone that Gwen and Duncan kissed, causing her to hate Gwen once again. Their conflict is still unresolved.

Dakota
Although not much of a conflict, in The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean, Dakota tosses Gwen aside once she digs her up. However, she did so in order to find her crush who is also buried in the same hole as Gwen is.

DJ


In Total Drama Island, DJ and Gwen have a minor friendship, and Gwen mentions in The Very Last Episode, Really! that she thinks of DJ as one of the few sane people on the island. In Total Drama Action their friendship continued to grow, with DJ being the only member (other than Duncan) of Gwen's team that would show her any respect, which she highly appreciated. In The Aftermath: II, they share the stage as guests, and are seen helping each other calm down backstage. During the show DJ saves Gwen's life by tackling her out of the path of an incoming anvil.

Duncan


In Total Drama Island, Gwen and Duncan start off as friends, albeit with minor conflicts occasionally such as in Camp Castaways, as their similar tastes and views drew them to each other. The two became even closer during Total Drama Action, to the extent that their interactions were thought to be a couple on several occasions by the other contestants. Despite denying any sort of attraction for each other, Gwen and Duncan began to fall in love and the two started a relationship in The EX-Files after Duncan broke up with Courtney. The pair broke up in Moon Madness after a rift began to appear throughout the earlier episodes of Total Drama All-Stars.

Eva
Eva's relationship with Gwen is ambiguous. In No Pain, No Game, Gwen votes off Eva, calling her a "freak." However, Eva and Gwen have been hinted to get along on other occasions, including Eva going to Gwen's team in the final episode. In the promotional clip for Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, they are shown getting a tan together. Although in The Aftermath: I, Eva calls Bridgette and Geoff on her cellphone and yells, "Gwen and Trent stink! Go team Eva!" in a falsetto. This may show that Eva doesn't care for either of them, and thinks that the Trent vs. Gwen debate is a waste of time. In The Aftermath: II, Eva was glad that Trent told the truth, sparring Gwen from needed to sit at the piranha tank.

Ezekiel
In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, after DJ's mother slaps Ezekiel, Gwen looks up with a noticeably shocked, even concered look for him. When Gwen notices Ezekiel's overconfident demeanor in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, she then turns her attention to him and points out that he was the first contestant to be eliminated in Total Drama Island. Ezekiel simply grins and explains that this won't happen again.

Geoff


At the start of Total Drama Island Gwen dislikes Geoff's bubbly persona, and does not enjoy being around him. However, after the two are chained together in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, she is forced to spend the day with him. At first she is annoyed by his relaxed attitude and laid back responses, to the extent that she throws his camera into a lake in Boney Island; however, Geoff is able to coerce Gwen into admitting that she only hated him because he acted like the popular teenagers in her high school, and that she had never been to a party. Horrified, Geoff immediately promises to invite her to one of his parties once the game is over, and then manages to get her to cheer with him. From this point on Gwen grows fond of him and they become friends. Unfortunately, their time apart caused the friendship to deteriorate throughout Total Drama Action, leaving them indifferent towards one another by Total Drama World Tour.

Harold
In Total Drama Island, Gwen is generally put off by Harold's geekiness, telling him not to stand near her in The Big Sleep. In Not Quite Famous, Gwen borrows Harold's red ants and dumps it on Heather. They seem to be more civil in Total Drama Action as Gwen decides to choose Harold to be on her team. However, Gwen hits him over the head with a shovel to try and sabotage the Screaming Gaffers in The Chefshank Redemption. Rather than being upset, Harold admits that the action made him feel attracted to Gwen instead although he still voted for her. It's unknown whether Harold is still attracted to her or not. It should be noted that Harold is also involved with Gwen and Trent breaking up as he supports Duncan's theory about Trent's addiction with the number 9.

Heather
Gwen and Heather have a long and detailed rivalry, comparable to Leshawna's conflict with Heather. The conflict first arises in Total Drama Island and intensifies as the series progresses. Ironically, they are always placed on the same team.

In the first season, Gwen is the most prominent victim of Heather's cruelty; from revealing the secrets written in her diary to the entire viewing world, to kissing her love interest, Trent, effectively breaking her heart. By the end of the season, Gwen eventually get even with Heather by teaming up with Owen (who was also occasionally mocked and tormented by Heather) and eliminating her in the semi-finals. For the next few seasons, the two of them continue to be on each other's throats and occasionally tries to find a way to get rid of the other.

Izzy
Gwen finds Izzy strange, but doesn't hate her. The two of them usually get along, but don't have a lot of interaction. Izzy did not help Heather in ruining Gwen's relationship with Trent in Search and Do Not Destroy. In Haute Camp-ture, Izzy was mad at Trent for cheating on her with Heather. In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Gwen isn't as annoyed like Courtney and Heather by Izzy's claims that she can speak to camels. While Gwen has no conflict with her, it was Izzy who caused her the loss in The Very Last Episode, Really!. Gwen was also upset at Izzy for dumping Owen in Jamaica Me Sweat.

Jo
Jo is able to save Gwen in The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean, when Gwen yells for someone to save her.

Conflict arises between the two in Total Drama All-Stars as Jo belittled and insulted Gwen several times while Gwen dislikes Jo's arrogance.

In Heroes vs. Villains, Gwen suggests to Jo that she should dive from the cliff during the challenge, only for Jo to say "nobody tells me what to do, goth-ball!" and calls Gwen a "kisser", referring to how Gwen hooked up with Duncan two seasons ago. Later in the challenge, when the Villainous Vultures fall behind, Gwen blames Jo in the confessional.

In Saving Private Leechball, Gwen was furious over Heather and Jo's quarelling that she couldn't sleep. The next morning, Jo pretends to apologize to Gwen and also acted nicely towards her in order to pull her into an alliance before Heather does. Gwen knows of their plan and was just playing along. Throughout the episde, Jo will often agree with Gwen's plan and also argue with Heather and Alejandro on who would partner with her. Jo was eventually eliminated later in this episode, meaning Gwen was among many of her teammates to have voted for her.

Justin
In The Very Last Episode, Really!, Heather, Gwen does not consider Justin sane, and calls him "fame-hungry" in the confessional. In The Very Last Episode, Really! and Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Gwen lets herself get manipulated by Justin's charm and good looks.

In 3:10 to Crazytown after witnessing Gwen break up with Trent due to him throwing challenges for her, Justin confronts Gwen about it, and tells her that she "owes" Trent's team, the Killer Grips, for all the challenges Trent had thrown. Gwen is distressed by this, but accepts the punishment nonetheless. She was also forced by Justin to throw the next challenge for his team and vote for herself. Gwen was one of the few contestants who greatly dislike Justin despite falling for his charms on more than one occasion.

Katie and Sadie
Gwen didn't interact with the two of them much in Total Drama Island, due to being on different teams. They did however, side with Gwen before moving over to Owen's team. In the Gwen's ending, they are shocked when she crosses the finish line, yet smile at her when she agrees to go out with Trent. In Total Drama Action, however, the two seem to share a strong disliking of Gwen due to her break up with Trent, even going as far as to start an Anti-Gwen Club. However, once Trent told the truth, the two are be able to patch up their conflict with her. In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Gwen invite the two of them as her assistant for her blog show although they are more of a nuisance than being helpful. Nevertheless, they help Gwen to go green by wearing green colour variations of their usual outfit to the Gemmies.

Leshawna
Leshawna and Gwen seem to be good friends during the series. The two share a common dislike for Heather's tactics and are often seen together in their spare time during Total Drama Island. In The Very Last Episode, Really!, Leshawna was one of the only contestants who supported Gwen to win the season, throughout the finale.

Lightning
Lightning annoyed Gwen in Evil Dread with his constant annoying phrases and mannerisms. Gwen said she was shocked he even made last season's finale. She is, however, thankful when Lightning caught the shovel that was threw at her and later hand it over to her.

Lindsay


Gwen gets annoyed at Lindsay very easily, due to Lindsay's stupidity, but Gwen holds no personal grudge against her for it. She and Lindsay team up in If You Can't Take The Heat... to make the flambe in the challenge. Gwen was upset that Lindsay was eliminated instead of Heather in That's Off the Chain!. But she supported Lindsay when she badmouths Heather. Lindsay says in Haute Camp-ture that she wants Gwen to win. Gwen later says in season two, during the second aftermath, that she "loves Lindsay."

Mike
In The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean, Mike glares at Chris for burying Gwen underground. He also tells the others to hurry up and save her, afraid that she will not have much air left.

In Heroes vs. Villains, after Zoey gives Mike a kiss on the cheek for good luck, leaving him in a daze and stumbling backwards, he accidentally knocks Gwen and himself off the cliff.

Noah
Gwen appears to dislike Noah's attitude, as she tells him to "shut it" when he makes a hypocritical comment after avoiding helping the team during the challenge in Dodgebrawl. She also throws a marshmallow at him after the elimination ceremony. However, when Courtney insults Gwen in Haute Camp-ture, Noah defends Gwen by telling Courtney to "get over it". Also, while its unknown who he supports in Gwen and Trent's break-up, he seems to be happy when Gwen doesn't needs to sit at the pirahnna tank after Trent told the truth in The Aftermath: II. In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Gwen laughs at him when she discovers that Noah was working for Chris. In Aftermath Aftermayhem, Noah sits next to Gwen during the first part, and the two share uneasy glances upon hearing that Blaineley has a "surprise" in store for them and are also the only contestants who are not interested in returning to the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. It should be noted that both have similar personalities as both are sarcastic and intelligent contestants who prefer to be alone and are often seen reading a book.

Owen


In Total Drama Island, Gwen seemed to be frequently annoyed by Owen, but they were still able to become friends. Throughout the series, Owen repeatedly calls Gwen a "hottie," but not to her directly indicating he is a little attracted to her. After getting rid of Heather, the two of them become the final two of the first season. Their friendship continues in the next two seasons despite being on different teams.

Sam
In The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean, Gwen was buried underground along with Sam. When she attempts to call Chris, she was disgusted by Sam's fart and passes out for a while.

Sierra
The two appear to have a conflict, as Gwen seems to find Sierra's strange habits disgusting in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, and Sierra is jealous of Gwen because Cody, who Sierra has a crush on, is attracted to her. Sierra's dislike of Gwen grows after Gwen kisses Courtney's boyfriend; although Sierra still helps Gwen out by restraining Courtney from attacking her in Greece's Pieces. In The EX-Files, she cuts out a paper doll of Gwen and bites its head off while singing a disturbing song. Once Gwen is eliminated in Picnic at Hanging Dork, Sierra is ecstatic, but is quickly disappointed when she realizes that Cody is still moping after her.

Trent


This was arguably the most focused on relationship in the first and second season. In the first season, Gwen and Trent gravitated towards each other quickly and hints of a mutual attraction between the two were clearly visible as early as the first episode. Though there was a point in time where Gwen was unsure if she should trust Trent, he made up for it and their close friendship culminated in a brief kiss. Shortly after this, the trust was broken again due to Heather's scheming, as Heather wanted to make Gwen miserable again. Regardless, Gwen and Trent managed to make amends by the end of the season and begin dating.

In Total Drama Action, their relationship became increasingly unstable due to the stress of the competition after they were placed on separate teams. Furthermore, Gwen was quickly becoming closer friends with Duncan, which caused Trent to become jealous. This ultimately resulted in their break-up and subsequent eliminations.

Despite their break-up and Gwen's new relationship with Duncan as of Total Drama World Tour, Trent and Gwen continue to interact in an awkward, but friendly manner.

Tyler
Tyler and Gwen had very minor interaction during Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, when Owen hugged both of them, Tyler said to Gwen that at least she doesn't have to sleep next to Duncan. In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Gwen gets mad at Tyler for tripping the rest of them. They once again did not directly interact during Total Drama World Tour, although a flashback during I See London... features Tyler taking a photograph (at Cody's request) of Cody cuddling Gwen while she is asleep and in a bikini. He also agrees with Owen about Gwen being hot in The EX-Files. Unlike Duncan, Gwen is not angry at Tyler for revealing the kiss between her and Duncan.

Exceptions
While she was well liked in Total Drama Island, her actions in the next two seasons were misunderstood (due to the actions of several antagonists), causing her to be disliked by most of the contestants although at both times she was eventually forgiven.

In Total Drama Action, her relationships with the other contestants were heavily strained due to the combination of her break-up with Trent and Justin's involvement in it. In 3:10 to Crazytown, Justin lies to his teammates that Gwen made a deal with Trent to get them into the final two. To prove her innocence, she told them to vote Trent off. Feeling guilty over Trent's elimination and due to Justin's blackmailing, she started to throw challenges in The Chefshank Redemption, causing her teammates (including her best friend Leshawna) to vote for her (she also votes for herself). However, the Peanut Gallery (and Bridgette) are oblivious of Justin's role and the majority of them side with Trent as they accuse her of selling Trent out without hearing Gwen's side of the story. When she appears as a guest in The Aftermath: II, she was booed by the audience, Courtney, Katie and Sadie (the latter two even to the point of forming an anti-Gwen club). Eventually, Trent stood up for her and told everyone that he threw the game and not Gwen. Trent's actions managed to fix Gwen's reputation and her relationship with the others including Katie and Sadie (who become her assisstants for her blogshow in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special). Courtney however continues to hate Gwen as she believes that Gwen is trying to steal Duncan from her.

In Total Drama World Tour, Gwen and Duncan kiss after his return and Courtney finds out about this in the next episode from Alejandro and Tyler. Courtney then gathers the rest of Team Amazon (except Cody) to get rid of Gwen, which they succeed at doing. However, Gwen is mostly regarded as the protagonist in this conflict by the other contestants and the audience didn't boo her like last time when she appears in Aftermath Aftermayhem. This is most probably because of everyone's greater dislike of Courtney. It should be noted that Sierra and Heather only help Courtney to vote Gwen off because they have their own reason to have Gwen eliminated (Heather because of their long rivalry, and Sierra because Gwen stands in the way between her and Cody's affection) and not necessarily because they pity Courtney. While this issue was no longer brought up again, it can be presumed that all of the contestants (except Cody and Courtney) support Gwen's new relationship with Duncan.
