Brick and Jo

This article focuses on the interactions between Brick and Jo.

Overview
As two of the most physically adept members of the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island cast, both have had a conflict with each other during their time together on the Mutant Maggots, then later on the Toxic Rats. Both often compete with each other over leadership of their team as well as to see who is the more atheletic contestant. Additionally, Jo doesn't like Brick for following his code of not leaving any friends behind as Jo thinks of everyone, but her as being weak. However, both do have respect for each other and think of one another as a solid contestant.

Truth or Laser Shark
Brick reveals in the confessional that the only one that he feels that is true competition is Jo. After his confession ends, the two immediately cross paths during their morning runs and collide into each other. They then try to make themselves look more athletic than the other, claiming they each did harder exercises than the other. Jo then tells Brick they are the two strongest contestants on their team, and that the Mutant Maggots needs them. However, she reveals in a confessional she only is trying to keep Brick loyal so she can be the strongest team member and use him as an ally. Later on, during the first challenge, when it is revealed that Brick wet his pants on his first and last day of school, Jo laughs at him.
