Bridgette and Gwen

This article is about the friendship between Bridgette and Gwen. Bridgette becomes friends with Gwen after Courtney is "voted" off Total Drama Island, not really having anymore close female friends.

Basic Straining
When everyone's eating the stolen food, Bridgette and Gwen are seen talking to each other.

X-Treme Torture
Gwen and Bridgette were shown to have already been friends when they saw and began to chat about a haiku poem and thought it was either by Trent for Gwen or Geoff for Bridgette. Though at first they were certain the other's respective romantic interest wrote it for that person, they started arguing with each other, supporting their own love interest once Gwen accidentally and non-intentionally insulted Geoff's intellegence. When they found out that neither Trent nor Geoff had any idea of the haiku (Geoff not even knowing what one was) they hugged each other after both admitting they were wrong. They then promised each other they'd work together to discover who had written the mysterious poem (though it ended up being by Harold for LeShawna). After the long day of detective work, the two girls said good-night, and headed back to their own team cabins satisfied. A flashback reveals that the two often spend time together basking in the sun on the dock. This is the first episode that shows Bridgette and Gwen as friends, though the flashback is proof to them having a friendship already.

Brunch of Disgustingness
Gwen warns Bridgette about Heather's cruel ways. Also, later, when the girls split the cabin in half, Bridgette takes Gwen's (and LeShawna's) section.

Hide and Be Sneaky
Gwen had teamed up with Bridgette and LeShawna to vote out Duncan when Bridgette had suggested it. She was shocked to see Bridgette being eliminated instead of Duncan.

Haute Camp-ture
Bridgette stated that she would vote for either Gwen or LeShawna to win. She likely opposed Chris' attempt to trick them into voting off LeShawna (which, unfortunately, he succeeded at) and did not play a part in her elimination.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Gwen stated that Bridgette was one of the sane people on the island (the others being Owen, Cody, LeShawna, and DJ). Bridgette sided with Gwen too at first but then switched sides when Owen announced that he would throw a party if he won.

Monster Cash
Gwen and Bridgette shared a bunk with each other. Gwen had the top and Bridgette had the bottom.

The Aftermath: II
Geoff continues to torture Gwen with questions about dumping Trent. Bridgette continuously pleads him to stop, as Gwen was desperately trying to draw away from the subject. Also, Gwen mentions all of her friends that she still had after everyone knowing about the side-deal with the Killer Grips. Later, when Geoff attempts to force Gwen into a tub of hungry piranhas, Bridgette sticks up for Gwen and tries to stop it, thinking that even this was going too far.

It is also interesting to note that Bridgette, operating under the username "Gidget123," asked Gwen how to deal with her egotistical boyfriend, namely Geoff. Although she denies to the audience that she was willing to take advice from her after the mess with Trent, this scenario implies that Bridgette still values Gwen as a friend despite their strained relations. Gwen, fully aware that Bridgette was behind these questions, said to be straight up. Bridgette apparently took that advice to heart, as she dragged Geoff off the stage to set him straight for his behavior. It is also notable that Bridgette warned Gwen about the anvil that would fall on her if she lied during the segment "Truth or Anvil."

The Aftermath: III
Although they don't interact, Bridgette does not bring up anything about Gwen's breakup with Trent, strongly implying that their earlier dispute over Gwen's actions has, for the most part, ended.

Phobia Factor
When Gwen tries to freak Courtney out with negative commentaries about the tub of green gelatin, Bridgette tells Courtney to ignore her, saying that Gwen was just trying to make her back out. However, this is before Gwen and Bridgette became friends.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Bridgette sided with Owen because of his party being mentioned despite her friendship with Gwen. It is possible that this was because Geoff was bound to side with Owen due to his promise for a huge party, and the two are known to be inseparable. In response to this, Gwen collectively called Bridgette, Geoff, and the other campers "sell-outs."

The Aftermath: I
Despite being friends with Gwen, Bridgette supports Trent over her when the two break up. She goes so far as to draw on Gwen's face on the camera just for her own amusement. This may indicate that she has lost much of her respect for Gwen.

The Aftermath: II
When Bridgette sends mail to Gwen under the nickname "Gidget123," Gwen asks Bridgette who could have sent the letter. Bridgette then asks aloud who would ask Gwen for advice, and laughs sarcastically. This could mean Bridgette still asks advice from Gwen as a friend, although she seems to have lost much respect for her after hurting Trent. Gwen responds by saying she actually has learned something from her relationship about being straight up with people. Also, when Bridgette denies that she asked the question, she accidentally causes the anvil to fall on Gwen, who is saved by DJ. Gwen explains that the anvil was meant for Bridgette because she was caught in a lie. Bridgette hastily signed off the show to avoid drawing negative attention to herself.
