Dave and Sky

This article focuses on the interactions between Dave and Sky.

Overview
Dave and Sky are placed on the same team, where Dave quickly becomes attracted to her, viewing her as the only one on his team who was sane (other than him). Sky is aware of Dave's feelings and has feelings for him as well though she holds it back in an effort to win the competition. However, as the season progresses, she cannot deny it that her feelings for him grows. Dave on the other hand, tries many ways to win Sky's heart, slowly losing his sanity in the process and rejecting almost everyone around him, including Ella, unknowingly breaking her heart. After Sky was transferred to the opposing team, the two of them admit that they miss each other but Jasmine manage to tell Sky to concentrate on the game and not to let petty things such as boys to get in her head. The same cannot be say for Dave as he finally reach breaking the point of insanity. After Sky injured him during a challenge, Dave lost all form of sanity in his mind to the point that he thinks of quitting the competition. However, after some encouraging words from his friend, Shawn, Dave attempts to win back Sky by showing her how strong he can be. This however backfires when Dave suddenly becomes cocky and arrogant which made Sky mad and rejected him again. Heartbroken and mentally unstable, Dave leaves Total Drama by voting for himself. The two of them met again in the finale where Dave is selected as Sky's helper. Although several issues were brought up again, they finally make amends after Sky kissed him. However, Chris will then show Dave Sky's audition tape, revealing that she actually had a boyfriend back home. This coupled with his already unstable mind had made Dave bitter and angry at Sky for betraying him and did everything he can to make sure Sky did not win. In fact, he wanted to make sure he gets the million dollars that Sky wanted to win so much and burn it right in front of her to hurt her just like she hurt him. In the end however, Dave's chance of revenge failed and he was left on the island alone.

So, Uh This Is My Team?
When Chef hits Dave with a tennis ball to demonstrate, Sky gasps in concern, but Dave dismisses that it only hurt a little. At the start of the challenge when Sky takes charge of her team, Dave attempts to impress her by telling everyone to agree with her, but she is a bit disturbed by this. Later, Sky instructs Dave to act as a distraction for Chef and draw his fire, and pushes him forward. After Dave returns, he is about to tell Sky another idea he has, but before he could finish, Sky immediately rushes forward to hit Chef's tennis balls back.

I Love You, Grease Pig!
Sky calms Dave down when he has a panic attack after being convered in grease. After a while, Dave finally calms down. In the confessional, Dave claims that Sky has a soothing effect on him during his moments of hysteria, which he claims last much longer than it did just then. Sky states in a confessional afterwards that she suspects Dave has a crush on her, but shrugs it off saying she didn't come to meet boys, she came to win.

Twinning Isn't Everything
Dave tries to be closer to Sky by hanging around her throughout the episode. In the confessional, he admits that he has a crush on her, likewise Sky states he is cute and begins to feel attracted to him, but still maintains she has no intention of being in a relationship. During the challenge Dave shows concern for her when she gets stung by bees. He attempts to flirt with her, but his wording comes out wrong, however he wins over some sympathy from her when states the many allergies he suspected himself of having. Sky still focused on the challenge tells Dave to warn the others that Max was using a blow dart to pop their own balloons. As she does this she clasps his arm then puts her hands on his shoulders, which he enjoys. He happily rushes off to carry out her wishes, but she warns him of a tree which he crashes into.

I Love You, I Love You Knots
For his dare, Dave is required to kiss the person next to him; either Shawn or Sky. As Shawn had already run away, Dave has to kiss Sky. Although the both of them tell each other that this is just for the challenge, Dave cheers excitedly in the confessional. But just as they are about to kiss, Sky burps at his face, disgusting him. Since their lips fail to touch, team Maskwak does not earn a point. Later, in the confessional Sky admits that she belches whenever she was nervous at something such as boys. Upon mentioning this, Sky quickly stutters and deny her attraction to him. After the challenge, Dave tries to start a conversation with Sky, but she runs off, having to burp again, leaving him puzzled, if she likes him or not.

A Blast from the Past
Dave meets up with Sky and they talk a little while walking. Sky mentions she wants to be an Olympic gymnast one day and says her sister was almost on the rhythmic gymnastic team for Canada. Dave insults rhythmic gymnastics which caused Sky to mad at him while defending the sport. Dave apologizes and says he was trying to tell his feelings to her. He then asks Sky if she feels the same way, to which she loudly belching, but this time Dave realizes that her belches are a sign of nerves, and asks her if she does like him. She confirms her feelings for him are mutual, but she is interrupted by Chris before she explains she did not wish to have a relationship. During the challenge, Sky notices that Ella is developing a crush on Dave and starts wondering if those two are a couple.

Mo Monkey Mo Problems
Dave is fully infatuated with Sky and prepares a romantic picnic for her. Shawn tries to talk hi



m out of being a relationship since Sky is not interested in being in a relationship but Dave admits that he doesn't care. Eventually, Shawn failed to talk his friend out of his plan leaves to find Sky after Dave mention about Shawn's own feelings for Jasmine. Meanwhile Sky is uncertain over whether Dave truly likes her or not and asks consolation in Sugar. Sugar who was planning to "mess with some minds" tells her Dave is a womanizer and was taking advantage of every girl. To make it even more complicated, Ella who had gained a crush in the previous episode was looking for Dave, runs into Shawn and asks him where he was. Shawn tells her that Dave was in the clearing and had prepared a romantic picnic and was awaiting his love, but he didn't specify who he was waiting for, making Ella misinterpreting it is for her. When she arrives she flirts with a confused Dave, who tries to politely tell her the truth. At first she doesn't catch on, but later he bluntly tells her the picnic is for Sky. Ella is heartbroken by this, but does not hold this against him. At the start of challenge a grief-stricken Ella informs Sky, that she's the one who Dave loves, to which Sky is overjoyed to hear. During the challenge, Dave wanted to impress Sky by agreeing of her plan to bring the bear that ate their monkey to Chris, even though he strongly disagree to it.

This Is The Pits!
By this stage Sky no longer tries to hide her feelings for Dave, however she is still hesitant of being in a relationship. She has a dream of a muscular Dave handing her a ring and asking her to be his jungle queen, before she awakens to Dave offering her some berries he picked. Dave on the other hand continues to move on Sky, and feels the only thing required to cement their relationship is a kiss. However, Sugar, who views their relationship as an alliance, continuously attempts to come between them and interrupt their moments. At the end of the episode, Chris decides to split apart a couple due to it being unfair for the rest of team, worrying Dave and Sky. However, he removes Max and Scarlett, transporting the former onto Waneyitham Maskwak, but then has Sky transfer teams to avoid a numbers advantage. Sky, while upset, sees this as an opportunity for Dave to realize that they're over, but Dave attempts to convince himself otherwise in the confessional before bursting into tears.

Three Zones and A Baby
Following Sky's switch to Pimapotew Kinosewak, Dave is left disappointed in the cave, and Shawn's attempts to cheer him up fail. Throughout the episode, Jasmine berates Sky into choosing between her new team or Dave. Jasmine sabotages Dave as he tries to get across the first zone of the challenge, but Sky saves him from an attacking rattlesnake as a "last act" of their romance. Dave is excited over this as it proves Sky still likes him and he returns the favor by warning her before she can step on a horn. Sky, however, chooses her new team over Dave and throws the horn, allowing Chef to pin Dave to a tree with his pasta rocket. Dave becomes upset once more, forcing Shawn to carry him to the third zone. Shawn inspires Dave to continue by reminding him that giving up won't attract Sky, but a winner will. Dave resolves to win the challenge to impress Sky and once his team wins, he announce to Sky that he is a winner.

Hurl and Go Seek
At this point, Dave has finally lost his mind trying to show Sky that he is a strong competitor. After the teams have merged, Dave once again attempts to move on Sky, but she continues to reject him. In the pre-challenge, he vigorously downs his jug in an attempt to beat Sky and show he's worthy. However this inadvertently makes himself look like an arrogant jerk. Once Chris announces the challenge is a game of hide and seek, he once again tries to pair-up with Sky, but this time she harshly rejects him, telling him that he would never be her boyfriend. This leaves Dave extremely depressed and he kneels over and begins to cry. Chris approaches and seemingly attempts to comfort him, however he (intentionally) ends up making it worse by reminding Dave of all the reasons that made him so upset, which leads Sky to angrily scold Chris. When Dave finally decides to join the others he continues to call out to Sky, by coincidence she is hiding right behind where he's standing and tells him to be quiet as they would both be caught. As Sky comes out they both have another angry exchange, however suddenly both stop and smile at each other. Dave takes the moment and asks her again if he can be her boyfriend, but Sky returns to her senses and once again rejects him before leaving him. Dave finally loses it and proclaims he doesn't want to be her boyfriend, taking off his shoe and throwing it at her. He then states he is a "lone wolf", even crouching down on a rock and howling to emphasis his point.

Throughout the rest of the episode Dave remains dejected over Sky turning him down, and after he gets caught, Sugar exploits this. She makes Dave jealous of Sky turning him down and getting a chance at the million while he doesn't, newly enraged Dave betrays Sky's position to Sugar. While the Dave travels with Sugar he sees two birds showing affection to each other, and tells the male bird the female is intending to betray him. At the end of the episode, Dave and Sky are in the final two. However Dave reveals in the confessional that he had payed off everyone to vote for him, as he had no desire to be in the competition now that he was no longer with Sky. His campaign to get himself eliminated succeeds, due to him voting for himself. As he is about to be fired from the Cannon of Shame, Chris gives him one last chance to make amends with his love. He calls out to Sky one final time, only to find she's not there watching him. A depressed Dave asks Chris to fire the cannon, however Sky comes running over in time to see him get blasted away.

Scarlett Fever
As the island's self destruct sequence activates, Sky admits that she wishes Dave was with her since he always make her feel calm but she quickly remind herself to stay focus in the game.

Lies, Cries and One Big Prize
As part of the final challenge, Sky had Dave selected as her helper. Dave was thrilled to see her again, but Sky was hesitant given their last encounter. Chris only makes this worse when he tells Dave that Sky did not want him as her helper. This leaves Dave to believe that he will only hinder her. Sky makes sure Dave is fully focused for the challenge by kissing him, revitalizing his drive to help Sky win. When Chris states the name of the challenge, Dave asks whether it would be dangerous before telling Sky it would be when he got a response. In the confessional Sky wonders if he used to be brighter. They successfully navigate down the mountain in the first part of the challenge as well as getting through the mud pit without any issue. However, this all changes when Chris shows Sky's audition tape to Dave and everyone else. In it, Sky says she'll miss her boyfriend, Keith, if she is picked for the show. The revelation leaves Dave (quite literally) frozen in shock as the term, "my boyfriend, Keith," plays over and over in his head. Sky tries to convince Dave otherwise, but he bursts out in anger and denies Sky a chance, leaving her guilty of her actions. When Dave was given the chance to become a hinderer for both Sky and Shawn, he heavily targeted Sky with no remorse, citing that if he were to get the split million dollars that he and Jasmine were promised had Shawn and Sky not completed the challenge in ten minutes, he would burn it in front of Sky to make her pay. When Dave sees that either Shawn or Sky (depending on the ending) made it across the finish line before time ran out, he screamed out in anguish over not getting his revenge on Sky.
