Geoff and Gwen

The Gwen-Geoff Friendship is the former friendship between Gwen and Geoff. In Total Drama Island, there have been many instances where they have been friendly, but in Camp TV, the prototype season, they were a relationship. As of now, their friendship appears to be a conflict, with Geoff using Gwen's recent drop in popularity as an excuse to torture her, a ploy to boost ratings. However, Geoff renounces his "Captain Hollywood" persona in The Aftermath: III, meaning that they may become friends again in the future.

Overview
The two are somewhat opposites in personality, with Geoff being an upbeat guy in bright, revealing clothes and light, natural hair who actively likes to party in contrast to Gwen's seriousness and preference to be left in solitude as well as dressing in dark, unrevealing clothes and having dark, dyed hair. Towards the beginning Gwen is rather mean to Geoff. It is possible that the producers switched around their original intentions for Camp TV by having Gwen like Trent from the beginning, while disliking Geoff.

Basic Straining
Gwen and Geoff are the final two campers for their respective teams to last through Chef Hatchet's boot camp. Their final challenge is to hang upside-down from a tree for as long as possible without falling off. As their teammates cheered them on, Gwen claimed she could hang out on the tree all day. Geoff enthusiastically shouted "Rock on, sister!", being rather friendly about the competition even though it had come down to just the two of them. Despite claiming to "live for the head-rush" that comes with hanging upside-down, Geoff passed out and Gwen ultimately won the challenge,forcing the Killer Bass to send someone home.

Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
It is revealed that Geoff feels that both Duncan and Gwen are gloomy. Gwen still finds Geoff too cheerful, even claiming that he was the camper annoying her the most on the island at that point, possibly even more than Heather, due to his upbeat, partying attitude. Geoff and Gwen are then paired together for that episode's challenge. Geoff begins telling her a tale of when he and his buddy Jay were causing shenanigans during a party and received the longest detention in his school's history, though Gwen tells him numerous times that she doesn't care about what he says. When they get to the island, Duncan and LeShawna begin wrestling over her weight and Geoff comments on how they are like milk and grape juice and how they contradict each other. When Gwen begins yelling at him of how they were in the middle of the challenge, Geoff motions to his back and lets Gwen ride, to Gwen's surprise and pleasure. The two bond after Geoff finally confronts Gwen about her negative attitude after Gwen snaps at him for not taking the challenge seriously, throwing his camera into the lake. He had always wanted to befriend Gwen, but felt that she was not the type who would be interested in partying, though he assured her that if they went to the same high school, that he would invite her to all of his parties. Gwen admitted that she sometimes wished she could be more cheerful and "normal" like other girls, and also sadly stated she had never attended a party, to Geoff's horror. She shrugged it off as the whole thing not being part of her DNA until Geoff corrected her, saying partying and being upbeat is more like a state of mind. When Geoff managed to open Gwen's eyes to a new way of looking at life, she slowly warmed up to him. After the second challenge, after they had won it, Gwen was successfully shouting out in victory like Geoff. Though they lost the third challenge, Gwen had fully warmed up to Geoff and genuinely had fun with him. This lead to Gwen becoming upset when it was Geoff who was voted off in the same episode, solely because he was too nice, and the other contestants considered his popularity a threat. Geoff, however, took his loss in stride. He was stopped by Gwen before boarding the Boat of Losers, where she gave back his camera that she had thrown into the lake earlier that day. She admitted she went back to Boney Island to retrieve it, and thanked Geoff for all he did for her. Geoff caught Gwen in the moment and snapped a picture of the two of them at the very end of the episode, seeming to symbolize that the two had made peace with each other.

The friendship between Gwen and Geoff is an important turning point in Gwen's life, when she realizes that she doesn't have to be anyone but herself. She understands that being Gwen doesn't have to mean being miserable all of the time, and that it can also mean having fun, being crazy, being loose, and taking chances, which behind Gwen's reserved facade, is a side of herself she has, but is often too afraid to show. This can also be hinting that Gwen won't always be goth, because in truth, her heart is just not into it, and more into being herself, without a stereotype to limit her.

The Aftermath: I
Geoff sides on "Team Gwen", standing up for Gwen and her choice to vote out Trent. Interestingly, he is one of her most vocal supporters perhaps only rivaled by Cody.

Camp TV
In the unfinished prototype version of Total Drama Island, Gwen liked Geoff and disliked Trent. This was switched around in the final product, resulting in Gwen liking Trent from the beginning and Geoff liking Bridgette early on as well, leaving only a "conflict" between Gwen and Geoff, the originally-planned couple.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
Since this episode, Gwen was notably annoyed with Geoff's relaxed attitude, especially disliking his "abuse" of words such as "dude" and "man", even commenting that if Geoff repeated those words, she'd puke.

X-Treme Torture
Gwen openly insults him (though not to his face) when she and Bridgette have a minor feud when the two find a love letter in the form of a haiku, and assume the letter is for themselves from their respective love interests. Gwen considers Geoff a "skater flake" and does not believe he is very intelligent, which is in some way shown when Geoff admits that he does not even know what a haiku is.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild!
When Gwen wins the reward, Geoff, along with LeShawna, stare angrily at her and Gwen states that they are just jealous.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
In this episode, however, when Gwen lists off the "sane" people on the show she actually liked, Geoff is not among the five. Gwen calls Geoff a "party-obsessed jerk" even though they became friends, and Geoff was on Owen's side from the very beginning. Regardless, she has not had any sort of animosity towards him since.

The Aftermath: ll
In a bizarre contrast to the previous Aftermath, Geoff now openly criticizes Gwen for breaking up with Trent, even more so than Bridgette to boost the ratings. Gwen tries to drive away from the subject, but Geoff presses on. He goes so far to show a clip in which Gwen and Duncan allegedly almost kissed because the video featured Duncan playfully wrestle her to the ground a short distance away from her lips. This infuriates Courtney and makes Gwen look bad, even as she struggles to explain that they are nothing more than friends. To add to this, Geoff tried to forced Gwen to sit in a dunk tank full of piranhas just for his own amusement. This brazen act is only stopped by Trent sticking up for Gwen.

The events of this episode force Gwen herself to question her relationship with Geoff. She even asks him about it, to which he responds that his new gig 'trumps' the times that he and Gwen made s'mores. It is important to note, however, that Geoff's ego and craving for high ratings were the main motivational factors behind his attitude towards Gwen, as the fame he was getting as Aftermath's co-host had gone to his head, courtesy of Chris' dietitian and Justin's dermatologist.
