Izzy

Izzy (E-Scope/Explosivo/Esquire), labeled The Psycho Hose Beast of the group, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. She also was a cast member of Total Drama Action on the Killer Grips. She is the only camper to return after being eliminated in both seasons.

Total Drama Island
Always using a different alias, Izzy is soothed by the sounds of horror movie soundtracks. She says at one point that her IQ is 188, explaining her crazy personality. Izzy also states that her entire family shares her genius (she seems to take pride in this).

Izzy first arrives on the Island she trips and smashes her chin on the edge of the Dock of Shame, though she admits she enjoyed it. Izzy was originally put on the Killer Bass team, but she offered to switch with Katie at the cliff. She also seems to enjoy fire. She is known for her insane/stalker personality, and she speaks slightly faster than normal humans do. She also dislikes being rejected by those she stalks. She joined Total Drama Island by camping out on Chris McLean's doorstep and refused to leave until he allowed her on. Chris allowed Izzy on, but she received a restraining order shortly after that would go into effect once the show was over. The restraining order will most likely be lifted because Chris admits on the TDI Rundown that he like how Izzy's insanity brought drama on the show; and therefore invited her back. Izzy often brings up her relatives whenever she is in the Confessional stall. She has a brother who was a mechanic, though he developed a fear of vehicles when he was run over by a car. She says her uncle tried to cut off his ear at a family reunion, mirroring Vincent Van Gogh. However, he wimped out and only cut it off half way and it was hanging off his ear (it ended up in her salad). Izzy was the only Gopher not to get grossed out by Owen's bite mark on his rear end (she even found it "awesome"). Izzy has shown that she does have a dark side, as she has been known to lie many times. She also was offered an alliance by Chef in Total Drama Action, but she kicked him aside when he made her split the money (she actually thinks that because of this, Chef rigged the acting challenge so that she would lose). Seeing as how she is on the run from the RCMP and frequently gets into trouble, it seems as though her family either doesn't pay any attention to her or they actually keep away from her (though some of her stories about this may just be lies).

In Up The Creek, it is revealed Izzy is A-WOL following an explosive accident while serving in the reserves and is thus wanted by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police). During the Campfire ceremony, a helicopter shines a searchlight down upon Izzy and informs her that she is under arrest. Izzy, realizing that her past has caught up with her, runs off into the night laughing and screaming, "You'll never get me alive!". Before this, Chris was about to give the final Marshmallow to either her or Lindsay, meaning it is unclear whether or not Izzy would have originally been the one eliminated if the RCMP had not shown up. However, in later episodes, Chris considers Izzy to have been eliminated that night when he does a recap of all of the losers to the present episode. It makes sense, seeing as how she was one of the main reasons that the Gophers lost that day's challenge.

But Crazy Girl does returns to the competition in No Pain, No Game (coming in swinging on a vine and taking a bite out of a raw fish), claiming that she never left the island, but it was hinted by Eva before she was taken away on the Boat of Losers (after getting eliminated a second time) that she was with the other losers at Playa Des Losers and not on the island at all. Izzy's eccentric personality is even more apparent than before and even enjoyed being electrocuted by eels and having her face wrapped in poison ivy during a torture challenge. She also seems to know karate, or at least the basics, as she was able to hold her own against Chef Hatchet (which may be one of the reasons she has avoided capture from the RCMP).

In Search And Do Not Destroy, she joins Heather's alliance and helps Lindsay to get her key out of a bee hive although both get slightly injured by this. She did know about Heather's plot to break up Trent and Gwen, but she did not participate in it. It is assumed after this she left the alliance as she did not interact much with Heather or Lindsay in later episodes.

In Hide and Be Sneaky, Izzy didn't have an official hiding spot, but for the most part followed and mimicked Chef's movements. She did engage in a fist fight with Chef when he discovered her hiding in the rafters of the mess hall. She defeats Chef and heads towards the dock, but slips on water and gets eliminated from the challenge. Heather tried to use her to vote off Owen, but Izzy clearly showed hesitation about going through with it. Though it has not been proven, the general consensus is that Izzy did not vote for Owen, as he turned out to be safe from elimination before the final Marshmallow was given out.

Izzy builds a good bike quickly in the beginning of That's Off the Chain! and offers to team up with LeShawna. The two ride off haphazardly all over the island and aren't seen until the end of the episode, meaning they did not participate in the challenge.

In Hook, Line, and Screamer, she develops a crush on Owen when they start to make out behind a bush (even though they both know they shouldn't with a psycho killer hunting them). However, she gets mad at Owen for pushing her into the psycho killer's path when they are chased down, running off and leaving her to "die". Despite being angry at Owen, she seems to eventually forgive him, though it does not happen overnight. Izzy is officially voted off in Wawanakwa Gone Wild! (because of Heather's influence with some of the other campers, especially Duncan, who was trying to be in an alliance with her), after the campers each had to hunt for a randomly-chosen animal. She was supposed to catch a deer, but despite saying she has excellent aim, Izzy ends up shooting anything that wasn't a deer with a tranquilizer gun, including Chef, Heather (thinking she was a deer because of the deer antlers Duncan made her wear), a plane, and a horse/unicorn. When eliminated, Izzy (shockingly) acts calm and casual, saying everyone has to go sometime. Owen offers to make out with her to "cushion the blow" (which Izzy ignores). Izzy grins and bids the others farewell, saying "Good night everybody, thanks for coming out!"; then throws down a smoke bomb and vanishes. This action actually backfires on Heather, since she and Izzy were the only two campers to not catch an animal; when Izzy was eliminated, Heather was technically the only camper who failed to catch an animal, meaning she had to clean the communal washrooms, though she did manage to get Duncan to do it for her due to their temporary alliance.

Izzy is shown swimming in the pool at Playa Des Losers in Haut Camp-ture with the other campers who have been eliminated. She is still up to her usual antics, such as biting people underwater and teasing Noah about the fact that he kissed Cody during the challenge that took place in The Big Sleep. She reveals to the audience that she finds Heather to be a "total psycho" and is one of the many campers who accidentally voted LeShawna off the island simply by mentioning her name (ironically, she was trying to get the others to not say her name).

In the season finale, Izzy returns to the island with the other losers to watch Owen and Gwen compete in the final challenge that would determine the winner. She rooted for Owen to win even before he promised to throw the others a giant party on a yacht if he were to win, most likely due to their on and off relationship. As the challenge goes on, Izzy and Lindsay see that Owen is losing and are determined to not let that happen, so they use brownies to cause Owen to charge at top speed towards the finish line. Izzy gets crushed by Owen as he reaches the finish line, but she is still happy for him and he gives her hugs and kisses.

In the special, she has apparently gotten over Owen (as her personality causes her to only like a boy for a minute before being ready to toss him off a cliff) and their romantic relationship seems to have been put on hold, though Owen still believes he may be in love with her. During the special challenge, she teams up with Eva and Noah to get the case containing one million dollars. They got the case, but she and Eva were manipulated into giving it to Justin. The three of them managed to get back at Justin (with a bucket with a fish) and Izzy managed to grab the case, though she tripped and dropped it. Izzy was soon caught in the stampede of people and was one of the fourteen people to go on to Total Drama Action, though neither Eva nor Noah were able to join her. Izzy unofficially renames herself to "Kaleidoscope" in the special, wanting her peers to refer to her as "E-Scope" for short. This new identity Izzy created would play a significant role in her plans for the new competition.

Total Drama Action
At the start of Total Drama Action, Izzy constantly refers to herself as E-Scope and gets mad at anyone who calls her Izzy (she even flipped Owen once because he called her Izzy). Izzy seems to be comfortable with the challenges as she says she has experienced challenges like these before (such as getting abducted by aliens). After her first elimination, Izzy abandons her E-Scope identity (though starts to take on others). Throughout the season, Owen tries to get back in a relationship with her and get her attention; though fails due to Izzy getting distracted by other things (like a mechanical monster). The two do still hang out together and interact often. After Izzy returns to the game and abandons her E-Scope identity, the two quickly wind up together as a couple. The two remain a couple up until they are separated by Izzy's second elimination. Owen was eliminated shortly after Izzy, they are presumed to be reunited off screen.

Izzy arrives at the site with the other castmates. She is the only one to not get on the trolley train (until Owen calls her Kaleidoscope and urges her to get on, to which she flips her way onto the trolley). Izzy (and the rest of the cast) is immediately drawn into the first challenge, which is escaping from a giant robotic monster (controlled by Chef). Izzy is the first one to be captured. She is quickly dropped in the holding cell, and soon she is joined by the other castmates (except Owen, who broke the machine due to his enormous weight). While the other campers are waiting for Owen to get to the trailers, Izzy apparently goes on a date with the robotic monster. Izzy and the other girls get to stay in the non-crushed trailer (but then it is also crushed by Chef's robot, causing Izzy to quickly get over the monster). After Chef fixes up the trailers, the bunk arrangements are assigned and Izzy initially shares a bunk bed with LeShawna, though the arrangements prove to be inconsistent from episode to episode (leaving Izzy with her own bunk bed most of the time).

During the alien challenge, Izzy reveals that she has been abducted by aliens many times and even has a broken tracking chip in her neck that only shocks her when she hiccups. Izzy duels with Chef during the challenge using large paintball cannons, though she fights hard, she is eventually defeated in the end. Izzy falls to the floor (as if she'd been fatally wounded) which causes Chef to worry that he killed her. However, she gets up and shows to be completely unharmed and the two have a friendly laugh about it (to which Chris gets upset about because the lack of gore).

In Riot On Set, Izzy is the final castmate chosen for Trent's team, the Killer Grips. In their first challenge, Izzy offers to play the role of the old lady, insisting that she is the reincarnation of her great-grandmother, Mavis. Because of Chef's mishap with the scripts, Izzy winds up delivering a painful version of a gangster, forgetting her lines and instead telling the viewers she can flip her eyelids. This gaffe cause the Killer Grips to lose the first challenge and she is voted off that night. At first she refuses to go, claiming she is not Izzy but E-Scope, but after Chris changes her name, she is escorted to the Lame-o-sine where she shouts out that she will get a star on the Walk of Fame one day.

Izzy appears again in The Aftermath: I, where she joins the others "losers" on a special talk show titled Total Drama Action Aftermath, hosted by Bridgette and Geoff. Izzy comes on as a special guest along with Trent (who had just been eliminated in the previous episode). She enters after eating some crackers and grapes (even collecting the crumbs she spits out). She then stuffs some into her shirt and goes out (eating them as she reveals on the the show that she once had a boyfriend named Graham Cracker who she got a restraining order from). She also reveals that she got an electric chip placed in her neck that goes off at the first sign of dishonesty. She tells Bridgette and Geoff that Chef wanted to make a secret alliance with here but she didn't accept the offer. Throughout the show, she constantly teases Geoff and Bridgette for being the first two eliminated. During the show, Izzy takes over the position as host for a while after Bridgette gets mad at Geoff for calling Heather "hot". She eventually goes back to the "guest" position when Trent starts singing his song he wrote after he and Gwen broke up, which brings Geoff and Bridgette back together.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Izzy returns to the competition on the technicality that the votes that were cast earlier were for 'E-scope' and not Izzy. As of this episode, she has resumed going by the name 'Izzy'. While the Screaming Gaffers were digging an escape tunnel in the challenge, Izzy emerges from the soil from the other side of the tunnel. She tells the team that she was underground living with prairie dogs, and that she would help them win the challenge. Heather is surprised that she would help the team that she wasn't originally on, but Izzy told her that she looks at friends and enemies differently from her time underground. After they emerge from the ground, they see that the Killer Grips already won. Izzy cheers and says that it's better to be on the winning team as she joins her former team. She later shares a romantic moment with Owen in this episode as they compare each other to desserts. The sweet talk continues as Izzy compares Owen to a caramel-covered marshmallow.

In The Sand Witch Project, Izzy's newly picked-up relationship with Owen becomes strained as she gets incredibly annoyed at how he is constantly saying everything she does is cute (including her scary face). However, they are later forced to make out during the final round of the challenge and happily enjoy it (losing the challenge in the process).

In Masters of Disasters Izzy's relationship with Owen is back on track as the two of them aid each other in the first part of the challenge. During the first part of the challenge, Owen's jaw is broken by Chef's unpublished manifesto, prompting Izzy to be the first one at his side and shows deep concern for him throughout the episode. Izzy acts as the informal team captain during the submarine challenge. When Lindsay gets a number code, she doesn't know what it's for until Izzy and Beth learn it's a combination code for the bottom hatch's combination lock. When Lindsay and Justin drop the letter in the water and the ink smears, Izzy freaks out and claims that she's surrounded by loons. Izzy and her team nearly drown until Harold manages to get the bottom hatch of the Gaffers sub open, thus ending the challenge and saving the entire cast.

Izzy creates a new name for herself - "Explosivo" in Full Metal Drama, which is an (apparently male) alter ego for herself, whom she claims is "loco for boom boom", and enjoys explosives. Izzy sometimes refers to herself as "Explosivo" as well as saying that he/she is her friend. Izzy alone sets up the explosives for the second part of the challenge, and though she makes a very powerful explosion, it doesn't win since the setup wasn't very creative. After Justin gets his face scratched, he asks Izzy if she thinks he's cute (to which Izzy says she never did). Out of anger, Justin eliminates her when he convinces Beth and Lindsay to vote for Izzy, rather than him. Owen attempts to give Izzy a goodbye kiss, but she gets pulled away by Chef and is brought to the Lame-o-sine off-screen. It is hinted that Izzy may use her new alter ego to return to the competition later in the game.

Izzy returns to the talk show stage in The Aftermath: II, now seated in the VIP section along with Trent. Later in the episode, Izzy apparently falls out of her seat after an intern bumps her with fan mail, but it is shown that the "Izzy" that fell out of the chair was a standee. The real Izzy then swings in on a vine, attempting to get back a guest spot (but can't due to already having one done so in the last Aftermath). She refers to herself as "Esquire" now. Bridgette then calls in Chef to take her away, but Izzy lures Chef into a piranha pit that Geoff originally set up for Gwen. After dunking Chef in, Izzy escapes off the stage.

Audition tapes
Unlike the other campers, Izzy had two audition tapes.

In her first audition tape she is hanging upside down on the monkey bars and is speaking in mixed-up sentences(Like Yoda). She flips onto the ground and says she can roll her eyes up in her head and double joint her elbows (she reveals during the talk show of TDA that she is double jointed after a critical injury to her elbow). She then says she can wrap her tongue around her head before the camera falls over. Izzy then picks it up and says some last words (before her mom calls her and Izzy yells back at her).

In Izzy's second audition tape she stated that she was loyal and smart and then started twirling fire batons and then set off the sprinklers. She then apologizes to her mother. It is guessed that this was maybe a prototype personality for Izzy.

Camp TV
While most of the cast appeared in the prototype series Camp TV, Izzy was one of the four campers (along with Noah, Courtney and Heather) to not appear. However, many characters in the original show do have sharp teeth when they get angry similar to Izzy's teeth becoming razor-sharp at certain times. Since she never appeared in Camp TV, Izzy has no prototype design.
