Trent

Headline text
Trent is the cool but accident-prone musician of the Screaming Gophers.

Biography
Trent is a casual musician who everyone is friends with. When Trent isn't playing music he is seen working on motorcycles (though he never made it to the motorbike challenge). His dream is to one day have his own motorcycle shop. Although his dad wants him to be an accountant, Trent says no to it. His Killer Bass counterpart is Geoff. It has been hinted in the series that he has a huge crush on Gwen. His feelings are revealed when he sings a love song to her in Not Quite Famous. He is also seen snaging Gwen a extra muffin occasionally. Trent and Gwen start to become a couple thanks to Cody setting them up in a canoe together. Trent and Gwen work their way into a couple, eventually Gwen kissed Trent when he helps her get around a skunk obstacle. Trent says in a confessional that he loves how Gwen is independent and smart. Their relationship, however, is severely damaged in Search And Do Not Destroy when Heather tells Trent that Gwen is only using him to get along in the game and kisses him right in front of Gwen, whom received a note telling her to be there from Heather, though she signed as Trent to fool Gwen. (This event causes the two to lose trust in each other). The relationship is damaged even more when Leshawna convinces everyone to vote Trent or Heather off (not realizing what really happened until it is too late), however, Heather had invincibility this day and any votes going to her were not counted, therefore making Trent walk the Dock of Shame even though it's possible he got less votes than Heather. Trent then told Gwen to keep going and he would be watching and cheering her on, Trent is then put on the Boat of Losers and shipped off. Trent plays a pivotal role in the final episode. Gwen seems to not trust him anymore (despite seemingly understanding what happened with Heather), as a result Trent acts as Gwen's main supporter trying desperately to win her back. He follows her around the trail and helps her around the obstacles. By the end of the race, Gwen starts to trust him again and even says she will go out with him. The two are then invited to Owen's big party. Several times during the series he ends up severely injured: He gets stuck in quicksand, crushed by a crate of oranges, poisoned by Lindsay's badly cooked blowfish, and breaks his back after a 500 foot fall. He is shown to be jealous of Justin whenever Gwen is charmed by Justin's looks.

Audition tape
In his audition, Trent sings a song while playing the guitar in a recording studio. He later then says "ah crap" after a string broke.

Final Episode
On the The Very Last Episode, Really!, Trent was on Gwen's side, but it appeared that she still was mad when Trent fell for kissing Heather. But by the end of the episode, Trent had earned back her trust and she even agreed to go out with him.
