Harold

Harold (Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V), labeled The Dweeb, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Killer Bass team. He was a castmate on Total Drama Action and used to be on the Screaming Gaffers.

Total Drama Island
Harold is a rather tall redhead who wears glasses, sports a goatee, and is deemed socially awkward. Although he is mostly called a nerd, he is unaffected by such criticism and considers himself to be cool, as well as a "loner by choice" in the special. He has had some outdoor skills due to being a possum scout (having earned all the badges available, as shown in his audition tape). In Dodgebrawl, he also reveals that he's taken figure skating lessons before joining the competition. Harold highly resembles Napoleon Dynamite in mannerisms and the way that he talks, saying "Awesome," "Gosh!", and "Idiots!" throughout his appearances.

In Dodgebrawl, somebody drew on his face (later revealed to have been Duncan in Haut Camp-ture) and we learn that he has a few medical problems, such as snoring out loud and a severe allergy to apples. Harold has shown to be the underdog of the Killer Bass, although he has proven on many occasions that he is able to save his team when they are suffering in certain challenges, often shocking his incredulous teammates in the process. The first occasion was in Dodgebrawl when he was the only person left on his team and caught Owen's ball, winning the point for his team and their first win overall. One episode later, he used his beat-boxing skills to score perfectly on the Chef-O-Meter in the talent contest, earning another win for the Killer Bass. At the end of Not Quite Famous, Gwen asks him about his red ant farm and later dumps it into Heather's bed. It is appropriate that Harold has been labeled the underdog, since his most significant victories are ones he earned in situations where the odds were heavily stacked against him. Although he is afraid of ninjas, he showed no fear when he was forced to face his phobia in person while he was in the bathroom in Phobia Factor. If he had not accidentally knocked himself unconscious with his nunchaku, he likely would have faced his fear successfully.

In Up The Creek, Harold got paired up with Duncan and Sadie while riding the canoes to Boney Island. In Paintball Deer Hunter, Harold was a paintball hunter for the Killer Bass, along with Geoff and Bridgette. Bridgette didn't like the idea of shooting people, but Harold then reminded her that Heather was a deer, which convinced Bridgette to participate in the challenge, indirectly winning the challenge. Later, Harold, Geoff and Bridgette spotted the paintball fight between LeShawna, Heather and Beth and start shooting at the latter for fun just as the announcement that the hunt is over.

In If You Can't Take The Heat..., Duncan wakes up and notices Harold's used underwear inches from him. Harold denies the underwear is his even though DJ points out his mom sewed his name on them and as Harold leaves to take a shower, Duncan, Geoff and DJ decide to teach Harold a lesson. Later, Geoff secretly picks up one of Harold's used briefs with a stick before going back to the kitchen and signaling DJ, who deliberately spills a bucket of water on Harold. Harold says "Smooth move, Dorkahontas." and Geoff says Harold better change. Later, Duncan and Courtney quibble but are interrupted by Harold entering wearing his thong underwear with nothing over them and wanting to know who took all of his shorts. Later, Harold is told by the guys to go back to the cabin for a pair of underwear and shorts but is unaware the guys have soaked the underwear with hot sauce and when he puts them on, he yells "My biscuits are burning!" and plunges into the lake shortly afterward. Harold enters the kitchen wearing pajamas but still refuses to acknowledge leaving his underwear around the cabin. Harold takes a bite out of a sandwich offered to him by Geoff, and discovers his underwear in the sandwich Geoff then says they'll return his clothes when Harold admits to leaving his underwear all over the cabin.

Later, Duncan, Geoff, and DJ drag Harold's bed to the dock while he is asleep. The next day, Harold wakes up stark naked (Thanks to DJ, Geoff, and Duncan for forcing Harold naked) and at the boat dock in presence of the girls (Heather, Courtney, LeShawna, Lindsay, Bridgette, Gwen, and Sadie) who are swimming in the lake giggling at him. Harold shrieks with embarrassment and covers himself with a pillow. He says he'll never leave his underwear around again like before and begs for his clothes back. With that, he gets his pants back and runs to the cabin, hiding himself, to get dressed.

Duncan didn't prank him in Who Can You Trust?, but in the following episode, Basic Straining, Duncan started to prank him again. In that episode, Harold emerges from the guys' cabin and demands to know who made s'mores with his underwear. Duncan and Geoff laugh in glee at this question and Courtney recoils in disgust when Harold throws the underwear near where she is standing. Later, Geoff uses a fishing line to rip away Harold's underwear, to Harold's consternation. After the first challenge, Geoff and Duncan give Harold a glass of apple juice that Harold discovers is actually kitchen grease. After Courtney and Duncan sneak some food, Harold finds a happy face made of peanut butter smeared in his bed.

He is primarily a target of Duncan's pranks. But when someone really get on his nerves, he will find revenge. He was the reason why Courtney was voted off by switching the original votes with forged ones that mostly called for Courtney to be voted off in order to get back at Duncan (who had just then gotten romantically involved with her). He later sees Heather's breasts on accident during a challenge, which leads him failing the challenge and being eliminated. Unlike most, Harold was content with his loss (mainly due to being able to see bare breasts before he left) and reveals that he wrote a romantic haiku to LeShawna, revealing his crush on her. The two embrace in a kiss and he leaves the island.

At Playa Des Losers, Courtney is hunting him down after she learns about how she was eliminated. He asks Trent for food, which Trent concedes to, but Ezekiel considers him a "traitor." During the Total Drama Island special, LeShawna broke up with Harold, saying their relationship went too fast and the moment on the Dock of Shame was just a fleeting, emotional moment. Harold seems to have accepted the break up, though afterwards he promises he will win her over eventually and then rambles on in the Confessional stall about how they will possibly move in together (specifically in his mother's basement) when they are thirty years old. LeShawna so far seems unaware of his intentions. During the challenge to find the million dollar case, he befriended Heather after she opened up about her insecurities after being rendered alone like he currently was. It is debatable if an actual relationship will come from this, considering Harold is still determined to win over LeShawna (who hates Heather).

Total Drama Action
Harold's character has seen to change a bit this season. He's shown to be more talkative, more ready then ever to show off his "mad skills", and is considered to be the comic relief of the season. Harold also seems to have dropped some of his old habits such as saying "gosh." Throughout the season, Harold is shown still trying to win LeShawna over (though is tricked into eliminating her and breaks his heart). Before Geoff was eliminated, Harold shared a bunk bed with him. Harold's rivalry with Duncan plays a much bigger role in this season. Harold is constantly trying to prove his mad skills, but is constantly overshadowed by Duncan, as very few seem to notice him. In addition, Duncan continues to bully Harold out of anger of Courtney's elimination on Total Drama Island. As a result, the two are always going at it with each other, but have been able to put their differences aside when necessary. In certain occasions, the two have shown somewhat of a friendship towards each other (though neither will let go of their feud with the other). Interestingly (starting in Super Hero-Id) Harold starts to take over Owen's role of comic relief, including having his own gas gags.

Despite Harold's claims to have keen senses to allow him to know when someone is nearby, he is completely oblivious to Chef Hatchet being right behind him in Alien Resurr-eggtion and is the first one to be shot down. Harold seems to have a deluded view of his relationship with LeShawna, even claiming that she is undressing him with her eyes; meanwhile, LeShawna claims in the confessional (quite confidently) that they are not meant to be. Harold is recruited on Gwen's team, the Screaming Gaffers in Riot On Set. Though he attempts to sell himself by informing everyone of his expert knowledge of movie-making and movies in general, no one seems to care and Gwen only chose Harold if only to shut him up. He was the last castmate chosen for Gwen's team.

In Beach Blanket Bogus, Harold is shown to think quite highly of himself and his bottom. Though he is in alliance with Heather, Heather still has no interest in speaking with him. Though Harold frequently speaks highly of himself in his confessionals, he is often met with failure, though he proves to be an expert sandcastle-builder during the second part of the challenge and surprisingly takes a leadership-like role in the project. Unfortunately, none of this visibly impresses LeShawna. He is the one who informs Gwen that Trent became obsessed with the number nine ever since Trent became interested in her. Duncan kicks sand into Harold's face after their team wins the competition, saying it was because he actually had wild dancing moves, but this would only foreshadow worse incidents to come between the two.

As of 3:10 to Crazytown, Duncan has gone back to his ways of regularly torturing Harold like he did last season, but this time he has a reason for it: he found out that it was solely Harold who got Courtney eliminated from Total Drama Island. While Harold continues to be a great asset to his team and again helps them win the western challenge in this episode, he is extremely susceptible to Duncan's constant pranking, (Duncan landing on him in a bad position he says: "I think you broke my coccyx") which quickly gets LeShawna's attention. Though she has said that she and Harold were not meant to be, she is becoming angry at Duncan for picking on Harold.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Harold often complains about the prison challenge, and the people around him. After Gwen breaks a shovel over his back, he says that he is both scared and attracted to her, but quickly adds not to tell this to LeShawna, Heather, or Gwen. He, along with LeShawna, Heather, and Gwen herself voted Gwen out of the competition.

In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, LeShawna's liking of Harold becomes more apparent as she defends him from Duncan's antics. During the hospital challenge, Duncan pulls down Harold's pants and tries to stick a rectal thermometer in his mouth when he and all of the other castmates fall ill, and LeShawna sticks up for him both times. However, he refuses to join an alliance with her and Duncan, as he hates the latter bitterly. He is also the first character to reveal their last name: Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady the Fifth. He's very embarrassed about the 'Doris' part.

In Masters of Disasters, Harold reveals that he had to have his kidneys swapped because he had a rare kidney condition that had them in the wrong spots. Harold proves his worth by unlocking the hatch of the submarine during the second challenge, using the skills that he had picked up a "Picky Steve's Lock Picking Camp". This saved the entire cast from drowning during the challenge as the whole thing had gone horribly wrong. In addition, LeShawna still might have feelings for Harold, for when Owen was being sent to a hospital in the film lot, LeShawna snuggles with Harold, and when Harold says he has mad skills in unlocking codes LeShawna agrees with him.

In Full Metal Drama, Harold's rivalry with Duncan reaches its maximum point as the two believe the other is useless as a teammate. Though Harold tries hard to show his skills, the Gaffers choose to follow Duncan's planning instead. During the third challenge, Harold and Heather attempt to hold back a major gas bubble LeShawna is putting out in an attempt to keep their underground ditch hidden. LeShawna's bloated belly couldn't take the "air baby" filling up her "lovely" stomach, and she gasses up the foxhole. Harold blocks Duncan's way and orders him to admit that he is not completely useless (to which Duncan agrees in order to escape the gassed-up hole). The Grips then charge to capture the Gaffers' chest, Harold prepares for battle with his num-yos armed. Duncan then forces some gas out of LeShawna, creating a smoke screen and allowing Harold to swiftly knock out the opposing team and win the challenge. Duncan and Harold then admit each others' good skills. When Harold and Duncan open the prize, they find it to be empty.

In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, he starts to agree with Duncan and Heather about LeShawna, especially when in the Make-Up Confessional, he was seen saying LeShawna was only looking out for herself and stating how bad she was (even though her "badness" intrigued him). During this episode, Harold still gets much grief from Duncan and Heather, as seen by their constant uses of saying "Shut Up" or "Be Quiet" to him. During the bank vault challenge, Harold is shown to still have somewhat feelings for LeShawna. As LeShawna was the team member to be left in the vault, Duncan says that their team doesn't need her or the bank robbing equipment inside; as he and Heather leave, Harold said that it was a terrible idea to leave LeShawna, but is unable to convince the other Gaffers. Upon Courtney's return, Harold, ironically, doesn't find this as bad news considering he was the main person she didn't like last season, and she wasn't angry at him. Shockingly, throughout the rest of the challenges, he, the one who was most concerned, did not even ask about LeShawna any more; causing her to possibly remain in the vault until the next challenge. When the Gaffer's reward is shown ( "Chris Bucks") Harold revealed that he hates Chris's smile sometimes.

At the start of One Million Bucks B.C., Harold lost his glasses after taking a shower. He did not believe Duncan 's warning about the soap before tripping on it. While the guys were laughing Harold says he is comfortable in his own skin. During the first part of the challenge, Harold is chased by prehistoric beavers while Chris, Chef and Duncan watch. Duncan tripped Harold and the beavers took Harold away until LeShawna saved him. Then he is shown around a campfire with Heather, Duncan and LeShawna. LeShawna is holding him. In the second part of the challenge, Harold revealed that he has a fear of animatronic prehistoric beavers. Later he gets attacked by a prehistoric bird because Chris gave him an egg as a consolation prize. Harold and LeShawna tried to cook the egg in the end.

In Million Dollar Babies, Harold had to face Lindsay in the first part of the challenge for them doing the worst in the warm-ups. He was knocked out by her but won because he did great slow motion. Harold, along with everyone else, were both mad at LeShawna when she made rude comments about the other contestants while she was heading over to the spa with her cousin LeShaniqua from Courtney's PDA. Harold immediately forgives LeShawna when she made an apologetic cheer to everyone and votes Heather off along with Duncan to keep LeShawna safe.

By Dial M for Merger, Harold finally agrees to join the alliance with Duncan and LeShawna, as they help each other through the laser course. The tension between him and Duncan continued to rise as they insulted each other while trying to defuse their bombs. As of now it is unknown how the alliance will hold as LeShawna and himself aren't too fond of Courtney, unlike Duncan.

In Super Hero-ld, Duncan puts a burrito in Harold's pocket and kicks him. Justin later convinced Harold (and Duncan) to join in Justin's alliance. Harold also talks about his favorite superhero, Owl Man (possibly a parody to Batman or Night Owl). Harold comes up with his own superhero name, Captain Alberta and was in the lead during the obstacle course challenge, only to lose by Courtney. Harold refused to vote for LeShawna after Duncan and Justin convinced him to do it. He was also asked by Beth to vote for Duncan and by Courtney to vote for LeShawna respectively. In the end, Harold chose to vote for LeShawna and broke down in front of her after it was revealed that she got sent home. LeShawna tells Harold that he should do his best to remain in the show as she leaves. After LeShawna left, Duncan heads over to Harold and tells him that he has another burrito in his pocket and kicks him again. Harold wished that he should do well and Chris pushes him down as he was closing the show, causing Chris to break Harold's glasses.

Harold misses LeShawna in The Princess Pride. He won Duncan 's biggest burrito contest after creating a burrito in LeShawna's likeness. Harold was the "Eighth Dwarf" in the blindfolded Bridge crossing challenge. He dedicated his crossing to LeShawna and showed he can run blindfolded. Harold thinks Courtney's song was beautiful and asks for a copy. Harold says that it reminds him of LeShawna but LeShawna says if that song reminds Harold of her, she will have to kill him. During the princess saving challenge, Harold got the shortest sword and helped Justin take down Duncan. Justin later betrayed Harold and Harold was a little miffed. In the end, Harold did say good bye to Justin.

In Get a Clue, Harold is shown to enjoy being a detective and playing dramatic music. He set a trap, in Rube Goldberg fashion, in order to get a DNA sample from Duncan, which ended up failing, causing him to get a sample from Beth instead. Harold also performs CPR on Chris, revealing that he is a trained paramedic. Later in the challenge, Harold teams up with Courtney to try to stop the train, but they do not end up being able to do so. Instead, Courtney is discovered to be the "murderer" and Harold turns on her at the last minute.

In Rock n' Rule, he is happy that Owen has returned, he plays the guitar rather well, so well, that is catches fire due to his fast fingers. In the next part of the challenge, Duncan calls him Doris and he breaks all of the cardboard cutouts, and has a breakdown when finished, Chris later comments saying "If that's not a cry for help, I don't know what is.". In the part where the contestants have to trash a hotel room, Harold does very badly, attempting to break a telephone, but failing. He later voted for Duncan to be voted off along with Beth and Lindsay, However there plan failed when Lindsay accidentally voted herself off.

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Harold, while going to sleep, realizes that he is covered in snails. He finds one that (in Harold's Mind, looks like LeShawna) and names it LeShawna Jr.. Duncan trains Harold throughout the first part of the challenge, but Harold struggles with Duncan's unusual methods. It is during this training when we find out that Harold has a "killer left-hook" when he throws his fist through a punching-bag and grasps Duncan's throat after Duncan claims to have kissed LeShawna to motivate Harold into punching the bag harder during the training. Harold is then up against Beth when the two have to fight in robot costumes. When Harold and Duncan win, the two must climb a steep mountain. He later shows signs of friendship to Duncan, but is reminded by Owen that he should try to win. Owen reminded him by saying that LeShawna Jr. was telling him something. He surprisingly shows a tough side, and once Duncan says that LeShawna is similar to a freight train, Harold throws Duncan's glass of tea in his eyes and punches him in the face. Harold wins the episode's reward. At the end, Harold lets LeShawna Jr. into the wild, and was crying like crazy as LeShawna Jr. was going away.

In 2008: A Space Owen, Harold pulls his own prank on Duncan by filling his mattress with rocks. Through out the episode, Harold winds up with Duncan's pet tarantula, Scruffy, on him. Eventually he squashes Scruffy by accident during the third challenge, which Duncan gets mad at. He was on the Vomit Comet for the least amount of time though, for about five seconds. Beth also starts to think that Harold likes her and she breaks up with Brady to start a relationship with Harold. Harold says he couldn't date Beth because it wouldn't be fair to Heather or LeShawna, hinting that he still likes them. Beth later kisses Harold (while covered in vomit) and he faints. Harold later does calculations and started to believe Owen was a cheater. Harold is later voted off by Owen to cover his tracks and by Duncan for squashing Scruffy (Courtney may have also voted for him.) He was taken away right before he got the chance to count Owen out as a cheater. He did however get to pants Duncan before he left, to which Duncan responded, that he "probably had that coming".

In The Aftermath: IV, Harold suggests a contortionist challenge to break the tie. Beth and Duncan go along with it but both end up tying again. Harold's "question" consisted of having the two finalists draw a fictional animal. He like Beth's Haricorn with wings but was impressed with Duncan's samurai sword/fighter plane drawing.

Audition tape
In his audition tape, Harold shows everyone his scout badges and then he plays his keyboard, which promptly falls over. The audition ends in darkness with Harold's wheezing in the background.

Camp TV
Like many other characters, Harold was originally included in Total Drama Island's prototype version, Camp TV. He seemed to be a member of a trio that consisted of himself, Cody and Beth. He has a small role in the promo when he asks where his ant farm is, only to say "Never mind" once Lindsay is running off and screaming while being covered by the ants. Harold's voice is much deeper, comical, and rather like Barney Rubble's from The Flintstones. Interestingly, the fact that he owns an ant farm is carried over into Total Drama Island. Harold's design doesn't differ from his current appearance today. The only differences in his appearance is that his shirt says "Middle Earth Rocks" on it instead of the hamburger picture, his pink undershirt loosely hung out from the bottom of his blue shirt and he had a pink collar instead of the small green turtle neck.

Trivia

 * Harold made an enemy in both Courtney and Duncan after rigging the votes to eliminate her in Basic Straining.
 * Harold (along with Gwen, Heather, Duncan, and LeShawna) is the only character who played a significant role in winning challenges and/or immunity for himself or his team more than twice (in Dodgebrawl, Not Quite Famous, Masters of Disasters and Full Metal Drama).

 * Harold seems to know some form of martial arts, having performed several poses thereof throughout Total Drama Island, although during said season, he appears mostly inept at it. He apparently has some kind of strength at it, though, as shown in Monster Cash (he knocks out Trent with a karate chop, though he may have just hit him in a vital spot or could have been a one-time gag). He has also shown proficiency with a few odd weapons, such as nunchucks and yo-yos, even having taken out four of the Killer Grips with them, albeit with an assist from Duncan (and LeShawna's gas).
 * Harold owns a red ant farm, which was dumped into Heather's bed in Not Quite Famous by Gwen and is mentioned in the promo.
 * Harold was the first one shown to bring his luggage to the Boat of Losers along with him.
 * Harold is an obvious knockoff of Napoleon Dynamite, though he more closely resembles Kip (from the same movie) in physical appearances. He also shares a similar speech pattern with the titular character of said movie.
 * It is noteworthy that Kip gets married to a woman named LaFawnduh at the end of the movie; this parallels Harold's currently unrequited love for LeShawna (possibly implying that they will get back together; though this might more explain why he gained a crush on her in the first place as she is sometimes called LaFawnduh by Lindsay).
 * In Super Hero-ld when Duncan crushed the burrito in Harold's pocket, that could have been a reference (or parody) of when Napoleon gets kicked in the pocket, with the tater tots in his pocket.

 * Harold seems to have some of the most relationships in the series:
 * He has a friend-lover relationship with LeShawna.
 * He sometimes feels attracted to Heather.
 * He admitted in The Chefshank Redemption that he was attracted to Gwen.
 * Beth developed a crush on him in 2008: A Space Owen.
 * Harold kissed or was kissed by a female competitor in both episodes where he was eliminated.
 * Harold is one of the few competitors that competes for all three seasons in the Total Drama Series.
 * In 2008: A Space Owen, it is revealed that Harold loves a good cat fight, but with real cats who wear tiny boxing cloves.
 * Harold reveals to have watched Race to Save Space 3 in 2008: A Space Owen.
 * Both times he was eliminated, Harold left with a secret: In X-treme Torture, he left with only himself knowing that he had seen Heather's breasts (at least, initially), as well as being the only one who knew the secret behind Courtney's elimination in the previous episode. In 2008: A Space Owen, he left with the knowledge that Owen was a mole, also something that only he knew, although he contacted Courtney and the others in the next episode.
 * All of the girls that have some sort of relationship with Harold (whether one-sided or an actual relationship) were on the Screaming Gophers in Total Drama Island.
 * Harold is the last Screaming Gaffer to be voted off.
 * Harold is also the last Screaming Gaffer to be voted off overall.
 * Harold, along with Duncan and Beth, is one of the three people to be in every episode of Total Drama Action, Ironically, not all of the final four were seen in every episode.
 * Harold is one of the few contestants (the other being Gwen) to mention their rank in the competition. Harold questions his fifth place in Total Drama Action when he is voted off.
 * Harold has been involved in more relationships than any other character (even though a majority are one-sided, usually on his side): The LeShawna-Harold Relationship, the Heather-Harold Relationship, the Gwen-Harold Friendship, and the Beth-Harold Relationship.
 * Harold and Courtney have both been eliminated one after the other in both seasons.
 * Harold's Camp TV shirt says "Middle Earth Rocks". Middle Earth is a fictional land from J.R.R Tolken's Lord of the Rings, meaning that Harold might be (Or might have been in Camp TV) a fan of the series.
