Everyone and Dave

This article focuses on the interaction between Everyone and Dave.

Overview
While usually nice to others on the surface, Dave is very intolerant of the weird antics of his team, with the exception of Sky and Shawn. He is easily infuriated and will quite easily snap at others, and will vote off contestants he's annoyed at without remorse. He also isn't a team player and will always be the one to express doubt over a time plan, and is reluctant to participate in challenges due to his hypochondria.

Amy
In Twinning Isn't Everything, Amy (along with Samey) ambush Dave from behind a bush and bombard him with several balloons, however he manages to evade all of Amy's shots, while Samey successfully hits him. She grins evilly as Dave leaves, feverishly scratching himself due to being covered in itching powder. In A Blast from the Past, when a muck covered Amy returns to the challenge, Dave is shown in the confessional pondering over which twin had actually left.

Beardo
Throughout So, Uh This Is My Team? Dave is constantly irritated by the funny sounds that Beardo makes, and often tells him to stop while covering his ears. He was confused when Beardo runs in slow motion, and tells him to stop making construction noises. He most likely voted him off at the end, and was satisfied with his elimination, saying: "Game over."

Chris
In Twinning Isn't Everything, Chris thanks Dave for hitting Topher, as he was annoyed by him. When Dave delights in how well he performed, Chris points out he's out of balloons and advises him to run.

In Hurl and Go Seek, after Dave gets humiliatingly rejected by Sky in front of everyone, Chris approaches and seemingly attempts to comfort him, however he ends up making it worse by reminding Dave of all the reasons that made him so upset. At the end of the episode, Dave had campaigned to get himself eliminated, including giving out badges (to which Chris received one and loved it). As he is about to be fired from the Cannon of Shame, Chris gives him one last chance to make amends with his love. When Dave calls out to Sky only to find she's isn't there, he asks Chris to fire the cannon.

In Lies, Cries and One Big Prize, when Dave is selected by Sky as her helper, Chris goes out of his way to inform Dave how reluctant Sky was in choosing him, stomping on his heart yet again. After Sky restores Dave's faith in her by kissing him, Chris once again shatter their relationship, by showing Dave clips from Sky's audition, revealing she had a boyfriend.

Ella
Ella is immensely nice to Dave just as she is to everyone. Dave on the other hand views her as one of the many weird members on his team, and is constantly annoyed by her singing. However he seems more tolerant of Ella than other members, and doesn't openly criticize her or try to hurt her feelings. Eventually Ella becomes attracted to Dave after he treats her nicely, however he doesn't return her affection and unknowingly broke her heart.

Jasmine
In A Blast from the Past, Jasmine is so concerned about Shawn that she is unable to participate properly in the challenge, and is caught completely off guard when Dave swings at her with a jousting stick and knocks her into the lake. In Lies, Cries and One Big Prize, Dave compliments Jasmine's dream to open up a flower shop/training facility, but it's revealed in the confessional that he is lying to get on her good side. The two then team up to get revenge on their love interests, and are made by Chris to be the finalists' hinderers. Jasmine agrees with Dave in being cruel, commenting "The way they treated us." When Jasmine shows concern for Shawn's safety, Dave yells "who cares? We won!"

Leonard
During Leonard's short time on the show, Dave is constantly annoyed by his weird antics of attempting to cast spells.

In So, Uh This Is My Team?, while everyone is still on the zeppelin, Dave was disturbed by Leonard when he attempted to cast a spell to ward off evil. Dave was also annoyed when Leonard wanted to construct a Wizard's tower. At the end of the episode it was clear that Dave desired to vote for either Leonard or Beardo. In I Love You, Grease Pig!, Dave is unimpressed by Leonard's fictional story, he also blames him for their team not having proper shelter. At the start of the challenge when Sugar is complimenting Leonard as a wizard, he asks his team to leave "fiction" out, which annoys Leonard. In the final part of the challenge Dave finally loses his temper when Leonard attempts to levitate the pig over a wall. Leonard states the spell isn't working because someone isn't believing in him, to which Dave angrily retorts it's him. Dave votes Leonard off at the end of the episode.

Max
In So, Uh This Is My Team?, while they are on the zeppelin Dave found Max to be weird when he overheard the latter's conversation with Sky. In I Love You, Grease Pig!, Max and Dave face off in the challenge, and Max delights when the newly-turned-evil grease pig flings grease onto Dave. He says to Dave: "That's what you get when you're up against evil's incarnate."

Rodney
In Twinning Isn't Everything, while Rodney is depressed at his inability to properly breakup with Amy, Dave takes the opportunity and hits him.

Samey
In Twinning Isn't Everything, Samey (along with Amy) ambush Dave from behind a bush and bombard him with several balloons, however only Samey manages to hit him. In A Blast from the Past, when a muck covered Amy returns to the challenge, Dave appears in the confessional and ponders over which twin had actually left.

Shawn
Overall the two of them appear to be good friends. Unlike most members of his team, Dave does not view Shawn as being weird or annoying, and overtime he comes to respect his skills. Likewise Shawn is nice to Dave, just as he is with everyone else. Eventually the two come to trust each other enough to counsel and help each other out with their relationships. However Dave is unintentionally responsible for causing a strain on Shawn's relationship with Jasmine, and Shawn's advice for Dave is taken the wrong way and he resultingly ruins his relationship with Sky. Their friendship was apparently over during the finale as Dave tries his best to make sure both Shawn and Sky do not win the million dollars after his mind snapped upon finding out that Sky already has a boyfriend.

Sky
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.

Sugar
Dave is constantly disgusted by Sugar's gross habits of eating and belching, as well as being afraid of her when she becomes violent. Later on Sugar observes Dave budding relationship with Sky, and tries quite hard to break them apart due to viewing them as a threat. She succeeds in doing so.

In I Love You, Grease Pig! when Dave suggests Sky take the last leg instead of Leonard, Sugar angrily confronts him and yells "Wizard!" Intimidated Dave complies with her wishes. In A Blast from the Past, Dave and Sky gasp in shock when a bear emerges to attack Ella, but Sugar cheers, causing Dave and Sky to look back at her.

In Mo Monkey Mo Problems, during a conversation with Sky, Sugar tells her (as part of a stint to mess with her mind) that Dave was a womanizer who was taking advantage of every girl, and that didn't truly like Sky. During the challenge, Dave entrusts Sugar with a banana (that was supposed to be for the monkey), but is dismayed when he discovers Sugar has eaten it. When Dave is captured by the bear, Sugar feigns sympathy for Dave in order to try and get Ella to sing (so she would be disqualified by Chris), and refers to Dave as "poor Dave". Later when they succeed in bringing the bear to Chris, but the coin they were supposed to obtain was inside the monkey, inside the bear. Sugar uses the Heimlich maneuver to make the bear regurgitate the contents of it's stomach, which Dave and the rest of the team are disgusted by. Dave along with the rest of the team cheer when Sugar successfully throws the coin into the vending machine.

In This Is The Pits!, Sugar is unhappy with Dave and Sky's budding relationship and continuously tries to break them apart whenever they get affectionate. She offers to form and alliance with Shawn to vote them off, but he declines. When Dave and Sky are sharing some berries, and Dave offers to wipe berry juice off her face, Sugar barges in and wipes it off Sky's face using her spit. When Sky falls on top of Dave and they accidentally kiss, Sugar regurgitates the berries (which she had gouged earlier), which splatter onto Dave and makes him freak out. In the cave Dave and Sky attempt to kiss again, but Sugar gets between them again by belching loudly, causing a swarm of bats to be attracted. Dave is also extremely disgusted when Sugar eats a glow slug and becomes wide eyed when her tummy glows. Late in the challenge, Dave along with the rest of Waneyihtam Maskwak are pushed into the pool by Sugar.

In Three Zones and A Baby, Sugar notices Dave is feeling depressed at the beginning of the episode. She asks him why he was, before going into a lengthy recital of how he is separated from Sky. When Dave states that was the reason, she slaps him on the back whilst saying "Cheer up Saddy". Later in the challenge, Sugar along with Shawn are forced to carry a paralyzed Dave after he gets bitten by a rattlesnake.

In Hurl and Go Seek, when Sugar is sent to go tag the other contestants, she almost immediately finds Dave's shoe (due to it being thrown at her by Max). Dave who happens to be perched up in a tree branch unenthusiastically asks for it back (still depressed over being turned down by Sky). She states she will and would toss it to him, however she intentionally throws it extremely hard and knocks him off the branch before tagging him. Dave then joins her as he is now her helper, but is still dejected over Sky's rejection. Sugar sees an opportunity to exploit this and makes him jealous that Sky would win the million dollars when he wouldn't. Newly motivated Dave reveals to Sugar where he had last seen Sky.

Topher
In Twinning Isn't Everything, while Topher is annoying Chris, Dave seizes the opportunity to take him out. In A Blast from the Past, Topher and Dave are paired together for the challenge, with Dave volunteering to go when he finds out it's Topher. He does so due to reasoning they should save Sky for a tougher opponent (indicating he thinks Topher is weak). Both pick up jousting sticks and charge at each other while screaming with their eyes shut, however they pass right by each other without making contact.
