Gwen and Zoey

This article focuses on the interaction between Gwen and Zoey.

Overview
Originally, Gwen and Zoey did not have much interaction with each other as they debut on different seasons. In Total Drama All-Stars, they are placed on different teams and did not interact early on. After the merge, the two began to form a bond and often joke about the upcoming challenges they are about to face. Eventually, the bond becomes so strong that when Gwen is eliminated, she wants Zoey to win the game.

Zeek And Ye Shall Find
As the contestants tries to find a way into the mines, Gwen is partnered with Zoey, Cameron and Mike since her friend, Courtney wanted to team up with her new boyfriend instead while Alejandro wanted to work alone. When the four of them discovers several holes nearby, Gwen stepped on a loose ground and fell deep into the mines. Zoey quickly follows in order to save Gwen, knowing that Gwen has a fear of being buried alive. After a while wandering alone in the dark without a flashlight, Gwen was found by Zoey who she then proceeds to hug and thank several times. Zoey then manage to help her to calm down using a unique technique involving Gwen "blowing a candle" after taking in a deep breath. In the confessional, Gwen commented how good Zoey was. As the two girls continue their search for Chris, Ezekiel captures Zoey when Gwen had her back turned, causing her to suffer a nervous breakdown again.

The Obsta-Kill Kourse
Zoey discusses with Gwen about voting off Alejandro for what he allegedly did to Cameron in the previous episode. Knowing his history of manipulation as well to avenge her friend's elimination, Gwen agrees with Zoey. They then joked on how the challenge would not be underground like the previous episode. During the rope climbing challenge, Zoey tells Gwen that the rope that she is climbing is made from dog hair and the two shared a laugh. Their friendship, however, causes a paranoid Courtney to believe that they are forming an alliance and that Zoey had told Gwen about her kissing both Cameron and Scott in the previous episode.

Sundae Muddy Sundae
After Gwen returns from exile, Zoey greets her and ask her about her night on Boney Island to which she sarcastically replies about how she spend the entire night sleeping on a tree after running away from aa Wooly Beaver. The bond between the two girls began to fade in this episode as Courtney and Mike (Mal in reality) tried to turn the both of them on each other; the former tells Gwen that Zoey is not as nice as she seems to be while the latter claims that Gwen is in an alliance with Courtney and Scott and that they will be to powerful for the both of them to take down without Cameron. However, when Courtney attempts to sweet talk Zoey into forming an alliance with her, Zoey refuses as she knows of Courtney's future attempt to betray and eliminate Gwen (who had given up much to repair their friendship) in order to win the season. Gwen also refuses to help Courtney to vote for Zoey when she attempts to apologize to her (although she states that she is willing to try and convince Zoey to vote off Scott with her).

The Bold and the Booty-ful
It was hinted that Zoey was planning to take Gwen to the final two with her, as the only remaining contestants left other than them are Scott (whom Zoey despises) and Mike (whom she just found out was Mal via a DVD) as she mention that she wanted to have a "friendship" finale. However, the plan had changed as Gwen was eliminated by Chris for ruining his painting, much to Zoey's surprise and disappointment. Before she takes the Flush of Shame, Gwen wishes Zoey good luck and says that she wants her to win the game. Zoey thanks her and replies that she hopes the next time they are competing again, they are on the same team.

The Final Wreck-ening
Gwen and Cameron were selected to be Zoey's helpers after she shot the balloons that they are in. Gwen is thrilled to help Zoey. They work together to paddle to the other side of the acid pool using Cameron's bubble. Gwen, Zoey, and Cameron continuously work together to win the game for Zoey.
