Amy and Samey

This article focuses on the interaction between Amy and Samey.

Overview
Amy and Samey are twin sisters and are part of their school's cheerleading team. They are placed on Pimâpotew Kinosewak in the second half of the fifth season of the series. To distinguish between the two, Amy has a mole under her right eye. Despite being twins, their personalities are completely opposite with Amy being the mean sister and is usually seen as grumpy while Samey is the nice sister who is naive but friendly. Being the older twin, Amy constantly picks on her sister, and Amy often uses Samey's naivety for her own selfish purposes, and is immensely cruel to her. Amy forces Samey to do her every bidding, in fact Samey once tells Jasmine that Amy doesn't treat her well enough to even be her servant. In addition, Amy calls her sister "Samey" instead of "Sammy" to represent the fact that she is the "Second Amy" in order to further look down on her sister. Tired of living under the shadow of her older sister, Samey auditioned for Total Drama in order to get as far away from her sister as she could only to find out that Amy too had auditioned for the show. Throughout their stay on Pahkitew Island, Amy continues to torment Samey in every way; from making her to do all the work while taking the credit, to calling her useless. Eventually, after years of being patient with her older sister, Samey decides to stand up for herself against Amy, but Amy, being a very manipulative person, feigns innocence in front of their team and pretended to be the victim. Things culminated between the two when Amy is able to convince her team to vote off Samey for causing their team to lose in Twinning Isn't Everything. However, Samey wouldn't go down without a fight and managed to switch places with her sister, leading Amy to be eliminated in her place instead. Samey continue to pretend to be her sister for a while until a vengeful Amy returns and attack her sister while confessing their true feelings for each other. In the end, to prevent anymore complications or one of them pretending to be the other, Chris made the both of them take the Cannon of Shame.

Audition tapes
During her audition, Samey denies having a sister until she heard Amy yelling at her, forcing her to end her audition. In Amy's own audition, she mention that she knows of her sister's audition and described it as pathetic and she would be a better choice for the show instead of Samey since she was born earlier than her and ever since then, Samey has been lesser than her.

Opening Sequence
While Samey is plucking berries in the intro, Amy dunked an entire bucket of berries on her sister's head.

So, Uh This Is My Team?
On their way to Pahkitew Island, Amy was annoyed with the other contestants and kept changing seats with Samey who simply comply to her sister's orders. When everyone falls out of the zeppelin Amy opens up her parachute, and Samey clings on to Amy's leg. However Amy states that she wouldn't miss her before kicking Samey off. However Samey also opens a parachute, to which an annoyed Amy states that she could live. Once Samey landed on the island, Amy abruptly lands on top of her, and sarcastically apologises. When Samey realizes Scarlett's idea, and is about to suggest using the wheel barrow, Amy talks over her and claims the idea as her own. Later Amy uses Samey as a human shield against the tennis balls and is annoyed when she screams in pain.

I Love You, Grease Pig!
After Jasmine wakes up to look for food, and she accepts Amy's offer to help. She pushes her sister (still in her sleep wear) out of the shelter and forces her to go, and scolds her to not to be lazy like when she was born. In the confessional, Amy reveals that Samey was born seventeen minutes after her and proclaims that she would had left the operating room without her if she could walk at the time. Even so, Amy takes all the credit and shut Samey up when she tries to tell their team that it was she who did all the work. For the challenge, Amy suggest she and Samey should partnered up. While Samey believes that her sister trusted her enough to work with her, Amy reveals that should Samey team up with anyone else, she would surely slow them down, much to Samey's embarrassment. When it is their turn, Samey is the one had to pull the pig while Amy commands her. When Amy once again scolds her for being useless, Samey gives her a death glare. In the confessional, Samey admits that her patience with her sister is reaching its limit and that she is about to curse at her. Once they completed the course, Amy complains about being "sweaty and disgusting" like Samey. Samey apologizes, but points out Amy was the one who scared the pig. However, Amy snaps at Samey for daring to put the blame on her. Samey once again submits to her sister and takes responsibility.

Twinning Isn't Everything
The conflict between the two sisters finally reaches its boiling point in this episode. With encouragement from Jasmine, Samey finally musters the courage to stand up for herself, and has an angry outburst at Amy in front of her team. However, Amy feigns innocence and tricks the team into thinking Samey is the mean one, making it seem as though Samey was being insulting towards a family member. She also once again took credit for Samey's actions. Later, Amy and Samey find Dave and throw their balloons at him. Both of Amy's shots missed while Samey got him on the first try. Amy once again tries to take credit; however, Jasmine knew that Samey was the one who got Dave out, much to Amy's rage. In the confessional, Amy cannot comprehend why someone else would side with Samey, and says Samey was just a "Spare me", and liking the name vows to make Samey legally change her name to that after they returned home. When the trio finds Shawn's hiding spot, Jasmine wants Samey to take the shot; however Samey and Amy fight over the balloon while Jasmine tries to intervene in Samey's favor, causing it to pop, spilling paint all over the trio. Amy is furious over this and goes to convince all the other team members that Samey was responsible for their loss. In the confessional, Samey recalls that whatever she has, Amy will want and will steal from her to get it: Samey uses this fact to trick Amy into eating the poisonous manchineel fruit prior to the elimination ceremony. At the elimination ceremony, Amy and Samey are in the bottom two. As Amy finishes eating the poisonous fruit, her cheeks swell up and her throat becomes sore. When Samey was announced as the eliminated player, she poses as Amy and acts as her, successfully tricking everyone into thinking she is Amy, and Amy was her. Amy attempts to protest in vain, but is no longer able to speak audible words due to her swollen throat. Chris fires Amy out of the Cannon of Shame, feeling as though her mumblings sounded important, but not caring enough to find out. Samey then states in the confessional that Amy had that coming for years.

I Love You, I Love You Knots
Samey now pretends to be Amy, and with the help of Jasmine adopts her mean guise, even putting a spot on her face to imitate Amy's beauty mole. Throughout the episode her teammates continue to criticize her (Samey), as they all believe that she is Amy and Samey is the mean one. This causes her to get continually frustrated. In the challenge, as part of a truth, Samey is asked who she hates the most, to which she reluctantly states is Amy. This confuses her team, as it seems as though she hated herself. However she is once again saved by Jasmine.

A Blast from the Past
Amy returns to the island, seeking revenge on Samey. Due to traveling under the lake she becomes covered in muck and vegetation, which causes Shawn to mistake her for a zombie and leads him to believe a zombie apocalypse has begun. During the challenge Samey is annoyed when her team cheers for "Amy", and she states it's difficult to be motivated when she's called by the name of someone she hates. In the final part of the challenge, Amy emerges from the water to expose the truth about Samey. The two of them engage in a fight and both brutally insult each other, however due their struggle gives Sugar the chance to complete the challenge, and costs their team the win. Upon discovering this Amy lunges at Samey and both fall into the water. At the elimination ceremony their team elect to "eliminate Amy" (even if it was Samey posing as Amy), which ultimately meant that both twins were technically eliminated and were forced to leave the island together.
