Josee

Josee was a contestant and one of the main antagonists of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race as a member of with Jacques.

Personality
Josee is a Canadian figure skater whose dream was to win gold at the Olympics. When she finally got the chance, she was dropped by her partner Jacques on The ice and the two became national embarrassments. They are conniving performers who signed up for the show to prove that they are still winners, and will do whatever it takes to guarantee a victory all while flashing a show-ready smile.

Josee is obsessed with gold and coming in first place. Even though she smiles all the time, she is shown to be very impatient as well as short-tempered and aggressive when things do not go her way. As the competition progresses, she and Jacques no longer try to hide their true nature and they become more ruthless, even willing to cheat, sabotage and even betray other teams to come in first. She is also known to be superstitious, as she carried around a lucky rabbit's foot until losing it in Transylvania, which she replaced with a piece of volcanic rock shaped like a trophy in Hawaii, unintentionally cursing them.

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race
Josee and Jacques debut in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1. Josee explains that they are ice dancers who have done well everywhere except the Olympics due to an incident where Jacques dropped her on her head during one of their performances. They first choose to ride the elevator but later switch to climbing the stairs. Being one of the first teams to arrive at the top, they are among the teams on the first flight to Morocco. They maintain their lead in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 2, being the first team to pick out their spices and ride their camels to their next destination. Josee is the one to drink the stew and conveniently does so. They race against the police cadets to the Chill Zone. Not looking where he is going, Jacques ends up running into a tree, allowing the Cadets to overtake them and secure second place. Josee is devastated to find out that they placed third, and throws a violent tantrum in the interview room.

In French is an Eiffel Language, Jacques has no trouble at all when drawing a caricature of Josee. The ice dancers are then able to browse their way through the catacombs and end up in the top two with the Cadets. Both the teams find the cheese rafts at the same time and they begin to develop a rivalry as they race one another to the Chill Zone. Jacques forgets to grab the oars which results in the ice dancers having to paddle with their feet. Despite their efforts, the Police Cadets beat them, and they come in second place.

In Mediterranean Homesick Blues, Jacques and Josee are among the teams that make it onto the first train. Josee is the one to retrieve the tip from the shark and does so with grace with Jacques complimenting her technique. and they finish first due to the Father and Son's penalty. In Bjorken Telephone, they are once again first on the bus and finish the complete the Icelandic speaking phrase with ease. They chose the Fossil challenge, as it involves traveling through the icy interior of the cave which they have no problem with, and end up placing third.

In Brazilian Pain Forest, the Ice Dancers are annoyed by not making it first in Iceland and are determined to win this leg. The delay of their flight makes Josee irritated and she takes her anger out on Jacques. Unluckily for them, they are unable to find a clue in the coconuts after numerous tries and try to steal the clue from Father & Son instead but they are not successful. They waste no time at all during the costume creating challenge due to having made them before the race and finish in first place.

In A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket, Jacques and Josee are annoyed at losing their massive lead when they have to wait for several teams to get on the same bus with them, which results in Josee having another tantrum. On their way to the castle, Josee plays dirty and pushes Sanders down the hill. An angered MacArthur tackles the Ice Dancers because of this which puts both teams behind the others as Josee and MacArthur fight in the mud. Once they begin the challenge, Josee has to push Jacques in a coffin and is intentionally very rough wanting to get this done before the police cadets. When Jacques complains about being bruised, Josee is eager to remind him how it was like she bruised her after the incident at the Olympics. She has no problem with the gymnastics challenge, thanks to her experience from ice dancing and they end up finishing first again.

In Hawaiian Honeyruin, Josee and Jacques drive the first carriage with the Sisters and the Reality TV Pros, During the carriage ride, Josee loses her lucky rabbit's foot which devastates her when she realize that she can't find it. She instead replaces it with a new good luck charm, a lava rock shaped like a trophy that she found on the beach. She ignores the warnings of a local old man, telling her it is cursed, and takes it with her. The ice dancers then race both the surfers and best friends to the Chill Zone but they fall behind due to Jacques tripping on a rock and end up in third place.

In Hello and Dubai, Jacques and Josee are mad that they earned bronze because of it being their least favourite colour last episode, and are angered when they are not allowed to enter the luxurious first class. They chose the Serve challenge, in which Jacques has no trouble at all but Josee fails due to a seagull. Because of the time it would take before they got a turn, they switch to the Squeegee challenge and quickly finish it but the Reality TV Pros and sisters are quicker. They chck in at fourth place and Josee has a massive tantrum due to not making the podium for the first time in the race. Their bad luck continues in New Beijinging when Jacques's clumsy behaviour results in them having to redo the first challenge much to the anger of Josee. A scorpion finds its way onto Jacques and Josee uses the opportunity to injure him so that he would not be able to taste what he was eating. Due to having problems finding the Chill Zone, they come in fourth yet again.

The ice dancers do not start off well in I Love Ridonc & Roll due to having to wear their polyster clothes in the sauna which exhausts them due to the heat. Jacques initially fails during the air guitar challenge and gets electrocuted but manages to complete the challenge after seeing Spud do it. The Goths tell them their lava rock is cursed and that they need to go back to Hawaii to break the curse.

In My Way or Zimbabwe, Josee and Jacques fly to Hawaii instead of Zimbabwe, to break their curse. They make a ceremony in Hawaii and go back to Zimbabwe, starting the race at last place. They try to complete the challenges as quick as possible and race to the Chill Zone against Dwayne who is being chased by a rhino. The rhino runs them over and throws Dwayne onto the carpet of the Chill Zone, making them finish in last. They express sadness at being eliminated, only for Don to declare it is a non-elimination round and that they were still in.

The ice dancers luck turns around in Shawshank Ridonc-tion when they decided to up their game and their costumes. Being the first team to reach the Don-Box, they acquire a boomerang. Josee begins panicking while inside the jail cell due to her claustrophobia and in an extreme burst of strength, manages to find a way out. Josee tricks MacArthur into praising her in exchange for helping the cadets but they betray the so-called alliance. The ice dancers and police cadets manage to reach the Don Box at much the same time and end up boomeranging one another, resulting in them being tied for last place. MacArthur forces them into a temporary alliance to break out of the jail cell. It is a race to the finish line as both teams work on building their rafts. While riding the raft, Josee uses an oar to push the cadets into the water, securing the ice dancer's safety for the episode.

After having trouble with the challenge, Josee tries to find new ways to sabotage the police cadets in Down and Outback. She uses Ennui's makeup to disguise one of the bunnies as an albino whick tricks MacArthur into chasing after it. Josee then convinces Brody that MacArthur needs his help, resulting in Geoff having to chase after him and the ice dancer's stealing the surfer's bunnies in the process. They then glide their way to the finish line and are the first to reach the Chill Zone, getting first place.

The ice dancers continue their winning streak in Maori or Less. They are one of the teams to board the first train which gains them an early lead. This lead is extended even further when they manage to perform the traditional Maori dance with no problem at all, believing it to be an easier version of ice dancing. They check in at the Chill Zone long before the other teams or Don arrive. The conflict of the ice dancers and the police cadets continues in Little Bull on the Prairie where both teams drive one another's vehicles off a cliff. After arriving at the ranch, the ice dancers do not do any better because of their weak stomachs being unable to tolerate the bean stew. Josee is irritated by Jacques's inability to ride the bull but he manages to do so on his second try.

Not doing well in the challenge themselves, the ice dancers try to sabotage the friendship between the surfers in Lord of the Ring Toss by making Geoff believe that Brody thinks he is the weaklink of the team. This plan backfires when Brody assures Geoff that this is not so and they reconcile, getting them first place which angers Josee. Following this episode, the ice dancers are angry that their sabotage did not go as planned and try to make up for it in Got Venom. Jacques does not do well in the challenge due to his clumsiness and gets too close to the komodo dragon several times. Josee suggests targetting the goths by making them believe that they have a concern for the safety of Loki but they dismiss this fact, believing that Loki can handle himself. The ice dancers then end up taking some of the venom the goths had collected. They then find the branded mat and get second place, which angers both of them due to having lost to the goths.

This conflict with the goths continus in Dude Buggies when Josee tries several times to sabotage them yet again but failing in the process. Both teams choose to do the magic show, although Josee tries and fails several times. After losing a large amount of time, the ice dancers switch to the dune buggies instead. While initially not being successful, Josee manages to capture all three flags on her second try and arrive shortly before the last place team. The ice dancers then find the goth's weakness in the form of Loki in El Bunny Supremo and kidnap him. Loki then manages to escape while they are riding their burros and chases them away, losing the ice dancers sometime. The ice dancers then get a ten minute penalty when they arrive without the burros but still manage to get second place, only losing to the police cadets.

Jacques and Josee celebrate their success in eliminating the goths during Ca-Noodling but this happiness is shortlived when they come to know that they have to work with the police cadets during the super-team challenge. Josee and MacArthur bicker until Sanders convinces them to work together in order to beat the other team which leads to them forming a truce for sabotage. Much to the surprise of the others, Jacques is the one who catches the branded catfish which sends all three teams to the Chill Zone, despite having a dislike towards fish. They then form an alliance with the daters and the police cadets although secretly plan to ditch them both when the time comes.

The ice dancers continue this alliance in How Deep is Your Love. Unbeknowest to them, they also sabotage the police cadets by loosing the bolts of their vehicle and "accidentally" getting MacArthur's tongue stuck to a trash can. The ice dancers do not fare well in the challenge due to Josee's claustrophobia. Despite Jacques trying to convince her to stay calm in order to go into the cave, this does not work out and Josee ends up sabotaging one of the other teams and stealing their ball instead. They get a thirty minute penalty for this but still manage to arrive in first place. Following this, they try to convince the sisters to help them sabotage the daters in Darjeel With It using it as a trick to sabotage them instead. They do not feel satisfied with being in the first car of the train and deal with this by undoing the latch to the other train cars meaning that the other teams had to end up walking to the Chill Zone. It is only due to the daters stopping to reconcile that the ice dancers manage to stay in the race.

They continue on in Last Tango in Buenos Aires in which they show exceptional skill in performing the tango much to the jealousy of the other teams. They use this lead to sabotage the sisters by rubbing oil over their emu making it harder to catch. This plan then backfires when the polyster of their costumes is unable to absorb this substance which makes it harder for them to catch their emu. Jacques overcomes this by greasing his hair in order for them to complete the challenge which impresses Josee. They manage to secure first place yet again.

The ice dancers then get off to a rough start in Bahamarama when they lose time while trying to find the map branded with the Ridonculous Race logo. They try to steal one from the police cadets although this plan does not work. After finally finding the map, the ice dancers then take a jet ski to the next challenge where Josee's claustrophobia becomes an obstacle for them yet again. Josee is convinced to complete the challenge after she realizes that they will be able to beat the police cadets. Josee ends up running out of oxygen which meant that if Jacques went in to save her, they would be disqualified from the competition. In a surprising turn of events, it is MacArthur that comes to Josee's rescue and both teams take off for the Chill Zone. Josee thinks nothing of this and throws a coconut at MacArthur which makes her trip, securing second place for the ice dancers.

Despite being one of the first teams to take off, the ice dancers get stuck in a traffic jam in A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars and only move on after a pathway is cleared when people hear the police cadet's siren. The surfers end up taking their taxi while they are in the Empire State Building so they take the police cadet's taxi instead. This plan backfires when MacArthur confiscates another vehicle and uses it to turn over the taxi that the ice dancers had stolen which results in them having to run to the Chill Zone and they end up coming in last place. Josee does not take this very well and throws a tantrum. After calming down, she promises to become a better person but pushes a woman into a fountain soon afterwards. After their loss, they are bitter about not being in the final two and believe that neither of the teams left deserve to win.
