Duncan

Duncan (Hugo in French) labeled The Delinquent, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Killer Bass team. Currently, he is a cast member on Total Drama Action on the Screaming Gaffers.

Total Drama Island
Duncan is a punk juvenile delinquent who comes from a long line of policemen and policewomen. His dad is a cop. His mom is a cop. His uncle, aunt, grandma, and cousins are cops. He is easily angered antagonistic towards the other members of the Killer Bass, especially Harold. He is known to easily get on anyone's bad side. He knows many tactics from his time spent in juvenile detention centers. He can carve a picture of a skull into a tree trunk and lift great amounts of weight (such as Owen who is about twice his size). He's a sarcastic kind of person, flirting with Heather (despite his dislike of Heather) and making fun of Courtney whenever she gets near him (he also makes gestures that he scored some chicks on the boat cruise weekend he spent with the other boys). He gave Courtney the pet name 'princess'. Duncan loves to break rules (or the ones he "wants to"), he seems to break many rules on the island possibly because he hates it and wants to make it more interesting.

Duncan is a smart and tactical person and seems to use his rule breaking and position to his advantage, seeing as how he cannot be kicked off the island unless he is officially voted off. His rule breaking habits land him much criticism from the "Good Girl" Courtney (which he seems to like). Through her criticism Duncan forms a crush on Courtney, which he tries to pass off by saying "she's hot" but he obviously really likes her. Eventually in Basic Straining he manages to get Courtney to break the rules (by stealing food) and they wind up as a couple (even though Courtney denies it at various times). Harold gets back at Duncan by opening the vote-off the island box and replacing the votes with all against Courtney votes of his own. When Courtney is kicked off Duncan is devastated. In the episode he is cuffed with LeShawna he carves D+C in a heart on the back of a wooden sculpture of Courtney's head. In "No Pain, No Game", he votes for Heather to leave the island because he thinks she has something to do with Courtney being kicked off, not knowing that Harold is the real culprit. He gives out a shout out to her on camera, telling her "I miss you, Babe".

He forms a little alliance with Heather in Wawanakwa Gone Wild!. However he seems to only want an alliance with Heather since she is his biggest competition. He even stated that he had a win-win situation, if Heather escaped from the bear he was helping her with he would have an alliance, if she didn't she would get eaten. During elmination for Wawanakwa Gone Wild! Heather makes him cleans the bathroom as a punshiment. He says that he and his brothers would build bikes together; he would steal the parts. In the serial killer challenge, when watching a horror movie with the other campers, it is revealed he and Gwen both like the same movie. When Leshawna told him, while they were cuffed together in a challenge, that she knew about Duncan secretly replacing DJ's pet Bunny, he revealed that his dog ran away when he was six, and that he didn't want DJ to go through the same thing. He was the fourth to last camper voted off (though technically he was the last person actually voted off; Heather was automatically eliminated in I Triple Dog Dare You!, Gwen lost in the finals, and Owen won the finals). thus he is the last Killer Bass to be voted off after DJ and Geoff were voted off, leaving only former Screaming Gophers. Duncan leaves saying, "Good, get me out of here", implying that he hated the island and just wanted to leave.

He was the leader of the Guys' Alliance and he was not only the only person to volunteer to be in Heather's Alliance, but he was also the only guy in Heather's alliance and the only person to be in both alliances. During the Guys' Alliance in Hide and Be Sneaky, he convinces Geoff, DJ and Owen to eliminate Bridgette, due to her being likeable and good at sports, but Geoff refused, due to his crush on her. As came it down between Duncan and Bridgette for the final marshmallow, Duncan was safe, making Bridgette the next one to go. He also constantly says that he is a loner, although it's obvious he considers Geoff and DJ friends, and even Owen to some extent. He has had a few verbal exchanges with LeShawna, but nothing in the areas of violent offense. Duncan seems to have his unibrow split when he has a major emotion.

In the special, he and Courtney team up in order to find the case of money. Though Duncan manages to get it, he hits a rock and sprains his foot. Despite his pleas for help, Courtney abandons him (to which he says he loves that woman). As Noah comes he pulls down his pants. Duncan manages to make it back to camp, but is attacked by a moose. However he wards it off with the moose head from the mess hall. When Courtney cheers him on, telling him to; "go honey go!" He threatens her saying he's coming for her next. Duncan is soon caught in a stampede and is one of the fourteen people to make it to the dock and Total Drama Action, but Courtney falls in tub below the diving board and doesn't make it in time.

Total Drama Action
Duncan aligns himself with his fellow men until teams are officially picked in Riot on Set; Duncan is picked for Gwen's team. This made Gwen's boyfriend Trent jealous, and after seeing that she and Duncan have a lot in common during the challenge it causes some friction between them. Duncan shared a bunk bed with Justin in the first episode, but has since moved to a bunk of his own.

In Riot On Set, during the challenge where one member of the two teams has to act in front of Chef, the Screaming Gaffers convinced Duncan to play a gangster who was forced to go with straight. Duncan, at first, refuses to play the role because of his fear of being typecast. As the team continued to convince him to take on the role, he reluctantly agrees. When he performed in front of everyone, using the script meant for the other team, Duncan brought everyone to tears, winning the challenge for his team.

In Beach Blanket Bogus, he won the surfing challenge for his team (Followed by a hug with Gwen, which upset Trent) When they return to Total Drama Island, he and Gwen dismantle the bus so they could stay at Total Drama Island for another night.

In 3:10 to Crazytown, Duncan continues pranking Harold throughout the western challenge, explaining that he continues to torture him as payback when Duncan finally found out about Harold rigging the votes on getting Courtney voted off.

In The Aftermath: I, Courtney learned that Duncan was hanging out with Gwen. She immediately displayed disapproval at this relationship and has sworn to get even with Duncan.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Duncan is one of only two people (along with DJ) who didn't vote Gwen off the show, where she cost the Gaffers the prison challenge by owing the Killer Grips after Trent cheated for Gwen. As Chef puts handcuffs on Gwen when they were heading to the Lame-o-sine, Duncan stops them and offers to take Gwen's place, as a joke saying he really wanted to be out of the competition. After Chef Hatchet says he didn't care if he took her place, Duncan is quick to say that he was kidding. Then Gwen tells him he won't get out of the competition that easily and wishes Duncan the best of luck for the team as she heads over to the limo. It is insinuated that Duncan will be taking over as team captain for the Screaming Gaffers in Gwen's place.

In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, Duncan, along with LeShawna, decided not to study for the challenge, and to sleep instead. LeShawna is also trying to form an alliance with both Harold and Duncan throughout the episode, but, as the two boys hate one another, Duncan laughs at LeShawna's idea. Also, Duncan continues to constantly irritate Harold in this episode, presumably still because of his past actions against Courtney.

In The Sand Witch Project, when the Screaming Gaffers were choosing their serial killer, they all agreed on Duncan, but Chef intervined, threatening Duncan and forcing the team to choose DJ. Heather and Duncan are also forced to kiss during the challenge, which both of them expressed disgust towards. Later, when the Gaffers were scaring the Grips, Duncan had a plan to scare them by making fake blood and having it ooze through the wall. When LeShawna compliments Duncan on how real the blood looks, he tells them about how he and his brothers have stood outside a kindergarten covered in fake blood, and reveals that he had once given twelve five-year-olds seizures, which cause LeShawna to withdraw her respect. Also, when DJ was eliminating himself, Duncan attempted to convince him to stay in the competition.

Duncan is angered along with Heather in Masters Of Disasters, when he finds out that LeShawna had faked her crying two episodes earlier so she can get the reward for herself. Also after the team had won the challenge, Chris offered the Gaffers a reward to stay at a cottage on top of an active volcano in British Columbia, to which Duncan angrily refused for the team. It is unknown how Heather and Duncan's anger at LeShawna will affect the Screaming Gaffers' functionality as they have been working cohesively as a team in recent episodes.

In Full Metal Drama, Duncan reveals that he always wanted to be a marine because he thought their stands and solutes sounded cool (though he doesn't know what they mean). Duncan continues to show a grudge against LeShawna from her previous actions. He also continues to bully Harold in this episode, calling him a series of names and mocking him, as well as causing him physical pain. Duncan is responsible for his teams victory in the second part of the challenge, and partly responsible for their victory in the final part of the challenge. Towards the end of the episode, due to Harold forcing him to, Duncan claims that he "appreciates the small part of Harold that isn't a loser". They compliment each other at the end.

In The Aftermath: ll Geoff showed a new clip about something that happened those weeks in Total Drama Action. The clip shows Gwen and Duncan looking at the stars. Duncan seems to show his sweet-side when he asked with a cute look if Courtney was looking at those stars at that moment and ends with Duncan on top of Gwen a mere inch or two from her lips. This clip only angers Courtney further, even when Gwen insisted they were only friends.

It has been revealed that in a future episode, Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Duncan will be over-confident with the challenge of blowing a safe, until he discovers that Courtney is the bank teller. The reunion is hardly a happy one as she will be on the opposite team. It is implied that there may be conflict between the couple once she returns.

Audition tape
He talks about his qualities while climbing down the wall of the juvenile hall he was staying at. But as soon as he hits the ground, he gets hit by a search light, the alarm goes off and guard dogs are heard about to approach him. Duncan then says it's been nice chatting but he's gotta run, he then runs off into the dark. It is unknown how he was able to video tape himself climbing down the wall and then zoomed out picture to when he is caught by the guards, though it is possible that he used the security cameras to film the video.

Video log
Duncan's parents and his parole officer send him a video log just like the other campers in the Final Five of how much they miss them. His parents tell him that they love him despite the fact that he got arrested for the "Happy Nude Year Stunt", or for selling his father's hairpiece as pets, or for the pool party at City Hall fountain. Soon his parents bicker between them until his parole officer inquires about the pool party. It ends with his father telling him to win the money for his lawyer. This may be the reason why Duncan wants the money: to get a good lawyer to bail him out of juvie for good.

Camp TV


Duncan was one of the campers who appeared in the prototype to Total Drama Island, Camp TV. He was also one of the main characters of the show, as he appears in nearly every seen of the promo and the promotional art. Like his current character, he was a crook from Juvenile Hall who bullied everyone on the island. However, despite his bullying, he seemed to be close friends with Tyler (the two were in a canoe giving a each other a high five before discovering they went over the waterfall in the promo).

He also seemed to have some friendship with Gwen (since she has her hand over his shoulder smiling in the promotional art). Duncan was one of the few campers to go practically unchanged, the only difference being in his facial expressions. However, Duncan is one of the few characters who had an even older draft design that looks completely different from his next two designs. This older draft was later used for the intern named Phil. Although this design does still appear (with Harold and Beth) in the promo, it's assumed that this design was assigned to Cody after Duncan was redesigned.
