User blog comment:VeryUnknownFan/Which season is the worst in Total Drama? Total Drama Action, or Total Drama All Stars?/@comment-1756703-20131208071358/@comment-3173400-20131210015947

For Trent: Trent started doing the lucky number thing because he felt like he needed the luck as his girlfriend started to hang out with Duncan, and he felt completely insecure and that he was losing Gwen. He needed some luck in his life, and threw challenges for Gwen because he was slowing losing her and would do anything. We may not agree with it, but as I rewatched the season I feel like that is the only logical reason behind the number 9 thing. Either that, or Trent's Grandpa died between TDI and TDA.
