Noah

Noah, called the Lazy and Sadistic Know-It-All (and The Schemer in a promotional picture), was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He is currently not qualified to compete in Total Drama Action.

Biography
Noah is a self-absorbed, lazy teen who blends in with the background. He enjoys sitting, lying down, occasionally leaning, and reading. He is known for "being a freakish child genius." He joined because he wants to apply skills from fantasy-land survival video games to the real world. He was the third person to be voted off in the competition because he wouldn't participate in the challenge.

He highly contrasts with Owen, but despite this, at the beginning of the show, Noah seems to tolerate Owen, since Owen understands the references of his cynical jokes. Noah no longer considered him a friend when he voted him off, and ended up disliking his entire team after the rest of them voted him off as well.

Like Heather, he seems to have a superiority complex and looks down on others, especially LeShawna, Harold, Justin, Courtney, Gwen, Cody, and Duncan. He harbors a dislike towards Leshawna for calling him a disrespectful turkey when he was voted off (something he did not enjoy hearing from her). However, in Haut Camp-ture, he admitted that he preferred LeShawna over Gwen, Owen, and Duncan because of her ingenious strategy of locking Heather in the freezer in If You Can't Take The Heat.... He only cheered for Owen in the final episode because he considered Owen the lesser of two evils (the other being Gwen); not because he actually liked Owen.

In the episode "Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!" he teams up with with Izzy and Eva, more-or-less being civil with them most of the time (but admits in the Confessional stall that he finds Izzy to be off-kilter). It may seem his friendships with Izzy and Eva are only for the contest and not genuine, however, he is seen concerned when Courtney attacks Izzy, hinting that Noah is possibly developing compassion for his fellow teammates, since he normally displays sadistic tendencies (not unlike Chris Mclean) when the campers fight each other. He still showed this trait when Duncan was reeling in pain from a sprained ankle after Courtney abandoned him; Noah stood there and insulted Duncan to his face, thinking he was too helpless to retaliate, but Noah underestimated him and lost his pants as a result. He also did not hesitate to scold Eva for falling for Justin's charms when they were in possession of the case. It is possible that Noah has played a part in helping Eva with her anger management, as he reminded her that crushing Justin's skull was a step too far. Eva accepted Noah's scolding as constructive criticism, rather than responding with rage as she normally would have in the past. Things like this in the special have resulted in fans believing in the Noah-Eva relationship. At the end of the episode, he and Eva dump water and a fish on Justin, who had just obtained the million-dollar case from Lindsay. Izzy then runs in and steals the case while Justin is distracted, but Noah and Eva don not have enough time to run to the dock and land in the lake to tie with the other campers, so he will not participate in Total Drama Action, but might possibly return as a spectator.

Noah has a distinct dislike for Justin. This feud seems to have originated when Justin voted off Noah and later escalated during their stay in Playa Des Losers, possibly because of the characters' clashing personalities. The feud is shown in the special, when Noah calls Justin the "anti-me". Noah is also one of many people who finds Harold annoying and goes out of his way to avoid even holding a conversation with him, as evident when Noah mimic suicidal gestures while Harold lectured him on beavers.

In The Big Sleep, he accidentally kissed Cody on the ear in his sleep (an event that the other campers have constantly teased him about, especially Izzy, Katie, Sadie, and Trent). He refuses to comment about the incident, and frequently denies that it ever happened until he was proved wrong. In the same episode Noah is seen running in first place at the 20k run, however, he later passes out due to lack of air and has to be rescued by Owen. Noah might not have fully passed out, because when the Gophers won the race, he is suddenly revived and cheers with his team.

Audition tape
In his audition, Noah is congratulated by a friend, Joey, for making class president. Then he says that he is smart and that would be how he will come out on top.



Trivia

 * Noah will not appear in Total Drama Action as a competitor, but will still appear in some way or form; most likely a spectator/commentator.
 * Noah only seems to get along with Izzy and Eva.
 * He demonstrates his enjoyment to see other people fight in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 when seeing LeShawna fight with Heather about jumping off the cliff and later on in Haut Camp-ture when Harold and Courtney get into a slap fight and fall into the pool; Noah exclaims "Excellent!".
 * It is interesting to note that Harold is the only camper who goes out of his way to attempt to befriend Noah (though Noah denies him). While Heather compliments him in the Confessional stall in later episodes, it is more likely that she was merely trying to manipulate him (and the other losers) to vote for her to win.
 * Noah states in Haut Camp-ture that he has a Golden Labrador dog which "drools less over a rib-eye steak than Courtney drools over Duncan".
 * A recurring gag in the show is for Noah to get hit in the head with something after sarcastically insulting another camper.
 * Dodgebrawl: Noah is hit in the face with a dodgeball after sarcastically yelling "Go, team, go!" when his team is losing the challenge. In the same episode is pelted with marshmallows, some of which hit his face, after saying he's "the only one with any brains on this team".
 * Haut Camp-ture: Courtney throws her drinking glass at his head after he tells her to stop whining about being kicked off the show.
 * Noah's dark-complected skin has raised several questions as to what country his family line originated from. One theory is that he is of Native American descent or of India descent, but this has not been proven.
 * Noah quoted the infamous "Excellent" from Mr. Burns of The Simpsons.
 * It is stated that most of the campers hate Noah, especially Justin, Leshawna, Duncan, and Gwen, yet Katie and Sadie do not. And for characters such as Tyler or Geoff, it is unknown if they hate him because they do not interact with him throughout the entire series.
 * Goof: Noah's book appearing and disappearing:
 * In Dodgebrawl Noah is never seen with a book nor does he have any kind of carriage for a book, yet once he sits on the bleachers he has one. After the game is finished, his book is gone.
 * In Haut Camp-ture Noah's book is in his hands, then no where in sight often in back to back scenes.
 * It is revealed in the special that Noah wears boxers.
 * Noah has a girlish shriek when scared, as revealed in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. It is similar to Harold's girlish scream in Dodgebrawl.
 * In Dodgebrawl, Chris says, "The first rule of dodgeball is-" to which Noah says, "Do not talk about dodgeball?"; a direct reference to the famous Fight Club line.
 * Noah is the only camper not seen jumping off the cliff, though he did do so as he is shown with Trent in the water in the safe zone.
 * Noah is the only camper that possibly failed to complete the entire 20 kilometer run in The Big Sleep as Owen was seen carrying him to the finish.
 * The Noah shippings most popular amongst fans are Noah-Eva, Noah-Heather and Noah-Cody.
 * Though not in an official relationship, most people believe the TDI special hinted toward Noah-Eva. They are probably closer to each other than either one is individually with another camper.
 * Noah also seems to be much more angry with Eva for being attracted to Justin than he is with Izzy, something fans see as jealousy. Eva and Noah are also exact opposites, the body-builder and the weakling whom fears physical movement, which is a trend among official TDI couples.
 * Noah is said to be the smallest, possibly youngest, of 9 siblings (though a few argue he has 8, due to the unclarity of his Cartoon Network biography).
