Justin

Justin, labeled The Eye Candy, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He was also a cast member on Total Drama Action and the main antagonist for the first half of the season before Courtney returned, and he was on the Killer Grips. He does not return for Total Drama World Tour.

Biography
From the moment Justin was born, he was a vision of loveliness and beauty. He was a test tube baby and his mother paid handsomely for that test tube. Justin has always been a looker. As a child, old ladies lined up to pinch those magnificent cheeks. This led to him becoming a successful child model and he hasn't stopped working since. His fifth grade teacher had to send him to the principal's office just so the rest of the class could get some work done. His only crime was looking so darn good. Justin's bone structure is currently being studied by the Italian branch of the Center for the Analysis of Breathtaking Features. He's a straight-A student, but there is a doubt to whether he earned a single one of those grades. Truly, Justin is more than a pretty face. He also has washboard abs. No, seriously, Justin is a good guy and volunteers at a retirement home. Those old ladies still try to pinch his cheeks. People just feel compelled to give Justin stuff for free so he doesn't have to work for a living like other mortals. For this reason, Justin will donate his winnings to his favorite charity, the Unattractive Looking People Wish Foundation. No one knows why he auditioned for Total Drama Island and no one really cares... they are just soooo glad he did.

Total Drama Island
Justin joined Total Drama Island so he can donate his winnings to the “Unattractive-Looking People Wish Foundation” (although this may not be true considering that he has been known to lie). Justin is a very handsome guy, has large washboard abs that he takes particular pride in, and is a highly accomplished and very successful male model and has became somewhat of a sex symbol; in fact, even sharks refuse to eat him due to his good looks. Many of the girls (even Eva and possibly Owen) liked him, especially Katie and Sadie. Due to being kicked off so early, Justin was really a very minor character in the show with very little characterization. However, his full character comes to light in the special, where it is revealed that he is actually a liar who uses his power over females (and Owen) to get what he wants. He is also narcissistic and seems to give off the impression that he thinks nothing of those less hunky as him. Justin rarely spoke in Total Drama Island. Though this may have been because his looks spoke for him.

Justin allegedly has "powers", according to Izzy. He can manipulate any girl into doing or saying whatever he wants. His powers have also been shown (although to a certain extent) to work on men as well, as he has been able to distract Owen (explaining why Owen made some homosexual comments around him), and he was able to get the keys to the plane from the powerhouse Chef himself. His "powers" also seemed to have worked on Chris, as Chris commented that he got on the show simply because of his looks and that he almost made him believe in the human nature (key word almost). This may not be significant because Owen, Chef, and Chris are often the comic relief of the show. Especially in the case of Owen. Justin is fully aware of his supposed powers, as revealed in the one-hour special. There seems to be different levels of his powers: his voice, his eyes, and taking his shirt off. Heather used his "shirt off" powers to distract Gwen in The Very Last Episode, Really!, but Owen also got distracted. Heather seems to be the only girl, or camper for that matter, to be immune.

Justin arrives with the rest of the cast in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, and instantly upon arrival more than half the girls loved him first look, like Courtney, Katie, Sadie, even Eva and Owen, who is a male. Owen wanted to know where Justin got those cool pants and Justin replied they were worn out. Justin is soon placed on the Screaming Gophers. In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Justin joins his team in the first challenge and jumps off the 1000 foot cliff into the lake. He doesn't land into the safe zone, but luckily due to his looks, the sharks don't eat him and just help him back get back to land.

Much of Justin's character was unexplored while he was on the island, though Justin did show some underhandedness in The Big Sleep. While the other contestants were trying to stay awake in the challenge, Justin stood completely still with his eyes wide open for several hours. Trent and Gwen were amazed by his complete focus, but when they tried to speak to him he gave them no response. They soon discovered that he had painted fake eyes over his eyelids and Eva shouted that he was cheating. He was then disqualified by Chris McLean since he had been sleeping the whole time (though Chris commented it was really cool). In the episode Not Quite Famous, Justin was unanimously chosen by his team to compete in the talent show when he spilled water on his chest and made it sizzle. In the talent show, he proceeded to pose on stage and pour water on himself. Justin failed to win immunity for his team and was voted off in this episode because Heather convinced her alliance (Beth and Lindsay), Owen (whom she bribed with cake), and Izzy to vote him off.

Throughout the rest of the season, Justin remained a minor character in the background until the special. He never spoke aloud, instead allowing his looks to speak for him. Justin's character remained largely unexplored, leaving him as nothing more than an attractive camper admired by the female campers (mainly Katie and Sadie). What he did at Playa Des Losers is unknown outside of his tanning, diving, and looking at himself in the mirror. He did however seem to form a feud with Noah off-screen, whose called Justin the "anti-me" in a later episode. Justin's only real role afterwards, other than the special, was in the final episode, where Heather pulls off his shirt to try and distract Gwen from winning the final challenge (although this backfired when it ended up distracting Owen as well).

Justin's character starts to become explored in the special, Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, where he finally speaks once again. In the special, Justin shows that he has a dishonest side, and he eventually abandons Katie and Sadie in a cave when he gets annoyed by their chatter. It's during this episode that Justin unveils his "powers" to win the million bucks. His powers take all but Izzy by surprise (though even she falls victim to it). Throughout the episode, Justin uses his "powers" in various ways to try and win. At the end of the challenge, he manages to get Chef's plane and parachute down to Lindsay. He manages to successfully get the case from Lindsay, but he is then attacked by Eva and Noah, who dump fish on him. He is then finished off by Izzy when Izzy slams a bucket over his head. Justin starts to blindly walk away and seemed like he wouldn't make it to the Dock of Shame with the others. However, his parachute got caught in a stampede as part of an airplane wing snagged onto his parachute, and he was pulled onto the dock with the rest of the qualifying campers. He was technically the last person to make it to the dock and season two.

Total Drama Action
Justin's character is much more touched upon than in the previous season, continuing from the special, Justin is a sneaky and manipulative player. Justin takes up the mantle of the main antagonist for the first half of the second season. However, Justin's role as an antagonist is noticeably different then Heather's. Where as Heather is willing to take charge and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, Justin prefers to get others to do his work for him (as he fears ruining his good looks, which eventually fails). Also, while Heather was not afraid to expose her true nature to those she disliked, Justin seems to keep his true nature hidden to all. Justin also seems to actually befriend some cast mates (as he actually seemed angry about Owen's elimination), whereas Heather purely avoided making friends. Justin also doesn't like to do very much thinking and prefers others coming up with his plans for him (in the latter half of the second season he talks to his brain as though he hasn't used it in a while). Justin shows that he is very bossy when it comes to his looks (as he causes some rooming issues in the boys' cabin for his skin treatment), similar to Heather's actions in the girls' cabin in the first season. Justin is also very frightened of the simplest of injuries as he fears they will ruin his good looks (though in Masters of Disasters he gave up trying to protect his looks as no matter what he did he just wound up failing). He is often seen with Beth, who has a very noticeable crush on him. Much like Heather, he is willing to manipulate people in order to get what he wants. He is constantly flirting with Beth and Lindsay, and as a result, the two are very supportive of him (though he has shown he cares little, if anything, for them). He also puts people in debt to him (as he had Gwen throw the prison challenge in exchange for eliminating Trent). Justin's manipulative ways have proven to be effective throughout the season; he is responsible for the elimination of Gwen, Izzy (the second time) and Trent (though he was not completely alone in this case).

In Monster Cash, Justin is quickly drawn into a monster chase along with the other campers. When Justin is caught, his "powers" apparently cause Chef Hatchet to lower him gently into the holding pit (instead of just dropping him like the rest of the campers). During the alien challenge in Alien Resurr-eggtion, Justin teams up with Beth, LeShawna and Lindsay. It is here that he starts to show signs of nastiness when he makes sarcastic remarks at Lindsay, who is too awed by his beauty to realize that Justin was insulting her. Justin and the rest of his team loses the challenge when Chef Hatchet (Alien Mother) traps them with a full dose of "alien slime" (green paint in reality), to which he thinks feels good.

His true nature finally comes to full light in Beach Blanket Bogus, where he seems to be aware that Beth does actually have feelings for him. Justin tags along with her at the beach and tells Beth that he is the only one who did not receive a friendship bracelet. She gives him the one on her wrist, saying it's sweaty, but Justin says it's red and gladly accepts it. Justin reveals in the confessional that he is willing to do anything to win. He then looks at his bracelet and (with a mocking voice) asks if Beth wants to have an alliance, foreshadowing his plans to lure Beth into an alliance where he can manipulate her whenever he wishes to. This shows that he is a truly manipulative person who is even willing to use love as a way to get what he wants, suggesting he is quite narcissistic. Even Chris, who is watching, thinks they are related, which he doubts.

In 3:10 to Crazytown, Justin starts to find ways of getting out of challenges by stating that he has model rights. Justin has also been shown to treat Beth poorly, as she said that he told her that she looked like a horse (though she first thought it was a compliment until she thought about it). By eavesdropping, Justin was the one who found out about Trent throwing challenges for Gwen and informed the team. In front of the Killer Grips, Justin accused Gwen of cheating to get to the final two, and told her to prove that she wasn't in an alliance with Trent. This forced Gwen to tell the Killer Grips to vote off Trent. Justin and the rest of his team eliminated Trent because of there were angry about Trent throwing so many challenges.

Justin seems to have taken on Trent's role as team captain for the Grips, as he appears to be calling the shots for his team for most of The Chefshank Redemption, especially having a say in who does a challenge and telling his teammates to relax when they begin to doubt that Gwen will repay her debt to them. The Grips do win their first challenge in this episode and Gwen is eliminated. He continues to use his charms to get himself out of doing the dirty work, as well as continue to lure Beth further into his influential grasp. Later on, Lindsay becomes team captain.

In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, to avoid reading the medical books, he decides to enlist Beth's help. He asks her, if he squints when he reads. Beth replies with "I'm distracted by your shirt," there fore Justin rips off his shirt and Beth agrees to read the whole book to him. Justin smiles and relaxes, getting his way once again. Later in the episode, Justin becomes one of the "victim" of "mortitistical crumbles disease" with the symptom of itchy lips.

In The Sand Witch Project, Justin originally wants to be the "serial killer" for the Grips, but Lindsay convinces the team to have Beth perform the task. Later, during the first part of the challenge, Justin is "scared" by Beth, and lets out a pathetic scream, saying that he can't do any better without risking his vocal chords. Justin ends up being in the bottom two with Lindsay at the end of the episode before DJ asks to leave the competition.

In Masters of Disasters, Justin is one of the many characters to openly doubt Beth's "boyfriend's" existence, once Beth pulls out a card with her "boyfriend's" statistics on the back, saying he knew that was where she got the information about her "boyfriend" as he is a "professional male model". Justin is visibly uneasy with Beth's fantasies of having both her "boyfriend" and himself simultaneously, much to Beth's annoyance. For the first time, Justin is visibly injured in a challenge when he is pelted with golf balls and covered in sores; he is devastated about this and is convinced he will never get his skin care line endorsement because of the injuries he sustained. He later shows mild incompetence when he fights with Lindsay over who gets to have the numbers to the combination lock during the second challenge, causing them to lose their only advantage in the challenge when they drop the paper containing the code into the water, washing the numbers away. Izzy, of all people, shows contempt with both Lindsay and Justin and claims she is surrounded by loons, but Justin seems not to understand what she means.

In Full Metal Drama, Justin begins to seemingly lose his effect on Beth and Lindsay, which greatly worries him. They both suddenly begin to resist his charm, something which rarely happens to him. He thinks math is for ugly people, implying that he hates math. He ends up asking Izzy if she thought he was cute, to which she replies negatively, saying she never thought he was really that cute. This frustrates Justin, and leads to him eventually swaying Lindsay and Beth's vote by using his new hair flip. If he had not have convinced others to vote for Izzy, it is clear that he most likely would've been the one leaving, as Beth and Lindsay said they were going to vote for him. He also got another injury on his face and then he thinks he can't take any more abuse to his body or he'll lose it.

During Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Justin's manipulative ways come out more. At the bank vault challenge, Lindsay and Beth were stumped as to what the lock combination. Justin goes over to Chris, stating that hot guys like the two need to stick together. In exchange for the combination code, Justin promised Chris a talk about "guy stuff" and a shoulder rub. Justin's closeness towards Chris began to freak him out. At Courtney's return, she begins slaving for her new team and asks Justin to do something. Due to his modeling, he asks her if there's anything that won't get grease on his epidermis. When Owen is voted off he was furious that Courtney wasn't voted off and that Owen is leaving. He even gives his award to Owen.

Justin isn't seen much in One Million Bucks, B.C.. In the beginning, he was commenting about his body and later, he is mysteriously not in the fire building competition. He returns in the second challenge, a duel, where he ties with Harold since Lindsay told him the tar felt very good. His antagonist role is seemingly not shown anymore, as Courtney seems to be the new antagonist. This is the point where Courtney replaces Justin as the main antagonist of the season.

In Million Dollar Babies, he is seen in the beginning inside the boys trailer, saying that he was going to move to Canada and then realized that he is already there. Justin shows that he does not recognize the game badminton when he asked questions about it. Justin thinks that there was no badminton movie and the idea of one would be lame. Chris immediately gets defensive and said that there was a badminton movie and it was very un-lame. Justin, along with everyone (except Heather), gets mad at LeShawna for what she said about them when she went on her spa trip. He is then put up against LeShawna in the final part of the challenge in a "slam dunk" challenge. He dribbles the ball around the Gaffers and steals Heather's wig before shooting. He lost to LeShawna when she hit him with a basketball and caused him to go into the hoop. He then forgives LeShawna after the her apology cheer. At the end of the episode, he helps the Killer Grips win the challenge with their Chris cheer.

In Dial M for Merger, Justin spends the episode distraught that Beth had accidentally hit him in the face, thus giving him a black eye. He considered himself a "circus freak". He was content with his work towards the end of the challenge, until the contents of the bombs the contestants were diffusing exploded. Towards the beginning of the episode, he is shown to try and calm down Beth, telling her everything will be okay, but it does not work. Once he learns the teams are now merged, he begins to 'conversations' with his brain as a running gag throughout the episode. This may have payed off as in both challenges, he used his hand mirror to his advantage. (Using it to deflect lasers and the sun to cut the wiring on the bomb, even though he failed in both.) At the end, he says he and his brain are through as friends.

In Super Hero-ld, Justin forms a Guys' Alliance between himself, Duncan, and Harold after he notices that they are outnumbered, four to three, and has lost almost all control of Beth and Lindsay and his alliance with them. Justin creates a superhero caller "Timberman," strangely similar to Beth's hero. Justin tells the guys to vote off Courtney, even though she is invincible. Justin presumably voted for LeShawna, who Duncan suggested.

Justin finally meets his end in The Princess Pride, where once again his "powers" continue to fail on Lindsay and Beth. Justin actually winds up becoming a victim of his own game when he becomes smitten with Courtney. He wonders how Courtney manages to be so determined and asked her. Justin accidentally insults Courtney and believes denial is the way to go. Justin gets another black eye when a glass boot hit him. He grows to likes Courtney's feisty personality and forms a fierce rivalry with Duncan. When it comes down to the final challenge, Justin forms a temporary alliance with Harold to keep Duncan from winning the challenge (however he betrays him in the end). Justin nearly wins the challenge, until he learns he has to sword fight with Courtney to win invincibility. However, Justin lets his feelings get in the way and surrenders to Courtney (though she still knocks him off the tower). This winds up becoming Justin's fatal mistake as it prevents him from gaining invincibility and he is voted off at the award ceremony (and by Courtney). Making his elimination worse, his greatly admired body was damaged during the fall, putting him a full body cast. It seemed as though Justin finally got his karma for using Lindsay and Beth since neither of them seemed to even care that he was eliminated.

In the recap for Get a Clue, Justin is seen in the lame-o-sine holding Courtney's glass boot.

Justin's question in The Aftermath: IV was basically asking if he was still hot. Although Beth admitted that Justin still looked good, it seems as though her attraction to him is gone. At the end of the episode, Beth's boyfriend Brady comes out. Justin is so surprised at how Brady looks and it slightly bitter towards him. Justin then states that he feels like an ugly person compared to him, and scowls at Beth and her boyfriend as they hug. In the alternate ending, he just looks surprised and belittles himself compared to him.

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special Justin seems to given up his old ways and seems to have actually made some real friendships. After Total Drama Action, Justin started a band with Cody, Trent and Harold and seems to really be friends with them without caring about pure fame and glory. He admits he doesn't know how to play an instrument, but his fans don't care. He does however still show an uncaring side when he broke up with his girlfriend over a text message. The band, however, later broke up due to disputes over the music (and Harold wanted to go solo). Justin teams up with everyone to stop Chris's new reality show, but Courtney drives the bus off a cliff. Justin went with a small group of teens to go find help, and wound up missing Chris's rescue and his chance to compete on Total Drama World Tour.

Audition tape
In Justin's audition tape, it shows him sitting on the beach holding up a starfish while in the background a voice repeats his name three times. A dolphin then swims onto shore in an effort to be closer to Justin.

Camp TV
Justin was one of the characters to appear in Camp TV. His design looks nearly identical to his current design. The only real difference is his face, which had dotted eyes and a much sweeter smile. This may or may not indicate that Justin was not originally intended to become an antagonist on Camp TV, but this is hard to determine as he did not appear in the promo.
