User:Juan Jose Rodriguez



José (Juan in French), labeled The Mexican, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He was a strong competitor, but was removed from the season entirely.

Total Drama Island
Juan José Rodriguez, normally known as José, is a Mexican-Canadian teenager. He is smart, but he also loves to play sports, therefore wanting to avoid the terms "Jock" or "Geek." He is fluent in Spanish and English, and uses his second language frequently in TDI. He is a talented singer, but not a good dancer or artist, and very friendly. His best friends on the island are DJ, LeShawna, Gwen, Courtney, Duncan, Bridgette and Geoff.

José is a good soccer player, and in his native Mexico City, he was always picked as goalie. When his family moved to Toronto, Canada, he realized that hockey was the big sport there, just soccer on ice. He never really learned how to skate, so he decided to go back to the less-popular sport of soccer. He hopes to make it to Toronto FC.

On the island, he never developed a romantic relationship with the other campers, but he did make friends with DJ easily, attempting coaxing him to jump off the cliff in the first episode. He cheered for his friends that weren't even on the Screaming Gophers.

In Paintball Deer Hunter, José is revealed to be amazing at paintball. He makes a paintball grenade and throws it at Heather, exploding on all of them, He then apologizes to LeShawna and Beth. In the confessional stall, he says "I'm tired of Heather. Mira, she's a low-down user and she needs to go. " In If You Can't Take The Heat, José helped LeShawna and Beth make the pineapple and mango salad after she tells them she has allergies. He pelts Heather with a mango when she isn't eliminated, implying that he voted for her.

In Who Can You Trust, José got hit in the eye with a crabapple, but then got the arrow knocked off of his head. José and LeShawna were paired for the blind William Tell challenge, and they high-fived after the challenge. He tried to comfort DJ about bunny, which has become a running gag in the series, with José comforting DJ.

In Basic Straining, he fell asleep holding up the canoe, but he moved on to the next round. He failed to complete the 300 words about Master Chief Chef Hatchet. He was one of FOUR people who did not vote for Courtney, but ignored by Chris and Chef.

José did not see action in X-Treme Torture. He was questioned by Gwen if he liked any of the girls on the island, but José said that he did not have any romantic feelings. He offered to help try to find out. Before he asked Harold, he pushed him off the dock in retaliation of getting Courtney off, so he did not find out that Harold wrote the note. José ate several dishes in Brunch of Disgustingness, but threw up after hearing about the bull testicles and sniffing one. He, however went to the spa, to his and the guy's delight. José had no lines in the original airing of this episode before he was removed entirely. See Camp Castaways for more information about José's disappearance.

No Pain, No Game was an average episode for José. His first challenge was to eat incredibly spicy food. He did so without hesitation. He then had to get punched by Eva in the stomach repetitively after he defended Bridgette. ("What? Get punched by Ev - OOF!") José took 2 punches before he used Owen to defend himself.

In Search and Do Not Destroy, José's key was on the antler of a wild moose. He got DJ to coax the moose so he could grab the key. However, Owen accidentally shakes the tree after seeing a chocolate bar that slipped out of José's pocket while José was returning the favour to DJ. He got extremely creased by Heather after she kissed Trent, stood up for Gwen, and tripped her while she was walking away. His case had an art kit, which he gave to Gwen, as José stood up for her after LeShawna asked him to vote off Trent. He apologized to Gwen with LeShawna after Trent was eliminated.

José's hiding spot in Hide and Be Sneaky was in the confessional stall, grabbing onto the roof from the inside. Chef found him while talking in the stall, with José getting extremely wet. He laughed, and helped Chef try to find people. He received a marshmallow instead of Bridgette, and hugged her, surprisingly even though Geoff, her boyfriend, wouldn't kiss her. José said that he should have been eliminated instead of her, implying a strong friendship.

In That's Off The Chain, José did not know how to ride a bike, much to the laughter of the other contestants. He ignored some of them for the rest of the episode, building a wooden scooter. He surprisingly came in first place, after jumping off a cliff, taking a shortcut, and Chris announcing that anything goes. He won invincibility, his second time of getting it.

In Hook, Line and Screamer, José revealed he hated horror movies, just like DJ. He tried to hide in a tree from Chef, but Chef cut it down. When DJ ran, he bumped into José's tree, causing José to scream and Chef to hear him. Later, José tried to calm down DJ about what he saw, saying "It's just a human, a freak but a human nonetheless." He participated in the group hug with DJ, being his best friend on the island. In the confessional stall, he said "Man, that sucks. I mean, it's Heather. I would be scared like crap!"

In Wawanakwa Gone Wild, José had to capture a moose. He jumped from a tree with a rope, wrapped it around it's horns, and surprisingly lead it back to camp immediately after LeShawna brought her frog.

In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, José was paired with Izzy, however, he got injured massively by that same moose. However, he still managed to drag on, and in a double elimination, Izzy and Geoff were voted off. José voted for Owen.

In Haut Camp-ture, José was popular to Courtney, Bridgette, Geoff and DJ. However, out of these 4, Geoff and DJ are the only ones who admit they'd vote for him, implying José had not greeted enough of the campers.

In the episode Camp Castaways, he was officially eliminated after he spent the entire episode sleeping in the cabin, unaware of the large rainstorm. However, due to unknown reasons, TDI staff completely and utterly deleted José from the entire season, replacing his departure with Mr. Coconut's. José is the only camper to be hidden from the entire viewing world in the season. Due to this, there was immensely large editing, and Izzy had to be removed from Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon.

Audition tape
José is at a soccer field playing soccer while reading. He looks at the camera and tells it that if he were chosen, he'd be friendly and a fair competitor to everyone on the island. He then blocks a goal, but the ball hits the camera and knocks it out of focus.
