The twenty-two contestants of Total Drama Island are portrayals of well known teenage stereotypes. The stereotypes given to each are the ones from the very first promotional poster released for the show. However, with each of the virtual flipbooks released for each season of the series, some characters' stereotypes may change or stay the same.

Total Drama World Tour
''Ezekiel and Blaineley competed in this season but were not given stereotypes. However, Heather called Blaineley a "Diva", and Chris called Ezekiel, as well as Sierra, "Cling-Ons". But, most of the other contestants call him "Homeschool". ''
 * Alejandro: The Arch Villain
 * Bridgette: The Surfer-Girl
 * Cody: The Geek

 * Blaineley's was likely due to her debuting far into the competition, and trying to stop spoilers. Ezekiel's reason is unknown.

Trivia

 * The only contestants whose stereotypes have remained the same with all three of the flipbooks and the promotional poster so far are:
 * Heather (The Queen Bee)
 * Bridgette (The Surfer Girl).
 * Two contestants have competed in only two seasons and kept the same stereotype in both:
 * Cody (The Geek)
 * Beth (The Wannabe)
 * Most of the contestants have had their stereotypes changed throughout the series. Most commonly, their names were changed in the Total Drama Action flipbook, and have remained the same since then. The contestants who fall under this category are:
 * Owen: From The Party Guy to The Big Guy
 * Gwen: From The Loner to The Goth Girl
 * Leshawna: From The Sister With 'Tude to The Lively [Girl]
 * Geoff: From The Funniest Guy Around to The Party Guy
 * Izzy: From The Psycho Hose Beast to The Insane [Girl]
 * DJ: From The Brickhouse With Heart to The Teddy Bear
 * Lindsay: From The Dumb Princess to The Dimwit
 * Harold: The Dweeb to The Uber-Geek
 * Courtney: From The Type A to The Over-Achiever
 * Trent: From The Cool Guy to The Deep & Mysterious [Guy]
 * Tyler: From The Jock to The Sporto Who Sucks at Sports
 * Justin: From The Eye Candy to The Jaw-Dropping [Guy]
 * Noah: From The Schemer to The High IQ
 * Some of the contestants only appeared on one list of stereotypes and are yet to be seen as to whether or not their titles will be changed. These contestants are:
 * Alejandro: The Arch-Villan
 * Ezekiel: The Home-Schooled Guy
 * Eva: The Female Bully
 * Katie: The Sweet Girl
 * Sadie: The Sweet Girl's Friend
 * Sierra: The Obsessive Uber-Fan
 * This was due to Katie, Sadie, and Eva competing in only one season, Alejandro and Sierra's debut into season three, and Ezekiel's unexplained absence on the season three flyer.
 * One contestant has had three different stereotypes with each of the three seasons:
 * Duncan: From The Delinquent to The Criminal to The Juvie.
 * It is worth noting that, with the Total Drama Action flipbook, Geoff has somewhat inherited Owen's original stereotype as The Party Guy. This probably happened because this was a more appropriate title for Geoff than for Owen, who has since been referred to as The Big Guy.
 * Noah was originally being labeled as The Schemer, but his character never demonstrated this, probably due to being eliminated so early. Since then, he has instead been labeled as The High IQ.
 * Out of all the contestants, Tyler's stereotype has changed the most out of anyone. He went from The Jock to The Sporto Who Sucks at Sports, which is the complete opposite of his original stereotype.
 * Noah's original stereotype was The Schemer. However, not once in the entire series has he been seen to do any scheming. It is possible that this was given to him due to his high intelligence and, had he lasted longer on Total Drama Island, he might have taken on an antagonistic role. Since then, his stereotype has been changed to The High IQ, which appropriately suggests a non-antagonistic intellectual.
