Harold and Leshawna



The LeShawna and Harold article is about the romantic relationship and attraction between LeShawna and Harold. The relationship officially started in X-Treme Torture, but ended in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. While they are both still attracted to one another (particularly on Harold's part), LeShawna insists that they should just stay friends and not pursue a relationship, even though Harold appears reluctant to accept this.

Overview
The attraction between Harold and LeShawna was a very brief relationship in Total Drama Island. Since they were on different teams, the two had very few opportunities to interact. LeShawna and Harold appear to be the epitome of an "Opposites Attract" couple, including personality traits and race (similar to Duncan and Courtney).

LeShawna personally thinks their love is not meant to be and is much more interested in Justin during Total Drama Action. Harold is still madly in love with her, almost to a delusional point. Duncan (Harold's mortal enemy) has resumed picking on him relentlessly over his lovesickness. LeShawna took notice to this and did not approve of Duncan's actions, thinking Harold doesn't deserve to be treated like a punching bag. She says in the confessionals that she has her eye on Duncan (and later, anyone else who picks on him) and however small and strange Harold is, she still considers him a good friend. Despite claiming not to approve of Harold being picked on, she is seen laughing at him on occasion. And Harold is also a bit mad at LeShawna for lying in One Flu Over the Cuckoos.

As of Total Drama World Tour, LeShawna seems to be more attracted to the newcomer Alejandro, as opposed to Harold. The attraction, supporting and opposing it, is hinted mainly through the beginning of the season. Harold even writes a song for LeShawna around this time. At one point, LeShawna does learn about Alejandro's ways, but this doesn't really change her feelings about Harold. Towards the end of the season, the attraction is still fairly moderate, as Harold still has feelings for LeShawna, but LeShawna doesn't feel quite the same way, although she appears to be returning some of his feelings.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
LeShawna is waving to the campers who have already arrived, and Harold begins gaping at her out of sheer disbelief. LeShawna is attempting a conversation with DJ, but Harold interrupts her by telling her that he'd never seen a girl like her in real life. When she asks him to explain himself, Harold says she is "real big" and "loud" which really sets LeShawna off and almost starts a fight with Harold, though she is held back by DJ and Bridgette. Chris McLean stops the fight and they both assume their positions at the dock for more campers to arrive. LeShawna straightens out her shirt and looks at Harold with discomfort. Harold notices her, but he smiles. It is possible Harold became attracted to LeShawna as early as the first day of camp.

Dodgebrawl
Harold announces that he is about to unleash his "wicked skills" during the first round of dodgeball and LeShawna dares him to prove himself. Harold takes a kung-fu stance and then spikes the ball against the ground hard enough to make the arena shake. The ball itself, however, does not go very far and simply rolls to LeShawna's feet. She picks it up and grins evilly while Harold immediately starts to retreat, screaming like a girl the entire way. Without much hesitation, LeShawna smashes the ball into Harold's cheek and sends him flying face first into the wall. After Harold was out, LeShawna tells him that's how they roll. Harold's pathetic performance in this round makes the rest of the Killer Bass team refuse to allow him to play in any other rounds until the final one.

If You Can't Take The Heat...
LeShawna saw Harold naked along with all the other girls when Duncan, Geoff, and DJ pushed his bed out in front of them while they were swimming. Aside from Courtney, LeShawna is the only one who teasingly greeted him as he woke up.

X-Treme Torture
Gwen and Bridgette find a love poem in the form of a haiku and they try to find out who wrote it and who it was for, thinking it might be for them from their crushes (Trent and Geoff, respectively). Eventually, they find out that the poem was for LeShawna. Harold is the one voted off the island in this episode, but before he boards the Boat of Losers, he admits that he wrote the poem, insisting he meant every word of it. LeShawna is touched that Harold did this, as she had been getting love poems from him anonymously in the past throughout the competition. She rushes towards him on the Dock of Shame and the two embrace. They finally kiss before Chef Hatchet drags Harold onto the boat and off the island. When LeShawna realizes that Heather (inadvertently) flashed her breasts at Harold earlier that day, she attacks her, and Heather runs screaming off into the night.

Haute Camp-ture
At Playa Des Losers, Harold expresses his feelings on the relationship, telling the viewers that at first he thought she was very loud, but now knew that they were soulmates. Later, when all the campers are sitting around the pool, Harold wishes for LeShawna to win (as she is in the Final Five at this point). When Courtney accidentally votes for LeShawna to be voted off, Harold attacks her, believing she's voting for her only to spite him (due to him getting Courtney voted off earlier on in the season).

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Their relationship seems to end in this episode. Harold is seen flexing his (virtually nonexistent) muscles for LeShawna, to which she doesn't have the heart to tell him he has no muscle what so ever, so she goes along with it and she asks if he was working out. He was flattered that she noticed, and he jumps into her arms and hands her flowers. However, LeShawna tells him that she thinks their relationship moved way too fast and the kiss on the dock was just a fleeting emotional moment due to Harold's elimination and LeShawna finding out about her secret admirer just as he was about to leave her. Harold asks if they can still be friends, and LeShawna says they are very close friends. Unfortunately, Harold misinterprets this as her still being in love with him and promptly asks if she would like to make out with him behind the bushes. An offended LeShawna angrily asks if he was even listening to her and then leaves to join her other friends. Harold calls out to LeShawna that he'll win her over eventually, saying he is still in love with her. In a confessional, Harold tells the viewers that he and LeShawna will likely hook up after the show and move in together in his mother's basement when they're thirty years old. Near the end of the episode, LeShawna chases Heather off the dock in a four-wheeler (Harold happened to be right with her at the time, since no one else would accept them as teammates). While a highly-frazzled Heather announces that LeShawna is crazy, Harold happened to find the situation awesome.

Monster Cash
When the contestants got off the bus, Gwen bumped into Harold, causing him to bump into LeShawna. He apologizes, but LeShawna says no harm was done. Later, during the race to the trailers, LeShawna comes across Harold hiding in an umbrella. She opens the umbrella and pulls him out, telling him that they have a challenge to win. The monster catches them and drops them into bouncy cage. As they bounce, Harold exclaims he loves LeShawna, to which she replies, "Say what now?!"

Alien Resurr-eggtion
Harold and LeShawna are walking side-by-side when suddenly, something frightens Harold and he leaps back into LeShawna's arms. He remains frightened for a moment, then realizes where he is and smiles at her. In the confessional, LeShawna tells the audience that he's just "having a hard time getting over the lusciousness that is LeShawna" and that it wasn't meant to be. Harold, on the other hand, does not feel at all the same and says that LeShawna is not yet over him (although she broke up with him in the first place) and claims that he's seen the way she looks at him. Harold seems to be delusional over the matter, thinking she's actually undressing him with his eyes. He then swoons over her eyes, calling them beautiful, like chocolate almonds.

Beach Blanket Bogus
Harold tried to impress LeShawna with his "ten-pack" during the surfboard challenge, which failed as LeShawna simply shook her head at him. She later complained when Harold took charge of the sandcastle challenge and didn't understand or care about Harold's source of inspiration for sandcastle-building, but was impressed with the large and detailed sandcastle Harold ended up building for their team. When LeShawna was in the dance contest against Trent, Harold was the only castmate on the Screaming Gaffers team to not make fun of the way she was dancing. He even called it funky and said that he loved it.

3:10 to Crazytown
Throughout this episode, Duncan is constantly picking on Harold. It first begins with him tripping Harold into a bin of water. LeShawna says in a confessional that she looks out for her friends and that Harold is one of them, and says she'll keep an eye on Duncan. Later, after the Screaming Gaffers win the challenge, Duncan ties Harold up with his rope, and LeShawna is seen glaring (although Duncan and Harold are off-screen). After Duncan pushes Harold over while he is bathing in the barrel, LeShawna angrily asks in the confessional why Duncan is picking on Harold. This episode shows that while LeShawna still may not have any romantic feelings towards Harold, she has become protective of him and still thinks of him as a good friend.

The Chefshank Redemption
Harold cheered LeShawna on when she dug her team underground in the prison-film challenge. At one point, after Gwen hits Harold on the head with a golden shovel, Harold begins to have a crush on her, though he doesn't want anyone else to know. However, later, after Gwen votes herself off, Harold admits in the confessionals that, to him, according to 'prison rules,' if Gwen had stayed in the game, Harold would either have had to hit her with a shovel or fall in love with her, and he refused to do either option, so, as of now, Harold is unwilling to pursue a relationship with Gwen.

Also, during the Confessionals, LeShawna said that she regretted voting Gwen off, but she was angry at Gwen for hitting Harold with a shovel, and voted her off to stick up for him.

One Flu Over the Cuckoos
Throughout the episode, LeShawna shows more of a protective, motherly side toward Harold. She sticks up for Harold when Duncan continues to harass him and tries to calm him down. She even offers to form an alliance with Duncan and Harold, but she feels unappreciated when they both utterly refuse. Harold assures her that if it were an alliance with simply LeShawna, that he would definitely accept, once and over again, but because Duncan was involved there was no possibility of it happening. At one point, most of the cast begin to feel sick, including Harold, and LeShawna tries to comfort him. Harold in the confessional booth says that he was cured of most diseases that he contracted, but nothing can cure his love for LeShawna.

The Sand Witch Project
When LeShawna states that she knew something was wrong with Chef interfering in challenges (due to Chef's Illegal Alliance), Harold claimed she was like Albert Einstein, only with better hair and "girly bits".

Masters of Disasters
Owen is being driven to the hospital with a shattered jaw. As they show the contestants looking on with worry, LeShawna is seen tenderly standing next to Harold. Later on, during the second part of the challenge, Harold states that he knows how to pick a lock, and LeShawna admits that Harold has "mad skills" which Harold responded to by awkwardly thanking her, as if he was embarrassed. Not long after, the water begins to get frightfully high and LeShawna begins to freak out that it might really be the end. Harold comforts her, putting a hand on her shoulder, telling her that she doesn't have to cry and that assuring her that he would save her. LeShawna snaps at him for assuming she cried. It is then brought to Duncan and Heather's attention that LeShawna was only pretending to cry to get the reward and try to fight with her, swearing revenge. Harold isn't mad at LeShawna at all and reminds everyone that LeShawna is always there to listen to everyone's stories and how supportive she is. He swims in front of her to stop Duncan and Heather from hitting her. He then remembers that he has a stash of bendy straws in his pocket. LeShawna helps him make a snorkel with them and Harold saves everyone's lives thanks to her help.

Full Metal Drama
At the beginning of the episode, LeShawna offers Harold her place to go to the bathroom, which Harold accepts, unlike the other Gaffers, who still hold a grudge against LeShawna. During the Challenge, however, she is among the people who laugh at him while Duncan makes fun of him, and tells him that the team is better off following Duncan's plan over his. Despite this, Harold attempts to comfort LeShawna when she has digestive issues. This is very similar to childbirth, with LeShawna being the wife and Harold being the husband. Though, he does become annoyed with her as her farts fills up their hideout with noxious gas.

The Aftermath: II
During the "That's Gonna Leave A Mark," LeShawna hit Gwen with a spoon after she hit Harold with a shovel, leaving a swollen bruise on Gwen's forehead. The sight of it caused Harold to faint. The footage of Owen being wheeled into the ambulance truck is technically re-shown, only in blooper form where Owen ends up rolling into a sewer. Like the original scene, LeShawna is shown to be embracing Harold as they both watch on.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine
Harold said in the confessional that ever since One Flu Over the Cuckoos, he's known that LeShawna was a "Bad, selfish person" who only looks out for herself. He starts to trail off, however, talking about how "bad" she is. Duncan and Heather later convince Harold to leave LeShawna in the vault, where she stays for the entire episode.

One Million Bucks, B.C.
LeShawna was the only one to save Harold from prehistoric beavers. She constantly calls him pet names such as "baby" and "sweetie" throughout the episode. In the second challenge she tries to calm him down when the prehistoric beavers come back. Both tried to cook the egg Chris gave them as a consolation prize together at the end of the episode. When cooking the egg, LeShawna calls Harold "sweetie".

Million Dollar Babies
Harold was deeply hurt by what LeShawna said behind his back. LeShawna says Harold is still sweet on her but he is not getting any play. He called her "LeTraitor" and "Le-Benedict Arnold." He would have come up with more but he was so hurt that he could not. He later forgives LeShawna after she did a cheer and says that she still has her eye on Harold. Harold admits he is still hooked on LeShawna, and as a result, spares LeShawna from being eliminated, teaming up with her and Duncan to vote out Heather.

Dial M for Merger
There aren't many signs that LeShawna and Harold like each other, but Harold agrees to make an alliance with her and Duncan.

Super Hero-ld
Harold turned his back on LeShawna's new alliance along with Duncan when they and Justin went to form the new Guys' Alliance. During the superhero challenge, LeShawna was thoroughly impressed by Harold's performance and quick timing, and mentioned feeling light-headed as she watched him competing, though it may have been his farting that got to her. Later, the boys, with help from Courtney, trick Harold into voting LeShawna off, a decision he deeply regretted when she was subsequently eliminated. Harold begged for forgiveness, and LeShawna showed no hard feelings whatsoever against him. She left the show telling Harold to have confidence, to stand up for himself, to kick Duncan's butt, and that she would root for him on the sidelines.

The Aftermath: III
LeShawna admits to still have feelings for Harold, saying that she finds his "little man biceps" irresistible, although when she said she had no feelings the shock chair didn't shock her. Despite saying that she likes him, LeShawna said that she had no interest in a real relationship.

The Princess Pride
Harold creates a burrito in the shape of LeShawna. During the first challenge, he shouted that it was for her as he was charging across the bridge. He asks Chris for one of Princess Courtney's CDs, saying that the song reminds him of LeShawna. When listening to it in the confessional, he receives a note from LeShawna saying if that song reminds him of her, she will have to kill him.

Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen
Harold's love for LeShawna seems to have hit a delusional high point in this episode. After releasing the snails that Duncan put in his bed, Harold finds one that reminds him of LeShawna. He later lists all their shared qualities: both have beautiful eyes and a hard shell. He names the snail LeShawna Jr. and puts in a matchbox next to his bed. During the training portion of the challenge Duncan tries to bring out Harold's anger by saying he kissed LeShawna. Harold was so angry that he punched through the punching bag. During the retrieve the bonsai challenge, Harold splashes Duncan's water in his face then punches him in the face after he made fun of LeShawna. He also releases LeShawna Jr. when he thinks that she tells him to, unlike how he was unwilling to let LeShawna go when she said that they were meant to be friends.

2008: A Space Owen
Even though Beth starts to develop feelings for Harold, Harold says that it would never work because he "couldn't do that to LeShawna and Heather", implying he believes both are attracted to him.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
When they are sleeping, Harold and LeShawna are seen sleeping back-to-back. Harold and LeShawna both advance over to Total Drama World Tour. As the two were in the confessional together, Harold heads over to LeShawna to hug her, but she gets uncomfortable and she pushes him over and asks him why he did that. Harold said that he only did it to form an alliance with her, to which LeShawna angrily rejects.

They are later placed on Team Victory, along with DJ, Lindsay, Bridgette and Ezekiel.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
When Harold was upset that their team color was yellow, LeShawna calmed him down by saying it was the color gold. LeShawna jumped into Harold's arms when he mentioned there might be deadly sand snakes hiding which he promised to protect her from.

Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan
LeShawna begins to fall for the charms of Alejandro in this episode, similar to how easily she was swooned by Justin in Total Drama Action. When Alejandro starts flirting with LeShawna, Harold doesn't seem bothered. Harold tells DJ that he prefers to "leave the ladies wanting more" to which DJ responds "Oh she wants more all right, more Alejandro." LeShawna scolds Harold after his yelling at Chris gets everyone launched out of the plane. When Team Victory's commercial is shown, LeShawna says that the team should have done Lindsay's idea, angering Harold. LeShawna considered voting for Harold or DJ. When Harold quits the show, he says that he'll miss LeShawna more than anybody else, but LeShawna seems not to mind.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
LeShawna is shown to miss Harold as she is seen sentimentally holding a pair of Num-Yos he left her, however, when the plane lands in the Yukon, LeShawna hugs Alejandro for warmth. While DJ was pulling the sled, LeShawna told Lindsay of all the compliments Harold gave her.

When LeShawna was done singing, Harold complimented her dancing and called her "LeGoddess." LeShawna responded by calling him "Ginger Baby-cakes."

Aftermath Aftermayhem
Both were sitting next to each other and high-fived each other when LeShawna won the bet against Trent. LeShawna dedicated her boxing match against a kangaroo to Harold, but when telling him so, she was caught off guard and knocked out. Harold tried to regain her honor but lost quickly too.
