Bruno



Bruno is a black grizzly bear from Siberia. While not technically a pet, he assumes a guardian role to Bridgette, attacking any one that comes within three feet of her.

Appearances
In Aftermath Aftermayhem, he is shown to apparently be attacking Bridgette, and blocks out the camera which shows Bridgette in Siberia with its paw. The bear is later seen crying about having an injured paw, and Bridgette is shown helping it with its injury. Bridgette calls the bear "Bruno" and insists on staying in Siberia until his paw is healed.

In Hawaiian Style, Bruno follows Bridgette to the Aftermath set. Just when Geoff and Bridgette are about to kiss, Bruno punches Geoff. After scolding the bear, Bridgette explains that Bruno has become possessive and will hurt any one who comes within three feet of her. Even an attempt at touching elbows causes Bruno to growl at Geoff.



After a performance of Who You Gonna Root For?, Geoff gives the microphone to Bridgette and she kisses his cheek. Unfortunately, this causes Bruno to attack Geoff and backhand him into the ocean. Bridgette scolds the bear again and he sulks over to where the Peanut Gallery is sitting, causing everyone to bail except Beth, who is too frightened to leave. Bruno sniffs Beth's hair and starts licking the back of her head. In an effort to calm Bruno down, Harold suggests feeding him Kava tea. Once the tea is ready, Harold is the only one brave enough to give the tea kettle to Bruno, who calms down after drinking. Geoff and Bridgette are about to hug before going to commercial break, resulting in Bruno to strike. However, the tea causes Bruno to become sleepy and merely falls on Geoff instead.

Bruno is restrained for much of the episode until a heavily bandaged Blaineley crashes into the ocean during a surfing challenge. Bruno runs out and rescues her, only for Geoff to note that perhaps the bear likens her to a chew-toy. At this point, Bruno seems to loosen his possessiveness as he's less interested in someone hugging Bridgette than he is gnawing on Blaineley's head.



Trivia

 * Bruno is one of three different bears in Total Drama along with Molotov and the original Bear.
 * The manner in which Bruno backhands Geoff into the ocean is very similar to the way the original Bear attacks Katie and Sadie in Tyler's dream in The Big Sleep.

Goof

 * When Bruno first appears, Harold calls him a Siberian brown bear. However, he actually has black fur.
