Screaming Gaffers

The Screaming Gaffers are a team on Total Drama Action. Their symbol is a green light-bulb with crossbones in a green circle. The team was picked by Gwen and consists of herself, Duncan, LeShawna, DJ, Heather and Harold. They appear to be the counterpart to the Screaming Gophers of Total Drama Island. They were undefeated until The Chefshank Redemption. Their team captain, Gwen, was eliminated in this episode after she cost her team the game, as she had been blackmailed into allowing the Killer Grips to win. It is unknown who the new captain will be. Despite their large number of victories, they have only won three challenges with no strings attached (as a number of their challenges were won due to either Trent throwing the challenges or Chef helping DJ).

As of The Sand Witch Project, it is still unclear who is the new team captain. Although it appears Duncan is the new captain as he lead the team through the challenges in The Sand Witch Project, Full Metal Drama, and Ocean's Eight - or Nine. However, the Gaffers were able to resume their victory streak after defeating the Grips in the hospital challenge. Some of the members are taking greater measures to keep Heather under control now that Gwen is gone. In The Sand Witch Project, the Gaffers won the next challenge, but DJ was the next on the team to be eliminated, due to him admitting to everyone about his alliance with Chef Hatchet. Despite this, they have maintained a strong hand against the Killer Grips. In One Million Bucks, B.C., the Killer Grips finally beat the Screaming Gaffers without any strings attached. However, that was a reward challenge so no one was sent home. In Million Dollar Babies, the team lost the sports challenge and Heather was sent home because even though LeShawna had said rude things about the contestants, she cheerleaded for them to show that she still cares about them.
