Daunte, labeled The Skeptic, was a camper on Total Drama Island, as a member of the Screaming Gophers.

Total Drama Island
Daunte was the first camper to arrive on the island in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, smiling. He questions if there is an Internet connection, so he can post online about his life on the show, to which McLean denies. He later asks what kind of food they'll be receiving, if the challenges would be safe, how much other campers are there, and a few other questions, which all annoy Chris McLean who silences him. He happily greets the other campers, and instantly becomes friends with Bridgette and Cody, but is later threatened by Eva. He later doubts her threats, and questions whether she really has the skill to do it, and to his surprise, she shoves him into the lake. He is later quiet until Justin arrives, and is confused as to how everyone is so attracted to him. He doubts that he has his muscles and looks naturally, and that he used surgery and other requirements, much to his surprise, Justin shows him some fineprint which explains that he his fully natural. He is later placed on the Screaming Gophers. He isn't seen talking again throughout the episode, but is shocked when the first challenge is announced.

At the top of the cliff in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, he along with the rest of the campers are filled with shock. He is doubtful that Chris would make them jump, as it would end up with plenty of lawsuits. When no one on his team is willing to jump first, he offers to do it, and lands in the safe zone. He is exuberant at the fact that he survived it with no injuries, only for Owen to come jumping off the cliff, and landing on him. He is shown cheering for his team when Chris announces the Gopher's victory, and is relieved that they get wheelbarrows to drag the crates to the campsite. Daunte is shown to be quite useless as building, constantly nailing the planks into the wrong direction. Later, his team loses, and they are sent to the first elimination ceremony of the night. While discussing who should be eliminated, he nominates Justin, whom suggests him to his team as well in retaliation, but Daunte denies his beauty. At the bonfire ceremony, Daunte is shocked and shown to be depressed after being in the bottom to, but he is happy when he is given the last marshmallow, and waves goodbye to Justin.

He is awoken by Chris along with the other campers in The Big Sleep, and accidentally knocks his head into the bunk above his. After finding out that they won't be receiving breakfast, he isn't exactly pleased. During the run, Daunte is one of the last of his team to make it to the Main Lodge. He is stoked when they can all eat the buffet, and completely pigs out, and even ignores his questioning of whether it's a good idea as Chris probably has something set up for then. When the Awake-A-Thon is announced, he was annoyed that he didn't go along with his instincts, and figures out that the run and buffet was supposed to make it harder for them to stay awake. Daunte does reasonably well, and is asked by Heather to join an alliance with her, Beth and Lindsay, to which he accepts. He is one of the last remaining members of his team to be awake, and he comments about this due to him staying up all night to search things up on the Internet. He wins against Duncan, thus gaining his team the victory, and Eva is voted off.
