Don

Don is the host of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.

Personality
Don seems to be indifferent to the risks of putting the contestants through dangerous challenges. Despite being indifferent to the dangerous challenges, he does show legitimate concern for the well-being of the contestants. Though he does like to mess with some of the teams once in a while, like the Vegans and the Ice Dancers. However, as seen in Hello and Dubai, this trait is less pronounced in Don than in Chris. Like Chris, Don is a narcissist who often comments on his looks, claiming that he will lose his gracefulness if they were to be altered. Unlike Chris, though, Don is actually fair to the competitors as he makes sure that they thoroughly follow the rules, and is considerably less sadistic. He does not hesitate to penalize any rule breakers, even if it means not disqualifying his least favorite pair for being antagonistic throughout the race.

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race
In None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1, Don is in Toronto, the starting point of the competition, atop a historic train station, and introduces the competition itself and the pairs of contestants involved. After all of the contestants have been introduced, Don explains to them the first elements of the Race and that they will be going around the world for the grand prize of $1,000,000. He tells the contestants they will end each leg of the race at the Chill Zone and the last team to stand on the Carpet of Completion may face elimination. When Don starts the race, the contestants all run toward him, forcing him to take evasive action to protect his look. After the contestants get to the second Don Box, he introduces an Either/Or challenge: Stairs or Scares. After all the contestants complete the first half of the leg, he assigns them to three flights heading to Morocco in the order of their arrival and subsequently signs off the episode.

In None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 2, Don arrives in Morocco, awaiting the contestants to arrive. The first, second, and third flight arrive respectively. Once some of the contestants hit the Don Box, he introduces a new element in the Race called a Botch or Watch, where one contestant from each duo competes in the challenge. He explains that each team has to pick spices to use to consume a Moroccan stew that one of them will drink later. Don later congratulates the Best Friends for being the first team to arrive at the Chill Zone. He tells the audience the next fourteen teams that reached the Chill Zone, and later scolds the LARPers for trying to use magic in an attempt to not come in last and eliminates them from the race.

In French is an Eiffel Language, Don imposes the first time penalty on the Reality TV Pros for not using the cheese as a boat as the challenge indicated. Don briefly bickers with Gerry over whether or not his feet were on the mat. Ultimately, Don wins the argument as he forces Gerry and his teammate to leave the race.

In Mediterranean Homesick Blues, as Don explains the beach challenges, a crab pulls on his swimsuit, injuring his groin. Don stops the Ice Dancers from getting the first tip, as the Cadets are suppose to do so. This foreshadows some conflict between Don and the Ice Dancers in later episodes. When some teams are arriving at the Chill Zone, Don imposes a time penalty on two teams. The first team being Father and Son, due to Dwayne reading the clue before arriving to the shore. The second team being the Fashion Bloggers, as they traveled by yacht instead of a train to the beach. At the end, Don arrives in a helicopter to tell the Geniuses that they are out of the race and is excited about being in a helicopter.

In Bjorken Telephone, Don is involved in the All-In challenge as the team must hear Don's Icelandic phrase and say it to a Icelandic local at the other end of the geyser field. When the Goth finish to the Chill Zone first, Don tries to encourage them to celebrate their victory. But the Goth's lack of reaction causes Don to dismiss them as 'bad kid', creating his dislike of them as he believe they are ruining the race. When the Vegans finished in last place, Don announces that it's a non-elimination round and the Vegans is still in the race. However, this angers Laurie, who believes she went against her principles for nothing, and beats him up. He quickly dismisses the show, stating that the next race is in Brazil.

In Brazilian Pain Forest, Don hosts with a black left eye, inflicted by Laurie in the previous episode. He imposes a time penalty on the Vegans as Miles sewed both parts of custom, leading to their elimination in the end.

In A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket, Don is seen fully recovered from his injury. He displays his athletic ability during the explanation of the gymnastic challenge but keeps getting injured in the groin by a football. Don imposes a time penalty on the Goth for switching places in the coffin challenge.

In Hawaiian Honeyruin, Don intervenes in an argument between Ryan and Stephanie by stating that it's a non-elimination round and they still remain in the race.

In Hello and Dubai, Don shows his concern for the contestants when one of the challenge involves cleaning window in a very windy condition, causing him to question if it's legal to do it and be surprised by the response.

In New Beijinging, the Rockers arrive in last place, though Don announces that it's another non-elimination round, making them safe and still in the race.

In I Love Ridonc and Roll, as Don explains the challenge, his towel unwraps leaving him fully nude in the sauna.

In My Way or Zimbabwe, Don checks each team's selfies. When he checks the Surfer Dudes' photo, he asks how Geoff kept his hat on during his fall, to which Geoff responds that he uses white stallion glue to keep his hat on.

In Shawshank Ridonc-tion, Don introduces a new aspect of the race which is the boomerangs. He explains that the boomerangs are used to send another team back to do the previous challenge again. While explaining the challenge, he tells that the first team to arrive in the Chill Zone gets a phone call to home. The Best Friends arrive in first place but when Devin finds out that his girlfriend dumped him for her tennis instructor, he starts crying on Don's shoulder.

In Down and Outback, Don finds it too depressing to watch Devin cry so he places a paper bag on him with a picture of a happy Devin. When determining who came in second last place between the Rockers and Stepbrothers, Don is seen reviewing it on his device and announces that the Stepbrothers arrive in last place. But he suddenly declares that the Rockers are also eliminated along with the Stepbrothers, making this episode the first double-elimination round. When questioned by Rock on why he wasted time reviewing the footage, Don states that he simply forgot that this was a double-elimination round.

In Maori or Less, Don is seen unprepared when the Ice Dancers arrive to the Chill Zone too fast, asking them if they skipped the challenge. After they tell him they already finished it, he quickly states they won and goes back to his makeup.

In Little Bull on the Prairie, the Surfer Dudes celebrate their first place victory by jumping with joy along with Don, who displays no joy. When the Father and Son team arrive in last place, Don says that he is happy to say something before being interrupted by Dwayne who thinks that this is a non-elimination round. But Don says that it isn't and that he forgot what he wanted to say.

In Lord of the Ring Toss, Don allows Stephanie to boomerang themselves, forcing them to do the ring challenge again. When Don announces to the Ice Dancers that they are in second place, Josee responds by destroying Don's snowman (known as "Chilly Billy"), making Don sad and cry "BILLY!".

In Got Venom, the narwhals are angered about the ring toss challenge that has taken place in the previous episode and blow up all of one plane's wheels, forcing Don to get all of the teams on the last plane regardless of their placement. When Don finds out that the Surfer Dude's tube has extinguishers foam instead of Komodo dragon's saliva, he makes them do the challenge again and threatens them that if they do this again, they will be out of the race. This was the biggest threat made by Don to a team.

In Dude Buggies, while Don introduces the challenge, the lion roars at him, terrifying Don. He is scared when the goths win again, questioning how they can be so quiet.

In El Bunny Supremo, it starts off by Don introducing the challenge. Towards the end of the episode, he gives the Ice Dancers a 10 minute penalty due to not arriving to the Chill Zone with their burros.

In Ca-Noodling, Don featured a special feature called "Super-Team", where 3 teams make 1 team. And he also featured "Zip-It Ticket", where the Super-Team go to the Chill Zone directly instead of going to the second challenge.

In How Deep is Your Love, Jacques and Josee sabotaged another team, but despite this, Don did not penalize them because he probably didn't saw it.
