Cameron and Mike

This article focuses on the interactions between Cameron and Mike.

Overview

Cameron and Mike's friendship is solidified when they help each other in the mines.

Cameron first suspects Mike has multiple personalities in Ice Ice Baby, but does not directly ask him until A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste. Mike admits to his disorder, and Cameron agrees to hide Mike's secret away from Zoey, Mike's crush. Cameron also tries to help Mike control his personalities, leading the two of them to become friends. Meanwhile, Cameron learns how untrustworthy Scott is, and tries to get Mike's help in order to vote him off, but fails as Scott uses the McLean-Brand Chris Head to save himself from the elimination. Knowing how big of a threat the two are, Scott breaks their alliance by voting Mike off in Grand Chef Auto.

Mal manipulates Cameron throughout Total Drama All-Stars.

In Total Drama All-Stars, Cameron and Mike are once again placed on the same team. When Mike is unable to summon any of his personalities and has lapses in his memory, Cameron attempts to help, unaware of his evil personality, Mal. As the season progresses, Mal starts playing mind games with Cameron. This deception makes him believe the other campers are untrustworthy, and refuses to have faith in anyone other than Mike and Zoey. Mal reveals his true identity to him before Cameron leaves the competition due to injury. In The Final Wreck-ening, Cameron is chosen to return to help Zoey compete against Mal. He originally is doubtful Mike has a chance to reclaim control, but is joyful when he proves to be wrong.

Truth or Laser Shark

Cameron is the first to catch on to Mike's condition, observing Mike as he has a conversation with "Chester" in his sleep. During the challenge, Cameron is amazed by Mike's incredible athletic prowess. He even notes how he referred to himself as Svetlana. Mike plays off his lapse in memory and hands the maggot to Cameron so he can continue in the obstacle course.

Cameron further studies Mike's condition enough to know how to bring certain personalities out. When their team finds themselves losing the challenge with their ice fort melting around them, Jo tried to get Mike to become Svetlana and be catapulted over to the enemy team’s fort. Knowing Mike couldn't be able to transform voluntarily, Cameron gave Svetlana a dramatic, announcer-style introduction that instantly caused her to front.

Finders Creepers

Cameron raises his voice to Vito and Anne Maria.

As Cameron attempts to retrieve the first clue from the hole in the tree, Mike encourages him and refers to him as "Cam", in a manner similar to how Zoey encouraged him in the previous episode. Later, after Zoey, Brick, and Jo were taken by the spider, Cameron found himself in charge of the team. He tries to get Mike (who is stuck in his Vito personality) and Anne Maria to stop making out and come help him in the challenge, eventually resorting to yelling at them for the first time ever. This finally gets their attention and they accompany him to the cave.

Backstabbers Ahoy!

Cameron takes notes on Mike's personalities that are active while Mike is asleep.

Cameron is watching Mike interact with his various personalities in his sleep once more, describing him as "a walking, talking psychology book".

A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Cameron and Mike develop a strong friendship in this episode. Mike and Cameron first share the first mine cart as they head down the tracks, and as a result are separated from the others when they hit a fork in the tracks. When Cameron wakes up to find Mike still unconscious, he eventually manages to wake him up by hitting him in the head with a flashlight. Later, as Cameron became weaker due to the radioactivity setting in, Mike carries him on his back. When Mike refers to Cameron as "buddy", Cameron is very happy about finally having a real friend. When Mike sees Cameron and Zoey under attack by a giant mutated gopher, he races over to save them and tries to keep the gopher's jaws from closing. All three of them are saved by Brick, and all of them escape the mines together. Right before the elimination, Cameron talks to Mike behind the Maggots' cabin, telling him that he knows about his Multiple Personality Disorder. Mike is at first devastated about his secret being out, and frantically asks Cameron how he knew, to which Cameron replies that sixteen years in a bubble makes one very observant. He then tells Mike that he can help him control his personalities, in exchange for an alliance between them against new teammate Scott, whom Cameron doesn't trust. Mike is more excited about the chance to control his personalities and pulls Cameron into a tight hug, thanking him vigorously.

Cameron tells Mike that he should tell Zoey about his condition which Mike says he will do (in about ten years).

The two, along with Zoey, then finally motions each other to steal some of the food to take to Sam. During the challenge, Mike later attempts to summon Svetlana for the challenge. After a moment, Cameron asks if she has taken control. Mike sighs and responds that he's still himself. At the elimination ceremony, Mike is concerned when Cameron volunteers for exile.

Moon Madness

At the beginning of the episode, Mike, as Mal, trips Cameron while he is descending from the cabin stairs and breaks his glasses. While everyone believes that it was an accident, Zoey is the only one who saw what Mike had done. After being told by Zoey, Cameron confronts Mike about what happened to which he apologizes and tells Cameron about his inability to transform to his other personalities. Cameron forgives Mike and says he will help him figure out his problem. Under the effects of the Blue Harvest Moon, Mike becomes Mal and leads Cameron away from the group while still pretending to be Mike. As Cameron begins to deduce what may have happened to Mike after Scott hit him in Evil Dread, Mal causes Cameron to slip and tumble down a slope. During the elimination ceremony, Cameron was transferred to the Villainous Vultures when he attempts to leave the island. Cameron then tells Mike that he will find a way to solve his alternate personalities problem, not realizing that he is actually talking to Mal instead of Mike.

When Chris said the teams were merging, Cameron agrees to let Mike into his and Zoey's alliance, but in the confessional he adds "for now", indicating he does not fully trust Mike. Cameron seems aware of the potential of an evil personality and mentions to Zoey that Mike always comes back when she was in danger. During the elimination ceremony, it is revealed that due to an unanimous vote, Cameron is eliminated. Zoey and Cameron both stand up in protest confessing that they didn't vote for Cameron.

In the cabins, Cameron finds the votes underneath Mike's bed but is unsure if "Mike" really did it. The next morning, Mal regains Cameron's trust by warning him that everyone (excluding Zoey) is out to get him, including his new friend, Gwen. The two of them are paired up during the challenge. Inside the mines, Mal encourages Cameron to kiss Courtney in order to pull Scott into their alliance to which he complies. Later, Cameron falls into a hole but manages to hang onto a root. Mal leaves in order to find something to pull him up, but it was revealed that he is going to let Cameron fall to his demise. However, by the time he came back he uses a rock to kill him if he was still hanging, but Cameron had already fallen and Mal believes that there is one less loose end to be worried about. After Cameron was removed from the competition due to his injuries, Mal reveals himself to Cameron and tells him of his true intentions back in the mines, causing Cameron to scream in terror.

Cameron is brought back as one of Zoey's helpers in this episode. When Zoey asks Cameron if there is any chance of Mike returning, Cameron melancholy states he doubts so, and believes Mike may have merely been another alternate personality and is lost forever. After Cameron's bubble accidentally rolls over to Mal's side, he kicks it back and calls Cameron "garbage". During the challenge, Mal picks Cameron up and throws him down to the lower moat. When Mike regains control, Cameron is very happy to see his friend again.
