Trivia
- Blaineley is the only contestant in the series to have never been given an official label.
- Noah's original label was "The Schemer" but during his time on the show, he does little (if any) scheming.
- It is worth noting that, with the Total Drama Action flipbook, Geoff has inherited Owen's original label as "The Party Guy." As of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, he is now one of the Surfer Dudes, much like Bridgette's label.
- Heather has her original hairstyle in the lineup for Total Drama Action despite being bald in the season.
- Ezekiel is noticeably absent from the Total Drama World Tour lineup.
- The character lineup for Total Drama: Pahkitew Island shows prototype designs for the season's cast instead of their actual in-show designs.
- Bowie and Zee had the same label on Facebook before Zee's was fixed.
