This article focuses on the interactions between Priya and Ripper.

Overview

Priya is yet another victim of Ripper’s mistreatment towards his teammates.

Priya and Ripper are placed on the same team, but because of their personalities contrasting as hard as they do, they don't get along too much. This is mainly thanks to Ripper's rude and abrasive behavior. Despite this, Priya attempted to work with him for the sake of winning challenges, ending with mixed results. Because of the way Ripper acted, Priya wanted him gone ever since he bullied the others alongside labeling Priya and the other girls as weak players; the latter frustrating Priya the most. After Ripper used Priya as a human shield in Numbskull Island, Priya's dislike turned into pure hatred, wanting to get him back and kick him off the team. As a result they became adversaries, however, it is more of a one-sided rivalry. Ripper usually focused on Millie, grouping her and Priya as a single entity of nerds. Ripper even tried to help repair her friendship with Millie in the finale and cheered her on to win the season.

While their interactions are more limited in Total Drama Island (2024) due to being on different teams since Priya refused to put Ripper on her team, it is shown Priya still holds a low opinion of him.

Total Drama Island (2023)

Meet the Victims

Priya and Millie are disgusted by Ripper taking his shirt off.

Priya, along with Millie, are disgusted when Ripper ripped his shirt off and flexed his non-existent muscles, he says to them that after he wins the million he'll be out of their league. Whilst Priya and Millie are disgusted, Zee appears to not be bothered by Ripper at all. When Ripper jokingly asks if the cabins are co-ed, Priya is unamused and has no reaction when Axel drops her bag on him.

Drown Town Abbey

Priya wants Ripper gone as soon as possible.

When Chris explains that he has received a lot of letters, most of them filled with vomit for seeing Ripper's butt, Priya, along with the rest of the Ferocious Trout, laugh at an upset Ripper, though Priya does her best to contain her laugh. In the confessional, Priya admitted she wants Ripper gone after he called her and Millie nerds, as well as had sexist opinions on the boys being the stronger competitors for the team.

Numbskull Island

Priya after being used as a shield.

Ripper is upset at Priya and Millie for "lying around" during the challenge. He then picks Priya up and used her as a human shield to get to the skull, making him unstoppable as Priya would endure all harm which came at him. After being hit by boulders, having a plunger stick to her face Priya was understandably really upset, calling him a bad person and wanted him to be off the team, thus, making them rivals. She makes sure that herself, Millie and Scary Girl vote for Ripper. During the elimination ceremony, Priya is angrily glaring at Ripper for what he did. Priya's plan doesn't work however since Millie doesn't stick to her vote since she found Scary Girl creepier than Ripper.

Jurassic Fart

Priya demands that Ripper gives Millie her pillow back.

Even though Priya wanted to grant Damien's wish to get him eliminated, Priya couldn't oblige at the moment, as she prioritized eliminating Ripper. Priya looks grossed out upon Ripper revealing that he is using Millie's pillow to silence his farts. Despite Ripper nearly getting all of them killed by attracting the raptors with his gas, Priya ends up voting for Damien that night out of gratitude for him saving them, unaware that Damien had changed his mind about the competition.

Launch Back of Notre Game

Ripper pointed out that the airhorn Chris blew scared "half a burrito out of him", which disgusted Priya and Millie. Ripper called Priya a nerd, cutting her off when she was talking about how catapults work, and ordering her to toss him which made Priya mad that in the confessional, she says she's going to fling him into the sun before she calms down saying she wants to win.

Severe Eggs and Pains

Priya is not happy that Ripper chucked a baby bird to the ground.

Priya and the rest of the group are confused when Ripper tries to make them recall a big bird they watched when they were kids. Priya, along with Millie and Bowie are surprised and glaring at Ripper after they heard that he "spiked a baby into the ground", he tries to explain himself saying that it was an egg but when it fell it became a bird, but he explains it so poorly that no one really comprehends what he is trying to say.

The Wheel of Vomit

Ripper acknowledges Priya's scathing opinion of him, saying how she wants him gone for using her as a shield. He used this as a motivator to win the challenge no matter what otherwise he's a goner. Later on in the challenge, after Priya notices Chase and Emma having an argument, she asks Ripper about what is happening between them, to which he doesn’t have a clear answer about.

When Ripper and Millie are in the bottom two, Priya admits in the confessional that she voted for Millie that night because she didn't like how Millie took her immunity last episode and for opting out of the challenge. As a result, she feared to have voted off her best friend over Ripper. Ironically, Ripper ends up being the one voted off, much to Priya's relief.

Magma Cum Laude

Priya's happy Ripper is paired up with Millie, calling him "fart monster" and saying they both stink. Despite hating each other, however, Ripper cheers for Priya when she wins.

The Pink Painter Strikes Again

When the choice for her teammates is down to Ripper and Nichelle, Priya chooses the latter to be on her team, stating specifically that at least she didn't use her as a human shield, still clearly harboring personal vendetta against Ripper for doing so.

Choosin' for a Bruisin'

Priya is shocked at hearing Ripper recite poetry to win Axel over.

Fun Fight at the O'Cake Corral

Priya uses Ripper's armpit sweat in an attempt to use it as yeast to make her team's cake rise. Later, Ripper costs Priya's team the challenge when he gives away that his sweat was used to Chris in an attempt to gain some credit for Priya team's seemingly successful win. That night, Ripper and Axel are in danger of elimination and turns out that Priya and her friends voted Axel off over Ripper just because they consider Axel more of a threat than Ripper.

Ripper proudly smirks as Priya explained how she used his armpit sweat.

Circling the Drain
