Dwayne Junior (Ridonculous Race)

Description

Dwayne Jr. "Junior" was a Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race contestant as a member of The Father & Son with Dwayne. Junior loves his father, but is getting to an age where he's starting to think of him as embarrassing. He's cool with participating in the race, because he could win a million bucks and he also gets to miss school. However, rather than listen to his dad's boring stories, he prefers to listen to his music instead. Junior does his best to look cool while he's on TV. Unfortunately, Dwayne accidentally reveals embarrassing secrets about him, including showing a pair of his "lucky" underwear on TV during an interview. Junior develops a crush on Carrie in Mediterranean Homesick Blues. Later in the season, he begins to appreciate the efforts of his father. When they are finally eliminated in Little Bull on the Prairie, he hugs his dad and thanks him for the experience. Junior is one of 14 characters who wears a hat as part of their regular outfit. The others being Chef Hatchet, Ezekiel, Geoff, DJ, B, Shawn, Jasmine, Damien, MK, Wayne, Zee, Laurie, and MacArthur. Junior is one of 14 contestants to have blonde hair, the others being Lindsay, Bridgette, Geoff, Owen, Blaineley, Dakota, Emma, Dawn, Jo, Carrie, Sugar, Amy, and Samey. Junior is one of the only male characters to wear a necklace. The others being Alejandro, Brick, Lightning, Geoff, Bowie, Caleb, Chris, Justin, Mike (as Vito), Ennui, Damien, Devin, Rock, Ripper, Ryan, and Duncan. Father and Son are the first team ever to compete in the Ridonculous Race as they collected the first Travel Tip and were the first team to climb the stairs in None Down, Eighteen to Go—Part 1. At the age of 13, Junior is the youngest contestant in the Total Drama franchise. It’s a running gag for Junior to facepalm at Dwayne embarrassing him or messing things up. Junior's speech of not wanting to lose early despite his dislike of being in the Race mirrors Gwen from Not So Happy Campers—Part 2. Junior's birthday is revealed to be on October 28th, as confirmed by Fresh TV. This makes him one of four characters to have their birthday revealed, the others being Chef, Chris, and Cody.
