Bowie is a supporting antagonist in the Total Drama franchise, serving as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Julia) of the 2023 reboot of Total Drama Island and a supporting character in the following season.
He is the first openly gay contestant of Total Drama who proves to be quite cunning and strategic.
He was voiced by Brandon Michael Arrington.
What Makes Him Magnificent?[]
- His introduction foreshadows his charisma when revealing he was both prom king and queen in high school.
- Despite his manipulative and competitive nature, he is genuinely friendly with his fellow contestants and willing to make friends or form relationships with them, also preferring to wait until after the competition so he wouldn't ruin them by plotting the eliminations of others.
- He shows other standards in his competitiveness and villainy, disapproving of cheating, revealing secrets, Chase's horrible treatment of Emma, and MK belittling Nichelle with sarcastic comments.
- He intentionally loses the pole challenge to take the phone that MK used to record confessionals, so he could learn everyone's (specifically Julia's) weaknesses. From this, he finds out about Millie negatively judging the other contestants behind their backs in her notebook and uses this information to drive a wedge between Priya and Millie, ultimately causing the latter's elimination.
- He makes an alliance with Julia while secretly in an alliance with Priya and Millie, and double-crosses Julia by voting her off when the other alliance wins. Given that Julia is far more crueler and spiteful than him, this scheme hardly comes across as despicable.
- In the second season of the reboot, he accepts his elimination with dignity and holds no hate for his fellow contestants except Julia.
- He plays a major role in Wayne's victory in the reboot's second season finale, encouraging him and Raj to stay focused in the challenge.
What Makes Him a Baddie?[]
- He convinced the other contestants to vote off Caleb because he saw him as a potential threat, even though he had done nothing wrong.
- He delivered Millie's notebook to Priya as a present and tore out the last page in which Millie wrote she feels bad for everything she wrote, ruining their friendship until Priya learns about the page.
Trivia[]
- He is the only Total Drama character to be a Magnificent Baddie.
