Jack is a contestant on Total Deception Island labeled **The Adventurer**. He returns to host Total Drama: The Next Generation.

## Biography

Jack's middle name isn't 'adventure', but it should be. He's been all around the world with his adventurous family members, some of whom happen to be archaeologists. He's been to the pyramids of Egypt, the Amazonian jungles, and the top of Mount Everest. Jack may have no fear, but he also doesn't have much of an attention span. If Jack isn't being supervised he's diving into shark infested waters, climbing the side of a building, or sticking his head inside an alligator's mouth. Jack loves the wilderness more than anything, and likes to go somewhere wild whenever he can.

Jack views the Total Drama series as another adventure. He looks forward to the challenges and hopes that the season takes place in an exotic location.

## Total Deception Island

Jack first appeared in a tree. He was soon swimming in the lake, returning with a fish in his mouth. He eventually gave the fish to LeVar. Jack showed that he didn't have much of an attention span, easily being distracted by adventure.

As Yuko attempted to observe Michaiah, Jack interrupted her. He mistook her interest in Michaiah as a crush. Jack walked up to Michaiah and told him that Yuko had a crush on him. Yuko stood up from her hiding spot in the bushes in order to protest.

Jack showed disappointment with having to go inside at night. He decided to have Michaiah write down his secret for him, so he could start staying out of doors. It was revealed to everyone that Jack had been raised by a tribe in Africa, after he was orphaned.

Jack would also hang out with Prescott. When LeVar tried to threaten Jack into giving him the ornament around his neck, Prescott stood up to LeVar. The guys bonded further when Prescott joined Jack in the tent outside. Prescott agreed to join Jack when he returned to Africa. Jack then went on a hyper, sugar induced rampage. Prescott was the next voted out, which confused Jack. Prescott explained that he asked to be voted out. Prescott assured that his main goal in joining the competition was making a friend, and Jack assured him that he had.

Even after they parted, Jack was still disheartened by Prescott's elimination. Jack was comforted by a mysterious figure that referred to himself as the Masked Tuxedo. When he learned it was Trevor he commented that he thought it was cool and courageous. Brody and Jack bonded over adventure, when Brody wanted to hang out with someone. They explored an underwater cavern and found treasure.

After Vinnie's elimination, Jack really started to feel guilty. He expressed his dislike of the voting element of the program. After losing the virtual reality challenge, Jack was voted out. He really didn't mind since he wasn't enjoying himself, and he felt that joy in life comes from tackling wildlife and catching stuff with his teeth.

## Total Drama: The Next Generation

Jack returned to the series to serve as host after the show's ten year hiatus. He is revealed to have had a successful reality show hosting career since his time on Total Deception Island.
