**Thomas J. Lagrosse** is the host and main antagonist for the first half of Total Drama Muerto Island, he later comes to the realization that these campers are just kids; some who need help, so he turns over a new leaf to be better for them. He is also the host of Total Drama Island and has continued to be a nicer host with rare cohosts in his seasons. He is absent from Total Drama Action and was presumably fired. Thomas returns as the main host for Total Drama World Tour, with Chris McLean as his cohost.

## Personality

Thomas is first seen as a close minded, mean and slightly aggressive guy. He regularly was seen picking on Dawn, and other campers during the first few episodes of Total Drama Muerto Island. He is seen also a deeply wounded and conflicted person fighting his own demons, and using this show as a way to reinvent himself from his family. Over time he slowly begins to warm up and we see his truer colors as not a deeply wounded and mean, closed off guy. But rather a light hearted, helpful and kind meaning person. Around Episode 6-7 of Total Drama Muerto Island, with the help of Wendy Truitt and William he decides to make the change he needs for these campers, seeing a lot of himself in them. He becomes much more loving, and the challenges become less dangerous and more about fun and excitement. He begins to accept gifts and is even seen wearing the Flower Crown from William and stickers that were put on him in one episode. He slowly comes to realize that the world around him isn't monsters and people coming after him and he no longer needs to always be on the offensive all the time. The campers showed him that their is more to the world when you don't blind and deafen yourself.

During Total Drama Island this trend continues as well. He is seen much happier and cheerier, with William now also being his adopted son. During these times he is seen coming up with some dangerous challenges, but a lot of them became that way from other means such as Pastel McCallian's cursed idol. He is seen to be the same fun loving, and carefree guy but also lets his other side show some, such as when he shoots Austin in the crotch or laughs at others misfortunes. He is also seen to be deeply sorry to many people and still carries the guilt around from Muerto Island, such as how he treated Dawn, or when he pushed Mel. Lately he is seen to be sadder as he knows his time as hosting could be coming to a close soon.

Soon after his firing from Total Drama, he fell into a deep depression. After visits with the doctors and medication to combat this he is trying to live a new life and has went back to preforming with the Wiggles. He still has a huge hole in his heart from his time hosting and wishes nothing more to go back. He is slowly moving on.

## Total Drama Muerto Island

**This Place Sucks!:** Thomas is the first person seen on the show. His hair flowing in the wind thanks to a portable fan. He introduces the show and we get our first glimpse into how rude he initially was when he talks to Dawn, his cohost for the season. He first introduces Jupiter, but misgenders them much to his dismay as he says his show is going to get cancelled. He laughs at Avalons mess up and says they can talk to the doctor (Jupiter). He then introduces the next contestant and after a wicked sick backflip from her, he offers a high five saying it was awesome! He gets angry at Dawn and says they will talk later before getting annoyed with Isaac, then later is shocked at the conjoined twins. He takes a puff off his cigarette after meeting Zachary and says this whole show was a mistake. Allie returns his confidence and he shoves William into the water after he spooks him. When he meets Wendy, he immiedately likes her firey spirit. He welcomes Luca with sketpicism and Auggie with confusion. He appears annoyed at Sebastian for having no intro ready and compliments Valentina's blonde hair. He then announces the game and the cash prize to everyone. He first introduces the moldy, cockroach infested cabins. One of the cabins collapse and he later is seen at the elimination area, which is just a few moldy tree stumps and an oil barrel to serve as a stand. He then leds them to the rec room, where a single lightbulb lights the moldy room. He goes to the communial washrooms and gags at the smell. Lastly is the cafeteria, the only sort of nice place. He then ends the first part of the episode there, the second part will pick up next episode!

## Total Drama Island

**Not So Happy Campers:**

Sometime in between the end of Total Drama Island and the start of Action, Thomas receives a letter in the mail from the Reality Network. It reads:

*"In consideration to the network and based on previous actions and stunts pulled on both Total Drama Muerto Island and Total Drama Island (many of the fires we put out for you on the legal side), you have been hereby fired from your hosting spot on the show. We already have another host in the works, you should look for employment elsewhere. Please do not contact us again, your termination is indefinitely. We will also not give out any of the previous contestants information to you and they will be wiped from your phone."*

He is fired from his hosting duties, due to events that took place during Total Drama Muerto Island and Total Drama Island. He is to be replaced with a new host, and as such should look for employment elsewhere due to no longer being able to come back. It is presumed he decides to start back work with The Wiggles.

## Total Drama Action

Thomas is not present this season, his replacement; Chris McLean has since taken over. It is unsure if he will return in the future. For now he is only seen through people mentioning him and flashbacks.

During a WATN scene we do see he has resumed work for the Wiggles whilst Total Drama Action is taking place and he also started taking anxiety medication to try to deal with the guilt of getting fired and putting the kids through what he did.
