## Total Drama: Worst of the Worst

When Evan arrived on the island, he rode his skateboard down the dock. Chris introduced him as being polyamorous. Angelo asked what the term meant, and it was explained as Evan being infamous for dating multiple women at once. He did assure that he was single at the present time, and tried to deflect the subject by doing a kick flip. Midair, a recently arrived Dirk pushed Evan down to the dock. When Evan’s friend Luke arrived, his handshake brought the pro skater to his knees. Luke asked if his mom approved of his being on the show this time, Evan assured that he was now able to make the choice himself. Luke slapped him on the back, which again made him fall over.

After teams were divided by gender, Evan attempted to comfort a sullen Frederick. Evan described himself as being used to being surrounded by women. He extended a hand for a high five, which Frederick ignored. Dirk, however, squeezed Evan’s hand, hurting him. Evan stated in confessional that he didn’t think Dirk liked him. Evan later had a conversation with Luke as they walked together during the challenge. Luke revealed that he had never been in a relationship. Luke asked Evan if he had his eye on anyone and Evan said no. Evan admitted to not having recovered enough to have the skateboarding career he once did. Luke assured it would come back to him.

In the following episode, Evan commented on Dirk’s butt being nice, which alarmed a few others. Evan didn’t think his comment was odd, and noted Esme’s flustered reaction. He also complimented Esme’s efforts as assistant host. During the challenge, Dirk ran into Evan after Dirk ratted out a few other contestants in the bushes. Evan was going to urinate on the bush, which grossed Dirk out. Evan wore small trunks as part of his costume, which Dirk also stated no one wanted to see. Evan confronted Dirk as to why he was so rude to him. Dirk told him he didn’t owe him an explanation. As Dirk left, Evan smirked, seeming to realize what Dirk was up to. Evan was also among the contestants that gawked at the large animatronic dragon.

During the challenge that required the teams to carry, assemble, fill, and knock an opponent into a dunk tank, Evan noticed Dirk seeming to be in a trance when Anders was in his swim trunks. Anders explained that he wore the trunks in case he was chosen to be inside the dunk tank. Evan began pulling his shirt up until Dirk stopped him. Evan assured that millions of women wanted to see it but he kept his shirt on. He then froze when looking at Ruth.

Skylar and Evan were paired together to fill the tank with water. Evan was winded fairly early on in the process, and Skylar pretended to hurt his ankle in order to deflect suspicion from Evan feeling weak. Evan felt grateful, and after the men lost the challenge, Evan vouched for Skylar to stay in the competition. He stated in confessional that he now considered him and Skylar even.

Evan waited to enter the confessional, but Hae Won and Ruth arrived. He insisted Hae Won go before him, with Ruth explaining she was there to protect Hae Won. Evan approached Hae Won once she was alone. They commented that they both didn’t have much of an experience on their first season. She teased him about his mom letting him compete. He left abruptly after a coughing fit.

After LeVar was disqualified from the show, Evan was concerned that his alliance might fall apart. When he asked Jerome, Jerome told him he felt it was for the best that they disband the alliance. In the mess hall, Evan sat with Hae Won and offered her his piece of dry toast. Patsy stepped up in order to clean the tables. Evan openly mocked her, but Hae Won defended her after she stepped away. Evan seemed to want to ask Hae Won something, but he was interrupted by the challenge being announced.

At the obstacle course challenge, Evan teased Skylar about liking Quimberly. Skylar denied it, and revealed that he was dating the bearded lady. Skylar suggested that Evan volunteer to sit out of the challenge since it seemed more physical. Evan declined the suggestion as he did not want to appear weak. After changing for the challenge, Evan’s costume seemed very loose, while Skylar’s was very tight. While climbing across a set of monkey bars, Evan’s shorts fell around his ankles. He was embarrassed when he passed his flag off to Skylar. Skylar reassured him that he looked cool in his pink undies. Evan stated that he had more embarrassing things leak out on the Internet. Skylar ended up having a severe panic attack due to a mysterious note that was with his costume. Evan hugged him after losing the challenge. When Skylar was eliminated, Skylar passed the note off to Evan.

Evan spoke with Hae Won at night. Dirk interrupted them and he and Evan got into a verbal fight ending in Dirk giving Evan a wedgie, before leaving the area. After making sure he was okay, Hae Won left the area intending to get revenge on Dirk. Evan took out the note from Skylar and said he would investigate. Patsy overheard this and followed after him. He attempted to enter the dressing room from the previous challenge. Patsy jumped out to confront him. He explained that Skylar received a note that said whoever sent it knew what happened on his season, and he wanted to investigate the bags in the dressing room. Patsy let slip that she suspected a saboteur on the show. While investigating, the two realized that Evan and Skylar’s bags were switched, leading Patsy to believe that the note was meant for Evan.

After leaving, a suspicious figure in a hoodie also attempted to break into the dressing room. Evan and Patsy spied on them, and Evan went to lock the person in the dressing room. They emerged, though, and knocked Evan to the ground. Before they could harm Evan further, the police arrived on the scene. Evan seemed annoyed with Douglas, one of the officers. Evan agreed to visit the medical tent for a scratch, but did not end up going.

Evan excused himself during the fashion design challenge. He and Patsy met up and hid when Hae Won appeared. Patsy left the hiding spot where she spoke with Hae Won. Hae Won ended up stating that even though she did view him as a friend, she was trying to keep away from Evan as he seemed clingy and gave her a weird vibe. Patsy felt bad as she knew Evan could hear them. After the conversation, Patsy checked on Evan who seemed hurt and ended up walking away. Hae Won was later eliminated for being suspected of being the saboteur by Patsy, followed by Patsy who received a note saying she was getting too close to the truth. Later, a scene showed Evan using a hacksaw to cut away at a structure for a challenge.

In the following episode, a pair of officers reviewed the episode with some evidence footage found from a phone Evan was using to record his exploits. He revealed himself as the saboteur in videos he recorded intended as a web series on how he hacked the game. He explained that he attempted to avoid suspicion by targeting players that seemed random, including his close friend Skylar, as well as Hae Won and Patsy. This time, though, he stated his intended target as Dirk, who he had been feuding with since the beginning.

During one of his videos, Luke walked up while Evan was cutting at the stairs for the next challenge, which Evan explained away as helping the crew take down a set they were no longer using. Luke critiqued his form, and when he didn’t take to verbal coaching, Luke stood behind him and held his arms. Luke left, leaving a very flustered Evan. Evan explained that he liked Luke, and didn’t want him involved in his scheme. Evan also seemed attracted to Luke, which he attributed to needing a girlfriend.

In order to target Dirk, Evan wanted him to sit out of the strength based challenge. Evan flirted with Esme in order to get a key for costumes, claiming he lost some of his clothing. She agreed, and he provided a forged note stating that the active players in the challenge needed to wear ballet tights. Dirk quickly volunteered to sit out of the challenge after the revelation, Evan having noted prior that Dirk did not like feminine challenges. Luke and Evan also sat of the challenge, though Evan started coughing in order for the others to let him sit out. He stated on his camera phone that he wanted to avoid using his illness as an excuse, but felt he had to.

On the ground, while most of their team competed on the rickety bridge for the challenge, Dirk and Evan got into another argument while Luke attempted to mediate. Evan was offended that Dirk questioned his moral character and still resented that he pushed him down during introductions. Evan attempted to push Dirk, but was not able to make him move. At Luke’s urging, Dirk seemed to be apologizing, but couldn’t finish before Evan dashed at him. Dirk stepped out of the way, causing Evan to hurt his ankle as he fell to the ground. Luke ran off to get help, telling the guys to stay still and to stop arguing.

Evan noticed the bridge creaking like it was about to fall. Unable to push himself out of the way, having hurt his wrist as well as his ankle, Evan apologized to Dirk, begging him to move him out of the way. Dirk refused to, stating that he was following Luke’s orders not to move, as well as not wanting to hurt Evan further by moving him wrong. After some impact on the structure from Anders, the stair side of the structure began to fall toward Dirk and Evan. Evan noticed first, but when Dirk looked up he began to run out of the way. Remembering that Evan was on the ground, he rushed back to roll him out of the way. Not having time to run, again, Dirk braced himself for impact. Evan was shocked that Dirk tried to save him. Just then, the wind picked up and shifted the trajectory of the tower, which ended up falling on Evan. Evan was removed from the game.

The officers observing the events noted that they found Evan’s phone a year later. Despite being disturbed by watching Evan get hurt, they implied that Evan did some bad things after this incident.

## Trivia

* Evan describes himself as mixed race. He is black and white.
* Evan’s character model for Total Drama: Worst of the Worst is my personal favorite of the story.
* Evan is my contestant with the most piercings.
* In Total Drama Athletics, a few readers stated that the twist of Evan having cancer was predictable. I wanted another go at having a twist that involved him, and I feel the reveal of him as the saboteur was more successful. I wanted to deter the suspicion on him by fairly blatantly telecasting it.
* Evan’s conversation with Luke during the first challenge was meant to call back to his being the first eliminated from the first version of the story. It also was meant to suggest that maybe that would happen again.
* Evan had a series of bracelets sold when his cancer was revealed. The slogan was ‘EvanSent’, a play on the term ‘heaven sent’. This was meant as a reference to LiveStrong, the slogan tied to Lance Armstrong and the bracelets associated with him. This was a reference to both Evan and Lance Armstrong having cancer, and being cheaters (though Evan’s nefarious nature was not revealed early on in the story).
* In the treasure seeking challenge, Evan’s Spartan costume was a way to show the audience how thin Evan had gotten. I also felt it was funny for the Sparta costume to be from a completely different era than the other costumes.
* Evan saved Skylar after he covered for him in the dunk tank challenge. He then stated that he considered him and Skylar even. Evan still has a sense of honor, and I meant this to mean that he now had no issue eliminating Skylar.
* Evan reveals that he had embarrassing images leak on the internet. This meant nudes of him were posted online. Given his attempts to cling on to fame, he likely leaked them himself.
* After Skylar had his panic attack that prevented him from completing the challenge. Evan hugged him and said he was sorry. This was Evan directly apologizing for setting Skylar up.
* Evan knew Patsy was watching him when he mentioned investigating in order to lure her out. It was meant to be obvious that she, Grace, and Tamira were not being discreet while spying.
* Evan’s costume for the fashion challenge is based on the wrestler Jake the Snake. He also had an Ekans Pokémon around his shoulders as Jake the Snake would often have a snake with him during matches.
* Evan’s social media name ‘Evan11’ is based on Kevin 11 from Ben 10.
* Evan’s web series ‘Bruh! Nice!’ is based on Dude Perfect.
* Evan uses romantic terms and compares Luke to a skyscraper and a fountain. Instead of using more natural cliches, like trees or the ocean, I wanted to emphasize his being from and liking the city.
* Evan targeted Skylar because he knew that Evan was feeling weak. He also felt that it would make him less of a suspect since they were friends, as well as some ire toward Skylar rescuing Quimberly when she almost got hit by a falling sign.
* Despite Dirk being the target of the falling challenge set, I tried to imply that Luke was going to be the one injured by mistake.
* Evan targeting Skylar, but not Patsy or Hae Won initially was out of his having crushes on the girls.
* Evan is often controlled by his attraction to others. It was meant to be implied that he was desperate for a relationship.
