James

**James Swallow** is the camp chef for Total Drama: Camp Maidstone. He was then fired before Total Drama Maidstone: The Second Season before he was rehired. He was then fired again, but returned as a contestant during the final four. He was then chosen to host Total Drama Maidstone: Around the World until Clark usurped him and kicked him off the show. He is set to compete on Total Drama: End of Camp Maidstone on the Slimy Snails. If it is ever written, he will compete in a duo with Henry in The Ludicrous Race.

## Personality

James is biased, cruel, and remorseless. He enjoys torturing the contestants and bringing up grudges from the past.

## Total Drama: Camp Maidstone

James is picked by Clark to judge the talent show in **Not Quite-So Famous**. After 'Angel' makes a harmful impression of him, he runs into the woods and hides.

James is then used as a challenge in **The Sucky Outdoors**, with contestants challenged to camp in the woods for a night and make it back at dawn before the other team. James is used as an instant-win card, but is passed around by the two teams.

Clark gets James to run the show during **Basic Straining** while he hunts Hermione. He forces the contestants to participate in his boot camp if they want to win.

At the end of **Haute de Loser**, James catches Joe and Hermione at the docks and, with the help of Harry, eliminates Joe and sends them to La Island de Loser.

## Total Drama Maidstone: The Second Season

James is rehired into the show and returns in **His Return I**. He then runs a biased challenge, but makes a mistake and his least favourite team ends up winning.

James then judges the monologue challenge in **Dial M for Merger**, but is biased, resulting in him being fired again.

James is then reintroduced as a contestant in **His Return II**, and wins the challenge, choosing to eliminate Alex.

James then ties in **The Finale** with Amelia, but loses the back-up finale in **The Final Aftermath**.

## Total Drama Maidstone: Around the World

James returns as the host, alongside his new assistant host, Jacob. He ends up eliminating Joseph for being annoying in **We're Back in Business... With a New Host!**.

James launches 'James Swallow's TDM Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Rabbit Feet' and gets the contestants to make an ad for them in **Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan**.

James forces Tom's faction to sing whilst they were captured by an Amazon Tribe in **The Am-AH-Zon Race**.

James was then forced out of being host by Clark in **I See London...**.

James returns to host **Aftermath: The Redemption Competition II**.
