A seemingly cursed to be pathetic man, Game Show Gabe has never felt the feeling of respect in his life. Aside from his love for game shows, he also tutors and volunteers.

## Total Drama: Anarchy

In "Episode One: Welcome to Boney Island - Part 1", Game Show Gabe begins to introduce himself to his peers as Gabriel, but is cut off by his rude, New Yorker boat driver, who refers to him as his high school nickname, Game Show Gabe. He arrives in the same outfit as Kimiko, as his grandmother sewed it using Kimiko's pattern, which she found via Kimiko's sewing blog. He also tells the group about his hobbies of tutoring and volunteering, but not before he talks about his love for game shows.

His socially awkwardness and pathetic nature are very clear from his introductory scene. He speaks very formally, and uses a lot of large words and outdated slang. His boat driver refers to his luggage as "gay ass", which initially feels unwarranted, but it is actually wonderfully executed foreshadowing.

Cameron's initial reaction to Gabe is spouting heart eyes and saying "Fittie." She seemingly experiences love at first sight, to which for a while, Gabe would be oblivious to. Mitsu reacts by quipping "there’s so many bloody clowns here that the fucking circus arrived", and later whistles the circus theme in reference to Gabe. Eddie can't help but laugh at Gabe's misfortune, Roxanne confusedly greets him, and Woods calls him "a freak". Angela's initial response is to check on him to assure he isn't injured, and Red and Byte simply watch the show.

During Keith's introduction, Game Show Gabe is pinched by a crab. Cameron calls Gabe "McDreamy", and Roxanne internally reflects on Gabe's odd speech, specifically his use of "dandy".

When Kimiko is introduced, she quickly interrogates him on why he's wearing the same outfit as her and demands that he changes. He never does. Kimiko tells the rest of the group that Game Show Gabe "ruins everything". This encounter makes a lovestruck Cameron mentally note that "Kimiko is her next target". Other reactions to being exposed to Kimiko and Game Show Gabe's dynamic include Angela asking Gabe if she's "okay", and Byte making a confessional where he asks "Are they in love?".

Then, Kimiko piledrives Gabe, which startles Roxanne and Angela. Game Show Gabe expresses a pain in his spleen in reaction. Woods comments on the fact that Kimiko and Gabe are wearing the same outfit, and moves on to the next introduction.

During Lakynn's introduction, Red approaches Kimiko and Gabe to ask what's up. Kimiko calls Gabe "a very naughty lad". During this exchange, Game Show Gabe catches wind that Lakynn is a victim of mouth farting, and expresses romantic interest in her, exclaiming "Who would fart in such a beautiful woman’s mouth?!". Kimiko explains Gabe's seemingly innocuous violations of school rules, and then calls him a "fucking terrorist".

When Kimiko is soon distracted, Gabe crawls away from her and bumps into Cameron's leg, and she freezes up mid-prank. She continues to stare at him, completely enamored. As Mikey is introduced, Gabe warns Cameron about Kimiko's hatred for pranks. She's too transfixed on his beauty to reply. When Game Show Gabe is soon distracted with Mikey's arrival, she flees.

During Trinity's arrival, Gabe comments on Mikey being choked by Rafe, and says "Youch! You don’t wanna be that guy! This Rafe fellow can really mess a guy up, huh?", which Red confirms.

While departing for the island tour, Cameron continues to fantasize about Game Show Gabe. Game Show Gabe reacts to Shelbybot excitedly. He seems very impressed by her creation. Shelbybot scans and detects him, and proceeds to initiate pitiful laughter. When in the movie theatre, Game Show Gabe reacts to Jenna calling Lakynn a "bitch", exclaiming "Ms. Jenna! Women should build each other up, not tear each other down!". Jenna replies and calls Gabe "gamer dude" in the process.

Upon reaching the cave during the tour, Gabe stares at Lakynn's boobs, and explains that boob staring is a symptom of ADHD. Kimiko shortly after tells Gabe he should leave the cave since he isn't going to be having sex with anyone, thus nullifying the point of a fucking cave. Keith responds to her in Gabe's defense, asking her to give "Mr. Gaming Gabe" a week to prove himself. Unknown to Game Show Gabe at the time, this would change his entire life. Kimiko laughs and challenges Gabe to have sex with someone within the next week if he wanted to be allowed in the fucking cave. Gabe is intimidated, and Keith worries about what his words have sparked.

Game Show Gabe tells himself that maybe flirting would be easier if he pretends its part of a game show, and then in a moment of boosted confidence, asks Lakynn "Do you sex? Sorry". Mikey chimes in and asks what sex is. Lakynn looks Gabe up and down and rejects him in favor of Simon, who is gay. Lakynn tells Simon "These women are tearing me down and I need a big strong man to help me", and then points at Game Show Gabe, exclaiming "NOT you". Upon watching this and cringing, Keith tells Kimiko she was probably right about Gabe, but she still shouldn't have said it. Kimiko proceeds to call Gabe a "sad little man" who has "no game".

Game Show Gabe then asks Lakynn if she could use her health knowledge to cure any of his "afflictions". She ignores this, and shortly after Gabe tries to make another move on her by flaunting his Italian heritage. Lakynn replies expressing that this ousts him from the category of white boys, and teams are announced. Keith suggests to Kimiko that they should help him, but the excitement of the two realizing they're on the same team quickly overshadows this thought, and it passes, unanswered.

After this, Game Show Gabe overhears Lakynn's claim that Cameron got dropped in a pit of acid as a baby and is instantly empathetic, explaining how he went through the same thing. Cameron freezes again, and Lakynn calls him a wop. Cameron stares as Gabe invites her to a future meeting of a "really great support group for sufferers of Baby Acid Drop Disorder". She fails to respond again, and Game Show Gabe soon listens in on Lakynn and Simon, asking the later who "Sheila" is. Lakynn suggests to Simon that they should cuddle, and Gabe replies positively, despite the question not being directed at him. Lakynn tells him, "Go cuddle with that slime-haired freak!", and Cameron shortly runs away after shooting looks at both Lakynn and Gabe.
