**Beth (as played by Jakusz)** was a camper on Total Drama CYOR: Island as a member of the Screaming Gophers, and eventually the Killer Bass during the team swap. During her run this season, Beth formed a tight knit alliance with Leshawna and Katie. Due to the duo's strategic prowess, as well as systematically eliminating the pre-swap Bass during their post-swap losing streak, the majority targeted them come merge, with Beth being the second casualty.

She later returned as a castmate in Action, being placed on the Killer Grips. After being kept out of the loop during Gwen's elimination, come the swap Beth lost all trust in her fellow pre-swap Grips. This resulted in a secret final two alliance with Duncan, which allowed them to take control of the team. Unfortunately for them, at the merge Duncan was unable to recognize he was now firmly in the minority, targeting Tyler. Due to Beth's status as the leader of the minority, she was once again eliminated second into the merge, though found love in the form of Duncan.

For World Tour, she qualified as an initial member of Team Amazon before moving to the newly established Team Chris Is Really Really Really Hot in the swap. Beth quickly found herself in the Team Amazon majority alongside Katie and Lindsay. Despite having a rocky post-swap due to a another continuous losing streak, Beth persevered, making merge. From there, she united with both her boyfriend, Duncan, and Katie's boyfriend, Justin, to create a new majority. After the girl's alliance, including Beth, sabotaged Duncan at the final four, Beth found herself in the finale, crowned the winner of the season in an 8-1 vote. Due to her overall dominance and literally shooting her boyfriend with a rocket, Beth was voted the main antagonist.

Beth also qualified as a contestant for All-Stars, being placed on the Valiant Vultures. She quickly found herself in another all-female majority alliance (Katie, Molly, and Dakota) and the Winner's Alliance (Duncan, Noah, and Brick), insulating herself well for the pre-merge. However, due to cheating on Duncan between seasons with a guy named Brady, the delinquent was looking for revenge. This was only further cemented after she broke up with him, resulting in Duncan secretly playing against her. Despite this handicap, Beth was able to survive to the final four, being the last female left standing. She was cut by Geoff, convinced by Duncan none of them could beat her in the jury.

As a result of her consistently strong placements, along with her extremely dominant victory, Beth is considered one of the best to ever play.

## Personality

Beth was born and raised on a farm with only animal friends and her parents to keep her company. Thanks to her background, she never developed proper social skills, even stating that her best friend is actually her pet pig, Bertha. She does anything for attention and while she excels at getting others to stop and stare, it is more often than not for embarrassing reasons. Beth herself remains oblivious to this problem. She also tends to be a very dependent person, most likely caused by her desire for everyone to like her. Her naïve ways make her an ideal target for antagonists like Courtney, Heather, and Justin. Over time, Beth learns to stand up for herself and stays strong all the way to the end. Overall, Beth is considered to be a sweet and trustworthy girl among the cast]], who learns to be strong and independent.

Come her third time competing in Total Drama World Tour, she used that nice and sweet, yet independent persona to snow over her fellow competitors, and become a calculated and cutthroat strategist. Using her new strategy, as well as relying on past and new connections, she picked off many players who she deemed to be a threat, no matter how friendly they were.

## Total Drama Island

Beth debuted on the season and quickly came off as enthusiastic and quirky, and a bit weird to not only Chris but also her fellow campers. Despite this, she eventually managed to forge relationships to get her farther in the game. However, she proved to be naive and was exploited multiple times by the more manipulative players such as Heather and Justin. In regard to the former, Beth was offered a spot into her alliance alongside Katie and Lindsay due to being perceived as "desperate". This culminated in Beth voting off Owen with the majority of their team in The Big Sleep.

In the following episodes Dodgebrawl, Not Quite Famous, and The Sucky Outdoors, she wasn't the most valuable member in challenges, leading to two consecutive losses in the latter two episodes. Extremely loyal to her alliance with Heather, Katie, and Lindsay, she voted with them against Gwen, but thanks to Heather's heinous act of reading Gwen's diary aloud to everyone, general dislike by her teammates, and Beth's semi ally Justin wanting to curry favor with their enemies, Heather was sent home. With no leader, Beth was unsure where to go but still followed Justin due to his manipulation towards her. Unfortunately, the unofficial alliance now ran by Justin failed to forge a majority, sending Lindsay home at the next vote. This left Beth with no solid friends but Katie up against a friend group led by Heather's biggest enemies Gwen and Leshawna.

Shockingly, a team swap occurred the following episode in Phobia Factor. Beth was transferred to the Killer Bass and was joined by her former Gophers Katie, Justin, and Leshawna, and Noah alongside former original Bass members Courtney, DJ, Ezekiel, and Izzy. She was excited to not only meet her new teammates but also due to the fact that her original team held a numbers advantage.

Beth got along well enough with everyone but grew to dislike Ezekiel due to his sexism and social unawareness, as well as Noah, as they were on opposite sides since the beginning and she disliked his laziness and snark. Because of this, she found a new friend in Leshawna, and together with Katie, they formed a strong trio. Courtney also attempted to befriend Beth in order to get her to flip, but Beth was more willing to stick with Justin, Katie, and Leshawna.

Despite facing her fear of worms and her new team winning the fear facing challenge, they went on a losing streak until If You Can't Take The Heat.... In Up the Creek, she canoed with Courtney and they talked strategy, but Beth was mostly unwilling due to their majority and Justin trying to manipulate Izzy into voting with them as combat against Noah. Unfortunately, Izzy's psychotic nature and Noah aligning with the former Bass mates sent Justin home in a close 5-4 vote. Meanwhile, in Paintball Deer Hunter, Courtney was finally eliminated due to her poor social standing with the rest of the challenge. Beth was an excellent hunter in the challenge, but the team's poor choices of both deer and hunters led to their loss.

The Killer Bass managed to make a comeback however in the following cooking challenge due to Leshawna's adequate leadership, DJ's stellar cooking skills and the team generally gelling well with each other; Beth was partnered up with Katie for the challenge and they bonded even more. Also in the episode, she jokingly joined Katie, Leshawna, and Noah in locking Duncan in the freezer due to his dislike of his crush Courtney's elimination in the previous episode.

In the following episodes getting to the merge, she wound up going to every single Campfire Ceremony. In Who Can You Trust? she argued with Noah throughout the entire challenge due to being fed up with his snarky comments and the fact that he had obviously flipped on their original team. Alongside losing the Extreme Cooking round with Izzy, she was a target for the looming vote. Fortunately for her, Izzy's craziness finally caught up to her as Leshawna had gotten fed up with it since she was the technical reason they lost most of the rounds; she cooked the much worse dish for Beth to eat, dropped Katie in the jellyfish filled lake, and distracted DJ in the toboggan race. This led to DJ blaming her for the loss and being the nail in Izzy's coffin, sparing Beth.

In Basic Straining, she fought hard to persevere in the grueling military training boot camp, but her team lacked much physicality in comparison to their rivals. At the ceremony, despite DJ saving her at the last vote, Beth voted him off with her enemy Noah in order to save them both. Finally in X-Treme Torture, despite being relatively even in the challenge, the Killer Bass lose for a third straight time. In the end, Beth, Katie, and Leshawna trust Ezekiel less due to his sexist nature and save Noah, voting him off unanimously, and establishing him as the first member of the jury.

Since only ten campers remained as of Brunch of Disgustingness, the cabins were rearranged to match gender; Beth, Katie, and Leshawna were joined by Bridgette, Eva, and Gwen. Beth was met with graciousness by the surfer girl and intimidation by the raging female bully. As for her former teammate Gwen, they were on better terms due to Heather's early boot. In the gender war reward challenge for a trip away from camp, the women faltered due to the men's better cohesion and Eva trying to dominate the girls.

In the following episode, Heather and Tyler shocked everyone when they returned back to the game. Their return also signaled the official merging of the teams. With Heather back in the game, Beth attempted to regroup with her and Katie and reform their alliance. However, Heather was noncommittal, likely due to their newfound close friendship with her rival Leshawna. At the first individual invincibility challenge, Beth was unable to secure immunity. Afterwards, Beth's friend group teamed up with Gwen and tried to round up votes against Duncan due to their general dislike of him and believing him to be a major threat. Beth was able to sidle up to Tyler and form a friendship with him, using the promise to vote off Duncan as her biggest form of loyalty to him. They also tried to bring in Trent due to his blossoming romance with Gwen and even forge a truce with Heather in order to form a majority. In the end, Heather's dislike and distrust of Beth, Gwen, and Leshawna, and Trent forming a huge bond with the remaining men led to Leshawna's ouster in a 7-5 vote, making her the second member of the jury. This led to Beth being in the minority.

In Search and Do Not Destroy, Beth's main focus was convincing others to flip to her side; her three biggest attempts were to her former Screaming Gopher teammates Heather, Noah, and Trent. She tried to use the argument that the most original Killer Bass majority would overpower them once her side of the votes were eliminated. Unfortunately, only Trent was truly receptive, leading to Beth's end on the island in a 6-5 vote. She became the third member of the jury and in the finale episode Face-Off: Duncan vs. Heather, used her vote to aid in Duncan winning due to respecting his overall gameplay more.

## Total Drama Action

Beth returns for a second go round alongside everyone else in Monster Cash. Due to being perceived as a bigger threat compared to her allies last season, she decided to switch up her strategy and attempt to form bonds with multiple people in order to reduce her target. She first began this by distancing herself from her close friend Justin because she realized how manipulative he could be. In the following episode, she is unable to secure immunity or captainship, but manages to survive the first vote of the season where which the psychotic Izzy was sent home alongside DJ, who quit in order to be with his mother.

In Riot On Set, she chosen by her rival Noah to be on his team, the Killer Grips. Alongside Noah, they were joined with Bridgette, Cody, Gwen, Katie, Leshawna, Owen, Trent, and Tyler. Beth maintained her friendships with Gwen, Katie, Leshawna, and Tyler, and was quick to not trust Noah due to their past interactions. In the challenge she excitedly volunteered herself to be the costume designer, but it helped aid in a loss that was primarily caused due to Owen tripping and accidentally destroying their set. Because of this, he was sent packing.

In Beach Blanket Bogus, Beth cheered excitedly as Trent's great dance moves led to the team's first victory despite being weirded out in the beginning of the episode by his obsession with his girlfriend Gwen and the number nine. In the following episode, her discontent with Trent's behavior became a suspicion as she was unsure what happened to him. She voiced this to Katie, and Gwen even, and both were just as stumped. However, any further developments were stunted as the Grips won a second straight challenge against their rivals. Her team's winning streak ended in The Chefshank Redemption, as Justin was able to stomach the disgusting foods better than Noah. While Beth was annoyed at Noah for his poor performance and even more so that her retainer was rendered useless, she was still suspicious of Trent's behavior and considered sending him home in order to ease the tension on the team. Ultimately, Cody was sent home as Noah was able to convince everyone that he was more useful than him.

In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, Beth found herself gawking at the sight of her Justin after managing to avoid him for multiple challenges. She assumed that he was attempting to seduce her throughout the entire night, so she tried her hardest to break away from his charms, and instead focus on reading the medical book. Luckily, he confronted her about her attraction towards him, and she was able to shoot him down. This led to her successfully reading the entire book and, as a result, in the medical themed challenge was quite useful. In the end, the Killer Grips won invincibility.

In The Sand Witch Project, the short lived relief from their previous victory didn't effectively ease the tension between Gwen and Trent's relationship. Beth eventually figured out that Trent had become jealous of Gwen's friendship with Duncan despite their own friendship after unintentional needling from Bridgette. This led to their ultimate breakup, and a cause of sides to be formed afterwards; Beth sided with Gwen, already finding Trent suspicious. Furthermore, their tensions and the arguments culminated in a loss at the challenge. Despite being annoyed with them both, as well as Leshawna for turning against Gwen and joining Trent's side, Beth cast her vote for Noah, who she ultimately blamed for the loss due to believing he was the true cause of Gwen and Trent's faltering relationship. This led to Gwen's elimination however as Bridgette sided with Trent along with Noah.

In the morning of the following episode, she laments over Gwen's harsh boot and Leshawna and Trent's behavior post her elimination. She is annoyed with them both, and genuinely shocked that they'd turn on Gwen so savagely.
