## Biography

Beau is the youngest of twelve children. Ever since he can remember girls always thought he was a cute, adorable boy. As Beau grew into his teen years, the attention he received from the female gender didn't stop. His attraction to the female population was entirely mutual. He begged his parents to let him start dating at thirteen, but he was forbidden from it. His father told him that he could start dating at sixteen. The day Beau turned sixteen he landed himself a girlfriend, made out with her, and dumped her in order to start dating another girl, immediately. After eight months of being able to date, Beau has had a total of one hundred and fifty-six girlfriends. One day, Beau met a girl that wasn't easily charmed by him. This confused Beau. He tried harder at attracting her, but failed. He then asked her why she wouldn't go out with him, and she said it was because of his bad reputation. Beau was taken by surprise by the statement as he never thought about it, but he knew that his attraction to this girl was something different. He actually imagined himself getting married to her in a few years, something that never struck him before. She promised that she would go out with him if he changed his ways. Beau promised he would try his hardest at not going after other girls. Beau had signed up to appear on the Total Drama series before meeting her, and couldn't back out. He set off for the show one day after making the promise to his potential girlfriend.

Beau joined the Total Drama series to meet girls. He also planned on winning the money by using his power on the female contestants in order to put him in the finals. His motives all changed after meeting his new love interest.

## Total Drama Tropics

When Beau first stepped off the boat and onto the tropical island, in Isle Be Seeing You, the already gathered contestants collectively said 'whoa'. Renee stopped playing with Yancy's face in order to look at Beau. She blushed when she set sight on him. Beau introduced himself. Willow said Beau was beautiful, and started crying. Beau said she wasn't bad, either. He then blushed and started babbling, and said he sounded like an idiot. Marguerite said they didn't care. Violet, Janice's puppet, asked Beau to marry her. Beau said that it was his first marriage proposal from a puppet. He stood next to Renee. She stared at him until he looked at her. He asked her name, and said it was a beautiful name. He then told her she was standing on his foot, and she moved her foot off of his. When Audrey II arrived, she stared into Beau's eyes until he became uncomfortable. She then thanked him for being so hot, he said she was welcome. When teams were being chosen, Sebastian selected Beau to be on his team. The girls on the other team were disappointed, while the girls on his team cheered.

In Decathlon Days Journey Into Night, Beau asked where he could put his things when he and his team arrived on their island home. His female teammates offered to carry his things for him. Renee took his things. Beau thanked her and apologized for flirting with her. Beau then saw the bungalows the teams would be staying in, and commented on how gorgeous they were. The girls stared at him. Marguerite thanked him for finding the bungalows. He blushed, and the girls sighed. When deciding who stayed where, Willow and Violet volunteered to stay with Beau. He was embarrassed, and Sebastian decided for each group of genders to stay in separate bungalows. While deciding who would do what event for the challenge, Violet inquired as to which event required the least amount of clothing. Sebastian guessed that it would be sumo wrestling. Violet volunteered for Beau to compete in that event. Beau didn't want to, but Willow used guilt to make him do it by crying and saying that he would let the team down. When Beau came out in his sumo wrestling costume, the girls cheered and the guys stared. Dante admitted to Frederick that Beau was hot, and Isaiah, Beau's opponent, pointed out that Beau was really toned. Beau requested to wrestle against someone smaller than Isaiah. Several female contestants offered to wrestle him, so Beau settled on wrestling Isaiah. Beau dodged Isaiah as the two boys bantered. Isaiah dived at Beau and caught his costume by his hand, tearing the side. Beau grabbed hold o his costume to keep it from falling. He shouted that he forfeited as he ran back into the jungle.

In Oh Say Can You Seashell, Chris handed a barrel containing a reward to Beau for his team. The female team mates, excluding Stacy, offered to help him carry it. Before the challenge, Willow volunteered for Beau to sit out of the challenge. She cried at the thought of him getting sand under his fingernails. In Trivial Pursuers, Beau was hit on by Violet. He almost returned the compliment, but stopped mid-sentence and went to the confessional. He lamented over nearly hitting on a puppet, and said that he really missed his potential girlfriend. Later, Beau was fully clothed lying on the beach. He told Sebastian that he didn't want the female contestants to go crazy for him. Yancy then walked onto the beach in a striped, 1920s style bathing suit. Beau made a joke at Yancy's expense, and Yancy stormed back into the jungle. Willow then asked Beau if he wanted to make out. He couldn't answer the question. He blushed and rushed into the jungle. Yancy said in confessional that Beau made him really angry, especially how he didn't return the affections of the girls who liked him. Yancy then said that he hated Beau. He exited the confessional only to see that Beau was standing there. Beau looked hurt, but told Yancy not to worry about it when he tried to apologize. Beau left the area. Beau looked embarrassed when Willow called him hot at the campfire ceremony.

Beau was concerned about Logan, in The Tower of Doom, after he was devastated after believing that Stacy was only using him to get ahead in the game. Beau said in confessional that he felt for Logan, though he never experienced what Logan went through. He then said that he'd been on the other side of it, and then felt bad about himself. Before going to bed, Yancy asked Beau to go outside so they could talk. Beau dismissed the request, but Yancy insisted that they talk. Yancy apologized, told Beau that he felt sick over what he said, and said that he didn't like people being mad at him. Beau said that it hurt that Yancy said something so strong without really knowing Beau's side. Yancy admitted he was wrong. Beau then confided in Yancy that he was avoiding the girls because he promised a girl at home that he wouldn't go after any other girls when he was away, but found it difficult because he was usually used to giving in. Yancy said that it made him feel worse that he judged him, and empathized with him. Beau said he was struggling, but Yancy assured him that he would help him whenever he needed to talk. Yancy told Beau they were friends and Beau returned the sentiment, adding that Yancy was very humble. He assured him that he'd find a girl who appreciated him. Later, Beau helped Janice and some others look for Violet, who had gone missing. After Renee extremely frightened Yancy, he walked onto the beach, where everyone but Renee was gathered, not realizing that he had wet his pants. Everyone laughed but Beau. Yancy looked devastated and ran into the jungle. Beau followed him and tripped over Yancy where he was huddled on the ground. Yancy said that he wanted to die, and for Beau to leave him alone. Beau then walked back to the beach, got everyone's attention, and wet himself in front of everyone. He turned and went back into the jungle. He had Yancy get up, and Yancy was stunned by what Beau did for him. Yancy thanked Beau, and they went to change their clothes. They walked on the beach for their challenge. Willow hugged Beau, and Yancy barked for her to leave him alone, causing Willow to run from Beau. Sebastian noted that he realized what Beau did for Yancy. Beau said in confessional that he was kind of surprised that he became friends with Yancy, then stating that he didn't have many guy friends, revealing that other guys were either jealous of him or mad at him for stealing their girlfriends. He looked ashamed and said he used to be such a jerk. For the challenge, Beau instructed the team to build a strong foundation for their tower, stating that he worked in construction during a summer. He said in confessional that it was ironic that he would get whistled at by passersby while working construction.

In Arts and Craftiness, Al wanted to have "girl talk" with his male teammates. He asked Beau if he had a crush on anyone on the show. He shouted that he didn't, turned red, and covered his face with his blanket. At the challenge, Beau was paired against Audrey II in a gift wrapping challenge. Audrey complimented Beau's package, causing everyone to laugh, and embarrassing Beau. She blushed and then said she was talking about the box he was holding and not the "package" in his pants. Everyone laughed again, and Audrey and Beau's faces turned even more red. Beau won the point for his team. At the elimination ceremony, Beau was announced as safe, receiving applause from his female teammates.

In SOS, Please, Someone Help Us, Yancy talked to Beau late at night about having grown up in foster homes and an orphanage. He told Beau that he felt unwanted, because of being adopted ten years after being brought to the orphanage, and that he had nightmares about people saying why they wouldn't adopt him. Beau tried to comfort him by saying his adoptive father loved him, but Yancy said he only pitied him, because he went through a similar situation. Yancy said he wanted a girlfriend to love him. Beau vowed to help Yancy get a girlfriend, though Yancy felt it was a useless task. Beau reminded Yancy who he was talking to, and Yancy smiled and thanked Beau for saying that. Beau then realized that Yancy had fallen asleep on his bed. Beau turned and went to sleep, too. In the morning, Yancy woke up to see Al staring at them in a surprised manner, and Yancy explained to Al what actually happened. For the distress signal challenge, Beau suggested to build a tower with things from the jungle. Beau took Yancy aside and asked him who he liked. Yancy said all the girls were hot, and Beau agreed. Yancy slapped Beau to get him to stop thinking about the girls, and Beau thanked him. Beau's scheme was for him to laugh at the things Yancy said so people would think he was funny. He then laughed at Yancy for no reason and audibly told him he was hilarious. At the elimination ceremony, Beau was led to believe he had been eliminated. Logan was actually eliminated, but Chris forgot who Logan was and thought the contestants were playing a prank on him. After Logan reminded Chris of who he was, Beau was declared safe.

Beau determined that Sebastian finally admitted that he loved Marguerite, in Defend Your Sandcastle. Beau encouraged him to pursue the relationship. Later, Yancy was upset that Beau encouraged Sebastian to pursue Marguerite, because he liked her, as well. Beau told Yancy to quit acting that way, and assured him that there were more options in the world. Yancy apologized, and Beau agreed to continue to help him get a girlfriend. Beau, Yancy, and Al decided to help Sebastian ask Marguerite to go out with him. They wore camouflage and stealthily attempted to get Marguerite to meet Sebastian on the beach. Beau and Al lured Marguerite to the beach, and followed her to spy on the scene. Beau panicked when Sebastian tried to kiss Marguerite. She ended up rejecting him, and leaving. Beau, Yancy, and Al went to comfort Sebastian, but it didn't help. When discussing who to vote out, Beau suggested for Yancy to say something nice to Marguerite. He said she looked 'yummy', and Beau disapproved. Marguerite hugged Yancy, before leaving the area. Beau, Yancy, and Al commented on how flirtatious Marguerite was toward the male contestants. Beau said, after Marguerite was voted out, that they felt she was flirting with the guys to get them to vote with her. She denied it.

After Marguerite's elimination, Beau expected Sebastian to feel devastated, in A Run to Remember. Sebastian seemed like he was back to normal, however. Later, Beau schemed to compliment Yancy in front of the female contestants to highlight Yancy's good points. Beau asked for some of Yancy's good points, one being that he was good at avoiding detection while spying on the girls' volleyball team. Beau daydreamed about girls volleyball, and Yancy slapped him in order to regain his focus. Beau then loudly complimented Yancy's complexion. Willow asked what Beau was doing and he told her that he was going over Yancy's good qualities. Willow complimented Beau, and Yancy told her to leave Beau alone. Willow called Beau sexy while apologizing, and Beau asked if she thought Yancy was sexy. She said she didn't go for nerds. Yancy sulked on the way back to his bungalow, and Beau went to comfort him. Yancy wanted to give up at getting a girlfriend, and said he couldn't with Beau there to be compared to. Beau felt bad for being on the show, but Yancy assured him that he was glad he met him. When going over their respective problems, the boys realized that their appearance had to do with their situations. After seeing Yancy shirtless, Beau was surprised at how muscular he was. He encouraged him to show off his physique more. The guys decided to exchange clothes. Al walked in when Beau called Yancy hot, and told them the challenge would be starting. They met the others on the beach, and Willow complimented Beau, again. Yancy was disappointed, and Beau tried laughing at Yancy, again. Dante called Beau and Yancy freaks. For the three-legged race challenge, Willow volunteered to run with Beau, but Yancy said he thought it was a bad idea. Yancy volunteered to run with Willow. Beau ran with Sebastian, and lost his part of the challenge. When Willow and Yancy ran, Yancy tripped on Beau's pant leg when leading, costing his team the win. Beau and Yancy went into their bungalow and agreed that the clothing switch was a bad idea. Beau assured Yancy that he would have more chances to impress. Yancy thanked Beau for being his friend. Yancy and Beau were in the bottom two at the campfire ceremony, and Beau was eliminated. Yancy was upset. Sebastian explained that if the merge happened soon, Beau could use the girls to vote with him, though unknown to Yancy and Beau, the others assumed the two were a gay couple, and wouldn't vote each other out, as well. Yancy said that Beau would never manipulate the girls like that. Beau got ready to leave, but hugged Yancy and told him he loved him. The friends parted, and Beau boarded the 'Boat of Loserdom'. He said that he appreciated Yancy for keeping his focus off of his attraction to girls, and that he was confident that he could stay true to his potential girlfriend.

Beau attempted to befriend Isaiah, in Whatever Happened to That One Person, but Isaiah told him he wasn't interested, as he was treated poorly by other contestants. He revealed that he planned to move back to his home country. When Beau first arrived, he rushed to the phone, and persuaded Hae Won to leave so he could call his love interest. He felt bad for manipulating Hae Won, but was overjoyed to talk to his love interest, again. He pumped his fist at hearing that Yancy was in the final two. Beau sat in Yancy's support section and removed his shirt, in Win, Lose, or Die Trying, revealing that he had painted Yancy's name on his chest. Audrey II referred to Yancy as sexy, which confused Beau. Beau's challenge for Al was to be tied by a rope, and to work through a maze blindfolded. Al passed the challenge, and eventually won Total Drama Tropics. Beau hugged Yancy and assured him that he did great, too.

## After Total Drama Tropics

After appearing in Total Drama Tropics, Beau began dating his sweetheart. They married soon after Beau turned eighteen. He is just a few months younger than his young wife. Their marriage was going great, for a few days. Then they were presented with their first trial. One of Beau's ex-girlfriends returned to his life, telling him for the first time that she had a son and that he was Beau's. Beau was a bit shocked, but he realized she was being honest. She told Beau that she heard he got married, and that she was tired of raising her one year old son alone. She gave him their son, and left. Beau and his wife weren't even planning to have children, especially early on in their marriage, but after a while they accepted the fact. Beau's wife knew that he had been fairly promiscuous before they met, and knew he was no longer like that. Beau loves his family, and has learned from his mistakes, and is passionate about educating young people about abstinence at local schools. He is no longer attracted to every girl that crosses his path, and only has eyes for his wife. He is still friends with Yancy and Stefan, and they help take care of his son when he needs the help.

Beau was reluctant to leave his family for Total Drama: The All-Stars, but he was encouraged to participate by almost everyone he knew.

## Total Drama: The All-Stars

Waterlily noticed Beau, in All-Starstruck, and wondered who he was. He held up his ring finger and pointed out that he was married, which caused the single ladies to sadly sigh. He explained in confessional that he was excited to be back, and that he no longer had trouble controlling his thoughts, due to his devotion to his wife. He stated that he was a lot more mature, and ripped off his shirt, shouting that he was in it to win it. Beau reminded Al who Janice was, and he only remembered after Beau mentioned her puppet Violet.

Beau was disappointed with his team name, in Fatal Distraction, lamenting that he was once a member of The Epic Failures, and now on The Bottom Feeders. He said that he was hoping his new tame name would be 'The Mutant Ninja Zombie Laser Sharks'. Beau told Quintin one of his best kilt stories, but realized that Quintin was thinking about a girl, so he left him be.

In Modest Muse, Beau shared with Jonathan photos of his wife and son. Jonathan noted that Beau's wife was chubbier than he expected, and Beau explained that she was almost six months pregnant, stating that they decided to start their family after the unexpected arrival of his son. Jonathan stated that his son looked more Asian than he expected, and Beau explained that his ex-girlfriend was Asian. In the challenge, because no one on his team volunteered to do an artistic depiction of Brent, Beau began painting a portrait of Brent, after removing his shirt to avoid getting paint on it. He began to remove his pants, but stopped after Janice fainted. Despite not being a very good painting, Chris declared the portrait as average, a perfect representation of Brent. Beau's painting won the challenge for his team.

Beau was surprised at Ivan's tattoos of Al and Owen, in Watermelon-choly. Ivan explained that he got the tattoos when he was still really into TDI. Beau said that he thought they brought out his muscle definition. Beau then said that it shouldn't be weird for a guy to say that to another guy. Beau then offered to change the subject by showing his male team members the tattoo of his wife's name on his butt. The awkward stares made him detect that they didn't want to see it. Beau was paired against Reeve in the watermelon jousting challenge. Beau told Reeve that his fly down, and Reeve was disturbed that Beau was looking. Beau then told Reeve that his show was untied, and hit him with the watermelon stick when he was distracted. This greatly angered Reeve and he launched himself at Beau, but missed him as Beau ducked. Reeve fell to the ground, making Beau the winner of the match. Reeve then grabbed Beau's ankles and dragged him to the others.

Jonathan walked with Beau, in Comic Mischief Makers, and admitted how he gained the weight, and that he wanted to get back in shape, but didn't know where to start. Beau lifted up his shirt to show Jonathan his abs. He said that he would help train Jonathan, knowing a bit about fitness. He started by telling Jonathan to stop walking and run with him. Beau and Jonathan ran together, in Puppet Tears, but Jonathan stopped when he got tired. Beau ran ahead while Jonathan caught his breath. During the challenge, Beau and Jonathan went together. Beau stood on Jonathan's shoulders to break a puppet, then Jonathan stood on Beau's shoulders which surprised Jonathan. They both retrieved what they were after and went back to Chris.

In Environmentality, Ivan saw Beau making Jonathan do an intense workout. He looked confused when Jonathan mouthed 'help me'. In the morning, Jonathan told Beau that his workouts were too difficult for him, and that he didn't want him to train him, anymore. Beau was hurt, and went for a run. Ivan told Jonathan that he would train him, knowing about losing weight starting as an obese person. Beau walked in and said he heard the conversation and understood. He hugged Jonathan tearfully. In Quiz Showtime, Beau admitted to not knowing a question involving a former male contestant.

The next morning, in LARPapalooza, Jonathan and Beau went to investigate when there were loud noises in the morning, and saw that it was Yi Min building a wheelchair ramp for Creigh. Beau commented on Yi Min being shirtless to Jonathan, saying that Jonathan could have had muscles like Yi Min if he had worked out with him. For the challenge, Beau asked Jonathan to be his butt in a horse costume. Jonathan politely declined the offer. Beau then convinced Ivan to be his horse butt. During the challenge, Beau was assaulted by Fiona and her fairy dust, and she nearly won the challenge after retrieving the desired object.

Beau poked Jonathan's stomach with his finger, in Mystery Loves Company, signifying that Ivan's workout wasn't having the desired results. Ivan went off after hearing an alleged bird, and Jonathan followed after him to investigate, taking a duffel bag with him. After Beau couldn't sit alone by himself, he followed after Jonathan, unknown to Jonathan. Beau caught Jonathan in the bushes scarfing down prepackaged chocolate cupcakes. Jonathan apologized for letting Beau down and then asked why he was still in the competition. Beau assured him that everyone loved him. The guys then overheard Ivan and Hedda scheme to vote out Beau by throwing the challenge. Beau got sad, though Jonathan tried to assure him that he would protect him. At the challenge, everyone threw it, but Jonathan and Beau, but Jonathan accidentally caused the other team to win the challenge. At the elimination, Janice was voted out, though Jonathan was prepared to quit in Beau's behalf.

Jonathan and Beau hugged over being in the competition together still, in Embar-Razzmatazz, and Ivan walked in on them. After seeing Brad cloaked in a black hoodie, Beau claimed the title of hottest male contestant to compete on the series. Brad protested, claiming he was still hot. Yancy was to tell an embarrassing story about Beau for the challenge, and he said that ladies would ignore Beau and hit on him when they went partying. Beau clarified that they were old ladies offering Yancy hard candies. Yancy said he would remember things his way. Beau walked up to Jonathan with Yancy and they hit it off, though Beau thought they would be jealous over each other. Beau was annoyed when they made fun of him.

During the challenge, in Attack of the Deadly Tree Frog People, Jonathan and Beau paired up, and then split up when Chef Hatchet caught them. Jonathan ran one way while Beau ran another, and Chef Hatchet tagged Jonathan, while Beau ran off. Beau ended up victorious in the challenge. Fiona ended up hiding with Beau in the bushes, in Me, Myself, and Ice. He explained that he saw Ivan kiss Hedda when he was supposed to be dating Janice. She encouraged Beau to do something about it, but said that she wouldn't since it was none of her business. Beau got chills after he attempted to melt a block of ice by placing it against his abs. After the challenge, Beau confronted Ivan about kissing Heda while he was dating Janice. Jonathan joined the conversation. Ivan explained that he was only pretending to like Janice to get her vote, which really upset Beau.

Beau showed concern over the fact that Jonathan cried over losing the gold medal in the last challenge, in Some Children Left Behind. Jonathan insisted that he was okay. Beau spoke with Yi Min, feeling that he handled the situation with Ivan poorly, feeling like he was taking out his issues with how he himself used to be out on Ivan. Beau did well at the challenge when a bunch of little girls followed after him. He fell prey to Fiona's pixie dust, once again, when she used him as the villain in her superhero show. Jonathan was voted out, to Beau's surprise. He told Beau that he lost his meds but was afraid to tell him, not wanting Beau to look at him any differently. Beau assured Jonathan that he didn't and they hugged goodbye.

After Jonathan's elimination, Beau attempted to become friends with Ophelia, Fiona, and Hedda, in Riled Animals, never having been in the game without a best friend. His attempts were poor, however, and after he got hit by Fiona's glitter, again, Ophelia helped him to the medical tent. Beau returned, becoming really friendly with Chef Hatchet. Chris got jealous, and for the animal finding challenge had Beau attempt to catch a bear. Beau put on a bear costume, though he left off the shirt, and eventually attracted a bear. He removed his bear head after the bear acted attracted to him. The bear chased him, but was later revealed to be Izzy. Creigh made Beau question why he tried to stay in good shape, in Test Subjection. Chef brought his new friend Beau a box of donuts, as opposed to the slop that everyone else had to eat. The challenge required the contestants to pass a test submitted by Chef, and Beau passed his, ignoring Chef's request to look at his 'beautiful love interest'.

Beau confided in Creigh that he didn't think he would do well in the competition, in Poetry Slam Dunk. He admitted that he felt insecure about how mean he used to be, and felt that he didn't deserve good things on account of how he was. Creigh told him that everyone makes mistakes, but they can use those mistakes to learn and grow. Beau tackled Creigh with a hug, and wrote down on a piece of paper what Creigh said in order to remind himself when he felt down. Beau struggled with the gloomy poetry challenge, and was denied help from other contestants. His poem was a list of things he found to be gloomy. Beau ended up being eliminated.

## Trivia

* Beau is named as such because 'Beau’ is another word for boyfriend.
* Beau was one of my favorite characters to write for.
* Beau is loosely based on Justin from Total Drama Island. I wanted to write a handsome character with more depth than Justin received.
* Beau isn’t open about his struggle with controlling himself around women in Total Drama Tropics. This and his extremely close friendship with Yancy why Sebastian concludes that he is gay.
* While implied, before meeting his future wife, Beau was incredibly promiscuous. He fathered a child with a fling without his knowledge.
* In a planned fantasy story about characters based on alternate reality versions of characters from my main series, Beau was going to appear as a version of himself that was a stranded survivor on the island from Tropics. This Beau would have been the spin off series villain, and it would have been revealed that he systematically murdered the male plane crash survivors, excluding Dante, to have no competition with the women.
* I intentionally made Beau pale, as other "hot" male characters on Total Drama have a darker skin tone. I wanted to avoid comparison to Justin or Alejandro with the character model.
* Beau is meant to be the stereotypical character that uses their looks to their advantage. The difference is that he had a change of heart prior to the show, yet still attracted the opposite sex.
* Beau's character in general is one of the more adult topics I've tried to cover, though I attempted to keep it more toned down than it could have been. He was originally intended to be in Total Drama Reality, but was moved to a story with a PG-13 rating just to be safe.
* There are actually several moments where Beau could be mistaken for gay, for those who didn't know his background or internal struggle.
	+ Beau complimenting girls and then apologizing is meant to be assumed as him not wanting to lead them on.
	+ His blushing being mistaken as feeling uncomfortable about not reciprocating attraction.
	+ Not wanting to room with the girls.
	+ Him telling Sebastian he didn't want the girls going crazy for him, misleadingly leading them on.
	+ Feeling nervous when Willow asked if he wanted to make out.
	+ Being alone with Yancy, often, or whispering, laughing, or complimenting him.
	+ Wetting his pants in order to make Yancy feel better, who did the same thing.
	+ Yancy being overly protective of Beau.
	+ Being embarrassed when asked about who he might have a crush on.
	+ Being seen sleeping with Yancy in the same bed.
	+ Being heard calling Yancy "hot".
	+ Wearing Yancy's clothes.
	+ Hugging and telling Yancy he loved him when he was eliminated.
* When Yancy asked Beau if he was awake and was surprised Yancy knew, it meant that he has so much trouble controlling his thoughts that it's hard for him to fall asleep.
* Renee saying the old cliche, "All the really cute guys are either gay or taken" was meant to refer to the fact that Beau isn't gay, but taken. This was meant to be grasped by the reader, and not Renee herself.
* Al's couple name for Beau and Yancy, 'Beauyancy', is meant to sound like 'buoyancy'.
* At some point, I thought of writing that Beau's potential girlfriend was blind, but that was too cheesy, even for me.
* Beau was eliminated before Dante and Topher's dramatic confrontation because I couldn't think of a storyline for him stronger than some of the other characters.
* Beau mentions his fitness routine to Jonathan as 'Beau-flex'. This is an obvious reference to the Boflex fitness equipment.
* Beau refers to Jonathan as as 'Jon boy' at one point, in reference to a character from the TV show 'The Waltons'.
* Beau's experience with the little girls following him in the challenge was based on when I was at a clothing store and noted a little girl staring at a fairly attractive guy in the store.
* Beau's original storyline for All-Stars was going to be quite different. He was planned to get ninth place, leaving the game after Chris told him that his wife had been in a car accident, leaving her paralyzed. Beau would then act as her caregiver from that point on, highlighting his devotion to his wife. Oddly enough, a contestant from American Idol had a similar background after I'd already decided to drop the idea.
* My second plan for Beau was for his wife to give birth prematurely, and Beau dropping out of the competition to be by her side. The baby would have been fine in the long run, but I still thought both story lines were somewhat cruel to Beau, though I wanted to show that he cared a lot about his wife and family. I decided to let him stay further after deciding that he would be perfect for taking Ivan out of the competition, and that a few contestants had already dropped out of the competition.
