Duncan (Total Drama, seasons 3-5)

Warning: If editing, don't replace Bad Qualities and Good Qualities respectively to Why He Sucks and Redeeming Qualities respectively as it will cause an edit war. Plus, most fans of the show, even people who hate the show like him.

Duncan is a character on the 2007 Teletoon/Cartoon Network show "Total Drama Island". He was a member of the Killer Bass team in that season. He was one of the 15 contestants to return for "Total Drama Action", where he would be placed on the Screaming Gaffers team. He would make it to the final two with Beth and be crowned the winner at the end. He would return to "Total Drama World Tour", where he would be the first contestant to quit the season. However, he was found by Gwen and Courtney in "I See London..." and become a member of Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot. Duncan was one of the 14 contestants to return in "Total Drama All-Stars", where he would be placed on the Villainous Vultures (with the misplaced Gwen). He would switch teams with Courtney and become a Heroic Hamster for saving Gwen in "Saving Private Leachball".

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He bullies Harold for his own entertainment. This would be a common gag in "If You Can't Take The Heat..." and "Basic Straining".
 * 2) *He made Harold wet his pants in "The Big Sleep" and drew a mustache on him (it was revealed that he did this in "Haute Campture/After The Dock Of Shame") in "Dodgebrawl".
 * 3) *In the former, he and his friends teach Harold a lesson on personal hygiene by taking his clothes after seeing Harold's underwear during his morning exercises. The series of pranks continue until Harold wakes up naked at the Dock of Shame in the presence of the show's remaining female contestants.
 * 4) *In the latter, with Geoff's help, he would make s'mores out of Harold's underwear, give him a wedgie with a fishing rod, give him kitchen grease, and smear peanut butter on Harold's bed. This act of torment was what caused Harold to change the votes to eliminate Courtney as revenge in the first place.
 * 5) *As a result, he is (indirectly) responsible for antagonizing Courtney and eventually villainizing Gwen later on.
 * 6) He never takes responsibility for his bad actions. In "3:10 to Crazytown", he still bullies Harold because of how he cheated Courtney out in "Basic Straining". Yet Duncan fails to realize that his continual bullying was what caused Harold to change the votes to eliminate Courtney! Somehow, he thinks Harold did this on his own will.
 * 7) His abuse on Harold (as mentioned above) is not that entertaining to some fans.
 * 8) He tied Geoff up for not voting off Bridgette in "Hide and Be Sneaky". But he would lose it if he were told to vote off Courtney if she were still around then, proving he’s insensitive to people’s feelings.
 * 9) He kicks Harold when Leshawna was eliminated in "Super Hero-ld". This proves how uncaring Duncan is, as he neither forgave Harold for losing Leshawna nor thanked him for helping the guys with voting off Leshawna. Duncan also threatened to tell Leshawna about Harold picking his nose in his sleep if he refused to vote off Leshawna.
 * 10) He cheated in the competition more times than others. The most infamous example was in "The Princess Pride", where Justin saw Duncan cheat in the bridge challenge and Chris didn't care.
 * 11) He flat out laughs at Lindsay's accidental elimination in "Rock n' Rule". If being in the bottom two for the third time was bad enough, his reaction to Lindsay's elimination was worse as he was the only one not disappointed. Even Courtney looked at Lindsay disappointingly.
 * 12) He clearly doesn’t care about his girlfriends, Courtney and Gwen. He comments on how attractive they are on several occasions and is responsible for their eliminations so that should speak for itself. While Courtney forcing Duncan to change himself is not ethical, she at least shows she cares for him. He inevitably loses interest in Courtney due to her control over him and cheats on her with Gwen in "I See London...", which later causes massive heat against Gwen, resulting in one of the most dramatic love triangles in animation history. This could have been avoided if he simply talked with Courtney and break up with her due to her treatment of him in the last season and ongoing but he did the opposite and caused Gwen to be hated.
 * 13) He was responsible for Gwen's elimination in "Picnic at Hanging Dork" due to him throwing a dingo at Cody, who ended up dizzy and accidentally voted off Gwen.
 * 14) His actions in "World Tour" were what caused Gwen to be placed on the Villainous Vultures, and Courtney being on the Heroic Hamsters (for some reason), in "Total Drama All-Stars". Even Chris and Courtney admit that Gwen deserved to be a Villainous Vulture for being a "boyfriend stealer" and being "The New Heather", a nickname Gwen received when he and Gwen's kiss was revealed.
 * 15) After having to put up with being called "good", Duncan goes out of his way and destroys Chris McLean's mansion, although Chris arguably had it coming for his behavior, but still. This act resulted in Duncan getting arrested by the RCMP in "You Regatta Be Kidding Me".

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite the above mentioned, Duncan has proved to have a good side; i.e., finding DJ a new bunny.
 * 2) He was a great team player that he made it to the merge four times in a row. Although, he had to return in "World Tour" to achieve this.
 * 3) He defended Lindsay after Heather backstabbed her.
 * 4) He is a fairly strong competitor. He had the best placements as: 4th (TDI), Winner (TDA), 5th (TDWT), and 8th (TDAS).
 * 5) Duncan cared for Justin, Harold, and DJ in a "secret" footage that Chris showed in "The Aftermath: IV".
 * 6) He finally received his comeuppance by getting arrested in "Total Drama All-Stars" for blowing up Chris' mansion as well as the mess he made in World Tour.
 * 7) Drew Nelson did a good job voicing him.
 * 8) His design (although somewhat ugly) is passable.
