Parker Preston is a main character in Seasons 5-7 of Bunk'd. He is played by Trevor Tordjman.
Personality
Parker is described as "a witty charmer with an inherent likability" despite the cocky demeanor he's picked up as a member of an ultra-wealthy family. It turns out he's the only Preston who cares about a deed giving descendants of great-great-grandfather Preston a 15 percent stake in Camp Kikiwaka. Now, Parker shows up at Kikiwaka determined to implement over the top ideas to make the camp overwhelmingly successful but it quickly becomes clear that he'll butt heads with Lou over what success looks like. When the Preston family agrees to finance another kids recreational venue for Lou to establish in Dusty Tush, Wyoming, Parker joins the staff as the official Activities Director for the new Kikiwaka Ranch.
Why He Isn't Fit to Be a Co-Owner
- Parker Preston is an annoying character and is a rip-off of Xander and Jorge.
- He's a spoiled brat who wants to make Camp Kikiwaka more "modern", which fails.
- Much like WHIFtBaC-O #1, he's also kind of a ripoff of Luke, seeing that they both break dance (Although it's more entertaining when the latter did it).
- Although it's a mean spirited out of character moment for Lou, she had a good reason to not like him in the first place.
- He doesn't really do anything to make Camp Kikiwaka or Kikiwaka Ranch improved.
- He can be perceived as irritating and intolerable.
- His humor is weak, and cringe-worthy.
- His name can sound like it is backwards to some, wouldn't it be better if it was Preston Parker.
- He's also pretty self-centered at times, although deep down he tries not to be.
- Heck, he even is a clone of Dirk Mann from Bizzardvark, which is the fourth character he rips off.
- Overall, he's yet another cashcow character who nobody asked for.
Redeeming Qualities That Are the "Next Level"
- It turns out that Parker came from an ultra-wealthy family that favors his sister over him, which explains his selfish behavior.
- Despite what WHIFtBaC-O#9 says, he at least tries not to be self-centered as he tries to prove himself to Lou that he can be more responsible and dependable.
- Trevor Tordjman did a decent job portraying him.
- As of season 6, his character is starting to improve a bit.
Trivia
- Trevor Tordjman, the same actor who plays Parker also plays as Bucky from the Zombies franchise.
