They soften towards each other and eventually begin a romantic relationship. He places fourth in the first series. In the spinoffs, he’s a finalist in Total Drama Action. He then appears in Total Drama-All Stars, and he was forced to return to Total Drama World Tour.

Noah was a contestant in the original Total Drama Island. He was part of the Screaming Gophers. While he’s intelligent and witty, he comes off as sarcastic and pessimistic.

His cynical attitude doesn’t attract many friends, though he finds an ally in Owen. For this reason, he’s voted off early on. In the spinoffs, Noah stars in Total Drama World Tour, Revenge of the Island, and the Ridonculous Race.

You don’t want to mess with Captain Watermelon. Beloved hero that he is, you’ll have the whole neighborhood after you. And that’s if Captain Watermelon doesn’t take care of you himself. Though he sounds like Johnny 2×4 (voiced by David Avalon), don’t get confused. He’s way tougher and is not afraid to take you on.

Getting Captain Watermelon’s swagger is a little hard to do but getting his look is pretty straight-forward. Start with a fake watermelon, the kind used for decorating. Cut that in half, hollow it out, and add in some eye holes and you’re ready to go! Or you can go for the watermelon helmet option.

With your trusty watermelon helmet ready, finish off the outfit with a white sandals, white pants, and a yellow shirt. A bleach pen will make it easy to draw in the lines on the shirt for a closer screen match. And of course you don’t want to forget plank. Blue paint for his mouth and a white banana decorated with eyes turns him into a great sidekick for the courageous Captain Watermelon!
