Tom and Jen are The Fashion Bloggers competing in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.
Team[]
Jen and Tom are best friends and world-renowned fashion bloggers who can’t wait to see the world together. They blog every day about what’s hot and what’s not and are sure that their fabulous taste and trending skills will guarantee their victory.
Personality[]
Tom[]
Tom is confident and tries hard, have 16 years, but doesn’t have many skills beyond understanding fashion and trends. He tends to comically overreact to failure, scary challenges, winning, losing, lattes… everything.
Jen[]
Jen is sweet. She is constantly working on her tan and often falls victim to the allure of spontaneous shopping sprees. The two have plans to go far in the Race while teaching the other contestants a little something about competing with style!
Season 1[]
Tom[]
Tom is first introduced in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1 with his partner and fellow fashion blogger, Jen, believing they will win the race in style. They are the first to arrive at the sky deck for the scare challenge but are frightened by the skywalk and hesitate to do the challenge. Tom holds up several teams to complain about the helmets being unfashionable. Their cowardice costs them their lead, but they eventually do the challenge, with Tom holding onto Jen for dear life, and make it on the second flight to Morocco.
After placing tenth in Morocco, Tom and Jen are excited in French is an Eiffel Language when it is revealed they will be going to Paris. They accidentally hinder the Father and Son team, due to getting hit by the rug they threw. Once the bloggers arrive in Paris, their taxi gets a flat tire in the middle of a shopping district. Tom attempts to fight the urge to go shopping but is unable to pass up the opportunity and the two eagerly run into the nearest store. Despite this detour, the two perform well during the challenge, with Tom posing for the caricature, all the while carrying their shopping bags. During the cheese rowing, Tom is forced to carefully balance the weight of the shopping on the cheese. Despite this handicap, they manage to achieve seventh place. In Mediterranean Homesick Blues, the Bloggers were supposed to take a train to Calanque de Maubois, but instead take a detour and arrive via a yacht owned by the Prince of Monaco.
Tom and Jen's relationship is tested in A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket. During the episode, Tom buys a collection of fez hats, finding them stylish, and plans to make them "happen". While supportive of Tom's new fashion trend, Jen is not as enthusiastic about the hats and is hesitant to put hers on. Things escalate when Carrie brings up the question of who started their blog and the two begin to disagree, with the both of them asserting that they, themselves, started it. They continue to argue throughout the episode until Tom has to compete in the Botch or Watch. Not being as athletic as Jen, Tom struggles to perform the gymnastic routine, failing to do the final flip correctly each time. This concerns his partner, and after Tom injures himself in another attempt, Jen runs to Tom, doing a flip, and apologizes for the fight. Tom apologizes as well and after finally completing the challenge, the two race against the Daters to the Chill Zone. Sadly, they are beaten to the Chill Zone and are cut from the race. Despite their elimination, Tom is happy to have competed on the race and believes that they performed great, leaving with their bond stronger than ever.
Tom and Jen reappear in A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars with the other eliminated teams, applauding as the race to the final Chill Zone commences. They are last seen in the final group shot at the end of the episode.
Jen[]
Jen is first introduced in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1 with her partner and fellow fashion blogger, Tom, where she gives a shout out to the fans of their blog. They gain an early lead after being the only ones to take the first elevator, despite that all the buttons were accidentally pushed and are the first team to arrive for the 'scare' challenge. However, she and Tom are frightened by the sky-walk and hesitate to do the challenge, long enough for other teams who are also doing the 'scare' challenge to catch up to them. They eventually do the challenge and make it to the second plane. During the challenge in the following episode, Jen was shown warning Tom to stop drinking the stew too fast to avoid getting any stain on his shirt, which Tom agreed. They finish in tenth place. In French is an Eiffel Language, both Jen and Tom are ecstatic when the next location is revealed to be Paris, the "fashion capital of the universe". After unintentionally causing one team to get into an accident, the two arrive in Paris where their taxi gets a flat tire in the middle of a shopping district. Jen sees this as a sign that they are destined to go shopping, and despite Tom showing reluctance at abandoning the vehicle, the two eagerly run into the nearest store. After a while, the two finally arrive at the location of the challenge, where Jen has to draw a caricature of Tom. The two make it through the catacombs safely, though they are scared off by the shadow of a rat, and eventually make it to the Seine River. Realizing that their raft will not fit both of them and their shopping bags, Jen makes a "big sacrifice" to get her hair wet and jumps into the river to push their raft. They finish in seventh place.
Jen displays her magnetic charisma and charm throughout the following episodes as she and Tom breeze through the race with poise and style. This is especially evident in Bjorken Telephone, where Jen is able to receive the travel tip by simply complimenting the local on her dress without the need to say the Icelandic phrase. Her friendship with Tom is put to the test in A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket, when they get into an argument after Carrie inquires about the origin of their fashion-focused blog. Throughout the episode, the two bicker over who came up with the idea which leads to them going out of their way to hurt one another. While taking part in the Botch or Watch, Tom crashes into a lamp, electrocuting himself. In response, Jen gives a look of concern and comes to his aid, apologizing to him for their fight. The two make up and Tom finishes the challenge just in time to race against Stephanie and Ryan to the Chill Zone. However, they do not make it in time, and the Bloggers are cut from the race. As the pair departs, Jen explains that she was happy to do the race with Tom and that their near-death experiences were worth it in the end before being surrounded by bats.
In A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars, Jen appears with the other eliminated teams, applauding as the finalists race to the final Chill Zone. She is last seen in the final group shot.
