what she says: I’m fine

what she means: honestly gid.get.te is not my favorite ship at all but I can’t help but feel sorry for them. they were two kids in the middle of a summer fling who got unexpectedly popular through aftermath and who most likely felt pressured to stay together well after they were really, really into it because they were such a big deal for so long and they didn’t want to disappoint fans. while they seem okay in later world tour episodes it’s telling they never appear together again and geoff mentioning bridgette in ridonculous race seems more like a formality. nothing feels natural after that point. I’m glad they’ve still managed to be friends through this though, and seeing them in the early island episodes makes me a little sad, knowing what's to come

another addition to the Bridgette ship list I can't believe totally slipped my mind: Bridgette/Gwen??

bridgette !

( rate the character/ship. )

Overall: 8.5!

So, I actually… didn’t think much of Bridgette on my rewatch of Total Drama, which is fitting because I feel like her and several other characters don’t really get properly solidified/have a chance to spread their wings until Action or World Tour. She was actually close to the bottom of the original cast rankings when I did them pre-rewatch/first time viewing of the original seasons.

Now? She’s probably in my top ten!

She and Geoff are fascinating to me, in that I almost feel like their character arcs in Action and World Tour were almost accidental by-products of the plotted character drama for them. I like that everyone’s friend and generally chill Bridgette gets considerably less chill with Geoff’s drastic personality shift, and while she seems to like the fame to an extent definitely seems to enjoy it less and less until she straight-up doesn’t appear in Ridonculous Race. I think it’s extremely telling that it was Geoff and Brody teaming up, both in a way to slowly accept the ebb and flow of Gidgette is definitely part of their character interactions and to show that hey, she’s done with the spotlight for a while.

Nice character bias aside, I think the contrast between trying to be everyone’s friend while simultaneously taking more and more issue with the way the show keeps going and the way fame has changed the people around her is a fun lens to view her character through. World Tour’s Aftermaths really clued me in to things, and while I’m not entirely certain her arc was totally intentional, I’m glad it’s kind of there!

Plus she’s adorable. I have no idea how younger me wasn’t her biggest fan.
