Junior (Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race)



Dwayne Jr. "Junior" is a contestant and supporting protagonist on Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race as a member of The Father & Son team with Dwayne.

Personality
Junior loves his father, but is getting to that age where he's starting to think of him as embarrassing. He's cool with going on this trip because they could win a million bucks and he gets to miss school, but he'd rather listen to his music than to his dad's boring stories. Junior is going to do his best to look cool while he's on TV; his dad being there to ruffle his hair does not help.

In None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1, Junior debuts onto the race along with his father Dwayne. They gain an early lead and are the first to get their clue. They originally chose Scares for the challenge, but due to an accident which involved Dwayne pushing all the buttons, they have no choice but to take the stairs instead.
