Gidgette

Gidgette is the het ship between Bridgette and Geoff from the Total Drama fandom.

Total Drama: Island


Bridgette and Geoff both sign up for the reality show, Total Drama: Island and both are selected. As soon as Bridgette arrives, the two start talking, showing signs of mutual attraction. The contestants are split into two teams and both Geoff and Bridgette are put into the Killer Bass, which seems to make them happy.

The Killer Basses lose the first challenge and during the ceremony in which it is decided which competitor will be eliminated from the competition, there is an intense exchange of glances between the two blondes.

When the two teams have to compete in a talent show, one of the campers chosen to perform for the Killer Bass is Geoff who appears enthusiastic about the idea of going on TV. Bridgette reminds him that he's already on TV and it makes him euphoric. When the two teams have to compete in a talent show, one of the campers chosen to perform for the Killer Bass is Geoff who appears enthusiastic about the idea of going on TV. Bridgette reminds him that he's already on TV and it makes him euphoric. He later bets that Bridgette won't be able to stand upright for twenty minutes. The next challenge involves a night in the woods. As their team pitches the tent, Geoff tells Bridgette that he can pitch a tent like a boy, which he realizes sounds wrong and insulting and that it offends Bridgette. Geoff tries to fix it but fails. The next morning, however, we see that Geoff and Bridgette have slept embraced.

When Geoff makes fun of their teammate Tyler, after his elimination, Bridgette joins him, which is not quite like her. Maybe it was Geoff who dragged her, as her line ties in with the boy's.

During a canoe challenge, Geoff hopes Bridgette will choose him as a mate, but she asks her friend Courtney and it seems to shock him. They later both tell their respective partner that Geoff made a heart-shaped clay bowl decorated with a photomontage that puts Geoff and Bridgette next to each other, with a description that reads "I hope you think of me every time you leave. small change in this ". DJ (Geoff's partner) then advises him to be more subtle and not to woo Bridgette in such a cheeky way. In fact, Bridgette finds the gift shoddy and ugly. Later the surfer agrees with Geoff on the way to go. Geoff then smiles at her, but Bridgette asks him annoyed what she is looking at and the boy immediately looks away from her. During the challenge, Geoff gets hurt (he gets a splinter in his leg). Bridgette and the rest of the team take the injury very seriously, although it's nothing serious. At DJ's request, Bridgette takes care of Geoff by being first aid practice, which allows the two to get close. After one of their mates Harold uses the canoe's paddles as firewood, Bridgette asks how they will get back to camp and Geoff volunteers to push their canoes, but Bridgette worries about his condition and convinces DJ to push. Geoff's determination most likely impresses Bridgette, as she accidentally breaks Geoff's gift and decides to try and fix it.

Bridgette clearly disapproves of the jokes Geoff and DJ play on Harold and stares at them with a frown, even if she doesn't say anything. When DJ tells Bridgette that Geoff has a soft spot for her, the blonde says it's likely and that Geoff is cute. Geoff tells her that she looks good on her when she cooks, but he pisses her off when he compares her to her friend's "really hot mom". DJ pushes Geoff away before he can say anything else that might offend her. Geoff and Bridgette partner in another culinary challenge, in which Bridgette must make sashimi with fugu puffer fish, the most poisonous fish in the world. Despite the high risk of being poisoned by improper preparation, Geoff eats the food prepared by Bridgette showing only slight hesitation.

His confidence turns out to be well placed as he is not poisoned, winning the challenge. Later, to celebrate, Geoff and Bridgette go swimming together. Bridgette admires Geoff for being brave enough to eat her fish and he gives her a smile and tells her he trusts her. When DJ's Bunny is in danger, Bridgette tries to help Geoff retrieve him, but to no avail. She is later seen feeling bad for Geoff when she has to explain what happened to DJ. Bridgette and Gwen find a haiku by an anonymous author dedicated to a girl. Bridgette assumes that the haiku was written by Trent for Gwen, but Gwen believes that the haiku was written by Geoff for Bridgette. The two then end up having a small feud in which they insult each other and bet that the haiku is for themselves. Bridgette categorically defends Geoff and his shortcomings, and is particularly offended when Gwen insinuates that Geoff doesn't even know what a haiku is. However, Geoff admits that he doesn't actually know what a haiku is, which means he's not the author. While extracting information from him, Bridgette discovers that Geoff considers writing his crush's name on the snow with urine as a romantic gesture. Bridgette also discovers that Geoff has a tattoo on her butt, which Geoff is eager to show her. She covers her eyes the first time he shows it, but she looks at him the second time. At one point the teams are disbanded, and Geoff and Bridgette as they talk, they say they enjoyed being the same team. It looks like they are about to kiss, but Chris drags Bridgette into her new cabin (Bridgette is the only female Killer Bass to break up and will then move into the girls' cabin occupied by the female members of the Screaming Gophers) and Geoff tells himself that he will miss the surfer.

Geoff later gives Bridgette a pep talk during the challenge, despite being more of a rival than ever, as the challenge is male versus female, when she is forced to eat meat, despite being a vegetarian.

Bridgette finds that Geoff helps her overcome her moral problems and is able to eat. In the end, the males win and get a weekend in a health club as a prize. Despite this, Geoff looks at the disconsolate nothing, just like Bridgette does, a sign that they already miss each other very much. When Eva forces Lindsay to choose Bridgette to enter the leech-infested barrel, Geoff in an act of chivalry, volunteers to take her place. All losers of the current challenge must be pilloried. Bridgette is brought close to Geoff and it makes them both happy. After realizing that there are more girls, the boys form an alliance. Geoff is very reluctant to join the alliance, not wanting to see Bridgette as an opponent, but ultimately Duncan persuades him. At the end of the episode the alliance decides to eliminate Bridgette due to her athletic ability and her popularity. The plan succeeds and Bridgette is eliminated, before she leaves Geoff Bridgette tells her he will miss him. The blonde says it's the same to her as she is and she's happy the party guy went to say hello and when the talk comes up, Geoff tells Bridgette that he didn't vote for her and she believes him. Again they almost kiss, but having been sprayed by a skunk, Bridgette smells abominable and Geoff ultimately doesn't feel like it, which seems to displease the surfer.

Bridgette's departure has a bad effect on Geoff: the boy becomes desperate and arrives to sing her a song in the confessional, hoping that she hears it from home.

Fanon
Although Gidgette is one of the first ships to be born in the series, it is not particularly popular, perhaps due to the fact that even if the couple had their problems, they always solved them fairly quickly. There are videos, gifs and fanfics dedicated to this couple, but the ship is more likely to appear as a supporting couple in a story than there is a story dedicated to this ship.
