Zoke

Zoke is the het ship between Zoey and Mike from the Total Drama fandom.

Canon
Mike and Zoey interact from the moment they meet on the way to the island and are both placed on the Mutant Maggots. They appear to get along quickly from the get-go, with Zoey seeing him as a sweet guy and Mike seeing her as a nice, good girl. However, due to Mike's multiple personality disorder, the way he sees Zoey changes when one of his other personalities takes control. Mike tries to explain it to Zoey as an act, but it becomes even more difficult when Vito, a more masculine, aggressive side, begins to make moves on their fellow teammate Anne Maria, bringing conflict and sets a strain on their relationship. Even after Anne Maria left, Mike's personalities would still show up and confuse Zoey. However, in Grand Chef Auto, Mike finally reveals his multiple personality disorder to Zoey (after conquering them), and she accepts them. From here on, they officially start their relationship.

In the next season, the two of them are still a couple and again on the same team. At first, everything goes well for the two, however, things take a turn for the worst when Scott accidentally unleashes a dark personality inside Mike. However, Zoey begins to worry about Mike's recent change of behavior and his inability to summon his alternate personalities. After being warned about his evil alternate, Mal, by Duncan, Zoey begins to have second thoughts about Mike. Initially, she believes Mike is still in control after he saves her. She eventually finds the truth about him when she discovers a DVD containing Mal's path of destruction during the entire season. Despite this, Zoey decides to bring Mike to the final two with her, hoping she can find a way to restore him. After Mike resets his brain, getting rid of all of his multiple personalities, he gains full control of his body and reunites with Zoey, finally sharing their first kiss.

Fanon
The ship is a major base-breaker, if not a "Scrappy", of the fandom.

Many fans, especially younger ones, love the ship and root for them to finally be together, eventually getting their wish.

Other fans, especially older ones, accuse the two of being bland, not having a personality outside of each other, being a part of Spotlight-Stealing Squad, and being remarkably dumbed down in their second season where their plot dragged on.
