Jock

Jock is the het shipping between Brick and Jo from the Total Drama fandom.

Canon
As two of the most physically adept members of the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island cast, both have a conflict with each other during their time together on the Mutant Maggots, and later on the Toxic Rats. Both often compete with each other over leadership of their team as well as to see who is the more athletic contestant. Additionally, the two have contrasting views about teammates; while Jo favors victory over ensuring the safety of others, Brick has a strict code to not leave anyone behind. However, both do at least have some respect for each other, and think of each another as a strong competitor.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of the friendly competition between the two. The fact that Jo was the main person Brick interacted with and that Brick was one of three main contestants Jo interacted with also helped. The ship was also further fueled by the fact that a similar conflict took place in the preceding season, which made a lot of fans believe Jock would go in the same or at least similar route.

As a result, the ship quickly became the most popular ship for both characters included. It's also the most written ship for both characters on Archive of Our Own. Its main ship rival is that of Jo and Lightning, however Jock wins in popularity. A "Brick vs. Jo" is also the most common choice for the final 2 of the season for many fans creating their own elimination orders.

As a result of the ship's popularity, many fans were disappointed when Jo's conflict with Lightning took over her conflict with Brick. They were also disappointed when it turned out Brick would not compete in Total Drama All-Stars, with one of the reasons being that the "Heroes vs. Villains" formula would make for some more competition between Brick and Jo, as they would be on the opposing teams.
