Gidgette

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

Canon
In Total Drama Island, Geoff quickly becomes attracted to Bridgette, as soon as she arrives on the island. Signs of their soon to be relationship are even hinted in the opening sequence. Throughout the season, with the help of fellow teammates DJ and Duncan, Geoff tries to get closer to Bridgette. However, the relationship between the two is often a rocky one, as Geoff will say or do something to try to impress her, but will instead end up putting her off. As the season progresses, Bridgette shows signs of returning his feelings, and the two officially become a couple by Haute Camp-ture, becoming inseparable ever since.

In Total Drama Action, their relationship quickly gets on the nerves of their fellow castmates, as they are constantly seen making out with each other. Because of this, the two of them become the first castmates eliminated from the season in a double elimination, much to their own shock. After their elimination, the couple is chosen by the producers to host the new aftermath show. However, their relationship faces a few minor problems as Geoff becomes obsessed with both the show ratings and his popularity. Eventually, with the help of Heather, Leshawna, and Owen, they manage to bring Geoff back to normal. He apologizes to Bridgette and the two continue their relationship. It is revealed in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, that the two at some point got into a fight after Geoff's rising popularity over Bridgette's, and in return for eying another girl, she hit him with her surfboard. However, during a live press conference, the two eventually apologize to each other and the conflict is resolved.

Their relationship takes a turn for the worst when Bridgette competes in Total Drama World Tour without Geoff. During the season, her loyalty to Geoff falters as she falls for the charm of newcomer Alejandro and even kisses him (albeit on accident) in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better. After her early elimination, Bridgette becomes an aftermath guest in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water, where she attempts to sing an apology song to Geoff about her actions, Geoff eventually forgives Bridgette by the end of the episode and the two passionately kiss. After Blaineley sends Bridgette away to Siberia, Geoff is deeply concerned for her safety, and exacts revenge on Blaineley, showing his commitment and love for Bridgette, embarrassing Blaineley on international television. Upon Bridgette's return in Hawaiian Style, the two reunite (albeit after several interruptions), and resume their relationship.

Geoff and Bridgette were supposed to participate in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race together but the latter couldn't make it due to a surfing competition in Australia, leading to Geoff substituting her with his old friend, Brody. Geoff would sometimes talk about Bridgette throughout the race to Brody.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Bridgette and Geoff's canon relationship. It was one of the more popular relationships during Total Drama Island era and that's also when it was at the peak of its popularity. With only two episodes in the competition in Total Drama Action, which they almost entirely spent on kissing, their relationship lost its old popularity. Although their role as the Aftermath hosts helped restore it for some, some fans didn't like Geoff's new "Captain Hollywood" persona. Likewise, Bridgette being attracted to and kissing Alejandro while Geoff wasn't in the competition in Total Drama World Tour didn't endear their relationship to the fans either. However, with them soon making up and continuing their relationship, the ship's popularity grew once more. The Ridonculous Race gave Geoff his best friend, Brody. This resulted in Gidgette getting a ship rival in Breoff, although some fans ship the trio in a polyship.

Although not as popular as during Total Drama Island era, the ship remained as one of the more popular ships. It also gets a lot of praise for being one of only two relationships (or the only one if one were to believe the rumors about Lyler's alleged break-up) that were formed back in the first season to be still together.
