Zoke

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

Canon
Mike and Zoey first met on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, where they immediately fell in love with each other at first sight. The two spent the first episodes bonding with each other. Throughout the season, Mike would often save Zoey's life from danger. Furthermore, Zoey's screams for help would turn out to be the trigger allowing Mike to return to his main personality. Being afraid that Zoey might find him weird, Mike kept his disorder a secret from her. This would cause problems for the two, especially with the formation of a love triangle between Mike and Zoey, who were mutually attracted to each other, and Anne Maria and Vito, Mike's alternate personality, who also shared a mutual attraction to each other and were quicker in upgrading their relationship. Mike's elimination provided a reason for Zoey to hate Scott, who previously managed to trick her into believing he's a good guy. The destruction of a medallion Mike gave her during his elimination also caused Zoey to temporarily gain a much tougher persona.

The two came back for Total Drama All-Stars, where they received the most focus, being the finalists of the season. Although she notices something is wrong, Zoey doesn't catch on tp the fact that Mike's been taken over by his evil personality, Mal, until much later in the season. She blindly believes her boyfriend's claims and falls for Mal's act as Mike, even after warnings from Duncan and Alejandro. She finally finds out about Mal still being in control upon watching camera footage from the season, shortly before a warning from Scott, her previous enemy. However, being desperate to find a way for Mike to return, Zoey chooses to face Mal in the finale instead of Scott. Mal and Zoey face off until Mike gets rid of all of his alternate personalities, which changes the competition to a "friendship finale" instead. The two share their first two kisses and congratulate each other for winning in their respective endings.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Mike and Zoey's canon relationship with each other. It is a major base-breaker, if not a "Scrappy", of the fandom. Many fans, especially younger ones, love the two 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.
