Bradeth is the het ship between Beth and Brady from the Total Drama fandom.
Canon[]
Total Drama Action[]
MASTERS OF DISASTERS
Beth first brought up her boyfriend, Brady, when she wished that he was on the show so that he could cook them food that was better than Chef's gruel. This peaked Heather's interest as Beth had never mentioned this boyfriend of hers before. Beth explained that she met her boyfriend, Brady, in between TV seasons. As Lindsay pointed out, this would have only been a time frame of two days. Beth said that she and Brady met at the orthodontist, getting their braces off at the same time. She then showed everyone his picture, which depicted a the headshot of an incredibly handsome male model. When her friends saw this, they all started snickering, thinking that this wasn't real. Heather demanded that Beth prove she's dating this man by telling them more about him. Beth started listing some details about his appearance but it was clear she was just reading off the back of his comp card, which Justin found out, having experience in the modeling industry, himself. Leshawna then asked her why she was always hitting on Justin if she was dating Brady and Beth stated that she just couldn't help herself because while Brady was a model, Justin was a supermodel. Nobody believed Beth's story. However, this did not stop her from repeatedly mentioning him throughout the episode.
During the challenge, the contestants had to run across the streets through an earthquake. Justin, Lindsay, and Owen fell into a hole and required Beth to help them out. Beth told them that she wished Brady was here because he had experience saving people's lives, having been on a rescue team, before. Justin cut her off and told her that they needed help from actual real-life living people. Annoyed, Beth shut up and just saved her teammates, herself.
Later, they were all trapped in a flooding submarine, about to drown. Beth stated that things would be better if Brady was there because he's a registered lifeguard. Izzy noted that what would be even better that that is if Brady EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE! While everyone was about to drown, Beth still kept yapping about her boyfriend and how he had experience doing underwater photoshoots, so he knew how to hold his breath for a really long time. Justin noted that his modeling agent wants him to learn that talent too. Beth giggled with glee about this and said that if he could learn how to do this, she'd be happy to have both of Brady and Justin all to herself, suggesting that she wants a polyamorous relationship with the two guys.
OCEAN'S EIGHT ... OR NINE
Beth, Justin, and Lindsay were in the middle of trying to crack a safe that Owen was trapped in and Beth brought up how her boyfriend, Brady had a habit of cracking his knuckles, which she found to be kind of adorable. Justin and Lindsay traded looks over just how weird Beth was being, especially in yet another dire situation. Beth eventually made herself useful by bringing out a perfume can of Desperado, the fragrance of last resort. She claimed that this roasted chicken-scented perfume is what she wore to attract Brady and that if it worked on him, it would work on Owen too. She spritzed the perfume into the vent and the smell of food drove Owen to a violent hunger rage, making him break the safe open and save himself.
$1,000,000 B.C.
Beth was among the many people who got mad when Courtney got special privileges, namely having a PDA, (Personal Digital Assistant) which she could use to contact people outside the show. Beth complained that because she had a boyfriend outside the show, she needs a PDA more than Courtney. Chris told her that if she doesn't like it, she can take it up with the legal department. The legal department was represented by Chef wearing a cloak and a powdered wig, violently smashing a judge's table to pieces with one swing of his gavel. Beth got scared and decided to keep her mouth shut about Brady.
MILLION DOLLAR BABIES
While Courtney was distracted, watching Duncan fight with Harold in a boxing match, Beth stole Courtney's PDA to contact Brady. She started meddling with Courtney's PDA and believed that Brady would be so surprised to hear from him. While she looked around on the PDA, she discovered that Courtney had some incriminating evidence against Leshawna.
SUPER HERO-LD
With little to no context to justify this, Beth told Harold that her boyfriend, Brady, had two dogs named Steve.
CROUCHING COURTNEY, HIDDEN OWEN
Beth slept with a framed photo of Brady. Courtney tried to be nice to Beth (and Brady) but Beth saw right through her charade, knowing that Courtney was only trying to form an alliance with her. Courtney insisted that she was being a true and genuine friend to Beth and proved it by sharing her PDA with her. During the cooking challenge, Courtney got attacked by a giant jellyfish and during the heat of the moment, Beth asked Courtney if she could use her PDA to make a call to her boyfriend, Brady. Courtney obliged, as she fought off the gelatinous beast, telling her that friends let other friends make calls to their boyfriends on their own devices. Later on, Courtney would continue being attacked by sea creatures, while Beth talked to Brady over the PDA, having a playful lover argument about who misses who more.
2008: A SPACE OWEN
Courtney started acting like a jerk to Beth again, telling her that she had a fictional boyfriend. Everyone got packages from their friends outside the TV show and Beth was excited to see that hers was from Brady. When she opened it, she got a candy ring from him. Courtney told her that this looked like a breakup ring and Beth noted that if the ring was lime green, then she'd have a point but because this was cherry red, it was clearly the color of love.
Later in the episode, Beth fell head over heels for Harold, after he helped encourage her to get into a space suit filled with barf and she started kissing him. She stated that she was calling it quits with Brady so that she could give a relationship with Harold a try. Beth then said in the confessional that she was serious about dumping Brady and that if she could, she could also return the candy ring he gave her, except that she already went ahead and ate it.
MUTINY ON THE SOUNDSTAGE
Beth talked about her boyfriend, Brady, in the confessional, again, apparently being in love with him again. She started that although Brady already loves her heaps, she'l be excited to win the million dollars for him just to help make herself seem a little more appealing to him.
THE AFTERMATH IV: WHO WANT'S TO PICK A MILLIONAIRE?
After Beth unfortunately lost the million dollars to Duncan, she sat sadly in her throne, really bummed out that she had come all this way just to lose. However, her spirits were soon lifted when a familiar face came out from behind the curtains. It was none other than her repeatedly aforementioned boyfriend, Brady. Beth and Brady ran up to each other and hugged amid the million dollar celebration. This came as a huge shock to all of the contestants, as they had spent the entire season believing that Beth's boyfriend was a complete lie. Lindsay was blown away by just how handsome Brady was. Heather and Leshawna were too. Justin admitted that Brady was so much hotter than he was and it was clear that he was really jealous. Beth was so delighted to see Brady there and claimed that she didn't care if she lost the million dollars. She had all the prize she needed right there. Brady, being the air-headed dimwit he was, misunderstood what Beth meant by this and asked "Oh, was I supposed to bring a prize?". Everybody looked at him like he was a complete moron. Beth even looked at him like an idiot for a second too, before going back to normal and saying "I love losing."
Fanon[]
Although Bradeth isn't a very commonly recognized ship in the fandom, given how short their on-screen interactions were, it's the most popular ship for Beth, especially due to it being the only canon relationship she ever had in the show. Shippers greatly appreciate how an ugly girl was given a hot boyfriend, proving to viewers that even if you, yourself, are a traditionally unattractive girl who doesn't look like a stereotypical supermodel in a magazine, you can still score a smoking hot boyfriend if you try hard enough. The only issue with their ship is that throughout Total Drama Action, Beth had constantly strayed from her loyalty to Brady by hitting on Justin and also making moves on Harold, while she was supposedly dating her boyfriend. She even outright stated in "Masters of Disasters", that she "can't help herself" because Justin is a supermodel. Later in that same episode, Beth even hinted at a poly relationship, when she stated that she'd love to him and Brady "both to [her]self". However, knowing Brady, he's probably too stupid to even get that Beth is unfaithful to him anyway.
There is also a party of critics who believe that Beth and Brady's relationship was always fake from the get go up until the very end. Some believe that Brady only showed up in the finale because of Beth's fame. This is further backed up by Beth's alternate ending, which could suggest that Brady suddenly had a presence in Beth's life the moment she became a millionaire, clearly just wanting a share of the winnings for himself. It's also been theorized that Beth knew of Brady's intentions the entire time and made a deal with him that she'd give him a share of her winnings if she could gain the status of being an average girl who dated a model.
