PriBow is the friendship between Priya and Bowie from the Total Drama fandom.
Canon[]
Overview[]
Bowie and Priya are not on the best of terms with each other, with the majority of their interactions being conflicts. When they started the game, they were on different teams, so there was little interaction. When the teams merged, however, Bowie would try more and more to manipulate Priya but Priya was too savvy to fall for his tricks. It all came down them them being the finalists of Season 1 and Bowie losing to Priya in the ultimate roll-race down the mountains. In Season 2, they became captains of opposing teams again and had little to no direct encounters. However, it was clear that Priya still hated him.
Total Drama Island (2023)[]
THE LAUNCHBACK OF NOTRE GAME
Bowie first acknowledged Priya's existence in this episode. He takes notice of Priya's excessive training for Total Drama and brings up in the confessional that Priya's not the only one who's been training for this show. This sets up the soon-to-be polarizing conflict between this couple that will later go on to be explored later on in the season.
PADDLE FIELD EARTH
Priya and Bowie both vote for each other at the elimination ceremony, due to their respective alliances having a vendetta against each other. Bowie's alliance with Emma and Priya's alliance with Julia. Neither one of them goes home, however as it's Z who goes home thanks to his stupidity.
TORTOISE RIGORMORTIS
Priya brushes off Bowie as a serious threat and instead chooses to vote off Emma, worrying that she is a bigger threat.
CAVED BY THE BELL
Bowie makes an attempt to join the super alliance with Priya and Millie. He goes up to them and starts sweet-talking them first, complimenting their wonderful outfits and superhero them they've got going on there. Priya knows where this is going and just tells Bowie to skip the butt-kissing and cut to the chase about his true intent of forming an alliance and voting off Julia. Bowie gasps and asks Priya if mind-reading is one of her superpowers. Priya is still not flattered and just tells Bowie that there's no chance of him forming an alliance with her. Bowie comes clean and states that he wants this alliance so that they can all vote off Julia, who is the biggest threat to the team. Priya proves to still be skeptical about having Bowie in their alliance but Bowie raises a good point when he notes that he is not Julia. He says that he wants to pretend to form an alliance with Julia so that he can throw the challenge, allowing for Millie and Priya to win. Priya realizes that after they vote off Julia, they'll inevitably be facing him in the finale. Bowie assures them that unlike Julia, he fights fair. The super alliance agrees to Bowie's alliance and they have an unspoken agreement for the majority of the challenge. Near the end, Bowie and Priya run into each other and have an argument over how things are going. Bowie is mad at Priya and Millie for not getting any more than one token and Priya is mad at Bowie for doing such a lousy job with holding back Julia. Fortunately, in the end, Priya comes in with plenty of tokens to win that she got from the sea monster. In Bowie and Julia's fake alliance, they agree to vote off Priya. However, Bowie betrays Julia and votes her off instead. With that, both alliances are terminated. However, Bowie's rivalry with Priya is just beginning as he sneaks Millie's diary into her bed, where Priya reads all the bad stuff she's been saying about her. Bowie eavesdrops on the impending argument and revels in the fact that he drove such a wedge between their friendship.
MAGMA CUM LAUDE
Bowie is still glad that he tore Priya and Millie apart just in time for the finale, knowing that because they hate each other now, they'll be an easier pair to beat. Bowie races against Priya and Millie in a raft race across the lava. Priya's raft falls apart and she jumps onto Bowie's raft for safety. Bowie tells Priya to back off but Priya refuses because ... you know, ... she'll die. This gets them into an oar fight with each other. Bowie is about to win by pushing Priya off and Priya gets all teary-eyed and begs Bowie to spare her life so that they can eliminate Millie together. Bowie laughs at this idea and turns her down and Priya calls Bowie's bluff and says this is just because he's scared to face her in the finale. Bowie takes the bait and lets Priya live so that they can both make it to the finish line of the first leg of the challenge together and leave Millie eating their dust. They demonstrate that they work together excellently as a team even if it was for such a short amount of time. After they win that part of the challenge, Priya figures out that Bowie was the one who made her see the diary that Millie wrote and is now really mad at him, amping up her rage for the second leg of the challenge. During the goat-milking challenge, Priya accidentally trips and falls and gets trampled by Bowie's goats. Bowie laughs in her face and mocks her for her misfortune, as he gets into his barf ball and races down the mountain. Priya, however, comes in hot on his heels and they both tumble downward in their milky, milky barf balls before finally hitting the finish line. Ultimately, the winner of the challenge was none other than Priya herself, as she crossed the finish line, when Bowie came up just short of it. At the final campfire ceremony, Priya gets the final marshmallow and Bowie is actually kind of happy for her, proving that he's no sore loser and he can appreciate his opponent winning in a fair game, even if he did play a little dirty with her.

THE PINK PAINTER STRIKES AGAIN
Priya, along with most of the other contestants, gives Bowie a death glare when he returns to the game, still steamed at him for how villainous and treacherous he was last season. She, in particular, calls Bowie's actions "sneaky". Fortunately for her, she and Bowie were both selected as team captains, meaning that they were going to be on opposing teams for the game and therefore, would be out of each others ways.
Fanon[]
Bowie and Priya are both strategic players, who worked together excellently during their brief time allying. With Millie, their super alliance successfully took down Julia. During their brief little "alliance" in the finale, they also demonstrated that they were formidable as a team, combining their top-notch athletic skills to completely dominate Millie by a landslide. It would be kind of nice if these two became boyfriend and girlfriend. PriBow is a rarepair in the fandom. Rival ships include but are not limited to Rajbow, Prileb, and Bowlia.
