Scott is a country boy who loves to scheme. In his biography, he names his favorite memory from childhood as the first time he caused an argument between his parents. "Scheming Scott", as Chris calls him, is the main antagonist of his debut season. He loves telling others what to do, yet states that he enjoys taking orders as well (albeit only from certain people). Throughout the season, Scott has a devious mind and makes his team lose on purpose. Despite his sly and cunning nature, Scott does not appear to be nearly as intelligent as other antagonists, as shown by his taunting of Fang, or his several injuries. However, in Ice Ice Baby, Dawn implies that Scott has a less devious side to him, and that his nasty side is prominent due to "not being held enough as a child". In Total Drama All-Stars, his better side is seen, and Scott's antagonistic role is shrunk a large amount. His kinder and more bumbling side is exposed, and he begins to form a crush on Courtney.
Speaks in clipped, practical bursts; punctuates with short dockyard metaphors; occasionally grumbles with warm reassurance.
