Biography
The muscular farm-boy. At a glance, he seems tough because he's so big, muscular and brawny, but in reality he's very sweet and gentle. Rodney grew up with his dad and 5 little brothers on a farm. As a result he's painfully shy and blushing around girls, but poetic and eloquent when he's alone in the confessional. We later discover his eloquence stems from extensive reading of romance novels. He's a serial monogamist and falls hard for any girl who's sweet to him, and as soon as another girl is sweet to him (more like control and hurt him) he falls for her and then feels like he has to "break up" with the first girl. Since he babbles incoherently whenever he talks to girls none of them ever understand they were ever in a relationship or that they're being dumped.
Personality
Rodney is a cute and handsome muscular farm-boy who is very shy. He can also be very sweet, caring, and concerned for others. Unfortunately, his most useful quality is his large size as opposed to his brain. He tends to mistake simple moves from the female contestants - such as offering him food, touching his hand, or warning him about feces on the ground - as acts of love, and immediately falls for them. To his credit, he is determined to be monogamous and is considerate of the girl who loses his affections. The subject never reciprocates his feelings. In fact, the girl in question usually doesn't even share regular conversations with Rodney. As a result, she is always dumbfounded when he breaks up with her. Rodney is quite poetic while in the confessional; however, in the face of a girl, he has a terrible habit of stumbling over his words until they do not flow together at all.
Total Drama: Pahkitew Island
In So, Uh, This Is My Team?" he is first seen sitting next to Shawn, who is obsessed with his brains. As the zeppelin crashes, he, Beardo, Amy, Shawn, Leonard, Topher, Sugar, Ella, and Chef Hatchet are seen falling. He then opens his pack, and a parachute opens which surprises him, causing him to float in the air, and later lands safely on the ground with Scarlett, Ella, and Topher, and is placed on Team Kinosewak, which is also known as the Floating Salmon. When Jasmine grabs the supsenders of his overalls and gives him instructions, his cheeks get blushy and he falls in love with her, and then Amy grabs his ear, calling him "mumbles. Rodney, Amy, and Samey, get wood for the material and he pushes them in a wheelbarrow. He and his team work on the treehouse, causing them to win the challenge.
In I Love You, Grease Pig!, Amy punches his stomach to get him to stop talking. His cheeks get rosy, causing him to fall in love with her. At the challenge, he carries a pig using the greasy slope, but then tumbles and hits his "biscuits." During the end, his team wins and he attempts to break up with Jasmine.
In Twinning Isn't Everything, he is at breakfast with his team and later falls in love with Jasmine once again, his cheeks getting blushy, and also in the confessional. At the challenge he approaches Sugar, who is about to throw a balloon at her. She then throws a snake at him, causing him to scream and run away. Rodney messes up his words and then surprisingly puts his hands to his chest, realizing that Amy has the voice of an angel. He manages to break up with her, and then Dave throws a balloon at him, causing him to be covered in pink jelly, and runs away sobbing.
In I Love You, I Love You Knots, Scarlett stops him from stepping in raccoon feces, which makes his cheeks blush and fall in love with her. At breakfast, Samey offers Rodney some berries, his cheeks getting rosy and falling in love with her eventually. At the challenge, he gets electrocuted several times after he refuses to do a truth question. When it's his turn again, he doesn't want any more truth questions, and then he gets excited and commands Clucky that he lives on a farm and eats six eggs a day and rubs his tummy. At the tie breaker, Ella is selected for Team Maskwak and he flexes his muscles saying, "Bring on the scares!". When he opens his bag, his fingers are too big. Clucky then electrocutes Rodney and his team, causing them to lose the challenge. At the elimination ceremony, he and Scarlett are in the bottom two. He is eventually eliminated because he didn't answer any truth questions.
In Lies, Cries, and One Big Prize, he is managed to select a helper, but however, it doesn't turn out to be.

Audition Tape
Like the other contestants, Rodney makes an audition tape. He says that if he is picked for Total Drama he will be leaving special ones behind. However he cannot decided who exactly is his true love, and ends up thinking that they'll worry about him finding another. Then he says what the chances are of that happening. In it, we are also foreshadowed his weakness for falling for several women.
