"No way… this show's budget is AWESOME! It's EVERYONE who's been eliminated before us! Ooh! And everyone I'VE eliminated!"
— Mel in awe

Melissa "Mel" Hoggs, labeled The Clubber was the female contest winner of the TDWTDO OC Contest. She was a passenger in Total Drama World Tour Do Over as the season antagonist and self proclaimed captain of Team Pickle, before being transferred over to Team Athens in Jamaica Me Sweat. She returned as a competitor in Total Drama All Stars Do Over as a member of the Villainous Vultures. She returned once more in Total Drama Pahkitew Do Over as a member of the Wâneyihtam Maskwak, before being transferred over to the Pimâpotew Kinosewak in Mo Monkey Mo Problems.

Biography

Mel's carefree, live-for-the-moment lifestyle has always been the epitome of "you only live once", even before the phrase was popular. Growing up with her parents and big sister Roxanne, Mel tended to follow her older sister and friends' examples. Nowadays, she lives in a cruddy apartment with her sister and takes joy in breaking the rules and pushing her limits to the extreme, throwing the wildest parties imaginable. (Heck, you'd probably think you imagined it when you wake up the next morning, if you remember it at all.) Mel also has a knack for using her appearance to lure boys into her life of danger and mess with their minds. When she ran into trouble with the police once (of many times), nearly getting arrested, she managed to bribe the cops with "favors" of their choice. Of course, that's not to say Mel isn't weak to the attraction of others- she gets bored with her boyfriends within the hour and seeks out new, titillating experiences. One boy she has yet to be bored with is Duncan, though- something about that bad boy attitude draws her in. She wants to make a scene on television, and meet Duncan in the meantime. Who knows? She might just get lucky.

Total Drama Pahkitew Do Over

Mel arrived with other various veterans from the previous seasons of Total Drama. Mel immediately had conflict with Brick again and showed no signs of remorse when confronted by him before she could unleash anymore drama like she usually does. In So, Uh, This Is My Team?, Mel was placed on the Waneyihtam Maskwak. Mel gained an instant infatuation for Harrison as well. Charlotte, through Harrison, warned Mel that Harrison was taken. Mel immediately backed off, to everyone's surprised. Later, Mel started to notice how toxic Charlotte and Trent's relationship was, and developed a conflict with Trent in Winning Isn't Every Fling in being overprotective of Charlotte. Mel discovered her own romantic preferences after befriending Harrison, and her options widened. In Pitching Pahkapella, Mel kisses Charlotte, which causes Charlotte to finally call it off with Trent publicly. They keep their relationship a secret until Nathaniel discovers what's happening in Mo Monkey Mo Problems. Mel forces Nathaniel to keep quiet about it until Nathaniel accidentally reveals it to Trent, who slyly convinces Mel's team to vote her off in This Is The Pits, after Charlotte believed she had gotten on Trent's good side again. Trent succeeds in getting Mel eliminated.

In Celebrity Manhunt 2: The Call To Drama, it's revealed that Mel is the lead singer and guitarist of a band called "Illegal Curtains," with Geoff on the piano and B on the drums. Charlotte is now her manager instead of the Drama Brothers' manager. After one of Mel's parties, Charlotte tries to get Mel to make amends with Duncan, and they very reluctantly and insincerely apologize to each other. Mel rejects the opportunity to appear on Total Drama Ridonculous Race Do Over by eating her Don Invite onstage. Her band and the Drama Brothers go on a collaborative tour shortly after this special.
