Interestingly enough in the original drafts for the first season of Total Drama, back then called Camp TV, Gwen was going to be paired up with Geoff. Also, her relationship with Trent was completely nonexistent. In fact in the drafts, it appears Gwen and Trent were supposed to be rivals or just plainly enough hate each other. Strangely enough, some evidence of the writers originally wanting Gwen and Geoff together exists in quite a few episodes, especially "Trial By Tri-Armed Triathalon". In the episode just mentioned, Gwen and Geoff seemed to have a unique kind of friendship going on between them. Despite having completely different outlooks on life, the two of them got along quite well, to the point Gwen showed real signs of sadness when Geoff was eliminated that episode due to his friendly nature being seen as a threat by everyone else. It was almost as if it were the beginnings of a relationship that could have been, which some people have interpreted it as to the point of shipping these two characters together.
So what do I think about this ship? Well, I see a lot like how I see the ship between Firestar and Cinderpelt in the Warriors book series. If circumstances were different, there is no doubt they would have ended up together. Both characters had a mutual bond towards each other, which was stronger than any normal friendship. They knew each other better than anyone else did, to the point it bordered into a relationship. Sadly, fate separated the two, so this pairing could never be. That is what I feel towards Firestar and Cinderpelt, as well as Gwen and Geoff. It was a relationship we all wanted, which never truly came into tuition. If there was a decision to pair Geoff with Gwen instead of Bridgette right now, I'd probably say yes. I just see the potential this relationship could create.
Rating: 10/10 (As much as I like this ship, I like Gwen with Cameron more. However, it is no crime to think what could have happened if Gwen made a few different choices.)
