Ross

Ross Blackwell, the 'Jamacian' is a contestant on Total Drama Alpharama as a member of Team Alpha.

Profile
Ross (or "Rasta" as his friends know him), like D.J., has Jamaican blood flowing through his veins! A personal friend of D.J.'s back home, he was rooting for the big guy to pull through in each of the three seasons he was in!

Ross takes pride in his Jamaican heritage by wearing his favorite black, gold, and green T-shirt, as well as his carefully-combed dreads! His favorite sport is volleyball (as you can tell by this picture).

Though he likes D.J., Ross will tell you that he does NOT intend to be as cowardly as D.J. was. He does have a bit more of a competitive edge than D.J. does, but he wants to be more of a team motivator in challenges, so that hopefully, by the end of the day, win or lose, he and his teammates will end up feelin' irie!

Coverage
In Bring Your A Game Ross is the eighteenth to be introduced; he talks with some Jamacian slang which Chris doesn't understand. In the confessional Ross says he doesn't really like Chris and that's he actually knows DJ personally from back home; he says with confidence that DJ would have won season 3 had he not been cursed; Ross assures the viewers however that he isn't cowardly. Later on during the challenge Ross came across Justus; Justus talks about how Unique led him to an apple, Ross suggests that Unique put a good luck spell on Justus. When Justus asks if Ross would like to be in an alliance with him Ross agrees and the two shake hands. In the confessional Ross says it feels good to help a brother out; he also admits it'd have been nice to be in the same season with DJ and work with him. When the alligators are released Ross easily drives one off with some Jamician wrestling moves. In the confessional he admtis Jamicia doesn't have alligaors, just crocodiles. He says that alligators are less aggressive and he's glad Chris didn't know that. Ross did very well in the challenge and was the sixth to finish the challenge. Due to this he became a member of Team Alpha.

In Plan B Ross plays table tennis with Francesca; he is defeated and accuses Francesca of cheating. She forces him to admit he lost to a girl. In the confessional Ross says it reminds him of losing to his brotehrs but he accepts his loss with grace since there will always be a next time. For the challenge Ross watches Team Beta and Team Omega compete; he admits that the chairs are comfy.

In C You Later Ross talks with Justus and says he knows he likes Desirae and Unique because they are both black. He admits in the cofnessional that Justus can like who he likes but Ross himself is not picky. During the challenge Ross works with Ashlynn in the 'Cannon Ball Connect 5'. The two of them have little diffuiculty with this; Ross says he is used to carrying heavy stuff due to carrying his Voleyball team's equipment. Team Alpha comes second so Ross is safe.

In D Day Ross is satisfied with the Duo Cabins; in the confessional however he admits there will come a time in the game when second place will no longer be good enough. When the next challenge is announced Ross is confident Team Alpha can prevail. When the challenge is revealed to be a dating challenge Ross is paired up with Francesca. In the confessional he lists all the (MANY) things she has beaten him at. For the challenge Ross has to pick a dress for Francesca; he notices that his 'date' isn't very happy about this. When he and Francesca lose their part of the challenge Ross says that it was nice knowing the Luxury Cabin. After the challenge the teams are shuffled around; due to losing their part of the challenge Ross and Francesca end up on Team Omega. Ross tries to convince Kieran to vote with him and the non former Team Beta members. It works and Elvio is voted off. Ross recieves no votes.

In E Ticket Ross doesn't like the loser cabin but admits that the look on Francesca's face was worth it, though he adds he doesn't wish anything bad on her. Ross completes his portion of the challenge with great ease and in the confessional he says he expects the other teams to try and make a comeback. Team Omega wins so Ross is safe.

In F Troop Ross congratulates Payson on his performance in the previous challenge. In the confessional he says it's been a while since he spoke with Justus. He admits he is quite hard to manage and he doesn't get his grudge against white people. During the challenge Ross says that he has had enough of losing to Francesca and that Ward is even harder to beat. Later on he and Francesca argue over why the fire won't light; when the others say they are like a 'married couple' Ross, in the confessional, insists he doesn't like Francesca like that. During the fish eating Ross is the last of his team to finish; because of this Team Omega wins.
