Meet Tom and Jen from The Ridonculous Race

Hey Fresh Fans!

Meet the Fashion Bloggers; Tom and Jen

Jen and Tom are best friends and world-renowned fashion bloggers who can’t wait to see the world together. They blog every day about what’s hot and what’s not and are sure that their fabulous taste and trending skills will guarantee their victory.

Tom is confident and tries hard, but doesn’t have many skills beyond understanding fashion. He tends to comically overreact to failure, scary challenges, winning, losing, lattes… everything.

Jen is sweet and the ultimate fashionista. She is constantly working on her tan and often falls victim to the allure of spontaneous shopping sprees. The two have plans to go far in the Race while teaching the other contestants a little something about competing with style!

Tom is voiced by Jeff Geddis, who also plays Devin in the Ridonculous Race. Jen is played by Ashley Botting, who has also leant her voice to BeyWheelz. You can find Ashley on Twitter @AshleyBotting.

Stay Fresh,

Christine

Can you tell us the last names of the competitors for the heck of it? I would like to know the full name of most of the cast. I recall only Harold, Blainley, Cameron, Lighting, Alejandro, Dakota, and Brick had their last names revealed and it would be nice if you did it for other members of the cast in Total Drama and the Ridonculous Race

I like fashion! Probably in Ridonculous Race season 2 they could have Dakota and Justin to compete as The Models.

How many couples will be in this spin-off? Only Carrie and Devin and Ryan and Stephanie? I hope not.

If I'm getting annoying with all the questions about last names, someone please tell me. I don't want to tick anyone off..
Jen and Tom really do look cool!

@freshtvinc @JoshPhillips Then what led to Lightning's name being told? I've been asking around and gotten no response... and I know it was never mentioned on the show.

@freshtvinc In the leaked episode 1 of RR Geoff said that Bridgette was surfing in Australia, so will the races go to Australia and if they are-  will we see a Bridgette cameo?

Isn't that a connection to the show Skatoony? Because Chudd ejected Bridgette to Australia

@freshtvinc Is it just me or is Tom based on Tom McGillis and Jen is based on Jennifer Pertsch?

I'm guessing their full names are Tom McGillis and Jen Pertsch?

Cool! So, there's a rumor going around that their designs were based off of show creators Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch. True or false?

There are some rumors going around that since Tom is based off of Tom McGiles (Who is an open gay man) that Tom might be gay himself.


I hope it's true, Total Drama for all it's faults is really good at diversifying their characters in a non-stereotypical way.

@IsiahGomez It's a matter of interpretation, but I don't think it's bad to think he's gay at all!

"and often falls victim to the allure of spontaneous shopping sprees."


Oh no! i hope they don't get eliminated in the Dubai episode since we know from the episode they go to Dubai that from the leaked description "One team goes shopping". :(

@freshtvinc @Equalrights4animals Before Julie Giles left Fresh TV, a publishing glitch was accidentally made on this website where the background of the Dubai episode was revealed and and the description for that episode. Anyways, I forgot what exactly the description said but it said something along the lines of "The racers  visit Dubai; one team goes shopping." So I'm just putting two and two together that since Jen likes to shop, this is the team that goes shopping and since I'm guessing shopping isn't a part of that challenge, they might get eliminated in that episode; that's where I'm getting at. The only thing is; we don't know when the Dubai episode is. But who knows, maybe they won't get eliminated we don't know. :P

I hope they last for a while though! Jen and Tom are my favorite teams and I'm going to cry if they're early-out's. :[
