Ultimately, a leader is not decided among the group and they go to bed that night still leaderless. When Kitty asks how she plans to lead the team, Lindsay doesn't give a more descriptive answer than simply leading the team, frustrating the team. That night, she tries to rally her team up and declare herself to lead the team in the next challenge, but she is undermined by Amy who then suggests that she should be the leader instead. When she gets votes, she expresses shock to which Kitty reassures her by suggesting that Max voted her off due to hating her. At tribal council, she blurts who she voted out, Max, which earns her the ire of Kitty. When Izzy suggests voting Lindsay off, she tries to defend herself by saying that the team didn't give her a chance to be a leader.
When Owen tries to eat the cake Kitty bribed him with using his bare hands, Lindsay reprimands him saying he should eat with a fork.
She and Owen are pulled aside by Kitty and is convinced by her to vote off Max due to his overplaying. After the challenge, she asks if she can speak to someone privately, when Alejandro asks her who, she replies that everyone was doing it so she wanted to do it too. Her team loses the challenge despite their early lead, and she is sent to tribal council that night. She later faces off against Sierra, but gets the question wrong. During the challenge, she faces off against Geoff and manages to buzz in the correct answer before him, she selects Kitty and Heather to face off in the next round. When she asks the rest of the team if they take her seriously, none of them can come up with a honest answer. Later that morning, she tries to declare herself as leader, but Amy remarks by saying that nobody takes her seriously. She also declares that the team should give Amy a second chance if she promises to try hard in the next challenge. She is then horrified by a bug in camp and is grossed out when Izzy eats it, and demands Amy to be nice to Owen when she yells at him for pushing her. The next morning, Lindsay is first seen expressing confidence in the confessional about having a position as leader on the team. Due to Kitty solving the puzzle faster than Cody from Aloha, Lindsay is not sent to elimination that night. Eventually however, Amy decides to help her and they manage to get the gate open. She argues with Amy about her lack of helping, which causes Laulima to lose their lead in the challenge. During the challenge, she is paired with Amy to lower the gate, when Owen finally tags them, Lindsay finds herself being the only one trying to lower the gate. At the camp, Lindsay helps Alejandro and Izzy with the shelter. She is then placed on the Laulima team and compliments Kitty's hair. When she steps off the boat, she complains about how the water got into her hair. Lindsay first appears in Aloha, Hawaii alongside 13 other returning players. She seems to love taking the leadership role and likes to be taken seriously by her team. She shows herself to be an underdog, and hates to be underestimated by her peers, and does her best to defeat them and prove herself. Although the other contestants are frequently annoyed by her severe lack of intelligence, Lindsay has been shown to only have pure intentions. Lindsay's big heart, positivity, and childlike nature made her one of the most well-liked competitors on the show. She did not compete in Total Drama Global Travels or Total Drama Blockbuster, and was an Aftermath commentator instead. Lindsay, labeled The Dumb Princess, was a contestant on Total Drama Hawaiian Islands as a member of the Laulima tribe.
