Duncan/Sadie, known mostly as Dundie, is a crack pairing within Total Drama fandom. The ship is between Duncan and Sadie. While Duncan competed in multiple seasons of the show, Sadie only competed in Total Drama: Island (2007) and is a more minor character in comparison.
Duncan and Sadie never had any substantial interactions during the series, leading the ship to be basically unheard of before it became an inside joke in the fandom's Tumblr community around 2013.
Duncan/Sadie's meant to riff on how some in the fandom will "ship anything" as long as its Het. As of 2024, the ship is relatively unknown, even on Tumblr, following a larger amount of Total Drama fans earnestly shipping characters regardless of gender category since 2013, meaning the ship riffs on only a small portion of the fandom as of the 2020s and there's little point in creating a fannish divide about it.
