Swump

Swump, also known as Swemptonian Tribe (Brayden Lichty) in the Skype era; was one of the first six newcomers to compete on Bowser Party in season 2 and also returned for the third, & fourth seasons. They were selected for the first all-star season, and also returned for the sixth, seventh & ninth seasons on Skype. After a long hiatus, he also returned to Season 2-2 on Discord.

Prior to the Series
My memory of meeting Swump is pretty fuzzy, but I'd have to say like others that he likely debuted via an invite from a group server, and ultimately he ended up here.

Bowser Party
Season 2:

Swump's first time playing was in Season 2, where he was placed on the Bloodrop Warriors. Swump's team did fairly well this first season, allowing Swump to be able to make the merge on his first ever season. Of course, he ended up being in a double elimination however with Yoshi, but he ended up returning in the final 6, allowing him to proceed all the way to the finale, but come out with the least amount of votes, giving him third place.

Season 3:

Swump then returned for Season 3, being placed on Team Mysterious Mushrooms. Swump's team did fairly well for themselves during the early half of the pre-merge, however once Team Quick Fist was taken out, the team ended up losing several challenges. And it was the last challenge that resulted in Swump's elimination, taking his worst placement of the whole series in 11th place.

Season 4:

Despite that massive dip in his placements, Swump returned for Season 4 as a member of the Super Sexy Senpai's, a team that similarly struggled more later down the line but regardless of that, Swump was the only non-returnee on the team to make it to merge due to two being pulled. Swump managed to get through to the end this time, making it to the finale once again and getting 2nd, only losing to Adam.

Season 5:

Due to being a two-time finalist so far, Swump was ultimately accepted into the All-Star season alongside twelve others. They were placed on the Soul Sucking Seekers, managing to survive on the team before making their third merge, and ultimately making it all the way to the final 5, taking 5th place this time.

Season 6:

Shortly after, Swump returned for Season 6 as a member of the Ferocious Flamingos. However, Swump would end up barely being cut out of the pre-merge, tying with someone who later returned and getting 8th place as a whole.

Season 7:

Swump once again returned for Season 7, and ended up doing extremely well this season. He managed through several eliminations, making it to the finale where he defeated Alice and took his spot as the sixth winner of Bowser Party.

Season 9:

After a short break from the previous season, Swump made another comeback for the final Skype season as one of it's original members, once again doing extremely well here and getting up to the final 4, however he was unable to make another finale, getting 4th place.

Season 2-2:

After an extremely long absence due to the Discord move, Swump was invited to be part of Reunion, however Swump was offline during the time of the season and likely due to that, performed poorly and ended up getting another 8th place.

Current Status and Overall Thoughts
Swump has since not been invited to the series, but is always welcome to come back if he ever chooses to do so.

Swump was a very odd player back in his day, one that's hard to remember and I think that's clear of his own memory of him back in the day. But it's hard to say Swump wasn't an early important figure to this series, he was a fighter and through some harsh placements, ended up doing better than he did before, all culminating in his win later down the line. To that, I honor Swump for sticking it out, even through his blunder in his last run, he was still a great player.

Other ORGs
Swump, like many other Skype players played in my first ever long-term game, Total Drama All-Stars Take II. However, he ended up debuting early on in the game as Cameron, and likely due to that he was taken out fairly early, receiving 20th place if I remember correctly.
