Chef Hatchet's alliances

This article focuses on Chef Hatchet's Illegal Alliances, which were formed during Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour.

Overview
The first alliance is formed by Chef Hatchet in Riot On Set, and consisted of him and DJ. Chef had initially attempted to form this alliance with Izzy, but it is never shown in the episode, and is instead revealed in an aftermath. The purpose of the alliance is to assist DJ by helping him "man up", but Chef's main intention was to force DJ to split the million dollars with him in the event of DJ winning Total Drama Action. In Total Drama World Tour, Chef forms another illegal alliance with Blaineley after being talked into it by her. However, it is dissolved by the end of the episode when he admits to his cheating, and she is soon eliminated.

Riot On Set
During the first challenge of the episode, the two teams have to pull a heavy trailer up a hill. After Chef sees DJ refuse to carry his team's trailer up the hill, he states in the confessional that he sees a little bit of himself in DJ, and feels the need to toughen him up for his own good. This leads to the two creating an alliance (though DJ did not like the idea at first, but Chef wouldn't relent). The deal was that if DJ won the $1,000,000 prize, he would split the money 50-50 with Chef. After the Screaming Gaffers win the challenge, DJ is quick to chide Chef for crying, which Chef counters by reminding him who had been the judge in this case, indicating that Chef had made a biased judgment in order for the Gaffers to win.

Beach Blanket Bogus
Chef tells DJ that if anybody kicks sand in someone's face that DJ had better be the one doing the kicking, not the one being kicked at. During the challenge, when DJ's trunks are ripped off by a shark and he runs away nude, Chef scolds him and says that the body is a beautiful thing, and that he does not need to cover it up.

The Aftermath: I
During her interview, Izzy reveals that Chef Hatchet offered her the alliance before he offered it to DJ, which is followed by a clip of it, shown by Geoff. After Chef offers, Izzy replies by kicking him in the stomach, refusing. She appears to know that Chef threw the challenge for DJ, but she seemed to be fine by it.

The Chefshank Redemption
Chef lets DJ help him with the cooking and occasionally acts as his mentor. However, DJ finds out that Chef has a soft side as well and is not always the tough guy he appears to be.

One Flu Over the Cuckoos
DJ is forced to help Chef cook the pizza, to be served to the contestants. The Screaming Gaffers started getting suspicious of DJ when he was not there when they were hanging out and studying. Although he does come along and eat the pizza himself amazed at how good his own cooking really was. Later he was pressured, and shocked to find out that Chef was the one who added the itching powder to the pizzas that made the castmates sick during the challenge.

The Sand Witch Project
Chef spends the entire episode ensuring that DJ's team wins the challenges. He was trying to help DJ be the killer instead of Duncan even though DJ wasn't interested. However, he was ultimately caught in the act after he makes DJ faint, and gets disciplined by the producers. DJ starts feeling extremely guilty for his dishonest actions after his conscience (in the form of his mother) tells him to quit lying and cheating. The alliance comes to an end in this episode as DJ confesses to everyone about his and Chef's alliance and votes himself off.

Full Metal Drama
Chef is forced to feed Owen a remedy for his constipation as punishment for his bad behavior of making an alliance with DJ. However, Leshawna drinks it instead.

The Aftermath: II
A clip is shown during the show on how Chef helped DJ. DJ got massages, good food, vitamins, clean clothes, and even packages from home. In a confessional, it seemed like DJ liked having this alliance and appeared eager to win the competition despite the obvious deceit. However, it turns out that Chef threatened DJ into staging the aforementioned confessional. The alliance has done little to hurt the competitors' trust in him as most of them realize that DJ was a victim of Chef's scheming.

Chinese Fake-Out
In this episode, Chef is convinced by Blaineley that he would be a better off on a show of his own and that Chris was holding him back. This statement restarts his illegal alliance, despite the fact that Chef didn't agree to it at first, and was not the first one to suggest it. He helps Blaineley in the challenge by pulling the rickshaw that she is in, which gets her across the finish line first. However, at the end, Heather figures it out, busts them, and the alliance ends when Blaineley (along with Courtney) is voted off.

African Lying Safari
In this episode, Chris punishes Chef for having formed an illegal alliance for the second time in the series, this time with Blaineley. As punishment, Chef is forced to wear heavy clothing throughout their stay in the hot climate temperatures of Africa, known as the "penalty parka." This made him sweat profusely and regret making the alliance. Chris later forgives Chef and offers him to watch the episode from his hot tub.
