Chris and Dakota

This article focuses on the interaction between Chris McLean and Dakota.

Overview
Brought onto the show due to questionable means, possibly tied to her connections with her rich father, Dakota became an immediate target of Chris from the moment she arrived on the island. Humiliating her in any way possible, including eliminating her paparazzi and taking away her cell phone, Dakota began to hate him for preventing her from having the fame and the spin-off show she believes she deserves being beautiful and semi-famous. Even after her elimination, Dakota and Chris continue to get at each other with the blonde returning to the island in hopes of staying in the spotlight but becoming stuck as an intern, forcing her even further under Chris' twisted thumb.

Opening Sequence
Dakota's attempt to model for cameramen on the dock is interrupted by Chris dumping water on top of her from the sky using a jetpack.

Ice Ice Baby
After hang-gliding her way back to the island after elimination while interrupting another elimination ceremony, Dakota pleads with Chris to find a way to stay on the show. When Mr.Milton calls Chris almost immediately after his daughter tried to make the offer, Chris finally agrees...but as an intern to Chris.

Backstabbers Ahoy!
Chris humiliates Dakota multiple times with various water duties: first waking her up by throwing her to piranhas in the lake, followed by forcing her to test out both water-born challenges alongside Bridgette leading to both getting hurt in the process, and ultimately being abandoned by him on a buoy after the end of the challenges and episodes, left to the mercies of Fang swimming beneath her.
