Well tbh, I don't consider TDPI to be Chris' worst season, I'm torn between ROTI and TDAS for that one. But it was the season where I finally lost my respect for him, as he had done that once too often. I didn't care so much about Skave getting split up, but the fact that he goes out of his way to make sure it happens was really annoying. Yeah now that I think about it, he didn't have a particularly bad episode when Topher was around (except maybe for the babies in Three Zones). True, he was a bit boring in TDI, but he still had his share of enjoyable moments back then. When I showed my friend (who was new to TD) X-Treme Torture, he immediately found it funny how Chris asked Trent and DJ to sign the organ donation forms. But anyway, I'm not entirely sure Chris was better in those episodes, because of Topher's presence. All Topher did was annoy him, I guess some people could've found that funny on it's own, but other than that I'm not sure Topher was definitely needed.

Still, there were a lot of times he was shown with his team without Chris being around. He could've just looked to the side and started talking to someone. I don't see why that was so hard to do.

Okay maybe I didn't clarify what I meant by "explored". I mean given his extra time, he should've offered a bit more than the early outs. But he was still annoying Chris all the way to episode 8. While he did have that added Jasmine interaction in episode 7, but couldn't they have just cut down on the repeated "annoy Chris" plot and moved the phone thing earlier? Prior to This Is the Pits and the phone thing, no one seemed to hold an opinion on him, and as soon as he does interact with someone other than Chris, they immediately become annoyed at him and kick him off an episode later. The phone plot was fine, but it should've started earlier (just like Scarlett's antagonism).
