Chris and Ezekiel

This article focuses on the interactions between Chris and Ezekiel.

Overview
Chris doesn't have high views on Ezekiel throughout the series, believing him to be a nuisance. While they have little interaction in Total Drama Island, the conflict between the two quickly escalates two seasons later. Early in Total Drama World Tour, Chris was annoyed by Ezekiel and threw him out of the plane before it took off. However, Ezekiel manage to get back to the plane and Chris has no choice but to put him back into the competition after Duncan left. He was quickly rejoiced however as Ezekiel was eliminated the next episode and was pushed off the plane. For most of the season, Chris didn't know that Ezekiel was still on the plane, trying to steal the million dollars.

This conflict continues well into Total Drama All-Stars, with Chris continuing to mistreat the still-feral Ezekiel for his own amusement, resulting in Ezekiel kidnapping him in the 100th episode and nearly kill him.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
When Ezekiel first arrives on the island, Chris gives him a friendly greeting of "What's up, man?" Ezekiel responds by pointing up toward the sky and replying, "I think I see a bird." Chris, seeing how clueless Ezekiel is to teen life, puts a hand on his shoulder and gives him some advice on how to last longer on the island, which was "don't say much and try not to get kicked off too early."

When Ezekiel is eliminated in this episode, Chris says that he isn't shocked because he saw Ezekiel picking his nose, and insulted the action by saying that it was "not cool."

The Big Sleep
In the recap of the previous episode, Chris comments that Ezekiel's elimination was unsurprising, stating that "homeschooling and reality TV really don't mix."

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Ezekiel glares at Chris when he tries to make him and other contestants play the game again.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1
At the beginning of the episode, Chris introduces each contestant by name, and is presumably just about to introduce Ezekiel before he interrupts Chris with bad slang and confidently states that he will win the season. Chris then introduces Izzy, Tyler, and Bridgette in rapid succession, and skips mentioning Ezekiel until he reminds him to do so, prompting a deadpan introduction. Chris is easily annoyed by Ezekiel throughout the episode due to these constant interruptions. When Chris tries to explain the elimination process this season which uses barf bags, Ezekiel interrupts him by talking about his peanut allergy. Chris tries to continue, but Ezekiel interrupts him again and continues talking about his allergy. Chris then decides to punish Ezekiel by "demonstrating" how the Drop of Shame works. He then proceeds to grab Ezekiel by the jacket and roughly throws him out of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet just at it is taking off. Ezekiel quickly got back up to his feet and started chasing after the Jet, yelling for Chris to let him back in. Chris smugly replied "All eliminations are final, bro!" and shut the door. Just as Chris prepares to start off the "Pyramid Over Under" challenge, Ezekiel runs up to the cast and tells Chris that he is not going to lose this time. While Chris is noticeably impressed with Ezekiel's determination, he still considers him eliminated. Ezekiel, however, is so determined to prove that he will not give up that he participates in the challenge anyway. At the end of the pyramid challenge, Ezekiel begs Chris to let him back in the game once more. Chris finally gives up and in an irritated way, pushes him over, but accepts his request (since Duncan quit and they were short of a person), by placing him on Team Victory.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
Chris reminds the contestants that Ezekiel's interruption of Lovin' Time caused the need for a reprise, which earned Ezekiel many glares as a result. When Ezekiel is forced to confess that he lost his team's reward item, the stick, Chris laughed and said, "Wow. Sucks to be you." At the elimination ceremony, he once again reminds Team Victory that it was Ezekiel's fault that they had to go through an elimination ceremony in the first place. Later, Chris states that he knew that he would be satisfied with Ezekiel being eliminated and him being kicked out of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet by Chef Hatchet. He did not seem to notice Ezekiel still hanging onto the jet, and was thus unaware of his status as a stowaway until much late.

Chris, once again, taunts Ezekiel after his elimination in the recap, this time saying that Ezekiel "found a way to lose, un-lose, and lose again."

Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water
Chris pulls out a wooden baseball bat after seeing Ezekiel's silhouette in the midst of the steam in his hot tub, only for the silhouette to suddenly disappear before he can make another move.

I See London...
Chef finally found Ezekiel hiding in the cargo hold and brought him to Chris. However, Chris apparently had something in mind for Ezekiel, and thus evicted Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot from the first-class area so that he and Chef could secretly strike a deal with Ezekiel; he would play as Jack the Ripper in the day's challenge, and would have to kidnap all of the remaining contestants one-by-one. If he did so successfully without being captured himself, he would get to return to the game. Thus, almost immediately, he began fulfilling his duty; he captured Alejandro before the challenge even started due to him eavesdropping on their conversation. Later, he managed to capture Sierra, Cody, Tyler, and Heather, before Owen manages to capture him. Thus, Chris revealed Ezekiel's identity to the entire cast, then declared that since he had failed to complete his task, he could not return. He had Chef throw him from the plane, but Ezekiel was seen to hang onto the jet once again, this time by grabbing onto the wheels as he fell.

African Lying Safari
Chef finds Ezekiel in the cargo hold again, only this time, after a tip from Blaineley during her elimination in the previous episode. Chris also says Ezekiel was like a one-man cockroach infestation, since he "just won't go away." Chris uses him in the challenge once more, this time taking advantage of his feral, animalistic state and using him as the prey for the final five to hunt. While Chris is explaining the challenge, Ezekiel attempts to grab the oblivious host through the bars of his cage, but is unsuccessful, as he is too far out of reach. When Ezekiel is finally tranquilized, Chris immediately tells the cast to get back on the plane so that they can leave before he wakes up, hoping that they can leave him behind and be rid of him once and for all, though he climbs back on.

Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles
Chris refers to Ezekiel briefly in the episode as he tells Cody that they don't need another "cling-on" on the season. This shows that he is aware of Ezekiel's returning to the plane at the end of African Lying Safari, and is displeased by it.

Hawaiian Punch
Ezekiel attacks Chris for the million dollar case, which results in him falling into the active volcano with the million dollar case. The only thing Chris could say in reply was "Whoa. Didn't see that one coming." He did not seem devastated by this incident at all, nor did he show any sign of sympathy for the seemingly-dead Ezekiel. After Chris and the rest of the cast retreated down the volcano path and into the water, Chris got on a boat with Chef and started to sign off the show. However, Ezekiel was suddenly shot out of the volcano at that moment and crashed right through the deck of Chris' boat, causing it to sink with him and Chef still on it.

In an interview with Erin, Chris states that he did not think that Ezekiel would win a season or a challenge at least.

A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Once the newcomers escaped the mine, Chris activated the bombs they left inside, trapping Ezekiel, who was left behind, inside.

The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean
In the recap, Chris mocks Ezekiel for being more successful with girls in his feral form than he was as a human being.

Heroes vs. Villains
After all the other contestants had been introduced, Chris announced Ezekiel as the fourteenth contestant of the season, only for him to say that he was kidding. Chris then explains to Ezekiel that there is no way he is coming back before ordering The Robot to shoot Ezekiel far away from the island.

Zeek And Ye Shall Find
The conflict culminates once again in this episode. While Chris is celebrating the 100th episode of the show, a still-feral Ezekiel sneaks up from behind and kidnaps him. It is revealed that Ezekiel took Chris into the mine from season four and hung him above the tub of acid as payback for his mistreatment towards him two seasons ago. A nervous Chris tries to reason with the still-feral ex-contestant, but to no avail, as Ezekiel uses rats to cut the rope that Chris hangs on to. Chris brings up his acts of cruelty towards Ezekiel in the past episodes, thus angering the ex-contestest even further to the point that he howls in anguish. Chris even screams for help, as Ezekiel manages to capture the majority of the contestants and place them in a cage. Gwen and Cameron come to Chris' aid, and after some difficulty, Gwen manages to subdue Ezekiel with Chef's meatball bazooka, winning the challenge and is allowed the stay in the McLean Spa Hotel. In the confessional, Chris says that he was faking being terrified of Ezekiel, but when a growl is heard from the outside (courtesy of Mal) Chris runs away, screaming in terror. Chris thanks Gwen for rescuing him from Ezekiel's wrath during the elimination ceremony.
