i feel like chris is a necessary accessory to the total drama franchise, while as a person i wouldn't condone his actions, but that's kind of the point. he's supposed to be the narcissistic host that pushes to the extreme. i'd say that sometimes it gets stale and the writers try too hard to make him harsh while i feel like he's better as he was in total drama action. where he's pretty aggressive but he's treated moreso as a joke to the point where it ties back to comedy.

one thing that i do appreciate about chris, is that they always give him something to do. like he's never really plotless. something that don doesn't have on chris at all is that... don didn't really have anything to do, and when don is harsh it feels more off-putting than when chris is harsh because you don't really know what to think of it. especially towards characters like the vegans and ice dancers.

overall, my thoughts on chris is that he's the only character that has stuck around and at the end of the day, he's there for a reason. they've been pretty consistent with him and i do think that he should be toned down a tad, but i definitely respect his purpose.
