Everyone and Chris

The Everyone-Chris Conflict is the conflict between Chris McLean and all of the other contestants. Having openly taken pleasure in seeing the contestants suffer through the intense and life risking challenges and showing himself to be incredibly self-absorbed, Chris has easily made enemies with almost every competitor on the show.

Alejandro
When Alejandro makes his Total Drama debut in the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Chris gave him a friendly greeting. However, Alejandro blew him off and simply walked right by him, to which Chris seemed annoyed. While Alejandro's bus was being attacked by the Total Drama Cast's bus, Chris seemed to support the Total Drama Cast over Alejandro. Later, when Chris announced that Total Drama Dirtbags, supposedly Alejandro's new show, was fake, Alejandro seemed angered by this. However, Chris made it up to him by allowing him to compete with the rest of the cast in Total Drama World Tour.

Alejandro later seems annoyed with Chris when he can't be in a team with Lindsay and Bridgette, and is instead given by Chris: Tyler, Owen, Noah and Sierra. Alejandro is yet annoyed later by Chris keeping Sierra's team name suggestion, and adding extra "reallys"s then Sierra said.

Beth
Several times in Total Drama Action, Chris physically pushes Beth out of the way so that the camera will be focused on him. In Riot On Set, Beth called him "Chris the Creep" in the confessional.

In Super Hero-ld, Chris was not impressed with Beth's "Lumber Woman" costume and insulted her super hero power by saying that she talks to the plants about the newest brand of fertilizer and gave her a 2/10.

In The Princess Pride Chris makes Beth be "the ugly stepsister", meaning Chris may find Beth ugly. When Beth failed the first challenge, Chris says that she is not fairytale heroine material. At the elimination ceremony, Chris renames the Princess Courtney dolls to Princess Beth dolls. Chris says to Beth that she gets zero percent of the profits. Chris probably renamed the dolls because all of the Princess Courtney doll profits had to go to Courtney's lawyers. If the profits for the dolls did not go to her lawyers, Chris might have not renamed the Princess Courtney dolls.

Beth doesn't seem to dislike Chris though, she even tries to help him and Chef make up when they have a fight in Mutiny on the Soundstage. This small possible sign of friendship changes in The Aftermath: IV, Chris tells Beth that she was not the most athletic member of Total Drama Action and says that she was a total klutz. Chris then shows a video of Beth being clumsy on numerous occasions, during her time on the set. Chris causes some anger among the contestants when he shows a secret video of Beth being mean. In the alternate episode where Beth wins, Chris gives Beth the suitcase with the million dollars in it by throwing it at her, knocking her down when Owen is holding her up.

Bridgette
In Total Drama Island, when Bridgette was voted off, Chris admits that even he was shocked that she was eliminated. Chris also stated that he does have a soft spot for Bridgette.



In Total Drama Action, Chris constantly disagrees with Geoff and Bridgette being the aftermath hosts and eventually took over their host position in The Aftermath: IV. In a flashback in Mutiny on the Soundstage, Chris is about to used his tanning booth. But when he opens it, he is horrified to see Bridgette and Geoff making out and complains to them about tainting it.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, as Chris was showing Duncan and Gwen the contract that they need to sing on the show, Bridgette grabs it and sings the rest of what they have to do during the "Come Fly With Us" musical number, prompting Chris to glare at her.

Chef Hatchet
Chris and Chef seem to have a relationship that is constantly switching from being a friendship to a conflict. See this page for more details.

Cody
In Phobia Factor Chris doesn't watch Cody defuse a bomb, showing he doesn't care about his safety. Also, in Paintball Deer Hunter, he was giving shame to the contestants, and seemed to emphasize Cody being mauled by a bear. However, he did show some sympathy as he remarked how "messed up" Cody was after the attack and when Cody was eliminated, Chris did offer to help him to the Dock of Shame (a task Beth volunteered for). Also, Cody doesn't seem to openly hate Chris.

Courtney
When Courtney was eliminated in Basic Straining, she demands a recount of the vote. Chris ignores her and he and Chef grab her and take her down the Dock of Shame and throw her into the Boat of Losers. In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Courtney finds out that the forest is just a fake background, so she starts yelling at a nearby camera. Chris is watching her yell and gets fed up with it. He then mutes her yelling. Chris takes action to stop Courtney from climbing the wall and dispatches Chef to stop her.

In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Chris announces that Courtney is returning to the competition due to a lawsuit and said it in a strained tone, possibly meaning that he did not want to welcome her. At the elimination ceremony, Chris tells the Killer Grips that they are not allowed to vote off Courtney because of her lawsuit and said that his massage budget was cut in half. Chris allows Owen to have an elimination speech, much to Courtney's anger.

In One Million Bucks, B.C., Chris announces to the contestants the terms for Courtney's return, putting heavy emphasis on all the unfair privileges she would receive, courtesy of her lawyers. It is clear he did this to turn the contestants against her as retaliation for the lawsuit. Chris commented on Courtney's enthusiasm when she hits Duncan's head hard, probably because he enjoyed seeing it. He also remarked in the confessional that he too wanted to see Heather cut off Courtney's hair, had the lawsuit not covered that as well.

In Super Hero-Id, Chris was constantly irritated by Courtney's "Human Cricket" costume since it made a terrible noise. When Courtney told Chris that Lindsay is not such a "Wonder Woman", Chris told her she has issues.

In The Princess Pride, Chris tried to stop Courtney from putting on the glass boot because he was afraid of another lawsuit. At the elimination ceremony, Chris gives Courtney the first Gilded Chris Award. Chris proceeds to tell Courtney that 80% of the profits from the Princess Courtney merchandise was supposed to go to the producers of the show, but thanks to Courtney's lawsuit they go to her lawyers. Chris prevents this from happening by changing the Princess Courtney brand to Princess Beth in order to stop the profits from going to her lawyers so the profits would go to the producers instead. When Chris announced that Justin was safe instead of Duncan, Courtney was furious and complained to Chris that it was an outrage. Chris then reveals that he lied and said that Duncan was safe after all.

In Get a Clue, Courtney starts to annoy and irritate Chris. Courtney demands a prize from Chris when she unlocked the safe. Chris ignores her and explains the challenge. After he is done explaining, Courtney angrily tells him that she will get a prize. After the cast hand in their DNA samples, Courtney demands a prize from Chris again, Chris ignores her, but Courtney kept complaining about wanting a prize. Chris became so annoyed, he gives her a bag of cheese puffs just to shut her up. After the murder mystery on the train was solved, Chris announces Lindsay the winner of the challenge. Courtney complains to Chris that she did more to win the two portions of the challenge, but Chris ignores her.

In Top Dog, Chris eagerly sent Courtney to the Lame-o-sine when she was finally eliminated from the competition. He also stuck her with Owen (who was fired for exposing his status as a mole), making her departure all the more difficult.

In The Aftermath IV, Courtney is about to ask a question to Duncan and Beth. Chris interrupts and says that the time for questions are up. Courtney complains about this and Chris mutes her when she starts yelling. Chris reads out the first vote that has ink all over it, making him confused, until Courtney looks at him with an angry look, making Chris count it as a vote for Duncan

DJ
DJ and Chris do not seem to have any conflict, although in Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island, after announcing that they all a had chance to win one million dollars, DJ glared at Chris along with the rest of the campers, originally not wanting to put up with another one of his insane challenges. In Monster Cash, Chris pats DJ's head while he is in fear from seeing the monster.

Duncan
In Dodgebrawl, Chris tells Duncan that he looks like crap, followed by Duncan threatening him.

In X-Treme Torture, when Duncan and Harold were in the bottom two, Chris mocked Duncan due to his humiliating loss of the day's challenge, to Lindsay. When he continued to taunt Duncan, he approached him and grabbed him by the shirt collar, threatening him. Chris quickly gave up the final marshmallow, and Harold was eliminated. This has caused some speculation that Duncan was supposedly the one who would've been eliminated, but Chris, fearing for his own safety, chose to bend the rules just once and tell them that Harold had been voted off.



In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, Chris finds Duncan carving "D+C" into the back of a wooden carving of Courtney's head. He started to make fun of Duncan and openly show the carving to the others, humiliating Duncan. However, intervention by LeShawna abruptly ended Chris's teasing and spared Duncan further embarrassment.

In 3:10 to Crazytown, Chris announced that the team that Duncan was on, the Screaming Gaffers, had to wear cow udders on their head for the final challenge of the day. He started to make fun of them in the ridiculous get-up, and Duncan threatened Chris with an udder sandwich, to which Chris replied, "I'm good."

In One Million Bucks, B.C, Chris catches Duncan using a lighter for the fire making challenge by looking at camera images. So Chris gives the Killer Grips the victory since Duncan cheated.

In Million Dollar Babies, Chris criticizes Duncan on his humiliating loss to a girl in wrestling at the elimination ceremony. Duncan tells him that she's not a girl, she is Courtney and said that it's a whole other thing. Chris gives Duncan a Gilded Chris award, calling him "Diaper-Shark" in the process.

In Super Hero-Id, Chris said that Duncan's psychic powers were lame and gave him a 2/10.

In the Aftermath: IV, Chris makes Duncan feel embarrassed by showing a video of him being nice to the guys while they were sleeping. Duncan complains to him for showing that.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Duncan is increasingly annoyed by Chris the entire episode, until he finally snaps and lets out an angry rant about how frustrating the entire day had been, followed by him quitting the game. Chris doesn't seem to mind Duncan's resignation but refers to him as, "Duncan McQuittypants" later, possibly because it meant Ezekiel was back in the game (See Chris-Ezekiel conflict).

Eva
In The Big Sleep, Eva snapped at Chris for making the campers run in the early morning, only to have Duncan and Geoff restrain her, and by the end of this episode, Eva furiously kicked Chris in the shin when she was voted off. It is implied that Chris is one of the many characters to fear Eva. In No Pain, No Game, after Eva loses to LeShawna, Chris is seen pushing her off-screen. See this page for more details.

Ezekiel
When Ezekiel first arrived on the island, Chris gave him a friendly greeting of "What's up, man?" Ezekiel responded by pointing up and saying, "I think I see a bird." Chris, seeing how clueless Ezekiel was to teen life, gave him some advice on how to last longer on the island. However, this "advice" may have simply been disguising his insults, as he called Ezekiel's parents "freaky prairie people." Also, when Ezekiel was eliminated shortly after, Chris insulted him by saying that he wasn't shocked that he was eliminated, since he saw him picking his nose.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Chris is easily annoyed by Ezekiel throughout the episode due to him constantly interrupting him. While Chris tries to explain the elimination ceremony, Ezekiel interupts him. Chris tries to continue, but Ezekiel carries on. Chris then throws him out of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet due to his annoyance and counts him as eliminated. At the end of the pyramid challenge, Ezekiel begged Chris to let him back in the game. Chris pushes him over but accepts his request (since Duncan quit and they were short a person), putting him on Team Victory.

Geoff
Geoff, generally being an outgoing and friendly guy, is seen to have little conflicts with Chris. He even saved Chris, along with Duncan, from Eva's wrath in The Big Sleep.

In No Pain, No Game, Geoff offered to take the leech barrel torture challenge to spare Bridgette, and was seen to do it considerably well. He even almost lasted the full ten seconds, but jumped out quickly. Chris proceeded to show him a suddenly and inexplicably extended version of the original time clock, which read "9.999999999" seconds. Although this was outrageously exaggerated, Chris decided to fail Geoff anyway.

In Total Drama Action, Chris constantly disagrees with Geoff and Bridgette being the aftermath hosts and eventually took over their host position in The Aftermath: IV. In a flashback in Mutiny on the Soundstage, Chris is about to use his tanning booth. But when he opens it, he is horrified to see Geoff and Bridgette making out and complains to them about tainting it.

Gwen
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Gwen rips up Chris' contract, only to have him show a copy, which annoys her greatly. Throughout the series, Gwen finds Chris irritating. In Search and Do Not Destroy, Chris intentionally ruins her moment with Trent. In 3:10 to Crazytown, after Trent's elimination, the camera shows Chris and Gwen in the control room watching Trent getting eliminated and shouting for Gwen, and then she asks if Chris just asked her in there to make her guilty and then states that it worked. Then, Chris pulls Gwen under his arm to end the show, but Gwen tries to pull away. In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Gwen refuses to sing, until Chris tells her that she has to as part of the season three rules.

Harold
Harold and Chris have a small conflict. In Not So Happy Campers - Part, Chris thought Harold was weird. In X-Treme Torture Harold is made fun of by Chris due too his loss in the water ski part. In Beach Blanket Bogus Chris laughs at Harold when the sharks came.

Chris tells Duncan nice job on landing on Harold on 3:10 to Crazytown. In Masters of Disasters, Chris was happy when Harold saved the cast from drowning in the submarines

In Million Dollar Babies, Chris puts Harold in the first challenge against Lindsay, which he calls loser vs loser. At the elimination ceremony, Chris believes that Harold may be the only one safe from elimination. As Harold begins to speak, Chris interupts him and says no one wants to hear it what he has to say and gives him his Gilded Chris.

In Super Hero-Id, Chris pushes Harold down in the beginning of the episode when he was announcing the episode's movie genre. Chris gave Harold a 7/10 in the first challenge and liked his costume because he was "keeping it Canadian". At the end of the episode, Chris pushes Harold down when announcing the end of the episode, breaking Harold's glasses in the process. Harold complains that his glasses are broken after Chris finishes ending the episode.

In Rock n' Rule, Harold runs through the cardboard stand-outs and Chris hugs him, making him annoyed. Chris shows Harold's picture from the paparazzi and says to Harold that he doesn't know what it is, but possibly a 'cry for help'.

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Harold tells Chris that he is mixing up cultures for the challenge. Duncan uses the joystick to make him kick himself when he is in the suit. Chris thanks him for doing that. At the end of the episode, Harold releases LeShawna, Jr. and starts to cry. Chris says that it was sad and what he meant by sad, he meant pathetic.

In 2008: A Space Owen, Chris says to Harold that he spent five seconds in the Vomit Comet. He commented that his results was sad, meaning that it was pathetic.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1 Chris told Harold to stay out of his room on the plane. Chris is constantly annoyed when Harold tells numbers in Egyptian in the "Pyramid Over and Under" challenge.

Heather
Chris constantly disagrees with Heather's tactics to get further in the game in Total Drama Island, even though he also shows an antagonistic attitude. As a result of this, Heather constantly needed to ask for Chris to give her the final marshmallow.

In The Big Sleep Heather mumbles under her bed saying "I hate him so much!".

In I Triple Dog Dare You!, Chris tried to persuade Owen to make Heather eat dog food by making him use a freebie so that Heather could do the dare. He also appeared happy to finally have Heather eliminated.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Heather is shown to push Chris off the podium.

In Million Dollar Babies, Chris criticizes Heather on her humiliating loss to Beth at the elimination ceremony. Heather ignores him and rolls her eyes. Chris becomes impatient while waiting for her to answer. Heather sarcastically apologizes to him, saying she was trying to remember what feeling awful was like.

According to the Total Drama Island Wiki's interview with Christian Potenza, Heather is the contestant that Chris dislikes the most.

Izzy
Chris appears to dislike Izzy for finding many ways to return to the competition. When Izzy is voted off in Riot On Set, Chris tells her it's time to go, but Izzy refuses to leave until her name is changed to E-Scope. Chris gets aggravated and annoyed by this and changes her to E-Scope to make her leave. Chris then presses a button that makes interns come and he tells them to take her away. In Full Metal Drama, Chris calls Izzy "Little Miss Weird and Weirder" and "Little Miss Crazy". In The Aftermath: IV, Chris reads out the second last vote, which is for Explosivo. He sounded annoyed as he read it out.

Justin
Chris actually appears to like Justin, as seen in various episodes.

In Beach Blanket Bogus, while Justin was posing on top of the surfboard, Chris said it almost made him believe in the human nature (key word being almost).

In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Justin tries to manipulate Chris into giving his team the lock combination by giving him a "shoulder rub", however Chris found it awkward and told Justin to stop (since both of them are male).

In Million Dollar Babies, Justin insulted the sport badminton since there was no movie about it and said it would be lame. Chris replies back by saying that there was a movie and it was un-lame.

In The Princess Pride, Justin told Chris that Duncan was cheating during the first challenge, but Chris does not believe him. As Justin is about to kiss Courtney on the tower, Chris interrupts his moment and tells him that he has to fight Courtney for invincibility. This causes Justin to lose the challenge as he refuses to fight Courtney under Chris' challenge rule. At the elimination ceremony, Chris announced Justin safe at first, but then he said that he lied and then announces that Duncan is safe.



Katie and Sadie
When Katie and Sadie complained about being on different teams and started begging non stop, Chris lets Katie switch with Izzy just to keep them quiet. Chris may find Katie and Sadie to be annoying.

LeShawna
In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, after Chris makes fun at Duncan when he saw him carving "D+C" on the back of the wooden carving of Courtney's head, LeShawna throws another carving at Chris by abruptly ending his teasing.

Chris tricked the campers into voting off LeShawna in Haute Camp-ture and even accepts a parrot's vote to get her off the show.

In Million Dollar Babies, at the elimination ceremony where the Screaming Gaffers lost, Chris makes fun at LeShawna by saying on how she dissed all of her fellow castmates all over the world wide web. LeShawna tells him that she has enough problems without Chris messing things up.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, LeShawna is annoyed that Chris gave her team's reward a stick and gave the other two teams better rewards.

Lindsay
When Lindsay gets to the island in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Chris refers to her as "not too shabby." Lindsay doesn't initially remember who Chris is. Throughout the season, she frequently calls Chris "Chip."

In Million Dollar Babies, Lindsay is confused why she lost the challenge to Harold. Chris tells her that she did not do any slow motion when she was fighting Harold and calls it bad sportsmanship. Chris also calls her Miss Tyson. Lindsay starts to get angry and she tells the referee (Chris) that he is going down. She is about to attack him, but Courtney and Justin restrain her from doing so.

Noah
There wasn't much interaction between Noah and Chris in the series, until the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, when Noah ended up working as Chris's assistant. Chris seemed satisfied with Noah's service, up until he brought him a cold latte. Chris immediately spat the latte into Noah's face and fired him. Later, when Chris was giving his acceptance speech for the Gemmie Award of "Best Reality Show Host," and completely left out the cast as the people he had to thank, Noah proceeds to kick the television away and calls Chris a schmuck.

Owen
Owen and Chris seem to be on good terms. Chris is known to call Owen "my man," a term of endearment. In Camp Castaways, Chris eliminated Mr. Coconut for Owen's mental health, and in I Triple Dog Dare You!, Chris seemed to be concerned about Owen's health, as Owen was doing every dare he got.

When Owen broke his jaw in Masters of Disasters, Chris seemed to be the least concerned about Owen's injury, but Chris offers Owen chips and soda pop, in exchange for Owen promising not to sue the show.

When Owen is eliminated in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Chris lets Owen give a farewell speech and calls for a spotlight for him ("A little light for my friend here."). He even let him wear a fancy tuxedo as part of the ceremony, giving Owen a lavish and well-wishing exit from the show.

Chris offered Owen 50,000 dollars to come back to the competition so he could cause drama and mayhem between the remaining castmates in Rock n' Rule.

Chris had Owen excused from the challenge in Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, so Owen could interfere with the other castmates. Chris becomes annoyed with Owen, when he gives both teams advice in the challenge when he was only supposed to give one team advice. Later on in the episode, Chris threatens Owen to sabotage Duncan and Harold's friendship by not giving the $50 000 dollars that the producers promised him. Chris also threatens him by saying that he will send him home immediately and that he can never come back.

In Top Dog, Chris gives Owen a GPRS for the final challenge due to Owen sabotaging the others while they were training their animals. After Courtney is eliminated, Chris fired him violently by angrily pushing him into the Lame-o-sine. He did this with no care.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Chris hits Owen with a frying pan at the beginning of the episode due to Chris being annoyed by Owen's aero phobia. While the contestants are singing Come Fly With Us, Chris hits Owen with a frying pan again.

Sierra
Unlike most of the contestants, there has been no conflict shown in between Sierra and Chris, possibly due to Sierra not having any sort of interaction with Chris since she was not a contestant on either Total Drama Island or Total Drama Action. As seen in the special, Sierra is actually a fan of Chris - knowing how many dogs he has, where he buys his pants and more things. However, since Sierra is competing in Total Drama World Tour, there is a possibility that she and Chris will have a conflict.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1 Sierra is shown constantly complimenting Chris and seems to be a big fan of his, although Chris seems to find her annoying. Sierra also seems to find Chris attractive, as she says that she, "hearts his limits" and later suggests that her team be named, "Team Chris Is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot" which Chris happily approves of despite her teammates complaints.

Trent
Trent said Chris rocked on a figure skating show in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1. In Search and Do Not Destroy, Chris intentionally ruins Trent's moment with Gwen when he is about to kiss her before he leaves the island. Trent is the only camper that confronts Chris about how unfair he's being about the elimination votes in Haute Camp-ture. He is seen glaring at Chris afterwards. In Alien Resurr-eggtion, Chris announced that Trent and Gwen would be picking the teams. This shocked Trent and complained about it. In 3:10 to Crazytown, Trent is voted off and does not leave until he says goodbye to Gwen. Chris ignores him and gets Chef to take him to the Lame-o-sine.

Tyler
There is little to no interaction between Tyler and Chris, but in Phobia Factor, however, Chris made fun of him, along with Duncan, Geoff, and Bridgette when he failed to conquer his fear of chickens, and was eliminated as a result. Chris may have possibly put Tyler's fear (chickens) on to the Boat of Losers to make his elimination from the show feel worse.

Trivia

 * This conflict was caused by Chris's sadistic and narcissistic attitude.
