Chris and Duncan

This article focuses on the interactions between Chris and Duncan.

Overview
Duncan has a strong hatred for Chris for putting him and the other contestants into life-threatening challenges as well as making them to follow the complicated rules that he sets. While Chris apparently likes Duncan for the drama he can cause, he dislikes Duncan's methods and will not hesitate to disqualify him from a challenge or mention calling his parole officer to send him back to juvie. The conflict between them reaches a new level in Total Drama World Tour after Duncan quits, frustrated with the need to sing in every episode. Chris does not forget this and brings Duncan back later on in the season as well as the next to pay back the "camera time" that he owes him. In Total Drama All-Stars, Chris placed Duncan in the Heroic Hamsters after he did a good deed, which made Duncan frustrated as he began to act much niver. Eventually this teasing provokes Duncan enough to blow up Chris's cottage and regain his bad boy image. However, this action also infuriats and devastates Chris, enough for him to send Duncan to prison in retaliation.

When Duncan and Harold are in the bottom two, Chris makes fun of Duncan, due to his humiliating loss of the day's challenge to Lindsay.

This is enough for Chris to quickly give up the final marshmallow and eliminate Harold.

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 show the carving to the others, humiliating Duncan. However, Leshawna intervened, abruptly ending Chris' teasing and sparing Duncan further embarrassment.

After the winner was declared, Duncan, along with Geoff and Owen, threw Chris into the lake as a revenge for all the dangerous challenges he made them perform in the season.

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."

One Million Bucks, B.C.
When Duncan sees Chris in his caveman costume, he laughs at Chris and sarcastically says that Chris' look hurts him a lot. Chris also caught Duncan using a lighter for the fire making challenge by looking at camera files, and gave the Killer Grips the victory since Duncan cheated.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
Like everyone else, Duncan is angry that Chris replaced them with Total Drama Dirtbags. However, this was all just a ruse to trick them into entering the third season. In the confession, Duncan accepts Chris' challenge and tells him to "Bring it on."

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1
Duncan is increasingly annoyed by Chris in the entire episode due to Chris forcing Duncan to sing. When Chris told Duncan he needs to sing a reprise, Duncan 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 (albeit due to being shocked and slightly threatened by Duncan in the process), but refers to him as "Duncan McQuittypants" later, possibly because it meant Ezekiel could come back to the game to fill in his place, which Chris was not happy about.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
While in the plane, Chris catches Duncan humming Come Fly With Us while he was having a drink in the first-class area. Duncan denies the accusation, but Chris implies that he will be watching him if he does it again. Later, after Ezekiel was eliminated, Chris gives Duncan his parachute and tells him "Last stop for non-contestants." Duncan reminds him that he was supposed to be given a ride home, but Chris says that they're going the other way, so he pushes Duncan off the plane with a grin, telling him to have a happy landing.

Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water
It is revealed in this episode that, after Duncan took the Drop of Shame and went missing, Chris sent a giant Drama Machine to look for him.

I See London...
Gwen and Courtney captured Duncan and brought him back to the plane, much to his anger. He attempted to leave again, but Chris refused to let him do so, telling him that the game would catch up to him eventually. He forced Duncan to stay and put him on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.

Greece's Pieces
It was revealed during the recap that Chris broke the confession lock in the previous episode in order to get Duncan and Gwen to kiss and stir up some drama. Chris makes Duncan sing during the whole episode to make up for all the songs he missed and every time he didn't sing while talking, he would be whipped by Chef. At the elimination ceremony, Chris automatically eliminated the intern instead of Duncan (who had received the majority of the votes), just to keep the current drama alive, since it was "just getting started."

Picnic at Hanging Dork
At the elimination ceremony, Chris indirectly mocks Duncan about his new relationship with Gwen.

Niagara Brawls
Chris relishes in the fact that with Duncan and Courtney winning the challenge together, they will be forced into first class together and couldn't vote each other off. This upsets both Duncan and Courtney.

African Lying Safari
Duncan mocked the sport of soccer, only for Chris to kick a soccer ball at him. When Duncan was hit with a tranquilizer ball, Chris demanded a song from him, as well as the other paralyzed contestants, no matter how groggy they were. When Duncan was voted out, Chris didn't give him time to say goodbye and tossed him off the plane. Chris then says that he was going to miss "that delinquent".

Hawaiian Punch
Duncan is seen laughing with the other contestants when Ezekiel crashed through the deck of Chris' boat, causing it to sink with him and Chef standing in it.

Grand Chef Auto
Still angry that Duncan quit last season and thus, owes him camera time, Chris captures Duncan in order for him to demo the challenge, which Duncan is not happy about. Once Chef unties him, Duncan uses the opportunity to run away. Chris later blames Duncan for tampering with the challenge, even though it was actually Chef's doing. Duncan later returns and blows up Mt. Chrismore, Chris' monument to himself in which he was upset about.

Saving Private Leechball
Observing that Duncan's behavior in the episode was heroic, Chris switches him from the Villainous Vultures to the Heroic Hamsters, ignoring his protests that he doesn't "want to be a lame-o hero."

No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition
Throughout the episode, Chris mocks Duncan for his recent change in personality, becoming a much nicer person. He also shows a video of Duncan consoling a mother bird when he tries to take its egg. Chris then teases him by saying he's being brought back for another All-Star season and the teams will be "Total Sweethearts" and "Total Bigger Sweethearts."

Suckers Punched
Duncan hopes that by participating in the boxing challenge will further prove that he is still a "bad boy." Little does he know that Chris rigged the challenge, making the contestants fight something that Chris knew they would have difficulty with. Before Chris revealed the opponent, Chris talks about how he could potentially hurt someone in an attempt to take him out of it. In his match, he had to fight the mother bird he met from the previous challenge. Duncan refused to fight for similar reasons that Chris gave him beforehand and forfeits the challenge, making Chris mock him even more.

You Regatta Be Kidding Me
Chris continues to mock Duncan's kindness for most of the episode, claiming he has lost his edge. In retaliation, Duncan left in the middle of the challenge to destroy Chris's cottage with a dynamite in order to prove that he is still a "bad boy." Furious, Chris reports this act of vandalism to the police and Duncan is arrested. With his "bad boy" reputation restored, Duncan believes that he will be "running" juvie only for Chris to tell him that he'll be confined to an actual prison because of it. Duncan tries to talk himself out of it but to no avail and Chris gladly watches as Duncan is taken away.
