Chris

Chris Mclean is a famous celebrity that everyone on the show (except for Lindsay) knows well. His activities include an incident where he once participated in a figure skating TV show (stated by Trent in the first episode). He's known to have a somewhat sarcastic, sadism, and laid back personality. Aside of being the show's host, Chris is also the show's writer, background designer, director, executive producer, and assassin (the latter being his task of killing anyone who tries to enter or escape the island). In episode 13, it is also revealed (by himself) that he is training to get his pilots' license, while he is flying a ricketty death plane held together by duct tape. He along with his "sidekick" Chef Hatchet and the camera crew, is not a contestant of the show. He makes it clear that he really enjoys torturing the campers, taking delight in pointing out how life-threatening the current challenge is and matching them up depending on their hatred for each other. Chris really does not care what the campers do or what happens on the show as long as it's legal and he get's paid. He has ego-maniacal tendancies, which are shown in The Sucky Outdoors, when he is introducing the show and says, "And could my teeth possibly get any whiter?" He also pauses the tape in X-treme Torture in paraody of The Emperor's New Groove and is embarassed about how he looks (even though he looks the same as always). Throughout the series he mentions of all the interns dying or being in the hospital. He loves to torture the campers, but hates being forced to take the hits himself, and example of this is shown in Hide and Be Sneaky when he is hit by Chef's Killer Water Gun and is blasted back a long distance, and clearly not happy about it. He has many catchphrases, but his most common one is "AAAAWWWWSOME!", especially when a challenge is particularly life-threatening. Despite the fact that he loves torturing the campers, he has shown that he isn't completely happy with certain results. When Heather managed to avoid being eliminated and Justin was kicked off instead, Chris stated that he felt the result was completely unfair, where as he usually makes some snotty remarks at the campers when the leave. Also, in Paintball Deer Hunter, He felt bad for Cody, after Heather manages to get him voted off. In Who Can You Trust?, he allowed Katie to board the Boat of Losers to be reunited with her best friend Sadie. in Phobia Factor, he reprimanded the other campers for taunting Tyler about his fear of chickens. He also has shown that despite his harsh challenges, he does care for the camper's lives (as he rushed to save Gwen from the psycho killer because he was worried about lawsuits). At the end of the season, Chris is subdued by Owen, Duncan and Geoff and tossed off the Dock of Shame (ruining his hair).

Chris will appear in season 2 called "Total Drama Action" with updated facial expressions and a beard.
