Chef Hatchet and Izzy

This article focuses on the interactions between Chef Hatchet and Izzy.

Overview
Unlike the other contestants, Izzy is not afraid to face Chef Hatchet in hand-to-hand combat. Throughout the series, the two will occasionally have a duel between each other, in which Izzy usually come out as the victor.

Hide and Be Sneaky
Instead of finding a hiding spot, Izzy secretly follows Chef, mimicking all of his movements and diving into bushes, behind a rock and behind trees whenever he turns around. When Chef enters the kitchen looking for campers, he hears a sneeze coming from the ceiling, which turns out to be Izzy, who was hiding in the rafters. Izzy nervously laughs, then jumps from the ceiling onto Chef's back, sending him to the floor. When Chef gets up, he smiles menacingly and tosses his watergun aside. The two proceed with a rather epic fistfight. At one point, Izzy is thrust back, but she catches her balance and shows that she is ready for more action. The duo battle again, and Izzy dodges a grim-looking punch and kicks Chef to the floor. Then she runs out of the kitchen, screaming, "You'll never get me alive!" (similar to when the RCMP caught her in Up the Creek). Chef is in hot pursuit, as he kicks the door down and follows her, yelling a battle roar the entire way. He chases Izzy to the Dock of Shame where she tries to slide to the lifeguard chair, but she slides on a puddle and ends up in the lake. Later, it is shown she was captured by Chef.

Hook, Line, and Screamer
Owen and Izzy are running from what they assume to be the The Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook. When Owen says he is too young to die and shoves Izzy into the killer, Izzy gasps (one: in shock because Owen pushed her in front of the killer and two: in horror for the same reason) and Owen runs in fright. He goes to the tent and tries to explain the whole thing to Chris, but Chris laughs and reveals that it was just a challenge, and the killer comes in dragging Izzy by her shirt collar. The killer takes off his mask to reveal the one-and-only Chef. Izzy ends up laughing at Chef and Chris' prank, but later punches Owen for pushing her into the killer.

Alien Resurr-eggtion
After Mama Alien shot Harold and Owen, he turns his attention to Izzy and Heather. Izzy tries to fight back by pulling out a paintball gun of her own and further angers Chef by calling him "a bald, emotionally withdrawn cook in a Halloween costume." The two then shot several paintballs at each other. After another grueling battle, Izzy falls to the floor, however, this time, she does not get up. Concerned, Chef runs over to check on her, thinking she was dead, but Izzy suddenly springs up from her spot and the duo have a pleasant laugh about it.

Riot On Set
Chef prefers Duncan's acting over Izzy's (probably due to his alliance with DJ), which ends up getting her eliminated that episode.

The Aftermath: I
Izzy reveals to Geoff and Bridgette that Chef originally wanted to make an alliance with her, instead of DJ. He would help her as long as she split the money with him. Izzy refuses and kicks Chef in the chest, sending him out of view. Later in the episode, Chef appears on the screen, saying not to listen to anything Izzy says and also add that she is crazy.

Full Metal Drama
Earlier in the episode, Chef kicked Izzy to the front. As Owen tries to kiss Izzy before she takes the Walk of Shame, Chef quickly grabs her and tosses her into the Lame-o-sine.

The Aftermath: II
The feud continues in this episode as Izzy attempts to regain her position as a guest on the Aftermath show, only to have Bridgette call in security in the form of Chef Hatchet. Izzy manages to avoid capture by tricking Chef into falling into a piranha-filled tank originally set up for Gwen and then fleeing the show.

The Aftermath: IV
This episode may show an ending, or possibly just a small break of the feud, as Chef agrees to be the DJ for the dance-off when Izzy tells him to "Hit it!".

Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water
During the That's Gonna Leave a Mark segment, Geoff shows an unaired clip of Chef approaching Ruby with a ladle and pan. Izzy comes to her defense, saying she won't let Chef cook her friend. She goes "Egyptian Style" on him and even though he was using a pot to protect himself, Izzy punches him, incredibly and oddly enough, with three arms. Finally she kicks him, knocking him on the ground. Ruby then sits on him. Izzy then proceeds to tickle Chef's feet. Chef says he was just going to give her some oats.

Can't Help Falling in Louvre
At the episode's beginning, Izzy is sitting with Chef in the cockpit, annoying him along with everyone else on the plane by activating the plane's many controls. She sends the plane flipping and spiraling many times, while Chef yells at her to stop, before it finally crashes in Paris. Later, Chef acknowledges to Chris that there should be a lockable cockpit door instead of just a curtain, to keep Izzy out. Later, as Izzy goofs around with Grant Wood's "American Gothic," Alejandro tells her they're playing "sculpture piece bingo" and that Chef is winning. She then glares upon hearing Chef's name. Izzy immediately pulls her head out of the painting, says "Look out, Cheffy!" and takes off running.

Hawaiian Punch
As Chef and Chris' boat begins sinking due to Ezekiel crash-landing into it, Izzy is seen laughing at them along with the other contestants.

Finders Creepers
Izzy tied up Chef somewhere in the woods and shoots several toy arrows at his head, causing Chef to miss the campfire ceremony.
