Chris and Topher

This article focuses on the interaction betweem Chris and Topher.

Overview
Similar to Total Drama super fan Sierra, Topher is a huge fan of Chris and greatly admires the host, constantly complimenting him for his hosting skills. Chris was excited to see someone who likes his work and even take Topher's advice on how to make the challenges more dangerous for the contestants, making everyone on the show to hate them. However, Topher's admiration for Chris is apparently as intense as Sierra's which annoys Chris after a while. Topher occasionally makes back handed comments to Chris which makes Chris insecure about himself. After multiple attempts to sign off the show, it became clear that his admiration toward Chris turned into an obsession to host the show, and that he does not care about Chris's well being.

Audition Tape
During his audition, Topher mentioned that he nicknamed himself "Chris 2.0" as people usually compare him to Chris when he was younger. To further compare himself and Chris, he even had a cat named after Chef Hatchet and yells loudly through a megaphone, similar to Chris' behavior throughout the series.

Opening sequence
In the intro, Chris was annoyed that Topher is standing too close to him and pushed him off the rock that they are standing on.

So, Uh This Is My Team?
While on the zeppelin ride to Pahkitew Island, Topher desperately tries to look for Chris which greatly annoys Sugar. Once he appears, shortly be the crash, Topher compliments Chris' idea of blowing up the zeppelin before offering him a parachute so they may safely go down to the island together. The Chris that he is talking to, however, is only a hologram, and Topher jumps off with Chef instead.

At one point during the first challenge, Topher left in order to remind Chris that is about time to announce the commercial break. When Chris ask him why did he ask, Topher exclaims that it's always been a dream of his to watch Chris cut to commercial break. Chris is flattered at first, but isn't against throwing Topher back into the gun fire of Chef's tennis ball shooter.

I Love You, Grease Pig!
While Chris is announcing the challenge, Topher kept complimenting Chris of his ideas for the challenge, including to the name. Chris was flattered by this and thank him. While using the zipline, Topher once again compliments Chris but mention that he seem to look tired for spending all night planning for the challenge. This startled Chris and ask Chef whether what he say is true or not. Topher then attempts to sign off the show for the commercial break before Chris stops him.

A Blast from the Past
Chris had done many things in order to remove any noticable wrinkles such as shavin his beard. Topher tries to guess what changes that Chris had made and realize that he had used "Slowtox" to make himself look younger. However, Topher realize that this might ruin his chance of becoming the show's host. During the challenge, Topher made a self-narration complimenting his good looks before Chris yells at him to stop.

Mo Monkey Mo Problems
Topher believes that he is far superior than Chris in every way and believes that it should be him who should be hosting the show, not Chris. In the beginning of the episode, while the contestants are waiting for Ella and Dave to arrive, Topher suggest that they should have a host off to which Chris immediately reject. When the challenge begins, Topher left his team, claiming that he is on a certain errand. He purposely bumps into Chris, claiming that he is chasing the monkey, and leaves after helping him up. Once he left, Chris give a note to himself; start hating Topher. In reality, Topher had steal Chris' cellphone and uses it to call the producers and tell them that they should choose a younger host instead of Chris.
