User blog:Tamoti/Topher theory

Topher is definitely the character I'm the most curious about. It turns out he is a huge fan of Chris, so at first I thought that (similar to Alejandro) he would fake being a huge fan just so that Chris would be less hard on him. A tactical move. But I learned that apparantly Topher hides that he is a fan, so chef and Chris don't know about it. Which rules out the possibility of it being tactical.

This made me wonder and I think there are 3 main possibilities.

1. Topher is just a fan and nothing more;

2. Topher is LGBT and has a crush on Chris;

3. Topher is the son of Chris.

Possibility 1 doesn't seem very likely to me. Cause I can't imagine how that would add anything to the show, especially since Chris doesn't know about it. Perhaps it's played for a few cheap laugh's? If this would be the case it seems like there's not much to his character. And he might be one of the first to leave the Island.

Possibility 2 he's gay. This scenario makes more sense to me. It explains why he would hide his adoration and it could make for some dramatic and funny moments. Besides it's about time that there's an (openly) LGBT character on the show. On the other hand it would be kinda creepy to have a minor have a crush on an adult. It can be done but it's very thin ice to walk on. If possibility 2 is the case I think he will make it pretty far, at least mid-season. But not to the finals.

Possibility 3 is the most likely IMO. Topher is not a real name, so most likely an abbreviation of Christopher. Named after his father Chris. He also possesses some similar characteristics like vanity. Appearance wise they don't look much alike besides the chin dimple and colours in clothing. If this is the case I can see it go two ways: 1 either Topher is his real son and will reveal this somewhere during the season. Probably being eliminated shortly afterwards the reveal or perhaps disquilified for being family of the host, unless it's only revealed in the last episode. 2 Topher fakes the whole "I'm your son" as a tactical move so Chris would want to keep him in the competition longer. In either case Topher will make it pretty far in the competition perhaps even finals. This could also bring a little more debt to the character of Chris. Will he become a fatherfigure or reject his son? Some people that also believe this theory think Blainely would be the mother, but I don't think that's very likely. I think the mother will be someone unknown, and probably stay that way.

These are my thoughts so far, but I wonder if perhaps I'm overlooking possibilities or information?
