Chef Hatchet and Duncan

The Chef Hatchet-Duncan Conflict focuses on the conflict between Duncan and Chef Hatchet.

Basic Straining
In this episode, Duncan is consistently irritating Chef, which marks this episode as the beginning of their conflict. This began when Chef was leading the group in the dancing part of the challenge. Duncan stopped the music abruptly, much to the other camper's relief, and protested that Chef had said that the boot camp would be over for the day when someone dropped out. Chef then told Duncan to do twenty push-ups, which Duncan complied to, rolling his eyes.

Later, Chef demanded that the remaining campers write a three hundred word essay on how much they 'love' him. Chef was angered when Duncan's ended up being "just one sentence with five pages of 'verys' in between", but didn't eliminate him. During the obstacle course portion of the challenge, Chef Hatchet forced Duncan to spend the rest of the night alone in the boathouse for constantly annoying him with his defiance. This was provoked when Duncan kissed Chef on the nose after being told to do twenty more push-ups.

Duncan had also referred to Chef as 'general crazy'. Despite his punishment, Duncan left his solitary confinement with Courtney to go raid Chef's kitchen. It is unknown, but highly likely, that Chef ever had knowledge of Duncan and Courtney being the ones to steal his food.

Hide and Be Sneaky
Chef Hatchet was in charge of the challenge in this episode. Duncan was hiding in a cave for this challenge. When Chef Hatchet found Duncan, he grabbed him by the ear and Duncan spitefully told him that he was found.

Are We There Yeti?
Duncan steals Chef's night-vision goggles at the beginning of the episode, so he and Owen could see in the dark at night and escape the forest easier. Towards the end of the episode, it was revealed that Chef took Duncan's knife to clean his toenails (much to Duncan's disgust). Chef tried to scare Duncan as he rode the Boat Of Losers by wearing the yeti costume and constantly putting the mask on and off.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Duncan, Geoff, and Owen throw Chris into the lake from the Dock of Shame and chase Chef around the island in order to throw him into the lake along with Chris.

The Sand Witch Project
Chef threatened Duncan by questioning if he "likes having his arms attached to his torso", in order to have DJ fill the role of the serial killer in the challenge.

One Million Bucks, B.C.
As Duncan was ready to find some firewood for the first part of the prehistoric challenge, Chef grabs Duncan by the loincloth, and asks him to give back some of his things he stole off-screen.

Super Hero-ld
Chef threw a bowling ball down at both Duncan and Chris instead of Harold during the obstacle course of the superhero challenge. In real life, this would kill Duncan.

Mutiny on the Soundstage
When Duncan was carrying Chef across the bridge for the The Princess Pride challenge, Chef tells Duncan that if he drops him, he is dead meat.

Greece's Pieces
Chris makes the rule that whenever Duncan talks instead of singing, Chef will whip him with a towel, something he frequently does throughout the challenge.

Hawaiian Punch
Duncan, along with everyone else, laughed at Chris and Chef when Ezekiel sank their boat.

Trivia

 * This conflict is partially to be thanked for starting the Courtney-Duncan Relationship, since if Chef Hatchet hadn't sent Duncan to the Boathouse in Basic Straining, Courtney wouldn't have had a reason to talk alone with him and they wouldn't have gotten together.
 * They are both featured in the game, Cartoon Network TKO.
 * The fact may be a reference to this conflict.
 * This conflict is mainly caused by each of their personalities. Duncan (being the trouble making delinquent) and Chef (the strict tough guy), Duncan challenges Chef's authority and began a large conflict.
 * Both have been seen with a chainsaw two times. Chef Hatchet in Hook, Line, and Screamer while playing the role of the "psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook" and in The Sand Witch Project, and Duncan in Hook, Line, and Screamer and Wawanakwa Gone Wild!.
 * Both of them have unibrows.
