This article focuses on the interactions between Chris and the interns.

Overview[]

Theme Song (1)

All the interns carry a totem pole per Chris's request in the opening sequence of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.

Chris has little to no remorse for the pain he inflicts on people throughout the series. This is especially so in the case of the interns. They often require medical attention after testing the host's crazy challenges. Some are even the only characters in the show to die at the hands of them. Chris lacks any concern when this happens, sometimes shrugging and saying with a smile, "That seems safe enough." Despite their lack of dialogue, the interns' resentment of Chris is obvious. They appear satisfied whenever he is the one receiving pain. They can also be seen with disapproving looks on their faces as they obey his every order.

With the most speaking lines and the most focused on conflict with Chris, Dakota, who makes her debut in season four, is the most prominent intern. From her unexpected return in Ice Ice Baby, Chris deprives her of technology and her paparazzi and forces her to perform laborious tasks. It is thanks to Chris that Dakota suffers major disaster that she is shown to still be dealing with in Total Drama All-Stars.
