Relationships

Chris is most commonly shipped with his co-host Chef Hatchet, forming Chef Hatchet/Chris McLean. This has been shipped in some capacity since 2007 and is one of the few pairings possible with both characters where both parties are of age. All of Chris' other popular pairings involve him with one of the underage Total Drama contestants. Chris McLean/Lindsay, which pairs him with Lindsay, was a semi-popular pairing in early TD fandom. His ship with Topher, Chris McLean/Topher, was popular in some circles during/after the airing of Total Drama: Pahkitew Island.
