This article focuses on the interactions between Chef Hatchet and DJ.

Overview[]

DJChefRightorWrong

Chef tries to clear DJ's guiltiness being in an alliance with him.

The two have limited interactions over the course of Total Drama Island, but develop a conflict during Total Drama Action, after Chef creates an illegal alliance with DJ. Under the terms of the alliance, Chef would help DJ become tough enough to win the season, in exchange for a share of the prize. He is also given special treatment, and his team given advantages in select challenges. However, this ultimately causes DJ to feel excessively guilty for his questionable actions, leading to his ultimate departure from the game. Since then, as evidenced when DJ makes his cameo appearance in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, Chef still resents DJ for their failed partnership and forces him against his will to come back to the show.

He tells the Gaffers that DJ for sure won't play the tough guy in their scene, which makes DJ almost cry. He pulls DJ aside and forces him to form an alliance with him, with DJ promising to share the prize money with Chef if he wins. After the challenge, DJ chides Chef for crying over Duncan's acting but Chef counters back by saying that if it wasn't for him, DJ's team would lose.
