Season 1[]
Chris was introduced to the house as an art model for an anatomy painting challenge on May 8th, 2023 (Day 21). The fish were tasked with capturing his essence on canvas, which Sylvia won. Shortly after the art challenge, Chris participated in the Hot-Or-Not challenge where fish judged each other's attractiveness. His blunt and harsh judgments, particularly toward Letty, led to a back-and-forth and set the stage for ongoing tensions between them.
Following this, Chris taught a self-defense class for the fish. He also received mentorship from Jason Goldstriker on both stand-up comedy and boxing. Frank Hassle arrived as a freeloader and, despite his disruptive antics, treated Chris kindly, even consoling him during a Reddit-triggered breakdown creating an unexpected bond between the two. That night, Frank directed relentless harassment toward Sylvia which was amplified by TTS messages. As Sylvia voiced her frustration over the situation, Chris unleashed an explosive outburst dismissing her complaints, and comparing them to his own struggles.
In the morning, Chris leads a workout challenge with a strict boot camp style. Sylvia, uncomfortable with the activity, struggles to participate, prompting Chris to berate her with insults like "hog" and "pig" while demanding she prove herself or leave. Chris continued berating her for whining and demanded she stop acting weak.
Chris begins flirting with Letty, proposing they fake an engagement for internet fame. While Letty sarcastically humors him, Chris appears to take it seriously and repeatedly flirts with her, ignoring clear signs of disinterest. Despite being rejected multiple times, his advances persist until Letty’s clone Betty is introduced, and Chris shifts his focus to her.
Chris loses his bag and spirals into a meltdown, smashing holes in the wall with a broom, making a mess, and screaming. It is later found that no one had touched his belongings. Goldstriker encourages him to lean into sexual jokes, claiming the others enjoy them, which Chris uses to further discomfort Letty and the other fish. Later Letty urinates on his clothes, Chris freaks out and falls down the stairs during his outburst. He vandalizes the wall of Letty's bedroom with hot sauce, writing an expletive. The tension peaks when Letty throws soup on him, triggering Chris’s most explosive rage. He spits in her face, screams profanities, and throws a baseball bat, accusing her of destroying his only remaining clothes.
Later, Chris participated in a challenge as a slave master, adopting a southern accent to oversee the others in a competition for the best slave. He remained in the Fishtank house with finalists Letty and Josie through to the finale, participating as an accessory and sometimes subject to the final challenges.
During the finale, Goldstriker and Chris debated Josie's eligibility for Fishbucks. Chris pushed for fairness, challenging Goldstriker's decision to deny the finalists their earnings. The finale ultimately saw Josie return her beloved plushie, Queso, to Goldstriker, securing her the win. Chris was present during the final award ceremony, witnessing Josie claim the $35,000 grand prize.
