Chris entered the house as a fan of the game and used that knowledge to get himself in an ideal place early on. He got recruited into Miesha Tate's Athlete's Alliance while maintaining friendly relationships with everybody else. Additionally, he made a critical bond with Shanna Moakler on Day 2, officially becoming partners in the game. After becoming Head of Household, Chris set his focus on Mirai Nagasu, feeling she was a threat and someone loyal to Miesha above all. But as the first live veto of the season loomed, Chris and Shanna began to formulate other plans, entertaining the idea of backdooring Miesha’s closest ally Todrick Hall.
Despite Shanna winning the veto, Chris chose not to go through with the Todrick plan, wary of whether Chris Kattan would vote with them. Instead, they played it safe, and Mirai was evicted. But despite not making the move, Miesha and Todrick were beginning to sense Chris’ waning devotion to their group. When Miesha came into power once more, she initially targeted the duo of Cynthia Bailey and Carson Kressley. When Shanna won the veto, Chris suggested she use it this time. The hope would be that Carson would be safe, and they could continue to ride the middle, even with the risk that Chris could be nominated himself. And that turned out to be just the case. Shanna stunned Miesha when she went back on her word and took down Carson. And as retribution, she nominated Chris. As a result, Chris faced an abrupt end to his game, being evicted in a unanimous 5-0 vote.
Chris appeared as a contestant on the eighth season of Fox's The Masked Singer (US) as "Hummingbird".[1] He was eliminated in the first episode but due to a cliffhanger, he was not unmasked until the beginning of the second episode, placing 20th.
