“	Last time on Disventure Camp...	„
	~ Kristal McLane's iconic catchphrase.

Kristal McLane is the overarching protagonist of the Mexican animated series Disventure Camp, a Spanish-language web series based on the Canadian animated franchise Total Drama. She serves as the overarching antagonist of the second season, the overarching protagonist of Disventure Camp: All-Stars, and the main protagonist of the Staff Stories episode "Blood Bond."

She is a reality TV show hostess and the daughter of famed TV host Christoff McLane. Sometime after the renewal of Disventure Camp for a second season following the controversial first season, Kristal decides to fill her father's shoes and take over as hostess of the show, but her cruel nature starts catching up to her as the season progresses, forcing her staff to step in so she doesn't embrace her dark side.

She is voiced by Poulette Aref in the English dub, Noemy Cyrman in Spanish as an adult, and Cinty Gallardo in Spanish as a child. Also, Agnieszka Wiśniewska voices her in the Polish dub.

Her Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Her Heinous?[]

Season 2[]

She makes use of her powerful connections to get hired as host of Disventure Camp in spite of the show's controversies about Derek Johnson's and Trevor McGregor's crimes against wildlife in its previous season.
She takes pleasure at sadistically torturing her contestants through life-threatening challenges if they displease her just so she can laugh at their expense or at their misery.
She doesn't care for the state of Camp Tipiskaw's cabins for the Orange and Green Teams, not giving them clean sheets even forcing all of them to sleep together instead of having their separate cabins by gender, threatening Karol to kick her out for complaining about this, even if she was being unnecessarily hostile.
She doesn't call Yul out for picking on Maggy, instead telling him to shut up as she is sick of interruptions.
She informs the Orange Team about Oliver being the reason they lost instead of staying silent, essentially setting Oliver up for elimination.
- Although she later has a change of heart and lets Oliver stay as an intern, she immediately shoves him away for hugging her and mistreats him until he quits for a while and she apologizes, admitting that she only let a "pathetic intern" like him stay as a reminder to not lose her humanity for ratings, implying that her letting him stay was out of pragmatism at least at first. She also reveals to have implanted a tracking chip on him to find him if he ran away.
She forces both the Green and Orange Teams to not sleep for hours in the second challenge. When only Karol and Ally remain, she gives them sleepy orange juice just to end the challenge, delighting at Karol's horror of being drugged against her will.
She organizes a fan service challenge that forces the contestants to kiss each other, even if they aren't that comfortable. She also enjoys the drama Yul causes when he insults Maggy, heavily implied that she rigged the wheel so Yul would be forced to kiss her.
She randomly opts to make a double elimination after Kai gets the boot, leading Connor to quit the game to save Riya or himself from Yul's alliance.
She forces the contestants to answer embarrassing questions, which counts as privacy violation. If they refuse to answer, she forces the opposite team to guess who is the one from the secret. She also dumps both teams into Lake Tipiskaw in two occasions for a prolonged period of time that could have drowned them, especially in the second time, as she wanted to let them stay there for five minutes.
- She enjoys the embarrassment of Lake and Ally when the former is revealed to be bald and the latter to have posed in a playboy bunny costume once.
- She spitefully reveals some deep secrets about the contestants, like that Rosa Maria considered to abort her daughter, Tess is an orphan or that both Tess and Ally love Hunter, but more importantly that Aiden is a transgender boy, which qualifies as outing. Although Kristal didn't say who had transitioned in the Orange Team, she let the Green Team guess that, though Rosa Maria fortunately opted to not say anything to not violate Aiden's privacy.
She refuses to let Lake teach Maggy a trick to win her tie-breaker against Yul, resulting in Maggy's elimination.
She replaces a talent show for a challenge where everyone has to obey her or otherwise they lose, forcing the contestants to accomplish cruel orders like giving their possessions to her, burning their belongings (including the books Lake must read to study or even Tess' anti-depressants), taking Nina hostage even though that angers Marcus, serving her like her servants, depilating their body parts, licking Oliver's feet or even running away naked in live television before ordering Lake to take her wig off, making her cry and snap at Kristal.
She dissolves the teams by taking them far away from Camp Tipiskaw and then forcing them to find a way back with no supplies, yelling at Oliver for leaving some out of human decency, then firing him out telling her that she had become worse than her father Chris McLean.
She removes Lake from the game because her father paid her a generous amount of money, opining that she could talk him out of it but chooses not to out of spite for what Lake told her last challenge. In doing so, she also leaves Hunter to fend for himself in the forest but doesn't care.
She gets angry at Hunter and Aiden questioning the strength of her poorly-built platforms.
She disqualifies Tess even though her ball got deflated because of her own fault, telling her that she is the only one who decides what's fair or not.
She opts to not count that Lake ended the challenge first because her ball cannon accidentally knocked her ring from the totem it had to land on, declaring Hunter the challenge's winner even though he completed it second.
She threatens to eliminate Ally if she tries to quit to spare Tess from elimination.
She lets Marcus and Nina to take over for one episode as she looks for Oliver to apologize to him and come back, leading Nina to kidnap Marcus and host a horror challenge that manipulates all the contestants into believing that there's a psycho killer, who is actually Karol, allowing her to return to the game and orchestrating Lake's elimination.
She reveals after apologizing to Oliver that none of the eliminated contestants could leave the hotel where they stayed until the competition ended.
She organizes a sled race which could hurt the contestants, only giving Oliver a helmet due to his status as a non-contestant. She also declares Hunter the winner even though he got his blindfold taken off accidentally, but doesn't give it to Ally as well for being knocked off during the descent, leading her to be eliminated.
Her reactions during the final five challenge heavily indicate that she planned to make a shootout with real darts without protecting glasses.
She seemingly opts to not reprimand Riya for locking Aiden and James out from the cabin.
She Installs two ball cannons in the finale to let anyone prevent James or Riya from winning, which allows Karol to take the opportunity to hurt James out of revenge for her eliminations.

Season 3[]

She opts to bail Derek and Trevor out from prison in exchange of hiring them as interns due to admiring the work they did in the first season in spite of them being criminals who went to prison due to endangering the contestants and killing Camp Tipiskaw's wildlife. She also seems to be open to abuse them (though they deserve it anyway) considering how she rudely pushes them away in the opening sequence.
She reprimands some of the contestants for arriving late to the plane as she picks them up for the new season, even taunting Hunter and Ally for forgetting their Nintendo Switch due to her new rule of no electronic devices allowed, rudely telling Tom that she doesn't care for his reasons to be late.
She lands the plane on Ashley's farm without asking for permission, even breaking a fence.
She bribes a nun to let Fiore escape from the boarding school where she was sent to stay.
She gets rid of the cabins and the mess hall to force the contestants to make their own tents for the competition.
- In fact, Kristal admits later on during the first challenge that she burned down the cabins to "repair" the environment to make up for the crimes against wildlife her predecessors committed in season and avoid any issues with inspectors, even though doing so forces the campers to have to sleep on the outside and be threatened by storms, only supplying a waterproof tent for the Cyan Team due to winning the first challenge.
She brings in harmless, slightly harmful and dangerous animals for the first challenge, which involves taking them to cages in a way that feels like "soccer with animals" as Gabby puts it, though Kristal doesn't mind, instead letting the contestants hit themselves and be endangered by the animals, like Fiore and Riya.
While she helped repopulate Camp Tipiskaw's forests by bringing in animals in the third season's first challenge so they can replenish the original wildlife Derek and Trevor massacred, this didn't seem to be out of kindness; she suggested she did so to make it less likely she'd get in trouble with the law if the camp were to be inspected.
She organizes an underwater challenge that involves retrieving a treasure chest, but opts to let out the sharks and eels sooner than planned because of Derek's suggestion, even sadistically forcing Derek and Trevor to test the challenge (while Derek deserved it for proposing that, Trevor did nothing to deserve that danger), which endangers the lives of Tom, Aiden and Riya.
She organizes a race challenge that involves contestants digging for sacks and take them back to their teams by any means possible, even though this clearly puts Fiore and Miriam at a disadvantage due to their ages.
She angrily disqualifies the Yellow Team for accidentally burning down the talent show stage and the instruments she supplied them and forces only Trevor to clean up the mess along with Connor after he gets eliminated, letting Derek not clean anything due to her coming to like him.
She allows Derek to not test the big football-like challenge and announce it out of admiration for his work in the first season and seeing his potential, implying that she likes his immorality.
- By contrast, Kristal forces Trevor to test the challenge and even makes him carry the balls to the cliff if the contestants find a free pass, like Riya does.
She makes a fatphobic joke at Grett's expense when she gives pizzas to the Yellow Team, joking how the reward can last for three days or for twenty minutes in reference to Grett and her weight issues, even though Grett doesn't apparently catch the joke.
She invests Trevor's salary on a space simulator for a challenge Derek comes up with, but tells the contestants they are really going to space and that they are gonna run out of oxygen if they don't escape in time in a escape room scenario, taunting Aiden for his fear for heights.

What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]

Kristal is often an on & off protagonist/antagonist whose actions aren't always villainous and in fact she does realize over time how bad she is becoming, taking her time to reflect on her acts.
She is occasionally played for laughs, especially when she proves herself to be an incompetent handywoman.
Shows some remorse over her actions, asking to herself if she sounded like her father when she sets Oliver up to be eliminated.
She is tragic, as she grew up without a mother and she barely saw her father directly, as Christoff was often busy with his duties hosting his reality show with this being played for sympathy.
She adheres to the rules unlike her father, always accepting the advantage or totems the players find throughout the season, never twisting the rules to her whims. Her honor carries into the finale, as she awards James with his prize money.
She has several moments of kindness, such as:
- Giving one free day to all the campers so they can socialize and get to know themselves before having their first challenge.
- Letting Oliver stay as an intern upon being eliminated due to hearing how he didn't have a stable job back home, assuring him he would be better treated than previously as there had been a change in the show's management and asking him to give her tips to be nicer.
- Supplying Ally and Karol with sleepy orange juice out of concern that the challenge had extended too much.
- Allowing Connor to quit despite disliking how he ruined the drama a double elimination would cause.
- Calling an ambulance for Yul despite that he got himself intoxicated while trying to poison Aiden.
- Refusing to send Lake back to her parents upon hearing how horrible they are, even though Lake had offended her one challenge ago due to relating with her. Although she says that she only did so to prevent the show's drama from being ruined.
- Granting everyone a non-elimination day and rewarding Aiden and James with the use of her personal jacuzzi, allowing them to invite everyone they wished.
- Asking Oliver to decide which sled was the best.
- Supplying Oliver with a helmet for his safety.
- Granting Hunter the victory during the final seven challenge, not disqualifying him despite accidentally taking off his blindfold.
- Preparing Oliver a breakfast, even though she felt forced at the time.
- Letting Hunter sleep in the production tent because Marcus hadn't returned yet.
- Letting James choose Rosa Maria when it becomes obvious no one is gonna root for him.
- Making sure the finale challenge was safe, with Aiden nearly dying just because Oliver forgot to add the safety nets.
- Dining with Emily, Derek and Trevor even though she often mistreats the latter two.
- In the All-Stars finale, she shows concern for Emily after she was attacked by scorpions in spite of her attempt to cancel Disventure Camp.
- Not using real arrows during the final challenge in All-Stars, which is a Roman colosseum challenge, and using a tamed (or trained, as she puts it) tiger instead of a wild one.
She possesses more standards than her father, even before realizing how evil she is becoming, as she doesn't wish to mistreat the crew and even asks Oliver to tell her if she is going too far.
Her hatred for Aiden is somewhat justified given how Aiden always criticizes her lack of originality when it comes for challenges.
Redeems herself in the two-parter season two finale, initially planning to quit the show before Oliver, Marcus and Nina convince her to stay and promoting Oliver on his job.
She shows reluctance to give Riya the prize money when she wins, as she sacrificed her morals to do so.
She cares for Oliver, Marcus, and Nina as she reveals in "Blood Bond" that she views them (along with Oliver) as family.
