Chris and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Chris and Heather.

Overview

Heather is furious at Chris when he announces that she is eliminated in I Triple Dog Dare You!

The relationship between Chris and Heather is one of the more heated conflicts between a host and a contestant; some of it as a result of their clashing egos. On several occasions, Chris seems to show disapproval towards some of Heather's measures for victory and for taking control of the show, yet at the same time, he seems to help her out in slight ways in order to keep her in the competition, because of her strength as an antagonist. Likewise, Heather shows her hatred of Chris' bossy and controlling attitude on the show and particularly dislikes the fact that she is singled out by him. As the series progressed, the conflict has fluctuated, with many moments showing the two getting on each other's nerves.

However, Chris replies that there are no rules, much to Heather's annoyance. After getting her hair shaved from Lindsay's dare, Chris declares Heather eliminated since she did not fully accept the challenge, seeing as she kicked the razor out of Chef's hands at the last minute.
