Courtney and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Heather.

Overview

Courtney makes fun of Heather while she's stretched on the rack in I See London...

Despite Courtney and Heather being placed on opposing teams in Total Drama Island, the two have a strained relationship from almost the start of the show, and this tension only intensifies throughout Total Drama Action. It is not until the two are placed on the same team in Total Drama World Tour that they really begin to clash. Initially, Courtney intends to join Gwen in voting Heather off, but after Gwen kisses Courtney's boyfriend Duncan, Courtney temporarily enlists Heather's help in voting Gwen off. Heather turns on Courtney when she begins attempting to throw their team's challenges and becomes involved with Heather's love interest, Alejandro.

In Total Drama All-Stars, the two don't have many interactions at first since they are placed on different teams, but as soon as Courtney moves to the Villainous Vultures, the conflict between the two starts again. However, their reunion doesn't last long as Heather is eliminated shortly after Courtney switches teams.
