This article focuses on the interactions between Heather and Leshawna.
Overview[]
Heather and Leshawna's first confrontation in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2.
Heather and Leshawna's conflict begins on day one of Total Drama Island. After both girls are placed on the Screaming Gophers, Leshawna forces Heather to partake in the first challenge, causing Heather to resent her. As the season progresses, the two grow to despise one other, especially after Heather kisses Trent, Gwen's then-love interest. This culminates in Leshawna seeking revenge on Heather in a variety of ways, such as shredding her clothes, locking her in the confessional, and allowing her to be attacked by beavers.
In Total Drama Action, their conflict plateaus when the two are selected as part of the same team again. Their constant bickering becomes a source of comic relief, but they are also able to work together rather effectively, earning them many victories during the first half of the season. When Leshawna is caught on camera badmouthing the other players, Heather defends her longtime rival, and the two form a truce when Heather is eliminated later that evening.
However, this truce is broken in Total Drama World Tour, when Leshawna attacks Heather after Heather warns her of Alejandro's true nature. Leshawna's actions ultimately lead to her elimination, and in later episodes, she appears to have no remorse for beating up Heather. Heather also takes several shots at Leshawna over the course of the season, indicating that the two girls have never truly overcome their dislike for each other.
Total Drama Island[]
Opening sequence[]
Heather and Leshawna are fighting during the opening sequence.
In the opening sequence, Heather and Leshawna are seen in a rubber raft, slapping each other. They fight until they fall down a waterfall, which they did not notice because they were too busy fighting.
Not So Happy Campers - Part 2[]
Leshawna throws Heather off the cliff.
The conflict between the two girls began in this episode. The campers were at the top of the cliff, getting ready to jump into the shark-infested waters to get to a certain safe zone. Heather refused to jump because she would get her hair wet, and when Lindsay heard this, she agreed and refused to jump as well. Leshawna was very focused on winning (and found Heather's reasons for refusing to jump unbelievable), so she started arguing with Heather. Heather calls Leshawna a "ghetto-glamor, too-tight-pants-wearing, rap-star wannabe", Leshawna then angrily insults her by saying she's a "mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen-girl reading, peaking-in-high-school-prom queen". Heather replies that at least she's popular, which makes Leshawna get angry enough to pick her up and throw her over the edge of the cliff, but into the safe zone.
Heather insincerely apologizes to Leshawna.
Heather became very angry with Leshawna and vowed to get her back. Leshawna responded by yelling, "I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I? Now I hope I can hit it too," she continued as she jumped over the edge. Later, when Heather and Leshawna opened their crates, Heather insincerely apologized to Leshawna and pretended to compliment her earrings. Leshawna thought it was a sincere apology, but as Heather and Lindsay were talking, Heather told Lindsay to "keep her friends close and her enemies closer" and then began plotting her revenge on Leshawna.
The Big Sleep[]
When Owen stopped to drink some water, Heather berated him for his lack of stamina and told Owen that he had a condition called "overeating". Leshawna stopped to catch her breath and started to insult Heather, saying that her problem was being too skinny and annoying, but then claimed that she was "too tired for insults".
Dodgebrawl[]
When Leshawna takes out Harold in the dodgeball game, Heather is seen clapping for her. Contrary to their usual bickering, Leshawna found Heather to be a good coach.
Not Quite Famous[]
Leshawna is seen clapping for Heather's ballet dance as she auditions for a spot on the talent show. When Justin is unfairly voted out, even though Heather was the favorite for elimination, Leshawna can be seen glaring at her.
The Sucky Outdoors[]
Heather expresses concern towards Leshawna when she falls off the tree and is confronted by the "bear".
Paintball Deer Hunter[]
During the challenge, Leshawna saw a deer in the distance, but could not see that it was Heather, who she then shot with her paintball gun. She apologized, but Heather became furious with her and demanded that Beth give up her paintball gun so she could return the favor. Soon enough, Leshawna and Beth (who turned on Heather) ended up tag teaming Heather in a paintball fight, which cost them the challenge. Heather was so angry with the antics of this challenge that she said out loud that she wished she could vote for two campers at once (Beth was the one she voted for, but she gestured to Leshawna when she said she wanted to vote out another camper at the same time). Although Leshawna voted off the badly mauled Cody in this episode, she clearly would have voted off Heather if Cody's elimination wasn't necessary for the team.
If You Can't Take The Heat...[]
Leshawna and Heather begin to argue.
The conflict reached its boiling point when Leshawna was part of an intense feud with Heather during this challenge when both teams had to cook three-course meals for Chris. Heather was extremely bossy with the team, as she was the leader after calling them together, and constantly insulted Leshawna, disregarding her contributions and suggestions to help with the challenge. Heather forced Leshawna to cut pineapple, a fruit that caused Leshawna to have an allergic skin reaction. When this caused Leshawna's arms to break out in a series of rashes, Heather would not even allow her to treat her condition until after they had won the challenge. This infuriated Leshawna to the point where she almost physically attacked Heather and had to be restrained by Gwen, Lindsay, and Beth all at once to keep her from going too far. Eventually, Leshawna found another way to get back at Heather by throwing Heather's makeup bag into the freezer with the help of Beth and even Lindsay. When Heather went inside to retrieve it, Leshawna locked her in, which eventually caused the Gophers to lose the challenge again and Heather's skin to turn blue for a short time.
Leshawna was determined to get rid of Heather when the group gathered to decide who to eliminate, but she was reminded that Beth was the one who cursed them and caused their losing streak. Unlike the others, she seemed to care more about getting rid of Heather, as she prayed to the curse that lingered over them to hit Heather next, preferably on the head. She probably voted for Heather, but the majority of the votes went to Beth because of the curse, so she was the one to go. Again, Heather considered voting Leshawna out, but chose Beth instead, and this time she managed to get rid of her.
Who Can You Trust?[]
At the beginning of the episode, Heather is suffering from a cold from being locked in the freezer in the previous episode, so she is wrapped in a blanket with a runny nose and drinking tea to get better. She is furious when Gwen and Leshawna mock her in her moment of weakness and vows to get revenge on them (though she only got revenge on Gwen).
X-Treme Torture[]
Leshawna goes after Heather after finding out that it was her breast Harold saw.
Harold wrote Leshawna a haiku poem and kissed her as they left the island. Then Geoff and Owen brought up the fact that Harold claimed to have seen "boobies". They thought it was Leshawna's, and then she tried to ask Harold whose nipples he saw, but Harold was too far away to hear. Leshawna finds out it was Heather and confronts her about it. While Heather admitted that it was an accident. Heather asked Leshawna if she'd really show that "dweeb" her "boobs" on purpose. Without saying anything, Leshawna angrily chases Heather around the campsite.
Brunch of Disgustingness[]
Leshawna accuses Heather of eating her food.
After the two teams were divided into boys and girls, Bridgette was the only new girl in the Gophers' cabin. As soon as Bridgette entered the cabin, Leshawna and Heather had a heated argument about Leshawna accusing Heather of eating her food without her permission. Heather then points out that she does not like Leshawna taking off her bra, and also makes fun of the size of her butt. Just as Leshawna is about to get physical, Heather drops the argument when she sees Bridgette. Heather and Leshawna continue to argue about b Heather tricked Bridgette into joining her side. Heather then makes a line of duct tape in the cabin between her and Lindsay's side and Leshawna and Gwen's side, forcing Bridgette to choose a side. She eventually chooses Leshawna and Gwen's side, infuriating Heather. They then went to the challenge, which was for both teams to eat a series of disgusting meals. Leshawna refused to eat some of the food, costing the girls' team a few wins and making Heather angry with her every time. When the teams are tied, Leshawna and Owen face off to drink the most mixed cockroaches. Owen wins for the boys, and Heather berates Leshawna for being "useless", causing Leshawna to vomit. Returning to their cabin, Leshawna and Gwen lock Heather and Lindsay out.
No Pain, No Game[]
Before the boys return from their weekend trip to the spa, the girls give each other the silent treatment with plenty of stares. While Leshawna is quietly eating chips, she is seen glaring at Heather. A recently returned Eva angrily inquires about the line of duct tape in the middle of the girls' cabin. Neither of them wanted to get on Eva's bad side, so after Leshawna assures Eva that everything is taken care of, she makes sure that Heather agrees with her. Heather removes the tape and throws it away, going along with Leshawna's attempt to keep the peace with Eva. It is implied that if Leshawna had not won invincibility this episode, Heather would have voted her out instead of Eva.
Search and Do Not Destroy[]
Leshawna makes Heather pay by pumping sewage into her shower.
After Heather kisses Trent, Gwen runs back to the cabin crying and tells Leshawna the story. Leshawna asks everyone except Trent, Lindsay and Izzy to vote for Heather. When Heather got the invincibility pass, everyone voted Trent out. When he was voted off, Heather told him and Gwen that she had set them up. Gwen and Trent made up and he left. However, Leshawna will not let this deception go. While Heather is taking a shower, Leshawna reconnects the pipes to the sewers, causing Heather to scream as she is smothered in sewage.
Hide and Be Sneaky[]
Heather and Leshawna get physical.
At the beginning of the episode, Heather finds out that Leshawna has shredded all of her clothes (most likely while Heather was taking a shower after Leshawna presumably fixed the showers and sinks for other campers to use). Later, the boys recall the events of the morning in the communal bathrooms, where Heather and Leshawna were getting ready and Gwen was showering. Heather (intentionally) turned the sink on too hot to make the water in Gwen's shower cold, causing Gwen to scream. Leshawna then slapped Heather in the face, which started a violent catfight between them. The fight was unseen, but soon screaming and breaking could be heard, which Owen and DJ overheard. At first they laugh at the unseen brawl, but as the sounds get worse, they both slowly back away from the washrooms, even though they desperately need to use the restroom. When the girls find out about the guys' alliance and their strategy of unanimously voting the girls out one by one, Heather and Leshawna are unable to agree with the other girls on which guy to eliminate in retaliation. When she, Gwen, Bridgette, and possibly Izzy refuse to go along with Heather and Lindsay's choice, Heather refuses to back down despite being outnumbered. As a result, the guys' alliance wins the vote to eliminate Bridgette in this episode.
Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon[]
During the campfire ceremony, Leshawna tells the viewers in the confessional that she is voting for Heather.
Camp Castaways[]
Heather mocks Gwen for sulking over Leshawna (who had been wrongfully eliminated in the previous episode). This clearly shows her satisfaction with the fact that she was rid of Leshawna, and that without her Gwen would be an easier target.
The Very Last Episode, Really![]
Izzy brought out a plate of brownies and Lindsay brought out a fan to help Owen win as he was falling behind. When Lindsay accidentally turned on the fan backwards, Heather's wig flew away, causing her to complain (she was bald at the time) about everyone. This irritates Leshawna greatly and she declares that she had officially had enough of her. She locks Heather in the confessional, which Owen had used after he ate a laxative cupcake that Heather had intentionally gave to Gwen to eat (writing a note saying that it was from Trent). Heather was forced to choke on the nauseating stench and ultimately did not see for herself who won.
Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island[]
At the beginning of the episode, Leshawna reveals that she drew a smiley face on the back of Heather's bald head (most likely while she was sleeping); in the confessional stall, Leshawna says she was lucky it wasn't tattooed on her head instead. When Leshawna refused to let Heather on her team to find the 1 million dollar case, Heather insults Leshawna's weight, calling her a "Big-butted, loud-mouthed, mall-shopping, homegirl”. Leshawna gets revenge near the end of the episode for calling her that when she nearly runs over Heather with a four-wheeler, chasing her right off the Dock of Shame and straight into the water.
Total Drama Action[]
Opening sequence[]
Heather hits Leshawna in the stomach in the Opening Sequence.
Leshawna and Heather are seen lamp fighting at the line "Everything to prove; nothing in my way, I'll get there one day". Leshawna manages to hit Heather hard enough to shake her wig off, which falls into a pot of stew that Chef is cooking. Leshawna smirks after knocking Heather's wig off.
Monster Cash[]
Leshawna and the other girls are desperate not to share a bunk bed with Heather, though the arrangements end up precisely that way, leaving Heather with two bunks by Riot On Set (with no explanation). Leshawna bitterly comments that they did not think their plan through.
Riot On Set[]
Though they both hate Heather, Leshawna advises Gwen to "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer", using Heather's own strategy against her. Meanwhile, Heather has formed an alliance with Harold, who remains a close friend of hers. When Heather is accidentally hung upside-down by a light's cord, she screams out that she knows Leshawna is responsible for it, although it is unlikely that this was the case. Afterward, Harold comes to help her down, resulting in Heather using him for an alliance.
Beach Blanket Bogus[]
Heather calls Leshawna 'Prima Balleri-NO,' in reference to Leshawna's dancing in the "Watusi-Twist-Mashed Potato-Dorky-Old School" dance off.
3:10 to Crazytown[]
The two constantly argue as they perform the horse-jumping challenge while climbing the ladder. An irritated Leshawna asks why Heather always has her belly button exposed, telling the girl to "Put a shirt on!" to which Heather makes fun of Leshawna's afro (a result of the blistering humidity on that day). Leshawna, mirroring what she did to Heather in Total Drama Island's second episode, throws Heather off the diving board towards the horse, only this time is dragged down along with her. They both land on a roof ornament and hang by their pants, Leshawna falls off and hits the ground showing her butt, but Heather remains trapped on the ornament. She then is helped off-screen.
The Chefshank Redemption[]
Leshawna refuses to listen to Heather's genuine concerns about Gwen.
Leshawna states that she trusts anyone more than Heather, and refuses to believe that Heather's constant insistence that Gwen was working against their team. Despite their conflict, Leshawna didn't vote for Heather and instead vote for Gwen instead for smashing a shovel on Harold. Leshawna even refused to admit Heather's assumptions were correct, even as she voted for Gwen to be eliminated. Leshawna also referred to Heather as 'Miss-Sourpuss-I'mma-vote-you-off-next' and 'Toothpick'.
One Flu Over the Cuckoos[]
Heather gives Leshawna (and Duncan) a hard time for skipping out on an all-night study session in preparation for the next day's challenge. Heather is also seen in the confessional, saying Leshawna is talentless and could only help win the challenge if it was about plus-sized clothes shopping. Leshawna attempts to form an alliance with Duncan and Harold, her reasons for such being that they need to be wary of Heather now that Gwen has been eliminated, and generally wants Heather "out of her face”. She does not succeed in this episode, due to the conflict between Duncan and Harold. The only other direct interaction between the two in the episode is a, surprisingly, positive one. At the end of the episode, Heather shows sympathy for a crying Leshawna, saying she must have a heart after all when Leshawna claims she was afraid of her fellow contestants losing. Heather votes for Leshawna to have the award over herself.
The Sand Witch Project[]
Leshawna gets angry at Heather when she slaps DJ.
Masters of Disasters[]
Heather and Leshawna's conflict gets violent in Masters of Disasters.
In the submarine escape challenge, Heather makes a sarcastic comment about Leshawna's weight, leading to the two girls slap fighting until Duncan tells them to break it up. When Leshawna accidentally admitted she faked her crying two episodes earlier, Heather, along with Duncan, was angry at her. Heather tells her that she is going to pay for manipulating their team, and refers to her as "Big, Loud and Proud”.
Full Metal Drama[]
When Leshawna was having trouble with her "air baby" (a build-up of gas within her body from over-consumption of bran smoothies earlier in the episode), Heather reluctantly helps her ride it out. She rubbed Leshawna's head and sang her a lullaby in annoyance and slight anger. She eventually abandons Leshawna (and the rest of her teammates) after Leshawna can no longer hold in the air and stinks up their hiding place.
Ocean's Eight - Or Nine[]
At the start of the episode, Heather was making fun of Leshawna's hair style in previous episodes. Heather also jokingly tells Leshawna that she should write a tell-all book called Weave (We've) Got Problems. Heather and Duncan convinces Harold to leave Leshawna locked up in the vault for her fake tears for the entire episode, which angers Leshawna.
One Million Bucks, B.C.[]
After Leshawna finally gets out of the vault, she berates Heather for leaving her locked up to starve. Heather once again accuses Leshawna of stealing her spa day, to which Leshawna points out she wouldn't have had much to do, since Heather has no hair. Later, Heather contemplates whose hair to steal for her own, and is quick to reject Leshawna's "gross weave”. Leshawna also cheers loudly when Heather loses her bone fight, and falls into the tar pit, even though it meant a loss for her own team.
Million Dollar Babies[]
It is revealed via digital assistant that Leshawna insulted the other contestants including calling Heather "just mean for the sake of being mean". Surprisingly, Heather is the only person who doesn't get angry at Leshawna (although she does glare at Leshawna like the others after watching the video). She in fact actually respects Leshawna for "telling it like it is", and doesn't understand the reactions of everyone else when she points out that she trashes people all the time. Heather is also included in Leshawna's cheer in the final challenge when she compliments everyone. At the end of the episode, after Heather gets eliminated instead of her, Leshawna and Heather finally make peace from their past hostility, with Leshawna offering to be her friend, though she states she'll deny it if Heather tells anyone. Before taking off in the Lame-o-sine, Heather gives Leshawna her wig as a parting gift to remember her by (though she takes one more shot at Leshawna by insulting her hair before leaving). This and Leshawna's offended reaction made it vague at best as to whether or not this truce would last, until further episodes picked up on it.
The Aftermath: III[]
Leshawna laughs at Heather after watching a clip where she hits herself with a yo-yo.
Leshawna and Heather are both guests on the aftermath. During a never-before-seen clip Heather is shown hitting herself with a yo-yo. Leshawna (along with the rest of the studio) laughs at Heather. Heather tells Leshawna she thought they were friends to which Leshawna tells her that they are, but that doesn't make her any less funny. When Leshawna is in the lie-detecting electric chair, she says that although Heather can be a "witch", she believes that Heather is actually her friend because she stood up for her, which means a lot where Leshawna comes from. She also praises Heather for having the courage to face the electrocuting lie detector.
The Aftermath: IV[]
When Beth mentioned her boyfriend Brady, Heather gets frustrated, assuming that she doesn't have one. Leshawna joined in on Heather's teasing by saying that she must let Beth "believe".
Total Drama World Tour[]
Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better[]
Leshawna tells DJ to keep moving and ignore Courtney, who doesn't know how to tie herself to Team Amazon's dog sled. Heather sarcastically talks about Leshawna and DJ's sportsmanship.
Slap Slap Revolution[]
Leshawna slaps Heather multiple times during the dance challenge.
Heather tries to warns Leshawna "from one girl to another" that Alejandro isn't what he appears to be and seems to really mean the warning. However, Leshawna ignores this due to her attraction to Alejandro. Eventually, Leshawna beats up Heather multiple times after being told to "seize the day" by Alejandro, knocking out one of her teeth in the process, displaying violent behavior towards Heather. This causes Team Victory to lose the challenge and Leshawna to be voted off. This now further implies that Heather and Leshawna are now no longer friends as they once said during the previous season.
Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon[]
When Geoff asks Leshawna about how beating Heather up felt like, she states it was fun.
Aftermath Aftermayhem[]
Leshawna states that she had no problems in fighting Heather when she was given a challenge where she had to fight a kangaroo.
Rapa Phooey![]
When trying to get her egg out of Leshawna's head Heather calls it massive when struggling to get the egg out of her earring. Also when her egg breaks she says Leshawna's name in anger.
Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles[]
Leshawna looks mad at Heather when she makes it to the finish line first over Cody and Alejandro as Heather secures a spot in the final two.
Hawaiian Punch[]
Leshawna gives Heather the finger.
Leshawna is seen laughing when Heather gets pelted by golf balls. When Heather asks for support from Team Heather, Leshawna gives Heather the finger, then dares either Alejandro or Heather to pick her as a partner, to which they don't. In Heather's ending, Leshawna and the others (except Courtney initially) are seen cheering for Heather when she wins Total Drama World Tour, along with the one million dollars prize.
Trivia[]
- This is arguably one of the most intense and long-running conflicts in the series, with the others being Gwen and Heather, and Duncan and Harold.
