This article focuses on the interactions between Duncan and Heather.

Overview

HeatherCuddlingDuncan

Heather hangs on to Duncan out of fear in Masters of Disasters.

When he first arrives at Camp Wawanakwa, Duncan shows signs of an attraction towards Heather and openly flirts with her, but she rejects him without batting an eye. During the first two seasons, Duncan, despite being in a relationship with Courtney, occasionally gives her pet names, while she continues to insult him in Total Drama Action (names include "Idiot Boy"). However, like the other contestants, Duncan dislikes Heather's cruelty and harsh attitude. Eventually, Duncan loses all signs of an attraction for her and they continue to be enemies. They form an alliance during the latter parts of Total Drama Island (since their previous alliances are somehow dismantled), but their alliance only lasts a few episodes.

The two interact a lot more when they are both put on the Screaming Gaffers in Total Drama Action. Duncan and Heather's interactions range from complete dislike and disgust, to cordial and cooperative, though it is more-so the former. With the assistance of Harold, he plots her elimination right before the merge.

In Total Drama World Tour, both are caught in the huge web of drama, due to Heather's attraction for Alejandro, and anger towards Courtney, which ends up tying to the latter's drama with Duncan and Gwen. In order to make Alejandro jealous and to tick off Courtney, Heather attempts to flirt with Duncan, which he outright refuses to support. They barely interact in Total Drama All-Stars, due to Duncan switching teams, and Heather's early elimination.

Total Drama Island

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1

Duncan is physically attracted to Heather, as evidenced by his hitting on her a few times in this episode. However, a rivalry develops between them throughout the episode. The first time is when he arrives on the island and says to her, "Meet you at the campfire, gorgeous," to which she replies, "Drop dead, you skeeze". Soon after, when Heather becomes impatient with the attention being paid to Bridgette, Duncan taunts her by saying that she "missed her double cappuccino macchiato" that morning, to which Heather replies with a simple "get bent." Later, Heather shows disgust when Duncan asks to sleep under her, which he seems to do only to irritate her.

No Pain, No Game

Duncan mistakenly accuses Heather of voting Courtney off, not knowing the real culprit behind Courtney's elimination. For this reason, Duncan does not vote Eva off and votes off Heather instead.

Search and Do Not Destroy

Duncan is informed by Leshawna about Trent kissing Heather, and agrees to vote either Trent or Heather off. He seems to be upset about it, despite not having a very strong relationship with Gwen or Trent at this point in the show. Although, he remarks that Trent "messed up," he seems to be equally upset and angry with Heather.

Hide and Be Sneaky

When the girls decide which guy to vote off after finding out about their secret guys' alliance, Heather is vehemently against voting for Duncan, who Gwen, Leshawna, and Bridgette are voting for. Instead, she decides that Owen should be voted out. In addition, Duncan says that they can't vote out Heather since she won immunity again, and he claims that Bridgette is a bigger threat to win.

That's Off the Chain!

Duncan witnesses Heather leaving Lindsay and remarks that what she did was "cold". Heather retaliates by calling Duncan a hypocrite for always "scaring the crap out of everybody". Offended, Duncan defends himself by saying that at least he is honest with people.

Hook, Line, and Screamer

Duncan takes offense when Heather insults his and Gwen's enjoyment of horror movies. He replies that there is more to them than "mindless guts and gore". She also remarks that Gwen and Duncan have more in common than "bad fashion sense". Later, while Heather is showering, she hears someone outside and immediately thinks it is Duncan.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild!

Heather calls Duncan a "criminal" in the confessional and tells the audience that she is the favorite to win the $100,000. Later, Duncan considers joining Heather's alliance, which is a win-win situation, stating that even if it fails, he does not care, as he does not seem to be afraid of Heather being eaten by a bear. After capturing his raccoon, Duncan helps Heather catch a bear with the condition that Heather has antlers and a tail. Determined not to lose, Heather reluctantly agrees. However, the plan fails when Izzy mistakes Heather for a real deer and shoots her with a tranquilizer gun. In the confessional, Duncan laughs at Heather's misfortune. At the end of the episode, the two of them vote Izzy out. Heather is supposed to clean the communal bathrooms for failing the challenge. However, she gets Duncan to clean it for her, pretending to still be paralyzed by the tranquilizer dart, and smiles with satisfaction when he goes back into the communal bathrooms.

Camp Castaways

At the beginning of the episode, Gwen and Heather are fighting, and Duncan sarcastically states that it's so nice for them to be getting along, as it gives him the warm fuzzies. Heather, in response, tells him, "In your dreams, perv!" Later Duncan, in the confessional, states that Heather and Gwen are "hot," but he also states that they are "insane" and "annoying," and remarks "which one would you trust?” Also, when Heather says that both Duncan and Gwen are crazy, Duncan retaliates by saying, "You say that like you aren't crazy." Duncan also comments that she "changes friends more often than he changes socks,” to which Heather mentions that he doesn't change his socks often enough.

Are We There Yeti?

Awtyy3

Heather cuddles up to Duncan, while secretly planning to steal his items.

Heather convinces Gwen to help her trick Duncan and Owen into thinking they need help camping overnight, in an effort to steal all of their supplies. That night, Heather fakes that she is too scared to go to sleep alone, so she cuddles up to Duncan and asks him if she could sleep with him. The effort works, and but soon after, Duncan and Owen become furious with both Gwen and Heather for tricking them. Also, when Duncan is walking the Dock of Shame, Heather insults him, although Duncan ignores her.

Duncan then threatens her to not call him pretty until Gwen intervenes. After watching Duncan's performance, Heather, Chef, Chris and Leshawna are in tears.

The Chefshank Redemption

When Leshawna states that she trusts anyone more than Heather, Duncan agrees, and tells Heather to shut it, not believing her statements about Gwen. Duncan also votes for Heather that night (as Gwen mentions that Duncan did not vote for her), but Gwen is voted off instead.

Along with Leshawna, Heather allows Duncan to be in charge of the second part of the challenge over Harold, because of his street-smarts.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine

At the beginning of the episode, Heather calls Duncan a vandal. She also calls him an idiot for telling Leshawna not to hit the door on her way out of the cabin. While Heather and Harold are arguing over who should open the vault, Duncan insults the both of them in the confessional, as they forget that he is an actual criminal. In the end, Heather lets Duncan take leadership and calls him a genius. After Courtney's return, Heather remarks that Duncan is nervous in the presence of Courtney. Later on, Heather admires Duncan's ability to assemble the go-kart, to which he responds that it is like taking one apart but in reverse.

Million Dollar Babies

Duncan cheers Heather on when she is playing a badminton match with Beth telling her to show no mercy. While Duncan was wrestling Courtney in the ball pit, Heather laughs at the latter while Courtney puts a "diaper shark" in his mouth. During the tie-breaker challenge, Heather suggests that her team should cheer for her to which Duncan replies by saying he'd rather cheer for his school principal, his mother, or even Leshawna. Duncan (along with Harold) also votes Heather off in this episode, because even though he is angry by Leshawna when she makes some rude comments about him (and all of the other contestants) on Courtney's PDA, he immediately forgives her when she performs a cheer apologizing to all of the contestants.

Mutiny on the Soundstage

After Duncan completes one of the challenges, which is about kissing a monster, he states he'd rather kiss Heather again.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special

Heather reveals that she owns a picture of Duncan. The reason she owns it is unknown, though it may have just been for her to use while making fun of Gwen.
