First of all, I absolutely love Courtney. She's an amazing character. Which is why I'm majorly put off by how eagerly they derail her every chance they get. It's disgusting. Courtney has always had superb potential as a character and at times is incredible as a player and as a person. But seeing how her development keeps getting backtracked through one contrived means or another, I cannot call her the best developed. What she is is a character who's flaws have been exploited to disastrous effect, making for a character who can be frustrating because you just know what sad stunt they'll pull every time it seems they get a bit of a balance back in. As such, I don't think her potential was exploited properly and has yet to be done so.

Duncan was a really cool character in TDI, and while he was never ever my favorite he was a nicely balanced character back then too. However before the Terrible Trio came along, he was also majorly overexposed as time went on, and his more negative traits also got played up and made him more of an annoyance than anything else. Dude was often treated like the center of the universe by the time TDWT rolled around, and while he's certainly stayed true to his rebellious ways, he's also a pretty unsympathetic character now too, thanks in large part to his worsened treatment of Harold and the love triangle debacle, an incident he gets too much of a free pass on. And his development seems to have stalled completely, with his self-discovery story in TDAS where he insisted he had not gone soft and tried to prove it after being ignored by both his exes..........It went absolutely nowhere. I don't know what that was meant to accomplish. Duncan's still a mostly consistent character, but he hasn't advanced much anywhere lately when it comes to development.

Heather however is an entirely different story. A standout villainess in TDI, she was known for her profound lack of loyalty and her skill at cheating and manipulating, and she did it all to outstanding effect. Through this she made a ton of enemies, and eventually her tendency to manipulate people to serve her own ends was what led directly to her downfall, and her loss of power in the game. Thus she was finally forced to play fair as everyone wisened up to her tactics, and while in this position was forced to try to get along with her teammates in order to survive, striking up at least a few reluctant bonds with some of them. For a while she even accepted LeShawna as a friend, and was not the one to kill that bond when things imploded. She then goes on to find romance with Alejandro even though she was hellbent on ensuring he never surpassed her or that her feelings were ever known to him or anyone else. Thus she was back to playing far more skillfully and effectively in order to stay ahead, again managing a few more reluctant bonds and eventually coming to terms with her feelings for Al............But never abandoning her old edge even as she opened up emotionally.

When it comes to development and consistency, Heather definitely takes home the million among these three.
