Harold and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Harold and Heather.

Overview
The two had mixed interactions throughout the entire series ever since Total Drama Island.

In Total Drama Island, the two had minimal interaction due to being placed on separate teams. Though Harold appeared to hold negative contact with Heather early on, their first true major interaction involves Heather unintentionally leading to Harold's elimination in X-Treme Torture due to a wardrobe malfunction in a challenge they were forced to do together. After the season had ended, they ultimately worked together in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island when Harold teamed up with Heather, even though she looked as though she didn't really like the idea.

In Total Drama Action, both members were placed together on the Screaming Gaffers, where they had many moments where they couldn't stand each other as well as moments of pure friendship. Harold, among others on the team, was considered annoyed by Heather's bossiness, while Heather considered Harold nothing more than an annoying geek. But unlike the others, the duo did appear to get along with one another, with Harold being one of the few on the Gaffers Heather actually appeared to be friendly with.

In Total Drama World Tour, the two had a minimal amount of interaction due to Harold's early elimination and Heather lasting to win the season. However, their friendship did become key in the final stage of the season: after Cody's elimination in Hawaiian Punch, Harold chooses to side with Heather and help her in the final challenge to achieve victory over Alejandro, whom he, among many others, had a greater conflict with.

Not Quite Famous
Harold let Gwen use his red ant farm to get back at Heather for reading her diary out loud on national television. However, he was never actually told what Gwen would do with it, nor was he aware of the effect that it would have on Heather.

Paintball Deer Hunter
When Bridgette feels that she can't play paintball because she doesn't approve of hunting, Harold specifically reminds Bridgette that she could hit Heather with a paintball, after which they both grin deviously. When finding Heather and several other Screaming Gophers out in the open due to a massive argument with each other, Harold joins with Bridgette and Geoff in taking all of them down.

X-Treme Torture
During the final challenge, the campers were to water-ski in mud to collect flags and reach the finish line. The flag-catcher was designated to be driven by a member of the opposing team, meaning Heather would jet ski Harold as he collected flags. Before and during the challenge, she called him "Alpha geek," "dorkwad," and "guppy." Despite Heather trying to make it difficult for Harold to catch his flags, he ends up catching them all and Heather is forced to cross the finish line and allow the Killer Bass to win.

Not allowing this to happen, Heather plotted to cut the rope tied to the jet ski to render Harold stranded and therefore fail the challenge. This idea backfired, in a way. A wayward tree branch rips Heather's top off while she is about to cut the rope, leading to Heather exposing her breasts to Harold and the entire viewing world, which naturally mesmerizes him to the point that he crashes into a rock, losing all of the flags and the challenge, which ultimately causes him to get voted off the island. He repeats the word "boobies" over and over for most of the challenge. That evening, Chris comments how Harold bailed big. After Harold is eliminated, he reveals that he was the one who wrote the love notes to Leshawna and he had a crush on her, not before reminiscing about seeing Heather's breasts over and over. After this, Heather calls Harold a dweeb, saying the incident was a fluke. This explanation did not work for Leshawna, who began to chase her off into the night.

Haute Camp-ture
Harold says Heather was the scariest female on the island, but that he could take her (most likely because of the aforementioned incident in X-Treme Torture) just before Courtney beat him senseless with a lamppost.

Are We There Yeti?
After Duncan takes the Dock of Shame, in the Confession Cam, Heather said that she feels Courtney's hatred towards Harold, because she didn't have to be eliminated like that.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Initially, Heather rejected Harold's offer to become partners, but when it turned out that there was no one else left for Heather to partner with, she recruited Harold only on the condition that he would not talk to her. She was militant about this rule, often shutting him up once he started talking. Once Harold and Heather managed to steal the case from Owen, Cody, Tyler, and DJ. Heather hit Harold in the groin with the case and took off on his hand glider by herself, effectively breaking their alliance, but while in mid-air, the glider falls apart and Heather falls head-first into a beaver dam. Harold just looks down in disappointment, saying the hand glider was not his best work (rather than showing any concern for Heather's well being).

After reconvening at the river with Harold on a canoe, Harold only allowed Heather to rejoin him for a 60-40 split on the money, saying that without his help, the beavers would be back for her soon. After he asked Heather if they could become friends after this adventure, Heather assured him they would, but quickly looks to the camera that indicates that she was not sincere. When Leshawna nearly ran them both over with an ATV straight into the water, Harold found it "awesome."

Alien Resurr-eggtion
As there were limited paths to take in the alien egg challenge, Heather was with most of the group, much to their chagrin. When it came down to herself, Harold, Owen, and Izzy, Heather proposed they follow her to their intended goal. Everyone is hesitant at first, and Izzy reminds Heather that they dislike her, so Heather clarified that they follow her with no intention of forming an alliance and simply reaching their intended goal. Only when Heather worded it this way did Harold agree to join here. He also was immediately eliminated afterwards.

Riot On Set
When Harold agrees with Heather about her idea of passing the film equipment like batons, Heather responds by telling Harold to jump in a lake and then calling him "Trout lips." After Harold's acts of chivalry in helping Heather after some mishaps on the stage, Heather states in the confessional that Harold would be an easy person to form an alliance with. Judging by how she has treated her former alliance-mates and knowing that Harold is smitten with Leshawna, who is a mortal enemy of hers, chances are this alliance would be as controversial as Heather's previous alliance. When the Screaming Gaffers try to pick a person to play a "tough guy" for their act, Heather states that Harold is as tough as butter.

Beach Blanket Bogus
When Harold prides himself on his buttocks, he says he has to appease his lady fans as an excuse for not participating in the surfboard challenge. After he says this, Heather says out loud that when Harold refers to his "lady fans," he really means his mother.

Masters of Disasters
In the beginning of the episode when Harold is explaining how he had a kidney swap surgery as a child, he adds that he is a rare case, but and Heather then adds that he sure is a "rare case" in a different way then Harold meant.

Full Metal Drama
Heather laughs at Harold, along with the rest of the Gaffers, when Duncan mocks him and invokes pain upon him with Harold's "Num-Yos." She also said he was a chem nerd.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine
When Heather calls Harold a nerd, he blows a raspberry at her. Also, they fight three times on how to open up the vault Leshawna was held captive in. They first argued over how to open it which resulted in the both of them getting into a slap fight. Then, Heather fought with Harold by grabbing him in the head and him reaching her mouth. And when Heather thinks about combinations that would be important to Chris and would probably open the safe, Harold imitates a game show buzzer each time she guesses wrong and Heather orders him to stop. They later called each other pathetic when Heather tries to pick the lock with a bobby pin, and continued fighting until the Killer Grips freed Owen before they could, at which point Duncan tells them both that continuing to try to free Leshawna would be an even greater waste of time, since they didn't need her or the props stashed in the safe to rob a bank. When Duncan starts to break Harolds deodorant, Heather says that "There are limits.", which could've meant that Harold would smell disgusting without his deodorant. When Duncan crashed the get-away kart through a clothing rack, Heather laughed with Duncan at Harold when he turns out to have accidentally put on a bra on his chest.

Million Dollar Babies
Harold votes Heather off in this episode along with Duncan after Leshawna, who made some rude comments about all of the other contestants coming from Courtney's PDA, made an apology cheer. Though Harold did have his friendship with Heather, it was being a "victim of love" that ultimately made him choose Leshawna over her in the final vote.

Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water
In a video showing Harold's time during Total Drama Island, there is footage of various moments where Heather was seen to not stand him: she knees him in the groin as he talks trivia about crickets and is later seen holding a metallic baseball bat and glaring at him. However, the video is footage taken early in their stay on the island, before any real development between the two of them has occurred.

Hawaiian Style
When the eliminated contestants and those who did not compete at all this season had to choose who they would root for, Harold was on Cody's side, calling him the "only good guy left." This confirms that Harold still sees Heather as an antagonist despite her struggles to prove otherwise.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
When the cast begins to split up into teams, all of the campers find partners except for both Heather and Harold. At first, Heather refuses to team up with Harold, but as she became so desperate for a partner, she reluctantly agrees to take him along with her. Harold manages to steal away the brief case from Owen, Tyler, DJ, and Cody, which Heather is impressed by. After being betrayed by her, Harold rows next to Heather in a canoe, who is once again alone and tells him to go away. Harold says that Heather does not need to be so mean, which is why no one wanted to partner with her. Heather tearfully admits to Harold that she never wanted to be the person everyone hates, and Harold seems to empathize with her. He offers her a ride back to camp, due to the fact that the beavers which attacked her earlier are still out to get her, and wonders if the two will be friends after the show is over. Heather said that would definitely be the case, but her gestures afterward are questionable. After being chased into the lake by Leshawna, Harold is seen helping Heather out of the water, only to be knocked back into the lake just in time to qualify for Total Drama Action.

Riot On Set
When Heather says they should pass the film equipment up like batons, Gwen remarks how if Heather says it, they would not do it. Harold, however, agrees with Heather saying it is a good idea and that she should bring up her ideas at the next team meeting, where he will second her. Despite this, Heather calls him "trout lips" and tells him to jump in a lake. Later, Heather's foot is trapped in a light cord, hanging her upside down, she yells for help, and Harold arrives calling her "M'Lady" and helps her down, to which Heather weakly mutters thanks. In a confessional shortly after, Harold admits that he's been working on his courting skills, while Heather admits that Harold would be an easy person to string along into a alliance.

The Chefshank Redemption
Harold reveals he's slightly attracted to Gwen and begs that neither Leshawna or Heather or Gwen find out. This proves that he is willing to be friends with Heather (or may have a crush on her), adding that Harold is the camper Heather dislikes the least.

The Sand Witch Project
When Harold was assisting Heather in the illusion of a 'Ghost Rent-a-Cop,' he referred to her as his charming assistant.

Full Metal Drama
Heather helps Harold comfort Leshawna while she's bloating.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine
Although this episode was mainly about the Gaffers not getting along, Harold and Heather had a few good interactions. After Heather insults Leshawna's hair, "You could write a tell-all book about her hair, called 'Weave Got Problems'," Leshawna asks if anyone is going to argue against Heather. Harold chooses not to, saying, "Sounds like an interesting read." Duncan refers to them as the H-bombs seeing them as a pair. She also stops Duncan from destroying Harold's deodorant on the grounds that "there are limits."

Million Dollar Babies
Harold cheers for Heather when she is facing Beth in the badminton competition.

The Aftermath: III
In a never before seen clip, Heather is shown to admire Harold's skills with his num-yos, practicing to use them behind the scenes, albeit failing at it. Heather quickly claims the footage isn't real.

2008: A Space Owen
Harold shows worry that he would upset Heather, as well as Leshawna, if he were to date Beth. Harold also mentions that he is "playing the field," implying that he has had romantic relations with both Heather and Leshawna.

Hawaiian Punch
Although he only joins because he is still a member of Team Cody, Harold is selected by Heather to help her create an effigy of Alejandro. In Versus, he sings in favor of Heather and mentions that she will put Alejandro through a shredder. As one of Heather's helpers, he continues to support her on her way up the volcano, defending Heather against Courtney and Lindsay trying to release booby traps. Harold then cheers for Heather along with the rest of the contestants when she knees Alejandro in the groin and wins Total Drama World Tour.
