Courtney and Heather

The Courtney-Heather Conflict is about the major conflict between Courtney and Heather. This is a part of Team Amazon's main conflict, along with Courtney-Gwen Conflict and Gwen-Heather Conflict. This is one of the four heated conflicts, along with the Duncan-Harold Conflict, Gwen-Heather Conflict and Heather-LeShawna Conflict.

Overview
Although both were strong leaders for respective teams during the first season, the two had limited interaction in the first two seasons whether due to separate teams or a limited period when both were on the show together. However, both of their placements on Team Amazon during Total Drama World Tour forced the duo into an uneasy relationship, with both of their leading, dominating natures clashing often with one another. Courtney became a further nuisance towards Heather as the game continued to go on, particularly after she begins throwing challenges to remove Gwen after she kissed Duncan and, starting from Picnic at Hanging Dork, Courtney began being pursued by Alejandro making Heather even more jealous. The conflict has yet to be resolved by the end of the season, with Courtney one of the few not supporting Heather in her victory in TDWT.

Courtney attempts to fling a spoonful of oatmeal at Heather in response, but she steps aside so that the oatmeal hits Gwen instead. Later on, during the game, Heather continues to mock the opposing team while they had the upper hand, with Courtney assuring her that the game was not over yet. She is also angry when Heather purposely throws a ball at Tyler, who isn't even an active player on the court at the time. Courtney immediately complains to Chef Hatchet, who referees the game, about it. However, Heather gets away with the incident by saying it was a mistake. Courtney almost hits Heather with a ball after, though Heather is saved by Owen, who catches it first.

Heather tells Bridgette her team will go down because she had to go and sabotage Courtney by breaking her violin on purpose. Courtney is angered by this knowing it was not Bridgette's intention.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
When both Courtney and Heather arrive first for the sled challenge, Chris makes Courtney the "dog" even though she and Heather arrived first. When Courtney tries to convince him that Heather arrived at the same exact time she did and he was doing it alphabetically, Heather comments that "she didn't invent the alphabet", forcing her at the mercy of Heather'w whipping. Courtney must pull on a sled with the rest of her team on it to get them to the finish line and Heather constantly whips her, using the excuse that "it makes her go faster", which greatly angers Courtney. In the confessional when she complains at Heather actually whipping her with a whip, Courtney states that when the time comes, Heather is going to get it. By the end of the episode when Team Amazon ends up in second place, Heather complains that they lost "despite all her hard work" when she, in fact, did nothing, which is met with furious glares from all her teammates, but especially from an infuriated Courtney.

Broadway, Baby!
Courtney and Gwen conspire against Heather, deciding that if they lose the challenge, they would vote off Heather. Courtney, however, mockingly states that they should "whip her off," which Heather makes fun off in the confessional, and states that they would not vote her off if she proved how valuable she was. However, they do not get around to doing so in the episode, as it ends up being a non-elimination reward challenge, and Team Amazon wins. Later on, Courtney is hesitant towards Heather opening the final apple, and even tries to stop Heather before she throws the meat grinder found inside it off the plane, to no avail.

During the song, Courtney says she will do a jig once Heather is out of the game. After Chris explains the first challenge, Courtney constantly reminds Heather of how they could have used the meat grinder (received in the previous episode) in that challenge, poking Heather in the chest with her (index) finger and calling her a "self-involved, lazy, useless, formerly bald dimwit" in the process. They both growled at each other. When Heather was complaining during the challenge, Courtney, along with her other teammates told her to shut it.

When Courtney and Heather are about to start their turn in the bobsled competition, Heather worriedly asks Courtney if her lawyers would make sure the show's contracts don't allow Chris to kill them.

I See London...
When Heather asks if someone should search for Alejandro, Courtney ignores her plea and says that Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot can look for him on their own.

During Shear the Sheep, Heather confronts Courtney about her actions both on losing and Alejandro; Courtney states that Heather lost her chance at Alejandro and that she should have a chance at him, while Heather tries to warn Courtney to stay on track and win the challenge. Ultimately, Heather agrees with Gwen to vote Courtney off, proving that winning and her anger for Courtney's actions at the moment were more important than her hate towards Gwen. In the end, Heather voted for Courtney, but a tie in the vote leads to Gwen's removal instead by tiebreaker.

Heather sees Alejandro and Courtney flirt, and becomes jealous. She states that Courtney should be at home instead of flirting with Alejandro, showing that she wanted her to lose the tiebreaker.

She thinks that Courtney is just trying to lose on purpose again. Heather continues with what she was doing and Courtney tried to stop her. They start fighting until Cody constructed a giant wooden version of Gwen's face. At the elimination ceremony, Heather tells Courtney she is going to be eliminated until Chris reveals it is a fake elimination, much to Heather's disappointment.

Later, Heather told Courtney that she wants Gwen gone too, but told her that they needed to focus on voting off the guys.

Picnic at Hanging Dork
