Heather's alliances

This article focuses on Heather's alliances which were created in Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour by Heather.

Total Drama Island
The first alliance was created by Heather in The Big Sleep. She chose Lindsay and Beth as the first official members of the alliance, due to Beth's desperation towards finding a popular friend, and Lindsay's overall lack of intelligence. Heather told them that she would take them to the final three if they obeyed her commands. She made up some rules - always do what she says, and no dating anyone on the other team (which might lead to them giving away their weaknesses), especially in the case of Lindsay's attraction to Tyler. Beth and Lindsay were excited to be in the alliance, both being oblivious to Heather's true intentions, although Beth was shown to be more aware than Lindsay, wondering what would happen when the alliance got to the final three. Lindsay thought that Heather was her best friend, even though Heather always told her what to do and treated her with very little respect. Despite Heather's bad treatment of her, Lindsay sticks by Heather's side at all times.

In Not Quite Famous, the alliance made its first major move, eliminating Justin. After the Screaming Gophers lost the challenge, Heather decided to manipulate Lindsay, Beth, Izzy, and Owen into voting for Justin to save herself, after she read Gwen's diary to the world, giving Justin the majority of votes no matter how the others voted.

Despite it seeming like Heather had complete control of the alliance, it began to fall apart in Paintball Deer Hunter, when Beth was pushed over the edge by Heather's bossiness, arguing with her about how she was being treated unfairly. She then fired a paintball at Heather, after seeing Leshawna hit her. Heather was furious, and took Lindsay's paintball gun and fired back. She gave Beth multiple chances to rejoin, but Beth flat out refused. Beth is later eliminated for cursing the Screaming Gophers in the next episode, after taking a tiki doll from Boney Island.

However, Lindsay remains an ally to Heather out of loyalty to their supposed friendship and naivety to her meanness, but soon starts thinking that Heather isn't very nice after all. After the teams were dissolved in Brunch of Disgustingness, Heather tried to get Bridgette in the alliance (which later caused a conflict), but she refused.

In the episode Search and Do Not Destroy, Izzy seemed to become a member of the alliance, often standing next to Heather and listening whenever she explained their next move to Lindsay. However, she still seemed to be a relatively minor and perhaps unwilling member, never openly voicing her support for the alliance and presumably leaving on her own will by the next episode, never again mentioning her involvement in the alliance.

In That's Off the Chain!, Heather convinced Lindsay to clear a path through the obstacles so she would win. When Lindsay lost the race and was eliminated by a technicality because of Heather, Lindsay found out that Heather was just using her this whole time, she got angry and called her a lot of bad names. After Lindsay was eliminated, the alliance was dissolved for a few episodes until Duncan joined voluntarily because he knew that he had to get on her good side. Heather eventually joined, as she needed another alliance to rely on. However, after Duncan's plan to catch the Bear for Heather goes awry, Heather is shot in the rear end with a tranquilizer dart, courtesy of Izzy. Heather then proceeds to lose the challenge and have to wash the communal bathrooms, however she gets Duncan to do it for her.

This alliance seems to have broken up after that, as it is only mentioned again in Are We There Yeti?, when Heather says that Duncan could have scored an alliance with her, but "he blew it."

Afterwards, Heather's Alliance ceased to exist. Heather was eventually eliminated in I Triple Dog Dare You! after Gwen and Owen teamed up to take Heather down, with some help from the dares submitted from the eliminated contestants.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, she is left without a partner while all the other partners and groups search for the case with a million dollars inside. Most noticeably, she tried to approach her two former alliance-mates, Lindsay and Beth, shortly after they formed a team with Ezekiel. However, they both rejected her, with Beth saying that they had enough people already, and Lindsay half-heartedly apologizing and wishing her luck anyway. She eventually teams up with Harold as he was the only one who accepted her. Heather opened up to Harold about why she is so bad, but was still somewhat disdainful towards him. However, Harold was very tolerant. The two ultimately lost the case, but both qualified to compete in Total Drama Action.

Since the conclusion of the first season, Heather found it exceedingly difficult to arrange a new alliance with her teammates, as they are all familiar with her ways and now want nothing to do with her. She attempted multiple times to convince Lindsay and Beth to rejoin her, but they have rejected her every time. As a result, Heather did not wield the influence she once had on the show. However, in Riot On Set, when Harold lets Heather down from the tangled wires, Heather states in the confessional how she believes that Harold would make an easy-to-persuade ally; however, she was never seen actually allying with him. The only elimination Heather orchestrated was in The Chefshank Redemption, where she successfully voted Gwen off the set. However, the only reason Heather was able to do this was with Harold and Leshawna's help, due to Gwen taking her claustrophobia too far and breaking a shovel over Harold's head. Gwen also voted herself off, so this was nearly just mere luck.

Heather's Alliance was not materialized again, simply because the circumstances between her and the other contestants prevented that from happening. As a result, Heather had no choice, but to actually cooperate with the people she once terrorized. She did not engage in any crooked activities or plotting against her teammates, but not without great contempt for her team. However, due to her elimination, the alliance was never established again in Total Drama Action.

Total Drama World Tour
In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Heather notes how close Alejandro and Lindsay are getting, and also remembers that Beth isn't in the season. This results in Heather's decision of wanting to start an alliance with Sierra (Mainly because she is her only option). Sierra ends up nearly getting Heather killed in the pyramid when she sets off a booby trap, but Heather reluctantly forgives her. Heather is put on Team Amazon, while Sierra ends up on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. Therefore, it was unlikely an alliance will be formed until after the merge.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, however, Heather is satisfied when her team switches Izzy for Sierra, but she didn't mention the alliance. Alejandro, however, may have noticed that Sierra would make a good alliance member and was annoyed that he lost her to Heather.

Heather told Courtney that Sierra was her "friend" in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan. However, Heather was disgusted when Courtney pointed out the fact that Sierra was going through Cody's backpack and smelling his shoes, causing the lace to go up her nose. She then coughed it out of her mouth.

In Broadway, Baby!, Heather establishes her new alliance with Sierra and may have even gotten Cody to join. Sierra reveals in the confessional that she knows Heather is using her and explains that she herself is using Heather for her own advantage.

In the confessional towards the beginning of Slap Slap Revolution, Sierra said that whenever she thinks Heather is using her, she makes a notch in her belt.

Throughout the remainder of the season, Heather aligns herself with several contestants, such as DJ, Alejandro, and Courtney, although her loyalties often fail within one episode.

In Saving Private Leechball, Heather attempts to take control of the team by eliminating Jo, which she decides to do by getting Gwen on her side, knowing that "where Gwen goes, Duncan follows." At the end of the episode, she is able to get Jo eliminated.

In No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition, Heather proposes an alliance with Alejandro to counter the growing friendship between Cameron and Gwen. However, in their confessionals, they revealed their true intentions to have the other eliminated. Heather's plan at first succeeds, but Alejandro uses the McLean-Brand Chris Head to save himself, subsquently eliminating Heather and ending their "alliance".
