Courtney and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Heather.

Overview
Despite Courtney and Heather being placed on opposing teams in Total Drama Island, the two have a strained relationship from almost the start of the show, and this tension only intensifies throughout Total Drama Action. It is not until the two are placed on the same team in Total Drama World Tour that they really begin to clash.

Initially, Courtney intends to join Gwen in voting Heather off, but after Gwen kisses Courtney's boyfriend Duncan, Courtney temporarily enlists Heather's help in voting Gwen off. Heather turns on Courtney when she begins attempting to throw their team's challenges and becomes involved with Heather's love interest, Alejandro.

In Total Drama All-Stars, the two don't have many interactions at first since they are placed on different teams, but as soon as Courtney moves to the Villainous Vultures, the conflict between the two starts again. However, their reunion doesn't last long as Heather is eliminated shortly after Courtney switches teams.

Courtney complains about this to Chef Hatchet but Heather feigns innocence and says it was a mistake, prompting Courtney to hurl a ball at Heather.

Eventually, Heather succeeds and snips off a small piece of Courtney's hair while she was in the confessional, and laughs crazily about it afterwards.

She pokes Heather in the chest with her finger, and calling her a "self-involved, lazy, useless, formerly bald dimwit" in the process, and they both growl at each other. When Heather was complaining during the challenge, Courtney, along with her other teammates told her to shut it. When Heather almost barfed, Courtney tells her "Less yakking, more packing," which Heather responds back stating she was being more useful than Sierra, who was using most of their meat to make a Cody statue.
