Courtney and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Heather.

Overview
Despite being antagonists and having the same goal, Courtney and Heather do not get along well. While this conflict arises occasionally in Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action, it intensifies when they are placed on the same team during Total Drama World Tour. The duo are forced into an uneasy relationship, with their dominating natures clashing with one another and also try to fight over leadership over their team. Initially, Heather supports Courtney in order to vote Gwen off after Gwen kisses Courtney's boyfriend, Duncan (due to Heather's long conflict with Gwen). However, after Courtney's constant attempts to throw their team's challenge as well as being attracted to Heather's love interest, Alejandro, Heather starts to hate Courtney even more. As of now, the conflict has yet to be resolved, with Courtney being one of the few people supporting Alejandro over Heather in the finale.

Courtney must pull 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.

Later, when she goes back for Cody after he falls off their raft to Central Park, Heather complains that she's leading to them reaching last place. 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.
