Heather's alliances

Heather's Alliances are the alliances made throughout Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour, by Heather.

Total Drama Island
This alliance was created in The Big Sleep by Heather. The very first members of the alliance were Lindsay and Beth, due to Beth's desperation of 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 obey 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), such as Lindsay and Tyler. Beth and Lindsay were excited to be in the alliance, both being oblivious, although Beth was shown to be less oblivious than Lindsay, wondering what would happen when the alliance got to the final three. Lindsay thought that Heather was her best friend, even though she always told her what to do. Lindsay sticks by Heather's side at all times.

In Not Quite Famous, the alliance made its first major move, eliminating Justin. After losing 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.

However, in Paintball Deer Hunter, Beth was pushed over the edge by Heather's bossiness, arguing with her about how she was being treated unfairly. She then fired paintballs repeatedly at Heather, along with Leshawna. 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

However, Lindsay was dumb enough to stick with Heather, but soon starts thinking that Heather isn't that nice after all. After the teams were dissolved in Brunch of Disgustingness, Heather tried to get Bridgette in the alliance (which caused a major conflict), but she refused.

In the episode Search and Do Not Destroy, Izzy became a member of the alliance because Heather knew she would do what she says (such as in Not Quite Famous when she was convinced by Heather to vote off Justin). However, she was a relatively minor member and was nothing but a burden and after a few episodes, she acted as though she had nothing to do with the alliance so it has been assumed that she was kicked out, presumably due to Izzy's intelligence.

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 the partners and groups search for the case with a million dollars. 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.

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, she had established an alliance with Harold, the only one who thinks she can be trusted now. But even Harold's is very aware of not becoming a true member of any alliance, and in Alien Resurr-eggtion, Harold agreed to be one of her partners if it wasn't called an "alliance." 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 did 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 and managed to play fair for some time, but not without great contempt for her team. However, with her elimination, the alliance 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. 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 even may have gotten Cody to join. Sierra reveals in the confessional that she knows Heather is using her and says that Sierra 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, though her loyalties often failed within one episode.
