I know about Villain Protagonists. But with them to work, you usually need to have a Hero Antagonist. Where the audience sides with the villain as opposed to the hero. An example would be in Death Note, where Light Yagami is the Villain Protagonist, while L is the Hero antagonist. The audience was made to root for Light from the very beginning.

Anyway, while Heather did oppose Alejandro from the start. That was just two villains duking it out, as an example of Evil VS Evil. Everyone (in-universe) still hated her and thought of her as the main villain (as Alejandro was secretive). She grinned evilly in The Am-AH-Zon Race when her team failed to kick her off. Doesn't feel like the audience is meant to side with her at that point.

It's very difficult for a show like Total Drama to get Villain Protagonists, and Hero Antagonists due to the shows format. Everyone wants to win, and there's one person always out to ensure that everyone fails. Said person is the antagonist. I mean, there are heaps of villains who have been dwarfed by a greater evil (such as every former antagonist put alongside Mal in TDAS), but that doesn't automatically make them protagonists, does it?
