Well maybe, but off course getting on bad terms with people might be a disadvantage for you in the end, and Gwen and Owen could team up in any other challenge the producers will create (well almost every challenge), I don't see how this is something special about this one. Even so, every challenge can be more fitting for some contestants and less for others, thinking of it, Owen had a pretty big advantage thanks to him not being digusted by much.

Plus, Gwen could also not make any alliance and everything would be equal for each contestant, but she did make one and beat Heather fair and square.

My point is, if Heather's social game is what caused her defeat, there's nothing wrong with that and it's really not the challenge's fault.
