Chris and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Chris and Heather.

Overview
The relationship between Chris and Heather is one of the more heated conflicts between the host and one of the contestants; some of it is a result of their clashing egos. On several occasions, Chris seems to show disapproval towards some of Heather's measures for victory and for taking control of the show, yet at the same time seems to help her out in slight ways in order to keep her in the competition because of her strength as an antagonist. Likewise, Heather shows her dislike of Chris' bossy and controlling attitude on the show and particularly dislikes the fact that she is singled out by him, such as in the instances where she had to ask Chris to give her the final marshmallow during the first season. As the series progressed, the conflict has fluctuated, with many moments where the two get on each other's nerves and other times where they seem to help each other out for their own mutual goals: Heather's drive for victory and Chris' desire to keep the show as dramatic as possible.

The Big Sleep
Heather tries to suck up to Chris by telling him that he looks "really buff" in the shorts he is wearing. Later in the episode, after Chris tells the contestants that if they do not reach the finish line, they will not be allowed to eat; Heather says under her breath "I hate him so much!".

Not Quite Famous
Chris admits when Justin is chosen over Heather for elimination for that night's challenge, particularly after Heather embarrasses Gwen in front of a national audience, that the awarding of Heather the final marshmallow was completely wrong. This showed he too was against Heather surviving that week due to her prank.

I Triple Dog Dare You!
Chris laughed at Heather's misfortune throughout the episode for taking majority of the eliminated contestants' dare including licking Owen's body parts. At one point, Chris attempts to persuade Owen to make Heather eat dog food by making him use a freebie so that Heather can do the dare. After a while, Chris allows Owen to give half his freebie to Gwen to which Heather immediately protest since she believed it is against the rules. However, Chris replies that there is no rules much to Heather's annoyance. After getting her hair shaved from Lindsay's dare, Chris declared Heather eliminated since she did not fully accept the challenge as she kicked the razor out of Chef's hands at the last minute. When Chris is asked about the lack of rules by an enraged Heather, Chris jovially replies, "It's complicated," but states that she is still eliminated. Heather is taken to the Boat of Losers and leaves the island, while threatening to sue Chris for everything he has.

After Courtney and Blaineley were eliminated, Blaineley revealed a couple of things about the other contestants which included her telling Heather and Alejandro to just kiss already as they like each other.

After Chris said who won a few advantages, Heather said she should get Cody's one since he is her helper, but the dummy doesn't fit in the the stroller and breaks it which Chris finds amusing.

That night, she still believes that Chris steals the idol and votes of Alejandro due to the fact she "cannot vote for Chris."

He pounds on the confessional when the couple attempt to kiss, exclaiming that it's the "most disgusting thing that has ever happened in there." Later, Heather and Alejandro make out in what could be considered a spiteful move, as Chris is incredibly frustrated the contestants are being affectionate with each other. He announces that the helpers are now allowed to compete for the million dollars. The two immediately begin wrestling, much to the host's satisfaction.
