Alejandro and Heather



This article is about the conflict and mutual attraction between Heather and Alejandro, starting from the last episode of Total Drama Action. While most of the girls are smitten with Alejandro, Heather seems fully aware that he's playing them. There are, however, several hints in certain episodes that imply a romantic relationship between the two. He often compliments and flirts with her, while Heather often responds by expressing her disgust with him. However, as the season gets closer to its end, Heather starts falling for Alejandro.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
Heather was mad at Alejandro in the episode because she thought he replaced her and all her fellow contestants on Total Drama because of "Total Drama Dirtbags". Their first one-on-one interaction was during the climactic high-speed bus chase scene, when Alejandro told her that she'd regret messing with him. She replied with a laugh, saying, "You messed with the wrong reality show cast, mister!"

Theme Song
In the theme song, Alejandro helped Heather up on the Statue of Liberty, grinning and flashing his teeth at her, but she simply glared at him.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1
In the confessional, Heather stated that she could see right through Alejandro and his "tactics".

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
Heather seemed to be falling for Alejandro during the episode, as seen by her confessional comments. An example was when she called him "perfect", which she regretted saying after asking herself what Alejandro's deal is. Alejandro also blew a kiss at Heather, in response to her sticking her tongue out at him. Heather seemed to be somewhat shocked and slightly flattered by this, but quickly got a hold of herself and ignored him.

Broadway, Baby!
Alejandro admitted in the confessional that Heather was "good", when he realized her plan to align with Sierra, Chris's "pet" at the time. When the boats belonging to Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and Team Victory flied out of the sewer pipe and landed in Central Park, Alejandro realized that Team Amazon was still missing. With a genuine look of fear and concern on his face, he worriedly asked where Heather's boat was. Moments after, Heather and the rest of Team Amazon emerged from the same pipe. Later, after Heather realized that Alejandro had been messing with Sierra's head, she switched Alejandro's baby carriage that contained Noah in it with an actual baby carriage containing a real baby. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot ended up making it to the finish line but realized what Heather had done, thus they had to run back and swap the babies again in order to regain Noah. When the team returned, however, they realized that they had lost and Heather's team had already won. Alejandro nodded his head at Heather, acknowledging that her plan was a good one. However, once it was announced that the challenge was an award challenge, Heather became angry, and even more so when Alejandro blew her a kiss.

Slap Slap Revolution
When LeShawna accused Heather of being jealous because Alejandro was paying more attention to her than Heather, Heather insisted that she disliked him. Throughout the episode, Heather was visibly upset to see Alejandro flirting with LeShawna. When LeShawna beat her up at the end of the episode, Alejandro was very concerned and purposely lost the challenge to make sure that she was alright. In Heather's final confessional, she started to compliment him, before cutting herself off mid-sentence. Towards the end of the episode, Heather demanded to know why he took a dive, though Alejandro avoided the question by flirting with her again.

The Am-AH-Zon Race
There was not much interaction between the two until towards the end of the episode, when Team Amazon was at their very first elimination ceremony. Alejandro sneaked up to Heather, who was sitting at the very end of the bleachers and away from the others, and tried to cheer her up with fake sympathy, stating that the game would be so much easier for him after her departure. Heather, unfazed by the insult, revealed that she knew fully well that Alejandro played LeShawna and possibly Bridgette. She then threatened him, stating that he was lucky that he didn't attempt to fool her. Alejandro then smugly replied by telling her that, with the temptation of a kiss, even she couldn't resist him forever. Both parties leaned closer to each other, and Heather angrily told Alejandro that she would have crushed him. Alejandro was taken aback by Heather's comment, but before he could speak further, Chris began the ceremony and Alejandro vanished. Later, after Heather was saved from elimination due to the ceremony being proven a fake, she stated in the confessional that, after making her teammates pay for their attempt to vote her off, she would crush Alejandro for dessert.

Can't Help Falling in Louvre
At the episode's beginning, both Heather and Alejandro were sitting in the economy-class section with their teammates. Heather sarcastically asked Alejandro if he was having trouble controlling his team, in order to irritate him. He smugly called her attempt to anger him "cute". Heather replied by stating that her team was strong and never got distracted by boys. Alejandro then smirked, pointing to Sierra, who was on the floor crying over Cody and eating straight from an ice cream tub. Heather angrily dragged Sierra out of the room after demanding that she "got it together".

Newf Kids on the Rock
At the beginning at the episode Courtney stated that if she didn't know better, she would have thought that Heather liked Alejandro. Both she and Gwen made fun of Heather by stating that she was "in love", and Heather insisted that she wasn't. After, Heather was lurking around in the vents to gather information and see if Alejandro's team was trying to make an alliance with DJ, who was the only remaining member on his team. She accidentally fell out of the vent system when DJ had announced that he was purposely going to lose the next challenge to eliminate himself, and Alejandro teased her by asking if she was spying on them. Heather denied the accusation and covered it up by stating that she had merely dropped her pen. Later on, Heather gave DJ a cushion so he wouldn't drown, and asked him for an alliance afterwards. Alejandro was shocked, and asked Heather why she was asking him now. Heather replied by calling him jealous, but Alejandro merely said that she would have asked for an alliance before giving him the cushion, as a form of bribery. Heather realized her mistake and in the confessional, she stated that Alejandro was "good" and let out a romantic sigh. However, she quickly noticed what she had done and demanded that she got the tape back, not wanting her feelings for Alejandro to be seen. After Heather did not object to Courtney's plan, Gwen stated in the confessional that Heather shouldn't let her "obvious crush" on Alejandro get in the way of the game. Then, when Heather got DJ to the second part of the challenge before anyone else, Alejandro complimented her, calling her "ambitious one".

Jamaica Me Sweat
In economy class, Heather complained about Alejandro and how he was probably making DJ feel welcome in first class. She then called him a jerk. During the challenge, right before Heather took a dive into the water, Alejandro complimented her perfect diving form. This caused Heather to lose focus and land hard on the water. He apologized in a teasing tone, and she growled back at him as her body sunk into the water. When Alejandro saved Gwen from the eels and took the gold from her, Heather ran up to him and snatched it back, causing him to yell in surprise and Heather to apologize in the same manner, in the same teasing tone. Unlike Heather's reaction, Alejandro stated that he deserved it, smiling. Heather later on smirked at Alejandro and asked him how it felt to be "toast". Alejandro retorted by stating that he didn't know, as he hadn't been "toasted" yet.

I See London...
At the beginning of the episode, Heather noticed that Alejandro was missing. After Chris announced he was caught by Jack the Ripper, Heather asked Courtney and Gwen if they thought he was okay, showing concern over his disappearance. However, she quickly added that his absence would be good for the team, covering up what she had said earlier. She then asked if they should try and find him, but Gwen and Courtney just laughed the idea off. At the end of the episode, when Chris announced that Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot was going to their first elimination ceremony, Alejandro and Heather were seen smiling at each other.

Greece's Pieces
After Chris leaves the room, Alejandro and Heather start taunting each other while Duncan and Gwen were giving the other loving stares. When Heather slaps her forehead after Sierra attacks Courtney, Alejandro taunts her team. In the middle of the episode, Chris states Alejandro and Heather have not yet competed so they must compete against each other in a hurdles race. Heather gives Alejandro a taunting smile saying she's very flexible but then he proves that he's much more flexible in a taunting manner by doing the splits then tying his hair in a ponytail with his feet. As they compete, Alejandro taunts Heather during the race while Heather gives him small vexing looks until Alejandro loses and Heather cheers for winning the hurdles race.

Picnic at Hanging Rock
While being in Economy class, Owen comments casually to Alejandro about being in a crush with Heather as an opportunity to send her home like he did with Bridgette and Leshawna. Alejandro doesn't deny the fact of Heather and him because he instead had to convince Duncan about his innocent role in those eliminations, which leads them to discuss about how to make Heather jealous by seducing Courtney and make them fight. Heather is clearly annoyed by Alejandro flirting with Courtney throughout the episode, but she catches the trick and gets revenge by flirting with Duncan. Courtney asks Heather if there's anything going on between her and Alejandro and she quickly denies it, but is visibly upset by the idea of Alejandro flirting with Courtney. Alejandro is shown in the confessional talking about Heather once he witnesses this, stating that she's never used flirtation before, but reassures himself by saying that she didn't have true passion in her eyes when she did it, but then doubtfully questions this. Once Heather helps Duncan up and flirts with him again, Alejandro is visibly upset as he gasps in surprise before quickly turning his head the other way and focus on the game and seducing Courtney.

Sweden Sour
At the beginning of the episode, Heather is jealous of Alejandro's flirting with Courtney and tries to get his attention by saying that she must've accidentally sat in gum, thus trying to get him to stare at her butt. However, Sierra ruins this by repeatedly telling her that there is no gum, obviously not getting the hint. When Owen and Duncan were talking in the winner's cabin about Alejandro, Owen said Noah told him that Alejandro was "totally into Heather", and, in fact, a male version of Heather. She stares in admiration at Alejandro after he removes his shirt during the challenge. At the very end of the episode, Heather confronts Alejandro in the cargo hold, asking what his deal is with flirting with Courtney. He tells her that it's all strategy, and the only woman he could ever look at is her. He then holds her head lovingly, leaving Heather dazed and smiling. They gaze into each other's eyes for a moment before Chris's intercom announcement of the upcoming elimination ceremony interrupts them. Alejandro then makes a confessional explaining his "plans", accidentally revealing that he actually has feelings for her, so he nervously denies it only because it's true.

Niagra Brawls
After Sierra tries to reject Alejandro for winning him as her "husband", Heather goes up to him and helps him off the ground, pairing herself with Alejandro while they both smile at each other as they walk off. While Alejandro tries to give Heather directions to get to her wedding dress, Heather complains and eventually gets there. Once she does, she complains that he did not give her good directions as he was not quite specific enough. After Alejandro helps Courtney get to her wedding dress, Heather complains in the confessional that Alejandro is supposed to only have one bride, meaning herself with tones of jealousy. When Chris anounces that Heather and Alejandro get a head start, Alejandro calls her "Mrs. Alejandro" while Heather calls him "Mr. Heather" in return. As they were about to cross the tight rope, Alejandro calls Heather his "better half" and Heather goes into his arms bridal style with a satisfying smile. Halfway across the rope, Heather and Alejandro fight on who to vote off next and she causes them to fall and lose the challenge, though Alejandro did it on purpose.
