Heather is most likely the stereotypical Queen of Mean type of characters like Sharpay from High School Musical or Tina Blake from Carrie or most of the Cheerleaders from Glee. These type of characters are just born to be mean since they got the wealth/popularity to do so or they be mean just the sake of being mean. However, Heather did mention something a sad past in TDI special.

Al = Jose's bullying (probably)

In a way, CIT (TDA) = Unfair elimination + Fail to win + Fail to join TDA. Before TD unknown.
