Heather and Owen

This article focuses on the interactions between Heather and Owen.

Overview

Heather is frequently grossed out by Owen's disgusting habits.

Heather was initially the only contestant who hated Owen and treated him poorly. During Total Drama Island, she would constantly make remarks about his disgusting habits, his overeating, and his lack of intelligence. However, the optimistic Owen treats her kindly as he does to everyone, until Heather insults his love interest Izzy in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon. This causes Owen to snap and from hereon, the conflict becomes mutual. As the two are placed on opposite teams in the next two seasons, they have minimal interaction for the rest of the series.

Total Drama Island

Not So Happy Campers - Part 2

Heather tries to encourage Owen to jump off the cliff during the challenge. She is disgusted by Owen who hugs her completely naked after winning the second challenge.

The Big Sleep

"Yeah, it's called overeating; look into it."

- Heather

After Owen tires out during the twenty-kilometer run and complains of having a "condition," Heather walks by and tells him that "it's called overeating" and that he should "look into it," not caring about his exhaustion. She then walks over him and steps on his arms and head.

Dodgebrawl

Courtney gets mad at Heather during a round of dodgeball for throwing the ball at Tyler, who was not on the court. Courtney tries to eliminate her, but Owen eliminates Courtney by catching her ball. Heather is shown to be impressed by Owen's dodgeball skills during this episode.

Not Quite Famous

Owen tries out for the talent show by burping the entire alphabet in one go. Heather tells him that he won't be doing that in the talent show because it's disgusting. She is even more disgusted (and possibly scared) when Owen mentions that he can fart to the tune of Beethoven's 5th, but she immediately stops him before he can do it.

The Sucky Outdoors

Heather is very disgusted when Owen vomits.

Owen begins bragging about his and his grandfather's past experience with a bear, claiming that they encountered one when a bear terrorized the campers, and Heather blames Owen for luring the bear to them by imitating its growl. Later, it is revealed that the bear was Izzy in disguise, playing a prank on the campers. Unfortunately, a real bear comes, and Heather once again blames Owen. The next morning, both teams realize that they have survived the challenge of spending the night in the woods. As both teams rush back to the Total Drama Island campsite, some of the Killer Bass make it to Chris before the Screaming Gophers do. Heather blames Owen for her team's supposed defeat, and then pushes him to the ground in anger. When Owen vomits in the hot tub during the Gophers' celebration, Heather calls him gross.

Up the Creek

Heather becomes Owen's reluctant paddling partner.

The goal of the challenge for the contestants in this episode is to take a navy field trip to Boney Island, portage their canoes, and make it back to the campsites before the other team. Everyone on each team pairs or gets into groups of three, everyone except Heather, who has to pair up with the only person left. When Owen approaches Heather, she gives him a dirty look. When they are in the canoe, Owen keeps rocking it, much to Heather's chagrin, causing her to hit him with an oar.

If You Can't Take The Heat...

Heather forces Owen to get her makeup bag from the Gopher Cabin.

Heather partially blames Owen for their progress in the challenge. She had sent Owen to get oranges for the challenge dinner. When he throws them at an unprepared Trent, they hit him in the face and knock him out of the challenge. While retrieving the oranges, Owen encounters some bees who quickly become his enemies. In a later turn of events, Heather needs her makeup bag for her eyebrow pencil to draw new eyebrows. Owen is afraid to go out again because of the bees, but Heather makes him go. When Owen eats the ribs that were supposed to be the main course of the dinner, Heather partially blames him for them losing the challenge. However, she does not vote him out that night, instead voting for Beth.

Basic Straining

During the final challenge, Heather becomes nauseous when Owen farts, causing her to fall out of the tree and the challenge. However, she is then crushed by Owen as she falls out of the tree. Heather insults him by calling him an ox (in reference to his weight).

X-Treme Torture

Heather forces Owen into contributing to their soon-to-be challenge win.

Heather calls Owen a "marshmallow-eating goof" when he complains about the shower reward of this episode's challenge. After being threatened by her, Owen begins to choke on a marshmallow, causing Heather to run away. When Harold saves his life, Owen spits out the marshmallow and accidentally hits Heather with it.

Hide and Be Sneaky

A flashback reveals that while Owen and DJ were waiting for the girls outside the bathroom, Heather and Leshawna started a catfight that the boys overheard. They were amused at first, but when things got physical between the girls, they left in fear. During the challenge, Heather finds Owen and DJ hiding on the roof of the main lodge and alerts Chef Hatchet to their location, ensuring her safety for the second time in a row. When Heather learns of the guys' alliance, she thinks the girls should vote together and supports the idea of voting out Owen, calling him weird. She gets Lindsay's support to vote for him.

That's Off the Chain!

Owen is upset by Heather's betrayal of Lindsay and joins everyone in laughing at her when Lindsay swears at her.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild!

During a confessional, Heather assumes that she is the favorite to win the season because of the remaining people on the island. As she names them and gives them insulting nicknames, she calls Owen "Fart Machine".

Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon

After Heather repeatedly insults his love interest, Owen begins to hate her.

Heather and Owen are paired up against the teams of Gwen and Geoff, and Duncan and Leshawna. Unlike the other teams, the two of them cooperate well. They won the first challenge when Heather stuffs all of the food in Owen's face. Heather tries to act nice, showing affection towards Owen and telling him how great they are as a team. This friendliness doesn't last long when Owen needs some "teamwork" in the bathroom and asks Heather how good she is with toilet paper. Owen runs all the way to the bathroom, farting with every step, dragging Heather into each fart on the ground. Heather then calls Owen revolting afterward and says that, if she could, she'd file a restraining order against him. During the second challenge, Heather helped Owen push the canoe by telling him it is a truck full of donuts. During the canoe trip, Heather says she doesn't care what Owen is saying, while trying to avoid hurting his feelings. They also cooperated well when Owen agreed to carry Heather through Boney Island on his back.

During the third challenge, the campers are to rearrange wooden heads of the other campers in which they were eliminated. At first Owen screams and although it's unclear why, Heather presumes it's because of the wooden head of Eva, telling him to relax, but is disgusted when she see's there are two Eva's. When Owen finds Justin's head and begins talking about how he is "smoking hot" and about his "chiseled features," Heather becomes freaked out at his actions. Later, Heather finds Izzy's wooden head in the pile, and begins to talk negatively about Izzy, calling her crazy and a threat to sane people. Owen angrily asks her to stop talking about Izzy since they have a "very" good relationship. When Heather continues to talk about her, Owen becomes furious and almost eliminates them from the challenge by dragging Heather to Chris in order to get the wimp key. They never make it, though, because Duncan and Leshawna had already won. After the challenge, in the confessional, the "ever-so-happy" Owen (with Heather still handcuffed to him) finally snaps and viciously curses at Heather about her ways with everyone. However Heather isn't offended, saying it actually made her respect him more, but also tells him never to do it again.

Heather and Owen finish up the "spoon-feeding" challenge.

Camp Castaways

When Gwen suggests they throw something big and chewy to distract the shark, Heather calls for Owen. With Owen absent, Heather steals some of the candy from his hidden stash. Later, a disillusioned Owen, dressed as a wild man, appears before Heather, scaring her. Heather attempts to fight back by throwing several objects at him but upon realizing who he is, she scolds him for scaring her. When Owen start dancing, Heather shuts him up by shoving a banana into his mouth.

Are We There Yeti?

Throughout the episode, Heather teams up with Gwen to pull several pranks on Owen and Duncan in order to get a lead in the challenge.

I Triple Dog Dare You!

In the confessional, Heather lists off a series of insults about Owen, particularly about his weight. Most of the dares that Heather had to do were in relation to Owen's body: first, licking his armpit by Duncan, then eating grape jelly inside his belly button by Tyler and finally, licking his toe jam by Harold, the latter she escapes by using her freebie. As Owen tries to apologize for her having to lick his body parts, Heather repeatedly tells Owen to shut up, even slapping him. Later, Gwen and Owen team up against Heather to get her eliminated, and ultimately they succeed at doing it. Owen and Gwen were so ecstatic that they got up and cheered when she lost. In the end, Owen cheerfully waves goodbye when she departs.

The Very Last Episode, Really!

Heather scolding Owen for taking his time during the finale.

Because of her bigger hatred for Gwen, Heather is among those who support Owen from the beginning. She goes through great lengths to ensure Gwen's defeat by helping Owen several times. Despite being his supporter, Heather also scolds him whenever he is taking his time. Some of Heather's plans to sabotage Gwen also end up backfiring. She uses Justin to charm Gwen, only for Owen to be affected as well. In addition, the laxative-filled cupcake she made for Gwen was eaten by Owen instead, forcing him to use the toilet during the middle of the challenge.
