Heather X Alejandro: When Villains Fall in Love 

Alejandro was definitely one of the highlights of World Tour as Gwen, Duncan and Courtney were falling from grace. Heather still remained entertaining and Alejandro was an absolute hottie.

"You can't let the bad guy win!" Heather: "You mean I'm the good guy?" Such a powerful moment when you're a kid, watching Heather go from nasty in S1 to tolerable in S3

“A road to a girl’s heart is a long one, but chocolates are shortcuts” is such a hilariously good line

These two were the villain couple of my childhood. I especially love that Alejandro isn't a copy of Heather and, in some cases, is better (in terms of effectiveness) than her.

Crazy how Heather, a girl we rooted against due to being such a jerk to characters like Gwen, ended better off than anybody else when it came to relationships

Heather is the only gaslight gatekeep girl boss allowed. She works because we aren’t supposed to sympathize with her unlike some people. EDIT here’s a crazy idea why don’t you people actually HEAR OUT why I have the opinions I do. I hate actual reasons for disliking Amy and Donna it’s not because I hate women because I don’t

The best villains in the total drama series and the fact they ended up in a romantic relationship was so shocking but honestly they work so well together. I’m still so mad she never got her prize money in world tour.

Words cannot describe how happy I was when Heather won World Tour. She was a favorite in Island because I watch other reality shows, and could see (at least early on) that she was a good strategist and was playing well. She let superiority complex get in her way, and was taking unnecessary risks to tinkle in everybody's cornflakes, but I still saw her for the competent player that she was. But watching her go from the most hated player to the "good guy by default" and having everyone cheering for her was so satisfying. But either way you slice it, World Tour is the only season in which no matter how you slice it, the winner is a villain no matter what. Heather was merely the lesser of two evils.

“This is How We Will End It” is an absolute banger. That’s a fact.

Heather:PREPARE FOR TROUBLE alejandro:AND MAKE IT DOUBLE

I think Heather sees through him immediately because when you manipulate people constantly, you tend to know exactly what to look for. Also manipulation that involves building goodwill simply doesn't work on habitual backstabbers

I like how Sarcastic Chorus has taken a break from the shipping drama of other serieses he's covered to focus on the shipping drama of TDI

Heather and Alejandro are one of my all time favorite TD couples! Even if they are antagonists though nowadays it seems like antagonists finding love interest's in cartoons is a rare thing, But even villains need to find love too.

Alejandro really was like “together we can rule the world!” Like bruh you’re a teenager

I don’t care what anyone says, this was the best couple in the series. It somehow made fans want to see them both succeed and fail at the same time.

Heather and Alejandro was My Ship back in the day. I really wish we had a season of them just constantly working together. They would have been OP in the Riduculous Race.

They kinda remind me of Shirogane and Kaguya. Heather can think on her feet and is great at improvising. Meanwhile, Alejandro devises long term plans and accounts for various scenarios. Which is probably why I loved their romance so much.

“Heather’s the only person to have him figured out”. Poor Noah…

the best use of “enemies to lovers” ever.

This ship is why World Tour is my favorite, I don't care that most people hate the season. To me Heather x Alejandro more than makes up for the rest of the season's flaws

26:53 Actually, Heather was going to keep to their agreement until Sierra explained what happened to make her go after Heather, angering her enough to join Cody and Sierra in voting Al off.

Nearly fucking DIED when he called Cody "The resident Beta male".

27:20 in hindsight, you know what could have been a genius play? Heather voting herself off. Let's do the math. Sierra had immunity and legally couldn't have been voted out, had Sierra not messed up; she and Cody already agreed to vote Alejandro out; while Alejandro and Heather "agreed" to vote Cody out. This leaves Heather is a position where her vote doesn't affect the outcome at best or causes a tie between Alejandro and Cody at worst. Of course, she couldn't possibly imagine that Sierra would accidentally blow up the plane, BUT, from previous episodes where she experienced first hand, she knows that a surprise reward challenge not only will sabotage the outcome (since the only thing that decides what's a reward challenge or elimination round is Chris's whims), but that the voting can and WILL be shown to the contestant if it will stir up the pot further, *especially* since she herself BENEFITED from that very last one. With all of that in mind, the absolute best and smartest play Heather could have made in that moment, where she knows with absolute certainty who each person votes, was to vote for herself in case Chris was up to any shenanigans. That way, both her alliances stand, she didn't betray Al and while in the moment he might be confused at best as to why Heather voted herself off or slightly miffed that she didn't follow through with her vote, he'd get over it immediately afterwards as she didn't outright betray him

Aleheather will forever be one of my favourite ships. They work so well together and are comically cute in the ways they often trip over themselves trying to avoid admitting their feelings. Even when they commit to the romance, it’s so cringey it’s actually fun - which was beyond surprising to say most of All Stars tried to be funny and failed miserably - And the relationship never waters down the characters, if anything it fleshes them out. Sure they’re assholes but they’re teenage assholes, still able to fall for their own emotions and get caught up in their long winded games. There’s a lot wrong with world tour as any season when you get right down to it, but it provided one of the most refreshing villain couples I’ve ever came across; they weren’t even technically a couple until All Stars.

Alejandro and Heather’s relationship is one of the two reasons World Tour is my favorite season. The second is Noah the GOAT! Also his dynamic with Owen. So good they did it twice (Ridonculous Tour).

“I can’t explain it, which is a lie, cause I will” perfectly encapsulates this channel

The thing I like the most about Alejandro is that the character had insecurities and was allowed to very expressive. It would been so boring if the writers always tried to make him look like this manipulating pretty boy who always needed to appear to look calm and in control.

Thru out my time seeing this show as a kid, this takes the phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" to a different levels

I definitely love seeing Heather and Alejandro as a couple in Total Drama! These two villains are made for each other even though Heather is annoyed with Alejandro at first, I think these two are definitely perfect for each other. Evil Love.😁😈🖤💘

Nothing better than being awful together ❤️

After the extra extension Love Triangle plus one dynamic, I was actually wondering and awaiting whenever these two in particular would get looked upon. Crazy how their dynamic as well as the whole Love Triangle explosion happened within same season. Where the 26 episode format was able to provide several big plot devices within the same season and why most say World Tour was end of the Peak Era for the series.

Heather was ALWAYS my favorite TD character, even back in Island. I remember Alejeather being one of my very first introductions to the “enemies to lovers” trope and god I’m still obsessed.

I feel like this couple is a cautionary tale of what happens when a writer focuses to much on the journey of a ship being confirmed. A lot people like to see the journey but at the end there left with a generic couple fixated on love. This is why you have so many shows end with a couple getting together because writers don't want the auidence to see how boring a couple is when they get together.

These two deserved a whole show on their own 😂

God, for all of World Tour's faults, I still love the main plot we got with Heather and Alejandro. The fact that they managed to make Heather "the hero" without actually giving her that much of a redemption arc is so fun, and I still maintain that the World Tour final two was the best in the franchise. They were both plot relevant, had an interesting conflict with one another, and you could really see either one of them winning was absolutely peak. Island's climax was in its final three, and Gwen/Owen as a final two is actually kinda boring in comparison, while Duncan/Beth is just... so random and boring lmao.

Now imagine how cool they would look as participants in Ridonculous Race. Where there are no votes, temporary alliances, betrayals, but instead the cohesion of the couple is required from beginning to end. I would look at this

This couple altered my brain chemistry and I would go to battle for them

As someone who saw world tour before TDI, I didn't get the extent of the hatred other characters had for her and just rooted for this clever underdog

One of the rare couples on the show that had depth and actually went out with a good sense of closure. All Stars made them a little too lovey dovey for my liking in the finale but it’s still amazing for Total Drama standards.

I actually gotta say that Heather said herself that her parents did electro therapy on her to make her a nicerer person and her parents are total douches to her

Geoff and Bridgette both followed the themes of the producers rule of “Not all relationships work out” while also absolutely defying it. They formed their relationship in Island, went straight to constant second base, (Because that’s how far cartoons are allowed to go on screen) then had a huge rough patches where Geoff let greed and vanity take control of him. Then ANOTHER where Bridgette cheated on Geoff (Even though she WAS being manipulated). Then as of Ridonculous Race they were still an official couple and Geoff turns down the idea of saving a princess because he already has Bridgette. If there’s a year between Action and World Tour and a second year between World Tour and All-Stars. Those two have been canonically dating for two in-universe years, which is highly impressive.

Honestly? They're the one couple from the show that I would believe would last

world tour had some of the best writing man. the way they made you root for heather without changing her character, n even made alejandro grow on you,,

"And shit, I forgot about All Stars." Ah yes, a phrase that applies anytime the original TD cast is praised.

Alejandro and Heather were the best villains in TD, they always made it entertaining and fun.

Villans together are always so fun

I loved how they always matched the other's energy

By the time Total Drama ended originally, this was easily my favorite couple. I love a good "belligerent sexual tension." relationship! 😍❤️‍🔥

I've never watched total drama, so I am consuming it entirely through you, cos it seems like more fun.

I just realized this is where I got my love for the Enemies x Lovers trope.

I think the reason Courtney sides with Alejandro during the finale of World Tour is because she believes that they’re a couple. You have to remember that Courtney was emotionally vulnerable after her breakup with Duncan, and Alejandro almost immediately started a false seduction on her. So, what I think happened was, due to her vulnerability, she genuinely believed they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She doesn’t seem to realize that Alejandro charmed her out of the competition since she still clearly likes him even after getting voted off. Also, when Alejandro confesses his love to Heather, Courtney is the only one who doesn't react with joy or disgust. She was pouting over it because she realized that Alejandro had played her like he played Bridgette and Leshawna

Yeah, I ADORED these two as villains and as a power couple

I'm Italian and I grew up on total drama, it was huge here

I remember watching world tour and so wishing they would make these two "camp counselors", assisting chris in future seasons. It wouldve played to their strengths as villians and explore their dynamic as a couple, while adding something new to the series!

I remember loving this evil couple as a kid. I recorded the finale of TDWT for the sole purpose of watching to see which one would win & how. I like how you broke down their MOs so effectively. I wish they had been done differently in All Stars. They could have been the perfect evil power couple. I get a wicked rush imagining how horribly effective they could’ve been. Alejandro could plan out & play the long game, while Courtney could keep them alive in the day to day. 😈

Great timing considering we were robbed of a deliciously evil villain couple in Disney's Wish

from the moment the last TD video came out I was waiting for this one. They're the reason World Tour is the best season. Also, love that you used his last name

So happy they're finally getting attention!! Seriously the most underrated ship in total drama and cartoons in general

Never forget how Alejandro spent the entirety of the first episode ignoring Tyler and blatantly flirting with his girlfriend, only for Tyler to be the biggest idiot ever all season and supporting Alejandro even after he was voted off by him.

i always found it bizarre seeing a media that has a romance, have a couple that is frustrating start to end that has the attention of the show but also have that *one* couple that saves the audience to immediately leave due of the drama.

Heather and Alejandro make a better couple than any trainwreck relationship that Gwen and Duncan have ever been in 😂

HOT TAKE I prefer it when my ships aren't confirmed because I don't want writers ruining what I believe to be a great potentional couple in theory. It can sometimes get annoying when a shipper wants there ship to be confirmed so much they don't consider if they'll like how it's executed. Sometimes ships are better left in fanfiction because once something is cannon its out of a fans control.

so badly i wanna see them come to the reboot like owen and fuck up everything as a duo and then announce that they're engaged before flying away in some creative way

Female power fantasy is not getting a hot guy. It's being able to say no to a hot guy because you are just that cool.

12:05 This explains everybody and Heather's relationship in Season 3 perfectly

4:11 Ok, so this is actually kind of said in the show by Harold in the special before Action with him guessing why Heather is the way she is one of his guesses that she was fat once. Granted the show itself never confirmed it was true, but I guess Harold guessed it. I think Heather and Alejandro really cushioned the blow of the love triangle in World Tour. While Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen were in flames I at least had the toxic couple to follow and keep me interested. I gotta give the writers credit for making Heather of all people the person people were routing for and wanting to win.

NGL, I shipped them from day 1. Heather and Alejandro were so alike.

Antagonists deserve love to!

i watched tdi as a teen and didnt know about alejandro until recently when my bf and i checked out the show again, and man i was hooked immediately. heather was always my fav and i love villain couples. stuff like aleheather, chuya (chase + wu ya), etc are so peak

Thank you for this palate cleanser!! Alejandro and Heather had such an interesting dynamic and it definitely improved both of their characters imo. World Tour is such a great season largely thanks to the two of them running things.

I think we all wanted them to be evil together in All Stars,but that's what fanfiction is for. :)

Goooood am I glad to see you make a video on these two. They gotta be one of my favorite fictional couples of all time. I love the shit out of Aleheather, I have some of their dialogues memorized to the letter because I've loved to watch Aleheather Moment compilations on RU-vid since I was in middle school. And I love the way you break down fictional relationships, whether they're healthy couples, or trainwrecks. And right after watching your Total Drama Love Triangle video (which I also loved!!) I really wanted to see you talk about Aleheather, and cleanse your palette with what's gotta be the best Total Drama relationship in my eyes.

What did we do to deserve all this Total Drama content??? Loving the videos! If you’re going over all the train wreck couples, I’d like to hear your thoughts on Mike and Zoe! That is, if there’s even enough to talk about lol.

OH MY GOD I WAS HOPING YOU'D DO A VIDEO ON THEM, I WASN'T EXPECTING IT SO SOON AFTER THE 3 HOUR ONE.... I don't know what we did to deserve this but thank you for your service

LFG!!!!!!! Watching Total Drama as a kid is probably the reason why I loved the enemies to lovers trope so much for so long. Sarcastic Chorus, you have made my Saturday 2 weeks in a row. (probably more but def these past two weeks)

"So seeing them be the worst is the best time and SH#T I FORGOT ABOUT ALL STARS!" got me 🤣

They are the Justinian and Theodora of cartoon relationships.

TDWT was the most fun season in large part thanks to Alejandro and his complex relationship with Heather. Well that, and of course the songs!

this is probably the 5th time I see this video, i really like it

they were so fun to watch and also so fun to hate. Even tho they were terrible people, they still very entertaining to watch, even in all stars they were good (maybe the only good thing in that awful season) Ughhh I love them sm, as a couple and invidually as characters i'm loving your total drama videos, please never stop making them

"I hate you." "I feel exactly the same~" How I talk to the people I love. Only I don't have that hot Alejandro voice. Loved watching these two together.

Love triangle is the ship, that WT haters are bringing up Aleheather is the ship, that WT lovers are bringing up

This reminds me of recently with the Scott Pilgrim anime Julie who was the more antogonistic character on the protagonist side finally got with Gideon the most antagonistic character of the whole series and they got together and damn it doesn’t just work it soars

heather s3 is more of a redempation arc then full on villian tbh

Normally I hate enemy to lovers but this ( along with dipicifica and sometime lumity) was the exception.

I love these two. Thank you for covering them.

There is always something amazing about villain couples.

The real villain of this series is Chris

I want them to get married & have a child that is super ironic in how genuinely nice they are compared to their parents 😄

I love your breakdowns, your choice of words never fails to crack me up!

I love this couple, they are so much fun.

He made me like Heather more honestly. I forget they’re both teens sometimes 😭

Alejandro is honestly my favourite character

I Love how much of an Interesting Dynamic Heather and Alejandro they had. These Two Contradicting/Conflicting Forces made Me feel Fascinated about how they Balance Each Other out, and yet how Toxic their Behaviours are to One Another, And when Alejandro gets Hit at the Dick by Heather and getting His Comeuppance for being a Selfish Heart-Breaking JerkArse I Felt Satisfied, And also Heather Becomes a Better Person Later on TD.

I did not expect a bunch of total drama content from you but I am lovin it

I need more ships like these, they're so intriguing to watch

In her video log, Heather's parents were shown throwing a party in her absence as movers removed Heather's belongings from the house 😢

Normal couples: "i luv u bbg" "i luv u 2" Villain couples: "die" "uno reverse"

These two are part of the reason I still have hope for Shiping in Total Drama. Sure they're not perfectly healthy. But at least they're not a train wreck like Gwen & Trent, and Courtney & Duncan. (Even if I still love Courtney and Duncan together I can still admit they were a wreck)

THIS IS THE BEST COUPLE EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH
