* TheScream: Heather screams so loud over being eliminated that those at Playa Des Losers were able to hear her. They all look up in surprise (save Trent, who remains noodling on his guitar).



* SkywardScream: For the pre-finale, Heather receives a dare to have all of her hair shaved off. She doesn't actually accept it, but in self-defense kicks the razor out off Chef's hand and onto her head. The result is that she's out of the game and she's bald anyway. She's seated in the barber chair when she's informed of this and she reacts by raising her fists and screaming her lungs out.

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Gwen theorizes that Heather's massive ego will be her downfall. She turns out to be exactly right; it was Heather's refusal to shave her head and tarnish her beauty that got her kicked out.
** Early in the episode, Heather is repeatedly shown fretting over her appearance (applying blush, stroking her hair, etc) in the confessionals. This builds up towards the climax, where it was Heather's vanity that caused her to lose the game.



** As Owen chews Harold's pre-chewed gum, he states that it has a "crunchy center", and the camera zooms in on Harold's photo, which has him picking his nose, heavily implying that the "crunchy center" is a dried out booger.

** 3.) The one who dares her to cut off her hair is [[BewareTheNiceOnes none other than Lindsay]], whom Heather threatened to cut the hair off of while she slept back in "If You Can't Take the Heat..."
** 4.) Heather repeatedly committed despicable acts but ultimately got away with it. When she's ultimately forced into a situation that gives her absolutely no wiggle room, her attempt to invoke her kicking the razor as not really a refusal doesn't work and she's ''finally'' eliminated from the competition.
** 5.) Heather repeatedly showed a reckless side throughout the season by committing actions out of spite that cost her team challenges and threatened to backfire multiple times throughout the season, only for someone else to get voted off the show (or something else to happen that prevented Heather from being eliminated). When Heather ends up using the one freebie that she managed to earn throughout the entire challenge to get out of what proved to be a (relatively) minor dare, she's left with no other option to get out of the dare that requires her to get her head shaved.

** 3.) The one who dares her to cut off her hair is [[BewareTheNiceOnes none other than Lindsay]], whom Heather wasn't exactly nice to anyone throughout the season, so the fact that she gets bombarded by former campers dares could be seen as ''everyone'' getting back at her.
** 4.) However, the fact that the dare that took her down was created by ''Lindsay'' (the person who Heather easily manipulated and mistreated the most) is what really seals it. Heather also
threatened to cut the her hair off of while she slept back in "If You Can't Take the Heat..."

* RuleOfSymbolism: Heather having to accept so many dares all from former cast members can easily be interpreted as ''everyone'' getting back at her. The fact that ''Lindsay's'' dare was what took her down (when Lindsay was easily the person she mistreated the most) is what takes the cake.

* DisasterDominoes: The circumstances leading to Heather's elimination. Heather uses her one freebie early on. After that, Owen and Gwen eventually get ten freebies each, and they gang up on Heather. Heather has to accept all of Gwen and Owen's dares. Whenever it's her turn, she tries to chip away at Owen and Gwen's freebies, but this means she's left with zero freebies for herself. Heather is then dared to have her head shaved by Chef, but at the last second, she kicks the razor out of Chef's hands. The razor falls on her head and shaves her hair off. Since she technically did not ''agree'' to do the dare, she is eliminated, being left with stuck with the worst of each world of having done the most dares, becoming bald, ''and'' getting kicked out of the game.
