The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Heather Marter

Not one post?????

[QUOTE=Calinks;295730]Not one post?????[/QUOTE] She hasn't really done anything notable (sort of like on her season) so that would explain why.

If Dustin hadn't done ****, Heather would have been the most boring cast member ever. Sweet, sweet girl - but that doesn't get you airtime :)

I like how she was strategizing in the first episode. I think in the first mission she showed she has potential to be a good competitor, able to balance and was quick across the beam. She does seem like a nice girl, and physically she looks put together. I want to see something where we can get a look at just how strong she is though.

Heather is by far the most attractive woman there. I hope they give her more airtime.

I needed to see more Heather on Exes. She and Dustin had potential to be a dark horse team.

I hope she comes back if there is another Challenge. I have a feeling she and dustin will asked back bc the circumstances.

[QUOTE=Coralfan;296495]I hope she comes back if there is another Challenge. [B]I have a feeling she and dustin will asked back bc the circumstances[/B].[/QUOTE] If you mean because they need the money, probably unless Heather can find a decent production job like she seems to be looking for.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;295732]She hasn't really done anything notable (sort of like on her season) so that would explain why.[/QUOTE] I feel completely different than you guys. The only person from the Vegas season who I don't remember seeing as much due to editing was Leroy, other then sleeping with random girls and almost giving Naomi herpes or something, I don't remember him contributing anything. But for the most part I felt it was one of the only seasons where all cast members were equally interesting to me.. Didn't Heather kiss Mike which basically made for an entire episode of drama, and then after the whole Dustin and Cooke kiss she didn't waste time talking smack to all the other girls she went straight up and told Cooke off, which if you see the dailies is actually extremely ****** while Cooke twice her size stands there scared. Also she had the BEST MOMENT OF TV EVER with Nany. So I must of missed where she was "boring?" Even on this challenge, I enjoyed the breath of fresh air that she didn't cower, or idolize the vets like Sarah and Cara Maria and actually tried to strategize something, even if it was in vain. If her and Dustin had a better team of rookies to work with, like Zach or Ashley, she could have been the mastermind behind a rookie take over. I heard she is a black belt and pretty athletic and between that and her politically I could see her doing well, which is a lot more then I can say for a lot of the other girls. She is sweet but she seems to hold her ground. Unfotunately, for reality TV standards she does seem a little put together, well-spoken and a lot smarter then the other girls, so she isn't a loose cannon, but I appreciate the diversity. Maybe I don't want every girl to be a complete mess and I enjoy seeing an intelligent one. But IDK to each their own I suppose.

Heather was in the middle of quite a bit on her season and got a ton of screen time, [I]BUT[/I] I don't feel like I got to know anything about her. It was all reaction to other people and their stories. To me, she was like [strike]Derrick[/strike] Derek on Cancun--we [I]saw[/I] him a lot but no clue as to who he is ....

[QUOTE=Coralfan;296495]I hope she comes back if there is another Challenge. I have a feeling she and dustin will asked back bc the circumstances.[/QUOTE] I think it's a packaged deal with those two. They're either on a challenge together or not at all. Unless they break up, of course.

[QUOTE=Raymond21;297405]I think it's a packaged deal with those two. They're either on a challenge together or not at all. Unless they break up, of course.[/QUOTE] I don't know about that. If a couple like Danny and Melinda, who were attached at the hip, can do it. I believe they can. Plus they both seem competitive so I dont ever see them turning down a challenge.

Maybe on their season, but I believe afterwards they weren't even living together when they were married.

My guess is that Dustin wouldn't have done his first one without her due to the unknown reaction over the fratpad stuff. Now that is out of the way, I suspect he would do one without her if she were busy with something else (like a job). I think she is pursuing a 9-5, but I don't sense that about him. I could see either of them doing it solo now, but I don't expect her to keep herself in the potential cast pool any longer than necessary to pay the bills.

[QUOTE=r3iKo;297416]They're currently moving in together and both stated they would only do a Challenge if it was convenient in their time surrounding.[/QUOTE] They both are living with Heather's family in NJ already. She seems to be seeking a real job. I have seen no indication of that from Dustin ergo I suspect she will do them if asked until she has a job and Dustin will be doing them when asked for the foreseeable future.

Heather I can see her declining and participating in certain ones here and there but as for Dustin, hopefully he doesn't become a nuisance on these things. [QUOTE=r3iKo;297434]Maybe you need to go listen to Derrick's podcast.[/QUOTE] Personally, I rather not.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;297440]Personally, I rather not.[/QUOTE] Perhaps if you and FishHooks did, you wouldn't take my statement for granted and would know what they've both stated about doing another Challenge and moving out together.

[QUOTE=r3iKo;297434]Maybe you need to go listen to Derrick's podcast.[/QUOTE] I have. She has tweeted/FB'd periodically since leaving RW that she is looking for a job, and that she would prefer something in production and behind the camera. Not sure what you mean by "time surrounding" , but to me, that is "Until I find a real job and, then, only if my job allows". The only indication that Dustin has some career aspiration independent of the franchise that I have seen was a tweet that he read for the lead in "I Just want My Pants Back". He certainly worked at his brother's gym some, but he clearly isn't commuting from the NJ suburbs of Philly to Louisiana to do that now. And they are living in her parents house per her youtubes and trying to save money which means they already live together, just not in their own place yet.

[QUOTE=eagles28;297458]Did you forget the whole Leroy and Adam hating each other storyline?[/QUOTE] That entire episode was dedicated to Leroy and Adam, and the episode where Leroy's friend was killed back in Detroit was also about him.

I mean the first night and the guys were already making fun of him with the **** stuff, I guess he didn't have a meltdown just because Heather was there with him. And about Heather, she is a "career girl" and doesn't seem to stick to the challenge, she is one of the few girls that actually is looking for a real job, guess she knows she is not going to live her entire life of the challenges. In fact she has already started a jewelry business. [QUOTE=FishHooks;297452]I have.

I mean he doesn't have a career and he seems to work out but not too much to put a gym and call himself a trainer. I wonder what he is going to do. I don't think that anyone in the cast had a main storyline besides Nany and Dustin (Nany with the lost father issue, and the Adam situation and Dustin with the **** stuff). Leroy didn't have enough time besides his issues with Adam and the hook up with Naomi.

[QUOTE=stuufman;297548]In fact she has already started a jewelry business.[/QUOTE] She has? That's awesome. Hopefully it becomes successful. I love Heather.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;297555]She has? That's awesome. Hopefully it becomes successful. I love Heather.[/QUOTE] Right now she is just assembling some jewelry from parts and selling it a handful at a time on the internet. She posts the link to it on her twitter when she has some for sale. I hope she is successful too but I don't know how many times she will be able to go to that same well.

Her pieces sell out almost as soon as she puts them up. I was about to buy one of her key chains, I was putting in my information,looked back and it was gone,lol. I think this is just a supplemental thing for her though, I don't think she actually wants to make it her career. She said she is freelancing right now,and had to turn down offers of free vacations. Dustin I remember he said in a radio show that he wants to get into advertisements, like making commercials.

I have seen a tweet from one girl talkng about how her keychain she had just got already broke. With her prices for what they are, I am skeptical that many other than her fans will be buying. Ckearly this is a hobby job

She just started her Etsy account so I would expect her buyers to be mostly her fans right now. Her prices are because the pieces are vintage. Her mother's great aunt passed away leaving behind the jewelry. Heather sometimes adds beads or crystals for extra decoration,plus she charges no shipping\handling cause she handles it herself. Also for an update,Heather is currently working at a vintage shop and Dustin works at Ikea.

Hopefully she does another challenge!

Heather is one of my favorite Real World girls. Too bad she's done though. She has so much potential because she's really athletic and has a black belt in martial arts. I could see her being like KellyAnne. I would've loved to see her, Dustin and Nany go the **** off on Frank. Heather would own him in an argument.

Edit: Man, I wish her and Dustin didn't get disqualified on Exes. They were a strong team.
