Courtney and Duncan

This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Duncan. 
__NOTOC__
==Overview==
From the beginning of the series, it is evident that Duncan and Courtney are polar opposites, which causes a great deal of conflict between both of them during the first few episodes of Total Drama Island. In spite of this, they are often paired up together in challenges, which sometimes leads to insinuations that Courtney has feelings for him, which she steadfastly denies. Duncan, on the other hand, never denies that he is attracted to Courtney, and he, along with his friends, often accuse Courtney of wanting him as well. Despite the fact that she criticizes him at every opportunity, Courtney eventually shows signs of having a secret crush on Duncan, and there are indications of a mutual attraction growing between the two. This romantic tension eventually culminates in the two of them kissing in Basic Straining, with her displaying a more relaxed attitude towards the competition from Duncan's influence. However, any hope of the two competing alongside each other for the rest of the season is dashed when Courtney is voted off in that same episode, due to Harold tampering with the votes, as revenge for Duncan's bullying when he sees the two kissing. Signs of Duncan and Courtney having feelings for each other continue to be shown in many episodes after Courtney's elimination and well into the second season.
Courtney initially does not qualify for Total Drama Action while Duncan does. During Courtney's absence, Duncan becomes good friends with Gwen, but Courtney assumes that he is cheating on her. Duncan does show that he misses Courtney as he slept with a picture of her under his pillow and thinks of her when he is stargazing with Gwen. When Courtney returns in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, the two of them put their relationship aside and become enemies again as they are on different teams. This is also because Duncan is angry at the unfair advantages Courtney has while Courtney is angry at his and Gwen's friendship. Despite this, Duncan is unable to hold his feelings for her back and he lost to her in several challenges despite his great achievements before her return. Eventually, the two of them made up in Top Dog, but Courtney also imposes a set of overbearing rules on their relationship, expecting Duncan to completely memorize and follow them if they ever want to have a serious relationship. Because of this, Duncan votes Courtney off and they broke up. However, after the season finale, the two of them reconcile as a couple. They were shown in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special to have broken up again, but they got back together by the end of the episode after a kiss on the bus.
When season three starts, Duncan and Courtney are still a couple, although Duncan is slowly losing interest in her due to her bossiness and control over him. At the same time, he starts to develop romantic interest towards Gwen. Courtney is also angry at Gwen, thinking she has a crush on Duncan. The argument between both girls is what causes Duncan to quit the season. Despite these initial feelings of distrust, Gwen and Courtney eventually develop a friendship in the absence of Duncan, who quit the season in the first episode. During his absence, Courtney constantly shows signs of missing Duncan, but tries not to let it affect her competitiveness. However, Duncan eventually returns to the competition in I See London..., and Courtney's worst fears are realized when Gwen and Duncan share a kiss at the end of that episode. Courtney remains unaware of the kiss until the end of Greece's Pieces, when Tyler is forced by Alejandro to tell everyone about it, since he was the one who accidentally witnessed the event in the confessional. Courtney is devastated and heartbroken by this news, and it destroys her friendship with Gwen, as well as her relationship with Duncan. Courtney officially breaks up with Duncan in The EX-Files, after she dumps a bowl of spaghetti on his head and kicks him in the groin for cheating on her. He and Gwen will then start a relationship in the same episode. After Courtney is able to eliminate Gwen in Picnic at Hanging Dork, Duncan's hatred for Courtney intensifies and the two of them argue even after Gwen's elimination. Courtney also moves on from her relationship with Duncan, and starts to be attracted to Alejandro. From here on, the two of them return to being fierce enemies.
When Total Drama All-Stars starts, Duncan is still in a relationship with Gwen, while Courtney is still feeling resentful to the two of them. Many times during the season, Duncan tries to grab Courtney's attention but Courtney would completely ignore him. After Gwen breaks up with Duncan due to him still showing a lot of interest for Courtney, she and Courtney become friends again and tease Duncan several times. Meanwhile, Duncan finds out that an old enemy of his has returned and tries to warn both his ex-girlfriends, but the two of them refuse to listen to him, which eventually leads to their downfall when Mal begins targeting the contestants.

Once the trio gets to the top of the pyramid, Courtney and Gwen get into another argument over whether they should untie themselves or not.

Courtney dismisses his attempts at flattery, quickly pointing out to him that she's with Duncan. Alejandro persists though, and replies that it's a pity that she's given herself to a "quitter who doesn't deserve her.” This catches Courtney off-guard, and she stammers as she tries to respond, implying that she perhaps believes at least some of what Alejandro is saying.

Then at the end of the episode, after Duncan returns to the competition, Courtney scolds Duncan for "abandoning" her, greatly annoying him. But then, she hugs him and tells him that she isn't really mad; she just missed him. Duncan's feelings appear to no longer be mutual, as he looks directly at Gwen (who was standing behind Courtney), saying "Every time I ran from the cops, I thought of you." Courtney naturally believed that Duncan said this to her, not seeing Duncan's attentions fixated elsewhere. Soon after, Duncan barges in on Gwen in the confessional and they start kissing; their actions setting the stage for a vicious love triangle scenario in the near future. 
===Greece's Pieces===
At the beginning of the episode, Courtney sits with Gwen on a sofa, gushing over Duncan's attractiveness and how happy she is since he's returned. She then states that he still isn't perfect yet, emphasizing this point by pulling out a list of Duncan's supposed "flaws" that she plans to rectify. Later, Gwen and Duncan are staring at each other and making eyes, which Courtney notices. She confronts Gwen about it; Gwen making a save when she sets Courtney off course with a lie about how something needs to be done about Duncan's mohawk, relating to the list Courtney was talking about. Courtney replies that while it was originally on her list of flaws, she's actually grown to like it, admitting that love can do funny things to people. Courtney is shown to be extremely concerned when Duncan and Gwen are paired up for a challenge, since Courtney still fears that Gwen still has feelings for Duncan (and is unaware that the two of them have already kissed in the previous episode). During Greek Mix, Courtney finds that Duncan indeed has a great singing voice and swoons over it, ironically being too far away to make out the lyrics, which pertain to the love triangle going on that she is unaware of still. After Duncan and Gwen's challenge is over, Courtney becomes deeply concerned about Duncan, constantly asking where he is and if he is okay, because she has not seen him since the beginning of his and Gwen's challenge. When Alejandro forces Tyler (the sole witness to Duncan and Gwen's kiss) to reveal to everyone what he's seen, Courtney is devastated, heartbroken, but at this point more enraged than anything else. She screams at Gwen for her betrayal, admitting that they were actually becoming "friend-ish." Back on the plane in first class, Courtney is seen being comforted by Heather as she breaks down and cries over her loss.
===The EX-Files===
At the beginning of the episode, Courtney is shown making a list which includes getting back at Duncan and Gwen. In the confessional, she reveals that she still feels betrayed by Gwen, and that she apparently broke up with Duncan on "her terms," saying that it felt empowering. It is then revealed that she broke up with him by dumping a bowl of spaghetti on his head. She then breaks down crying in front of him and the other contestants, kicking and sobbing on the floor, while Duncan looks at her with a very guilty face. She then calls him and a "stupid jerk-face" and other words that weren't heard because of her crying. Duncan tries to apologize to her, but she interrupts him by kicking him hard in the groin. Courtney's confessional is then continued, in which she says in a cracked voice that she at least still had her pride, before finally breaking down and beginning to cry. Later, Courtney gets angry when Duncan openly flirts with Gwen, so Alejandro confronted her, saying she should flirt with someone else to make Duncan jealous. She decided to flirt with Tyler, which Duncan didn't seem to like too much. When Courtney later "flirted" with Tyler again, Duncan seemed surprised and possibly a bit upset, later revealing that he knew Courtney hated him, but he didn't think that she hated him that much. When she sees Duncan getting zapped by aliens just before crossing over into Area 51, Courtney laughs hysterically at his misfortune. Later, when Tyler was eliminated instead of Duncan, Courtney gets angry and whacks Tyler out of the plane. Courtney told Duncan that she'd get revenge on him and his new girlfriend, which he just smirked at.
===Picnic at Hanging Dork===
Still obsessed with getting revenge on Gwen and Duncan, Courtney starts flirting with Alejandro, not knowing Duncan and Alejandro agreed to prank Courtney, letting her believe Duncan is getting jealous. As Duncan pretends to be hurt, not only Courtney believes it, also Gwen does. During the second part of the challenge, Alejandro and Duncan take the strategy to the next level, while Alejandro is surprised after learning Courtney indeed wants to lose the challenge. After Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot wins, Courtney celebrates the results, while Duncan is late to realize their win meant the possibility of Gwen's elimination, as Courtney has planned. After the voting and the tie-breaker, Courtney manages to get rid of Gwen, and now she plans on getting back at Duncan too.
===Sweden Sour===
Courtney demands an apology from Duncan. He acts like he doesn't know what to apologize for, and refuses to apologize for kissing Gwen, which just makes Courtney angrier. Courtney tries to flirt with Alejandro to make Duncan jealous, but he apparently didn't care much.
===Niagara Brawls===
When everyone thought they were going to die, Courtney promised to tutor anyone even Duncan while Duncan promised to forget what Courtney said if they lived. Before the challenge Chris said someone was coming into the game. Duncan agreed with Cody that it would be nice to have Gwen back, Courtney disagreed and glared directly at Duncan. Courtney did not want Duncan as a husband and managed to get a bear instead. After the bear attacked her, Duncan and Courtney were paired for the wedding challenge even though both did not want each other (Duncan actually tried going back into the machine). Courtney was even considering trying working with the bear. They fought constantly, stating each other's flaws. Although they were paired together, Duncan purposely gave Courtney wrong directions to taunt her. At the tight rope challenge, Duncan carried Courtney and they both passed customs. They both argued with each other, Courtney saying that Duncan was an insensitive jerk and mocking about his piercings while Duncan says she could use some mouthwash. When Chris says that they've won the challenge and that they have to share first class, they both angrily glare at him. Immediately after this, Courtney demands a divorce while Duncan sarcastically replies that he wanted to "stay married to your sunshiney self forever."
===Chinese Fake-Out===
They are seen together in first class, but do not seem to enjoy each others' presence. Duncan admits he likes the silent treatment, but feels he needs to have Courtney in an alliance in order to overthrow Alejandro. He tries to talk to her and even calls her "ex-wifey" and "Court." Still holding a grudge against him, Courtney throws him into the cake. During the race challenge, Duncan stops and laughs at Courtney when her bike got stuck in a crack. When Alejandro asks Duncan about winning Courtney's loyalty, he replies that she hasn't got any of that, saying that he had already tried, relating to when Duncan tried to get Courtney to team up with him against Alejandro, but completely backfired. They continue arguing when Duncan mocks Alejandro for helping Courtney, saying that "Miss C.I.T." was now "Miss I Can't Do It Myself." Later in the race challenge, Courtney angrily says to Duncan that he was a loser because of his insults towards her. When Chris was on his phone, Duncan asked him if it was Courtney wanting him to say to her that she was a loser. Duncan also noticed that she was eating something during the food challenge. After it was revealed she was helping Alejandro cheat, Courtney was eliminated along with Blaineley in a double elimination. She tells Duncan that she is planning a defamation lawsuit against him. Duncan, however, doesn't seem to mind, as he sarcastically says goodbye to her instead, noticeably with a satisfied smile on his face. In a deleted clip, Courtney calls Duncan the Lover of the Goths and is happy now that she is away from him.
===African Lying Safari===
Alejandro comments that Duncan is as happy as ever, and he nods, saying that "it's as if all of his problems were pushed off a plane," obviously referring to Courtney. Duncan also noted that his romance with her is a failure.
===Hawaiian Style===
Courtney displays dislike towards Duncan when he stood next to her, calling him "Jerk-face." Throughout the episode, Courtney wanted to sing a song she wrote that is basically a hate-song expressing her dislike for Duncan and Gwen. She tried to sing it on several occasions, but was interrupted by something else. Her first attempt was during Who You Gonna Root For?, and she sang that Gwen was a boyfriend stealer and that Duncan was a dead man, but Geoff stopped her. She started to sing her song again, with the first line mentioning that Duncan never used soap, just before the song I'm Winning This began. Also, in a deleted scene from the episode, Courtney tries to sing the song for a third time, while she is standing next to Gwen and Duncan (who are relaxing on the beach in lounge chairs, alongside other couples). When Courtney starts singing again, Duncan finally gets so fed up that he throws a sandal at her face, knocking her down.
==Total Drama All-Stars==
===Opening sequence===
Courtney is seen fighting Duncan and Gwen with a burning jousting stick while she glares at them menacingly.
===Heroes vs. Villains===
Duncan is annoyed by Gwen sighing over being labelled a villain, saying he "might as well be dating Courtney". Later, Courtney glares a few times at Gwen, still clearly upset over the events of Total Drama World Tour. When Gwen complains to Duncan about Courtney's glaring, Duncan offers to glare back at Courtney on behalf of Gwen, which he does. However, Courtney ignores him. Duncan tries to get Courtney's attention, but she continues to ignore him. In a confessional, Duncan shows that he feels hurt that Courtney is completely ignoring him now, but he fake shrugs this off.
Following Duncan's confessional, Lindsay tells Courtney that Duncan may want to be yelled at for old times' sake. However, Courtney states that it'd be pointless, since Duncan "never listens". Furthermore, Courtney seems to have fully accepted that things are finally over between her and Duncan, stating that things probably wouldn't have lasted anyway due to him being a "bad boy".
===Saving Private Leechball===
Both Duncan and Courtney continue to ignore each other throughout the episode. When they were ordered to switch teams, Duncan confronts her and says now she can't ignore his presence, and adds that he exists. Courtney however angrily retaliates with "you exist, so what!" and snaps at him that she does not care, causing Duncan to back off, viably hurt.
===Moon Madness===
Duncan believes that Courtney is pretending to be interested to Scott in order to make him jealous which he pretended to not be bothered. Throughout the episode, Duncan constantly asked Gwen whether or not Courtney is talking about him. This, along with several events in the previous episodes, is the breaking point for Gwen and she ends her relationship with him.
===Suckers Punched===
Gwen and Courtney routinely mock Duncan through the boxing challenge, both taking amusement in seeing him unable to fight the bird he had been unable to bring harm to in the previous episode as the two of them rebuild their friendship. However, when Chris pits the two girls against each other in a fight they both refuse, prompting Chris to pull out a montage of clips from Sierra's blog of all the time Gwen and Duncan kissed in World Tour. This clip show infuriates Courtney once more, and she hammers Gwen with blows as she vents her anger over her kissing her former boyfriend. Duncan sees this and is pleased to see the girls fighting over him, bragging to Alejandro as he watches. He is also ecstatic, and thinks that Courtney still has feelings for him. However, when the girls exhaust themselves in their fight, Gwen admits she only wanted to make things better with Courtney, and Courtney responds that she had gotten over Duncan and never truly missed him after season three but had actually missed Gwen, much to Duncan's shock and dismay.
===You Regatta Be Kidding Me===
Duncan wanted to be in an alliance with Courtney and Gwen. Duncan says he could protect them from Mal but since they refuse to believe that "Mike" is one of the biggest threats in the competition they laugh at Duncan and refuse his alliance offer.
