Frankly, I think that Courtney deserves to be dumped. All of the heartbreak, heartache, not to mention groin pain, that she's caused Duncan, and how she's also hurt many other people on the show; that would be the ultimate payback!

Personally, DC is way too old. I mean, really, you guys shouldn't be complaining and going on and on about how the couple is just SO popular, and that it's just SO important to the series. Really, it's not. It's nothing but comic relief. I'll admit, it has a lot of fans (*cough*, "psychos," *cough*), but the one couple that had even more fans than it did: GT. It was a truly honest, emotional, and heartbreaking couple. It probably did have more fans than DC, and maybe still does. But guess what? We GT fans had to go through the break-up. We thought that there was still a chance that they'd get back together, but guess what? They didn't. The couple is dead now. And to those saying that either Gwen's moved on and Trent hasn't, or vice-versa, both of you are wrong. BOTH of them have moved on. The couple wasn't even referred to AT ALL in the TDA special, but Trent did admit that he had new girlfriends. It's done. How do you guys think we feel about that? I speak as a former avid GT fan myself, just so you know. We had to put up with that, so you guys shouldn't be complaining about your couple. And not just GT, either, but HL, and even GB (even if it was for only one episode). The former hasn't been a couple for over a whole season now, and, while GB was going strong in the TDA special, we've now seen hints that it's in serious trouble. Of course TL is in trouble (with Alejandro's intervention, and the fact that they're on opposite teams, AGAIN), so that really only leaves OI, whose screen time PALES in comparison to the amount of screen time hogged by DC.

If anything, you should be happy about the possible outcome of DC. First of all, when GT broke up, neither of them hooked up with anyone else on the show; they both became loners. At least one of the member of DC will be with someone else after he's moved on. And besides, Duncan deserves Gwen more because she'll be nice to him. She'll listen to his feelings, she won't criticize him, and she certainly won't be taking away his children years before he even gets the chance to have some. XP And you all know basic math? A positive (Duncan) and a negative (Courtney) combined make a negative. That's what DC is right now. They are the two most opposite personalities imaginable right now, forced together by cliche writers. But a positive (Duncan) and a postiive (Gwen) would make perfect chemistry together. They're very much the same in many ways, and more. I always imagined them as a couple the first time I saw them have one-on-one interaction with each other in The Big Sleep. Don't you guys get it? Gwen can make him truly happy. With Courtney, he's in a prison. Top Dog made that clear. He has to do what she says, how she says, when she says, and perfectly. It's not a military class, or a law school; it's a relationship (or is it?) And if he does something even slightly wrong, and doesn't even know it, then she'll punish him physically, or mentally, or sue him, or something like that. Gwen won't treat him like crap. She won't be constantly breakng up, then getting back together, breaking up, then getting back together, and so on OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

For a long time now, the writers have been hinting that Duncan is truly torn. He wants to make the right choice, but is caught between a rock and a hard place. Two beautiful girls to choose from, and he picks based purely on looks, rather than personality; he goes with the girl who is "hotter." Dial M for Merger and One Million Bucks, B.C. are perfect indications of his purely physical attraction to her. But only after two seasons did he finally start to realize that he wants to redeem himself and make the right choice. But he fears Courtney, and can't do it. It would only make perfect sense that now, at the very end, the writers finally have him do the right thing and finally make the right choice; be with his true dream girl, and finally stand up to his captor, just like he did in Top Dog. Only this time, it's permanent.

And personally, I'm glad that they're doing this. You guys say that it's terrible for them to breaking up all ofthe major couples like this, because they all have so many fans, and yadda-yadda-yadda. But the truth is: You've all been forced to deal with the same six (five, if you don't count Harold and LeShawna) for two whole seasons now. We have barely even had a single reference to a brand new couple made up until now. You guys just need to expand your horizons a little more; you're stuck on the same six rocks. It's not necessarily your guys' fault, it's the writers for forcing the same old material on us over and over again. But new couples would be awesome. After all, it's like the format of each season; they haven't been taking us back to Camp Wawanakwa again and again with each and every season. They do have slight references or return appearances again, but that's it. They do something newer, bigger, and better with each season. It can be the exact same with the couples.

I just really hope that this time, the writers will make the RIGHT choice. Who cares about the obsessive DC fans? Like I said before, GT fans have had to put up with it; why should you guys get special treatment? And they know, in the long run, it would be much better, dramatic, more pleasing to the story, less cliche, and a more perfect finish to one of the most dramatic romantic storylines in the entire series. It would truly be a happy ending, instead of just staying with the same couple for three seasons.
