User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-24971793-20141030161213/@comment-24152851-20141031140007

Well I can't honestly defend Courtney's actions in early TDAS, her derailment and being painted as a villain had already started. She did plan on manipulating her team at that stage, sending everyone out to take the hits, while she stays in the cave as her pawns do all the work. I can't excuse her for using Sam as a shield either, most people would just run or in Zoey's case matrix dodge. Look at Duncan who actually used himself as a shield. Regardless of whether Courtney was supposed to be sympathetic at other times, she wasn't meant to be in Private Leechball.

I dont have anything to say about the "Total Friendship" thing, that's just Courtney being Courtney, not really good or evil.
