To me Ttowen, probably the biggest gaff in AS was how they handled Courtney and Gwen's reunion. A lot of us really loved the two as friends and were over joyed to see them make amends and get back together, we were also really happy to see Courtney's development. From the start she was really hurt from Gwen's betrayal and outright said how much it hurt and how it made her stop looking to make friends and focus on the game. But then we saw her slowly trust Gwen again before finally accepting her again and forgiving her. Then SMS happened and threw all that away having her act in a way that didn't add up to any ofher actions from the last few episodes and destroyed all that development, making Courtney seem like she was just conning people and her 'friends' immediately dumping her. What's worse was the episode made zero sense (why would she make such a crude list? How did Mal get to it? Why is it Mal didn't have a hand in this elimination when he's had one in pretty much all the others?) and the episode was pretty much set against Courtney from the start. Making her so unsympathetic you WANTED her to leave, but it was so mean-spirited and out of no where it felt horrible. To see something that a lot of fans wanted (for both characters) built up and then destroyed so cheaply was heartbreaking and infuriating. It was the last straw for me in All-Stars.
