User blog comment:JIMBOYKELLY/Pick Your Side! - Which is the best couple? Courtney and Duncan or Gwen and Trent?/@comment-25285054-20170106050810/@comment-29813800-20170106052254

I don't particularly love either couple as well, mostly for the reasons you gave above. Imo I found it kind of cute at times that Trent would revolve around her, even though it did not provide much character development, but loved confessionals like "she rocks my world". Might be controversial, but I felt like Gwen was the more agitating part of the couple since, as you mentioned above, she would flip flop between being angry at him to forgiving him without explanation in the next episode. It made the couple feel very disjointed since, unlike Gidgette, we don't see the pair mending their problems and just seem to skip to a resolution.

As far as Duncney, I'm really not sure where I stand. They were cute in Basic Straining and I loved how Duncan was able to pull out Courtney's "bad" side. But, overall, they fought far too much and were unable to agree on such basic things that the relationship seemed too toxic. I definitely agree that the couple was repetitive in TDA, though I'm super thankful that Courtney returned as she ended up being one of my favorite contestants that season.
