I still don't see how this proves that she values money over her relationship with Duncan. There was nothing she could have done. Moreover, even if she attempted to do something, she was in the middle of nowhere with 20 different members literally surrounding in on her and closing in. She had no medication with her, she didn't have a hot air balloon at the time, she had no transportation and Duncan was pretty much dead weight. She was left with no other choice but to cut Duncan loose and retrieve him later. Courtney was apparently aware of how rude this may appear but she knew she didn't have enough time to explain such concepts to Duncan, so what everyone forgets is that she apologized to him during the process. This shows that she was respectful to him and is evidence that she planed to come back for Duncan later.

How do you know Courtney didn't act concerned? I just saw the scene again and it's very apparent to me at least that Courtney was at least mildly concerned about Bridgette, but as I pointed out before she had nothing with her at the time. Moreover, she was literally shackled to Heather at the time. Again, there was nothing she could have possibly done.

"Gwen, that chart meant nothing. I'm sorry for even writing it. I still want to be partners, I still want to be friends!"

"Okay, I'll try to convince Zoey to vote for Scott, but in order to trust you, you need to vote for yourself."

Did this conversation did or did not happen? This is absolute proof that Courtney shows remorse for betraying Gwen. If she didn't, she would have came up with another strategy of her own. Moreover, there's more evidence that Courtney did vote for herself then there is that she didn't in the fact that there were three votes cast against her with two votes Mal, which were Gwen's and apparently Zoey's. I'm not sure how this is "couldn't get Gwen at first" because Gwen already promised Courtney that she would vote for Scott and try to get Zoey to vote Scott off too. This sounds like "getting Gwen" to me, but with a reasonable compromise. Zoey's not entirely smart. In fact, I don't think she's smart at all in that she denied Courtney and yet she expected Courtney to help her out when she made it very clear that she did not want anything to do with her. That's pretty hypocritical of her, and yes very stupid of her. Courtney did say she was remorseful in a sense. She sarcastically said "thanks Mike", which implies that she was aware that her friendship with Gwen is at risk, NOT that her strategy has been exposed. This is abundantly clear when the immediate scene afterwards shows Courtney attempting to reconcile with Gwen.
