Courtney and Gwen



The Courtney-Gwen Conflict is the conflict between Courtney and Gwen. Despite their limited interaction in Total Drama Island, there did seem to be some hard feelings between the two. This conflict might also be one-sided on Courtney's side, as Gwen frequently tries to make peace.

Episodes For
This conflict between Gwen and Courtney is especially about Duncan. This conflict has greatly intensified in the wake of recent events in Total Drama Action.

Dodgebrawl
During breakfast in the lodge, Courtney glares at Gwen for winning her team the challenge of the previous episode. Heather then taunts the Killer Bass for voting off Eva, their strongest player (An event she herself had motivated). Courtney retaliates by flinging oatmeal at her face but hits Gwen in the face instead when Heather moves aside. Later at the dodgeball game, Gwen retaliates for this incident by throwing a ball into Courtney's face, as she never apologized for this mistake.

Phobia Factor
When Courtney was forced to face her fear of green jelly, Gwen intimidated her by remarking how gross, warm, and snotty it was. Gwen's taunts played a factor in Courtney's failure to complete the challenge, costing the Killer Bass another loss.

Haut Camp-ture
Ranting about how she should have been in the top five, Courtney remarks to Trent that Gwen was not a team player in the challenges like she was.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Gwen did not consider Courtney as one of the five sane people that she got along with and called her goody-goody, though not to her face.

The Aftermath: I
Courtney seemed unhappy when she learned about Gwen and Duncan's friendship. This may become parallel to Trent and Duncan's conflict. When picking Trent's or Gwen's side she states, "I'm with Gwen. Not because I like her, but because Trent is a loser by choice." She switches over to Trent's side later on.

The Aftermath: II
This episode seems to officially establish Gwen and Courtney as enemies, as the enmity between them has been more or less ambiguous prior to this point. When Gwen is coming on to the stage Courtney boos along with the audience. When Gwen's relationship with Duncan is brought up, Gwen tries to convince everyone that they are just friends, but Courtney accuses her of wrapping her "goth girl hooks" on him. She also asks if DJ's mom had any rotten vegetables to throw at her. Gwen then shows Courtney a clip where she and Duncan are stargazing, and Duncan spends the whole time thinking about Courtney. Courtney cools down and smiles as she witnesses this. Unfortunately, Geoff finishes the clip to show Duncan playfully wrestle Gwen to the ground, where he is merely inches from her lips. Before Gwen can explain, Courtney glares at her and storms off the stage in a huff, calling her lawyer.

Not Quite Famous
In a rare display of sympathy, Courtney remarks to Bridgette during the talent contest that Heather reading Gwen's diary just to embarrass her was a disgusting act. Bridgette agrees with her.

Phobia Factor
Courtney blamed herself for her failure to conquer her fear instead of blaming Gwen.

Haut Camp-ture
Courtney brought up the diary incident again saying how bad it was when asked to comment about Heather.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Courtney showed concern when Gwen was attacked by eagles. In the alternate ending, she is invited to Gwen's party along with every other camper, except Heather.
