@Moneyballer Thank you, this is what I've been getting at as well. I mean I think they both share blame, but at the end of the day how it was written is what I take the greatest issue with. The whole ordeal really was a huge mess. (Sorry for the long comments, BTW; that's how I tend to operate, I suppose)

@Jam7 That's what I'm inclined to believe. I mean, she at least attempted to right some of her past wrongs, and Duncan's true affections for these girls is too all over the place given his nature for me to deem them genuine.

@Tamoti Gwen didn't have serious interaction with Duncan outside of "Hook, Line, and Screamer", "Camp Castaways", and "Are We There Yeti?", and certainly on nothing resembling a romantic level. At best, it was mutual respect for each other, but she otherwise didn't regard him that fondly at the time nor was that a lot of interaction over a 26-episode season. And in the TDI finale and special, there was still not a single hint of this later attraction. I mean, Duncan took amusement in seeing Gwen risking her life and she would still call him psycho in private, a pretty harsh comment to lay down when you put it in retrospect. They don't share that many interests or activities at all on the grander scheme of things. And they're superficial at best. They really spent very little personal time together at all over the first three seasons for anything major to have budded from it, whereas she and Trent were close friends through the latter's entire run on TDI and their feelings for each other were clear and ongoing even after he lost. And that all lends itself to why I find the triangle unwarranted, stupid, and beyond forced. And since it didn't develop on a grounds that would suggest Duncan and Gwen had any real romantic chemistry over the first three seasons in the actually very little serious time they spent together in the time before the hookup, it really feels like it was hamfisted against all common sense and logic, and their radical changes in behavior once it began festering really feels like derailment to me.

Well they were tight all through the season and her feelings persisted for Trent even after Heather nearly wrecked their hookup, there was a time where Gwen treated her handful of relationships with care.

She had her bad moments in TDI yes, but nothing resembling outright derailment. But from Action onwards she's become difficult to follow. Too many WTH the moments with her in how she handles herself in a tense situation.
