I don't think Ezekiel would have lasted that long in the competition even if Courtney had been the first to go. Let's face it, the culture shock would have gotten to him sooner or later; it definitely wasn't to his advantage.

As for whether Duncan and Courtney would have hooked up at Playa de Losers, it's hard to tell. I personally think that they first began to be secretly attracted to each other ever since their first one-on-one interaction in Not So Happy Campers - Part Two, but perhaps you're right. Without the numerous instances of tension between the two that occured throughout the first 12 episodes of TDI, they might not have gotten into a position where they officially became a couple.
