Let’s talk about Duncney, probably the most beloved couple in the first generation cast. These two had thousands of fans during their time together, and even to this today, many still claim they’re still the greatest TD couple of all time.

With that being said, it may come as a shock to you when I say that IMO, Duncney is quite overrated. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it’s my least favorite couple of the series (unless attractions count). And here’s why...

Total Drama Island


Now, Island is the only season where I didn’t have a problem with Duncney at all. I was pretty neutral towards it at this point in time. Then again, I was pretty neutral to (almost) every couple at this point in time. It might sound weird, but TD wasn’t a show that I started watching just for the romance. Anyway, many fans liked Duncney’s plot in this season with their whole “opposites attract” style. I personally disagree with this, as I just fail to see how polar opposites can make a good couple without having at least some similarities. I never paid all that much attention to Duncney back in Island, because nine times out of ten, it was mainly only Duncan clearly being attracted to Courtney and the latter attempting to deny any feelings for the former (even was it was obvious she was into him). It wasn’t until Basic Straining when they officially became a couple and Courtney kisses Duncan. But the weird thing is, Harold puts an end to this almost immediately when he rigs the votes against Courtney in order to get revenge on Duncan for screwing with him for the past three episodes. Yeah, that’s how it ends, more or less. Duncan would bring up Courtney sometimes after that, like in No Pain, No Game or Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, but since Courtney was out, that was more or less the end of the story up until Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. They teamed up to steal the million dollar Suitcase from Lindsay and her group, until Duncan gets a cramp and Courtney leaves him behind, which I didn’t like at all. Yes, I get that this is a million dollars we’re talking about, but as Duncan pointed out, he wrestled an alligator to get that case back. Anyway, the two part ways, and since Duncan falls into the lake, he advances to Action. The same can’t be said for Courtney, but this isn’t the last we’d see of her...
