I just think it wasn't that fun to watch and it didn't really go anywhere.

Courtney finds out about it, tries to get revenge on Duncan and Gwen for several episodes in not particulary interesting ways, fails, and then gets eliminated. That's it. In the midst of all of it, we get a lot of repetitive, grating, unfunny bickering between Duncan and Courtney.

All my favorite moments in the episodes it encompassed really have nothing to do with it. For example, my favorite moment in "Sweden Sour" was the catchy musical number, which had nothing to do with the love triangle.

I agree with you that this sort of show needs actual plot from time to time and can't rely 100% on comedy, but the love triangle didn't do it for me.
