@FH: I agree, I believe that their age plays a major factor in how both couples (DxC, TxG) conduct themselves when it comes to romance. If they were just a few years older, I'm positive that: The fact that they're all participating in such a stressful competition certainly doesn't help things either (especially when you consider Courtney's attitude towards competition in particular).
 * Duncan and Courtney would be considerably more stable in terms of their relationship status.
 * Trent and Gwen would have worked things out and likely would not have broken up in the first place.
