Yes and no Zoether. Yes in the sense that she was tough and that was partly the reason they wanted Court out. No because they mainly wanted her gone because she treated everyone like crap. Court's victories can be compare to Gwen's in TDI in the sense that both practically won all the time. Difference is: Gwen's victories were far more believable and she didn't win every episode after the next. Court was menacing, but nobody took her too seriously. I mean freaking Beth talked back to her, who had finished being pushed around by Heather in the previous season. I do see your point though and that is possibly the reason. But, Jayden is also right when mentioning nobody feared her like many feared Heather. None of the antagonists' plan was to put fear into an opponent but Heather had managed to put fear within several contestants. Al only did that as a last resort, because usually he could talk his way out of a situation due to his incredible social skills.

The thing is: Courtney's victories weren't that much impressive. I mean sure she was tough and skilled and all, but when you take the plot out, she would have been gone in either Super Hero-ld or Rock n' Rule. Court did cause some eliminations, a lot at that. But to me, that doesn't mean much as Duncan is the main cause for Courtney's first 3 eliminations, but has hardly gotten much people out from there.

Alejandro didn't have strategy? He was arguably smarter than Heather (though I put them the same but he appears smarter due to his greater social skills). Court's strategy was to just keep winning and if she cannot win on her own, use a PDA to help her. Her manipulation (out of 10 is 4/10): She got Duncan, who was already paranoid about Gwen/Trent, Justin (that was impressive I'll admit) and eliminated: Owen (twice), Lindsay, Leshawna & Duncan.

Alejandro's strategy may get old, but his was far better for his character and a lot better executed than Court's. But I guess it's up to personal opinion.
