Bridgette and Courtney

The Bridgette-Courtney Friendship is about the friendship between Bridgette and Courtney.

Overview
When the series first began, Courtney was shown to only want to win the competition, and she didn't seem to be interested in making friends with anybody. However, she became friends with her fellow Killer Bass teammate Bridgette, and the interaction between the two girls escalated to the point that they became good friends before Courtney was voted off her team. Unlike most characters, whom Courtney does not hesitate to criticize for their failures or what she deems as uselessness to herself and the team, Bridgette seems to have Courtney's genuine respect. They manage to maintain their friendship in spite of episodes where Courtney berates Bridgette for any serious mistake she makes, such as in The Sucky Outdoors.

Considering how many enemies Courtney has made due to her ruthlessness in the competition throughout the series (particularly in Total Drama Action), Bridgette is probably the only real friend that Courtney still has left on the entire show.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 2
Like just about everyone else, Bridgette grows annoyed of Courtney constantly bringing up her C.I.T. experience, but does not think she should be voted off after the Killer Bass lose the first challenge. Instead, she directly asks Courtney who she thinks should be voted off.

The Big Sleep
Courtney and Bridgette were both witnesses to Eva's fury. They both presumably gladly voted off Eva.

Not Quite Famous
Courtney is unimpressed with Bridgette's talent of standing on her hands for twenty minutes, thinking that is a talent better suited for monkeys. Courtney herself is originally scheduled to be in the talent contest to play her violin, but Bridgette inadvertently smashes Courtney and her violin (the latter of which breaks) after getting a hanging light caught on her leg. Bridgette feels horrible about the accident and tries to fix the violin, but it only shatters into pieces, prompting Courtney to cry for the loss. Bridgette ends up having to replace Courtney in the talent contest. As all the talent show contestants are rehearsing, Bridgette assures Courtney that she will make up for her mistake by performing in her place. Heather later comes by and accuses Bridgette of sabotaging Courtney on purpose, but Bridgette adamantly denies it, saying the Killer Bass are not as underhanded as the Screaming Gophers are.

Right before Bridgette was set to go on though, her stomach began rumbling and she looked noticeably queasy. Courtney showed concern and asked if Bridgette was okay to do this. Bridgette assured Courtney that she was fine, but Courtney still had a look of worry on her face over Bridgette's well-being. Bridgette ended up vomiting all over the place during her performance due to eating an excessive amount of chips earlier. Unlike the other characters, Courtney is not shown to criticize Bridgette for her disastrous performance (which is fairly uncharacteristic of Courtney's usual behavior). In fact, Bridgette and Courtney stay together for the rest of the episode. After Heather read Gwen's diary onstage, both of them agreed that it was a very mean thing of Heather to do. Later, they fret over who to replace Geoff for their final act after Geoff accidentally breaks his skateboard. The girls ultimately decide to put Harold on the stage, which ends up earning their team the win. Bridgette and Courtney celebrate by hugging Harold.

Phobia Factor
As Courtney was getting ready to face her fear of green jelly, Gwen purposely talked about how gross, warm, and snotty it was. This caused Bridgette to tell Courtney not to listen to her, since Gwen was trying to scare her into quitting.



Up the Creek
Courtney and Bridgette partner up in a canoe for a trip to Boney Island. There, Bridgette confides in Courtney about a heart-shaped clay bowl that was left on her bed earlier that day by Geoff, including a torn picture that put Bridgette and Geoff beside each other and a cheesy inscription on the back of the bowl. Courtney listens, aghast that Geoff would be so forward and agrees with Bridgette that it was a bad move on Geoff's part.

Later in the episode, when Bridgette and Courtney are alone in the girls' side of the Bass cabin, Bridgette accidentally drops Geoff's clay bowl, smashing it to pieces. She asks Courtney if she has any glue that she could use. Courtney responds by saying that she "wouldn't waste her time" on fixing the clay bowl. However, Bridgette disagrees, saying that maybe she would, indicating her growing attraction to Geoff.

Basic Straining
Courtney and Bridgette eat together after Duncan and Courtney steal an abundance of food from Chef Hatchet. Bridgette attempts to stop Courtney from eating too much, but Courtney, experiencing an adrenaline rush, ignores the warning, and ends up eating to the point where she vomits it back out. Bridgette didn't seem to show any emotion when Courtney was voted off in this episode, though it's possible that she was simply speechless about it or she was trying to avoid getting herself into trouble by speaking up.

Haute Camp-ture
When discussing Duncan, one of the campers in the final five, Bridgette talks about how Courtney told her that Duncan has a soft side to him despite his intimidating demeanor. Since Bridgette openly disliked Duncan before being voted off the island, it is safe to assume Bridgette and Courtney resumed hanging out together after they were eliminated, where Courtney eventually told Bridgette about the nice side of Duncan.

The Aftermath: ll
Bridgette specifically asked Courtney what her thoughts were about the season so far. Although Courtney refused to comment due to advice from her lawyers, none of her hostility was directed at Bridgette in spite of her bitter tone. Also, when Geoff insults Bridgette's weight when she eats DJ's sandwiches, Courtney is seen gasping in shock.

The Aftermath: IV
Their last bit of interaction in the second season occurs in the final episode, in which Courtney was seen smiling sweetly at Bridgette after she said that she would miss all of her fellow competitors, indicating that their friendship likely still stands despite Courtney's antagonistic role throughout the second season.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
Courtney sang as a backup singer for Bridgette in the song, Stuck to a Pole. After, Courtney remained until Chris answered to Bridgette's plight, but then left since she was unable to help her, especially since they were on opposing teams. She did seem angry leaving though, when Chris made an illogical excuse not to help her.

Hawaiian Style
Bridgette and Courtney interact once again. The two talk to each other in a friendly and casual tone. It seems their friendship isn't affected by their completely opposite opinions of Alejandro. Unlike with Geoff, Courtney doesn't attempt to say something in response to Bridgette badmouthing Alejandro.

Though Courtney was already declared the winner, Bridgette highlighted and praised Courtney's win in the challenge to the audience to make them cheer. Courtney also civilly apologized for interrupting her and Geoff when they finally got the chance to properly reunite when asking for her prize and while Courtney got upset at not receiving a prize, she didn't make a fuss about it; both these instances were quite opposed to her normal attitude towards others in these situations(though she did look cross).

Not So Happy Campers - Part 2
When Courtney attempted to convince her teammates that they shouldn't vote her off, she once again started to say that she was a C.I.T. Bridgette, noticeably with an annoyed look on her face as well as an annoyed tone in her voice, finished her sentence for her, obviously implying that she was not impressed with Courtney's argument. She likely would have voted for Courtney had it not been for Ezekiel's sexist comments.

The Sucky Outdoors
Courtney was mostly frustrated with Bridgette in this episode, as her clumsiness put the Bass team in a bad situation, once again. After being disoriented by a bat, Bridgette accidentally kicks up an ember from their bonfire that lands on the team's tent, which instantly incinerates it and leaves the Bass without shelter for the night. Courtney yells at Bridgette for this. Thankfully, all of the heat on Bridgette was taken off after the Bass lost due to Katie and Sadie being separated from the team, presumably allowing Courtney and Bridgette to make amends after this episode.

Phobia Factor
When Duncan told Courtney that it would be okay if she didn't face her fear, Bridgette told him that it was not okay, because they would lose. Also, at the Campfire Ceremony, when everyone, including Bridgette, teased Tyler about his fear of chickens, Courtney told them to stop.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
After Bridgette, Courtney, and the rest of Team Amazon sang Stuck to a Pole, Courtney seemed happy to be able to leave, even when Bridgette called out to them for help with her predicament. Courtney, along with all of the other members of Team Amazon, showed no signs of acknowledgment to Bridgette's pleas and simply left. However, this may be due to her ambitious personality and desire to win. This also may be because they were on opposing teams.
