User blog comment:Fan7/Duncan, Owen, and Courtney - The Most Popular Characters?/@comment-1756703-20100719173520

Courtney is probably the most polarizing character in the series. While she is very popular, she also seems to have the most haters (especially after the second season aired). On this wiki, it's easy to split up the active users into "pro-Courtney" and "anti-Courtney" camps, and both would have a sizable number of people.

Owen isn't all that popular, I find. He does have fans, but most people here on the wiki seem to dislike him. I personally like him, but I agree with the general sentiment that he does have way too much screen time.

Lindsay is hard to dislike, which accounts for her high popularity amongst Total Drama fans. She's sweet and funny. I wouldn't say she's the most popular, though... that honor would probably go to Duncan or Gwen (or even Courtney).
