Everyone and Courtney

This article is about the conflict between Courtney and all of the other contestants. Courtney's ambitious, fiercely competitive, and ruthless attitude, coupled with her uptight personality, criticism of others, and bossiness has caused her to become easily disliked by many of her fellow competitors, especially her teammates. Though she was able to maintain some friendships throughout the competition, her harshness and obsession with winning made her enemies with most of the competitors. However, this doesn't seem to bother her. She immediately became antagonistic towards others in her debut episode, Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, right off the bat, and by the end of her run on Total Drama Action, she had fully adopted the role of main antagonist. Though she knows that her reputation is at an all-time low, she seems to prefer winning more than maintaining a positive view of herself.

Alejandro
In the Total Drama Action special, Courtney is frustrated by Alejandro's incapability of opening the envelope. In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Alejandro plays with Courtney's mind by calling Duncan a quitter, and "not deserving" of her. She becomes annoyed by Alejandro's comments, but can't think of a comeback, so she ignores him instead. In Greece's Pieces, Alejandro, in order to stir up trouble, makes Tyler tell Courtney that he witnessed Duncan and Gwen kissing, which he is glad to see makes her furious. See the Female-Alejandro Attraction page for more detail.

Beth
Due to being on different teams, and both getting voted off early, Courtney and Beth didn't interact much, if at all, during Total Drama Island. However, once Courtney returned to the competition in Total Drama Action, she was put on the Killer Grips, where she and Beth started to clash. Out of everyone in the Total Drama series, Beth has one of the worst relationships with Courtney, especially when Courtney was trying to get into an alliance with Beth. See Beth-Courtney Conflict page for more information.

Bridgette
For the most part, the two actually seem to have a pretty good friendship; the only true friendship that Courtney has. See Bridgette-Courtney Friendship for more details.

Cody
Not much is known about Courtney and Cody's relationship, as they were on different teams, and are very rarely seen together. In Dodgebrawl when Cody is last in the first round Courtney calls him an easy out. In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, where Cody and his alliance of friends inadvertently took a ride on Courtney's stolen hot air balloon. It is revealed that Courtney doesn't like any of the four boys, and she wasn't against letting them fall to their deaths. In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Courtney (accidentally) kicks Cody in the groin while choosing the name "Team Amazon". Cody was annoyed with Courtney, Heather, and Gwen's bickering in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan. Courtney was impressed with Cody and Sierra's commercial and compliment him. She was going to give him a hug if Sierra allowed her to. In Broadway, Baby! when Cody and his team won the reward challenge and was rewarded with candy, Courtney told him to leave some candy for the others. In Greece's Pieces, after Cody boasts about being stronger than the girls, Courtney makes fun of him and later shoves him aside when he starts meddling in the fight, at the end of the episode Cody ignores a direct order from Courtney in order to keep Gwen in the game and is the only member of Team Amazon who does not show any signs of sympathy for Courtney after she finds out that Duncan had been cheating on her. Cody doesn't hesitate to vote Courtney off in Picnic at Hanging Rock, giving more support to Gwen and cheers with her once Heather agreed to vote Courtney too. But he couldn't vote her off because of the dingo attack he got during the challenge, leading all to a tie breaker won by Courtney. In Sweden Sour, Courtney is constantly annoyed by Cody missing Gwen. She tells him to stop his breathing after he sighs from hearing her name. She is also angry when Cody makes their team's sculpture a giant Gwen head rather than a boat. Cody voted for Courtney to be kicked off.

Courtney's Lawyers
Courtney's lawyers have a small conflict with her. In the Total Drama Island Special, Courtney calls her lawyer "pathetic" for losing her first lawsuit against the show. Courtney tried to call them in Dial M for Merger for a bomb specialist, but they gave her an "out-of-office reply". Courtney was angered by this, claiming that "no one gives Courtney an out-of-office reply". But throughout most of Total Drama Action, her lawyers help Courtney and give her advantages in challenges.

DJ
Courtney and DJ were on the same team (the Killer Bass) in Total Drama Island, where they normally got along. However, there were several instances where Courtney has still gotten mad at DJ, despite DJ's kind demeanor. In Not Quite Famous, after DJ auditions with his ribbon twirling act, Courtney signs him up for the talent show but has some displeasure in her voice when doing so. In The Sucky Outdoors, Courtney sends DJ out to find food for the rest of the team while in the survival challenge. When DJ comes back, he's holding a bunny, which everyone mistakes to be the food he caught. DJ tells the team that he's keeping it as a pet, and Courtney frowns upon this, saying that the team will have to eat grubs and berries for dinner. Arguably the biggest conflict between Courtney and DJ came in Phobia Factor. When DJ goes to face his fear (snakes), Courtney tells him that their team needs his point, and she angrily tells him to suck it up, meaning to just face his fear and get it over with. Courtney didn't seem to care about him being scared. Ironically, DJ was able to face his fear, but later, Courtney wasn't able to overcome hers.

During Courtney's hot air balloon pursuit in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, she ends up catching DJ and his team (Cody, Owen, and Tyler) on her balloon. Courtney told them that she would only guarantee their safety if they handed her the million dollar case (which was in the possession of DJ's team at the time). DJ asks if she would actually let them fall to their deaths, to which Courtney easily replied that she would, saying that she didn't like DJ (nor his teammates) very much all along.

Their conflict did not grow much since Courtney did not originally qualify, and by her debut, DJ had quit. Courtney was seen to enjoy eating one of his sandwiches in The Aftermath: II. Both DJ and Courtney advanced to Total Drama World Tour.

Duncan
Even though Courtney and Duncan were a couple, the dysfunctional nature of their relationship often has them at each other's throats as well. This makes their breakup in Total Drama World Tour and Duncan's relationship with his new girlfriend all the more dramatic. See Courtney-Duncan Relationship for more information.

Eva
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Eva criticized Courtney for being too weak in attempting to carry her crate full of supplies, particularly when she complained about "getting a splinter." She proceeded to show Courtney up by lifting up the crate with one hand and telling her to move it. In The Big Sleep, Courtney said that Eva had some serious anger management issues, proceeded to give her a professional one-sided scolding in the confessional, by saying that she would never have a career if she continued being like this. She was one of the six Bass members who was present when Eva lost her temper after the Awake-a-Thon (which was brought on by an event orchestrated by Heather), and easily voted her off. When Eva was eliminated, Courtney tried to give a friendly goodbye, only to have to narrowly avoid a sharp stick thrown at her by Eva. Later on in the series, she mentions that she doesn't like Eva. In the following episode, however, she admitted that she was regretful of voting out Eva due to her athletic skills, which could have helped them in the challenge. Ironically, the team still won the challenge that day.

Ezekiel
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Ezekiel makes sexist comments on how boys are better than girls. Though not shown on-screen, Courtney was probably offended by this comment. She most likely voted him off that night. Both were in the final two of the first elimination ceremony that night, creating one of the most suspenseful elimination ceremonies ever in the series so far. She also knocked him out with a lamppost in Haute Camp-ture after Ezekiel told her to chill with all the complaining she was doing about her "unfair" elimination.



Geoff
In The Aftermath: II, Geoff unfairly teases Courtney about the secret clip of Gwen and Duncan wrestling to the ground, but other than that their are no other signs of conflict since Geoff didn't qualify for Total Drama World Tour.

Gwen
Throughout much of Total Drama Island, not much interaction occurred between the two girls (aside from a minor conflict in Dodgebrawl) due to them being on different teams. In Haute Camp-ture, she also constantly complains that Gwen was never a team player while the other campers tell her she is wrong. However, in Total Drama Action, Courtney accused Gwen of stealing Duncan away from her. By episode Slap Slap Revolution of Total Drama World Tour, the conflict seems resolved and the girls have developed a sort of friendship until Greece's Pieces where Tyler told everyone that Gwen and Duncan kissed, causing her to hate Gwen. See Courtney-Gwen Conflict for more information.

Harold
During her time on Total Drama Island, Courtney constantly scolded her fellow teammate Harold for his mistakes. When Courtney discovered that Harold was behind her elimination, she searched for him almost all day at the Playa Des Losers in Haute Camp-ture, eventually finding him and beating him senseless. Later in the same episode, when it came time for the losers to vote on who they wanted to win, Courtney blackmailed Harold into voting for Duncan, saying that she would post all of his love letters to LeShawna on the Internet. He then told her that he would vote for Duncan, then snickered and whispered, "Not!" Shortly after, when Courtney accidentally voted for LeShawna, Harold claimed that she was voting off his girlfriend to spite him, just as he did to Duncan when he got Courtney eliminated. She denied this, but Harold didn't believe her, and the two proceeded to have a slap fight, eventually falling into the pool.

Despite the conflict being fairly tense in the first season, the conflict between the two seems to have faded away by the time she returns to compete in Total Drama Action. See Courtney-Harold Conflict for more information.

Heather
Although these two are similar in that they're both antagonists who have an obsession with winning, they strongly dislike each other. At one point, Courtney had disapproved of Heather's tactics, but having adopted many of Heather's traits, their conflict is now largely competitive by nature. Courtney laughed at Heather in Basic Straining when Owen fell on her. In the theme song of Total Drama World Tour, the two are seen glaring suspiciously at each other in the human pyramid. Both are put on Team Amazon in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1. However, Courtney & Heather constantly bicker during Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. It is also revealed that Courtney does not trust Heather in this episode. In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan Courtney and Heather, along with Gwen kept bickering through the whole episode. In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better Heather kept whipping Courtney during the challenge when she had to pull the sled. In the confessional, Courtney states that Heather is so gonna get it. She even complained about the whipping in the next episode. See Everyone-Heather Conflict or Courtney-Heather Conflict for more information.

Izzy
It is unknown if Courtney has a conflict with Izzy. In the first episode she helped her get out of the water after she fell and slammed into the dock. In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island she tried to steal a vine from her in her attempt to recover the $1,000,000. Some time later, when Courtney did have the case, Izzy fell from a tree and landed on Courtney's head, stealing the case from her again. Courtney proceeded to chase after Izzy and her team, but they managed to outsmart her and double back while she kept running, eventually slamming into a fake forest wall. They haven't interacted much otherwise.

Justin
Although Courtney was impressed by his looks in the first episode of Total Drama Island, they didn't interact much due to being on different teams. However, in Total Drama Action, the two began to interact upon Courtney's return to competition in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, where Justin was the first person to feel Courtney's wrath. Courtney is infuriated by Justin's laziness in the challenge, and calls him useless. She also calls him, as well as the rest of her team, "complete duds". However, she seems to tolerate his presence in the next few episodes as she tried to get on her team's good side by cheering them on in challenges.

In The Princess Pride, Justin began to wonder how Courtney was "kicking butt" in the challenges. Though he tried to coax her "secrets" to winning out of her, he ended up infuriating her by implying that she had "deformities." Later, he described Courtney as feisty, which he likes a lot. This possibly indicates that Justin was beginning to have a slight attraction to Courtney. He later falls heads-over-heels in love with her following Princess Courtney's musical performance, which made Duncan angry. After vying for Courtney's affection with Duncan (in which Courtney seemed to favor Justin over Duncan), Justin reaches her and the two almost kiss, but Chris announces that the two would engage in a sword fight for immunity instead. She knocked him off the tower she was standing on top of, sending him falling to the ground where he sustained numerous injuries. Courtney was not the least bit upset when Justin was eliminated in the same episode, and when Chris joked that Duncan was voted off, Courtney is outraged (because she still has feelings for Duncan, though she won't admit it) and argues that Justin should have been eliminated instead. In a confessional following Justin's elimination, she states that she was only using him as part of her strategy to win, indicating that she had no actual feelings for him.

Lindsay
Lindsay has one of the worst conflicts with Courtney on Total Drama Action. For more information, see the Courtney-Lindsay Conflict page.

LeShawna
Courtney and LeShawna rarely interacted with each other onscreen during Total Drama Island. However, in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, LeShawna said that Courtney had told her about how Duncan found a new pet bunny for DJ after his old one died. This implied that, what little time they spent together, they could have been good friends, since Courtney originally promised Duncan that she would not tell anyone about this. In Haute Camp-ture, Courtney said that she couldn't say anything bad about LeShawna. This changes when she returns in Total Drama Action, as the two begin to show an evident dislike for each other. After Courtney returned, LeShawna warned the Killer Grips to watch their backs, since Courtney was sure to make things hard for them.

In One Million Bucks, B.C., LeShawna becomes severely agitated when Courtney again brings up her C.I.T again experience during the caveman challenge, remarking that they were on a movie set, not a summer camp. In Million Dollar Babies, Courtney becomes angry at LeShawna after she states in her video how Courtney "always dragged Duncan around by his eyebrow-ring" when she was in the competition before. In Super Hero-ld, LeShawna drags Courtney outside after being woken up. Courtney states in the confessional that she's "had it up to here with LeShawna" after LeShawna called her "Aged Cheddar Chick" due to her awful cheese stench following her trip to the cheese factory. Courtney is able to convince Harold to vote off LeShawna in that episode because of what she said about them in Million Dollar Babies, which he reluctantly does. Courtney is seen smiling when LeShawna did not receive the last Gilded Chris Award at the elimination ceremony, meaning that she was happy and satisfied with her elimination. In The Aftermath: III, LeShawna calls Courtney "cut-throat" for convincing Harold to vote her off, but despite this she isn't very hostile towards Courtney. In The Princess Pride, LeShawna calls Courtney a "skinny rich girl", and is offended when Harold listens to one of her Princess Courtney CDs.

Noah
They never talked to each other since Noah was the third person voted off and they were on separate teams. However, in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, when Chris suggests that the campers might be able to befriend each other, Courtney smiles at Noah. However, in Haute Camp-ture, when Noah tells her to get over being voted off, she throws a glass at his head, causing him to fall into the pool. However, in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, while the characters camp outside the Gemmie Studio, Courtney can be seen sleeping with her head leaning back against Noah's shoulder and in Jamaica Me Sweat, Courtney winces in sympathy when Owen lands on Noah.

Owen
Owen could possibly be the most noted enemy of Courtney during her time on Total Drama Action. Owen was called a "dud" by Courtney and voted against her in the elimination ceremony in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine. However, this ended with his elimination instead, as Courtney had immunity for that episode. She blamed him for costing the team the challenge (which he technically didn't even do) and voted him off. This greatly distressed all of the other Grips, due to their unanimous like of Owen, and only secured their hatred for her in return. Although the two were not exactly on good terms, Owen admits on The Aftermath: III that he really isn't that angry about his elimination, as he is not good at holding grudges.

When Owen returned in Rock n' Rule, Courtney was enraged because he got voted out "fair and square," although she dropped the issue when Chris stated that Owen filed a lawsuit to get back onto the show and won (which was subsequently revealed to be untrue by Owen in the confessional). When Lindsay asked Owen, Beth, and Harold to join her for voting Duncan off the show, Owen didn't want to (since Duncan was his friend) and instead chose to vote off Courtney, even though she won invincibility. The reason he chose to vote Courtney off was because he was bitter about his first elimination, albeit mildly, and despite him saying the exact opposite in The Aftermath: III. In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Owen struggled with his new role as a saboteur for Chris. After Courtney noticed him giving pointers to Duncan and Harold, Courtney remarked on how it was unfair and tried to get Owen to give her and Beth advice as well, which Owen eventually did out of guilt. In Top Dog, Courtney found out about Owen's sabotaging and called him a cheater; she tried to vote him off again, but she was voted off instead. However, Chris subsequently fired Owen, resulting in the second double elimination in Total Drama Action.

Ironically, Owen was the first camper to greet Courtney in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, and he did it in a very friendly matter. Courtney was likewise friendly and polite to him during that short exchange, at least until she became distracted by Justin.

In Jamaica Me Sweat when the Total Drama Jumbo Jet fell on top of Owen and Izzy, Courtney tried pull an injured Owen out from under the Jet. This indicates their conflict may have somewhat cooled off.

Sadie and Katie
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Courtney tried to comfort Sadie about being on a different team then Katie. In The Sucky Outdoors, Courtney didn't seem to care about the welfare of Sadie once she and Katie were lost in the woods and Courtney claimed that they were eaten by wolves in order to win the challenge for their team. While Katie's conflict with Courtney did not change, Sadie had brought the conflict to a whole new level in Who Can You Trust? when Courtney and Sadie were paired for the same challenge, the William Tell blind challenge, which involved one partner sling shooting an apple towards an arrow placed on the other partner's head. Sadie constantly shot apples at Courtney without knocking the arrow off her head, injuring Courtney greatly. Even when Chris announced the challenge to be over Sadie continued shooting obliviously. Courtney tried to tell Sadie the same thing, but Sadie, out of her own anger, refused to listen and continued shooting, eventually hitting Courtney right in the head. As a result, a severely injured Courtney had to be sent to the infirmary, but not before moaning that Sadie would go down. Sadie was voted off and a satisfied Courtney waved goodbye. Sadie then calls the rest of her team "marshmallow eating freaks," including Courtney. In The Aftermath: I, Courtney is seen to be annoyed at Katie and Sadie's requests to be Trent's girlfriend.

Shark
In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, as the losers of the challenge, Courtney and Beth have to cook a dinner out of fish. To form an alliance with Beth, Courtney agrees to do it herself and has to wrestle the killer fish herself, including the shark. In Top Dog, Courtney chooses the shark as her animal partner. In the first part of the challenge, they get into a fight and Courtney fails to receive a score. In the second part of the challenge, Courtney once again fights with her shark. The shark threatens to crush her PDA. Later, the shark calls even more sharks and Courtney fights them all, only to be tricked into falling off of a waterfall when she grabs for her PDA.

Sierra
She was amazed with Sierra's basket weaving abilities in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. Courtney does compare Sierra as a raccoon going through trash in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan while Sierra was going through Cody's backpack. In The Am-AH-Zon Race, when Sierra commented that Gwen's snoring was making her crazy, Courtney added that it was making Sierra "crazier". Sierra votes with Courtney and Gwen to eliminate Heather in the same episode.

In Can't Help Falling in Louvre Courtney comforted Sierra as she cried over Cody vote for her in the last episode but fails to reassure. However, in Newf Kids on the Rock, Courtney gets frustrated while Sierra rows the boat with Cody, so Courtney yells at the two of them to row faster.

In Greece's Pieces, Sierra showed notable annoyance throughout the episode when people were calling Cody weak, especially Courtney. Sierra finally snapped when Courtney insulted Cody's lack of strength, calling him pipsqueak. Sierra hears this and, ceasing her beating up Owen, turns on Courtney and attacks her, ignoring the fact they're on the same team. Near the end of their fight, Courtney and Sierra have each other in a headlock, refusing to let go until a lack of oxygen causes both of them to faint. However, after Courtney discovers that Gwen had kissed Duncan, Sierra quickly helps Courtney's cause, ordering Cody to lose the challenge so that Gwen can be voted out.

In Picnic at Hanging Rock Sierra voted for Gwen, as part of her deal with Courtney to eliminate Gwen.

While fighting with Heather in Sweden Sour she hits Courtney's head by accident. Sierra voted for Courtney to be kicked off.

Tom
Tom was recording Courtney's audition, and thus caught the very first signs of Courtney's true nature, even before she was on the show: antagonistic, and always attempting to cover up her true colors. When Courtney mixed up her audition speech with her student council speech, she asked him if he can start all over, to which Tom shook the camera side-to-side in a gesture for no. She gets mad and asks why. With obvious hints of annoyance in his voice, he says, "I mean I have to get to gym class." She then gets mad and places her hand on the camera lens, which fuzzes everything up. When the camera finally turns back on, she says "You are so not going to be my secretary if I win!", then attempts to end it nicely by saying, "Vote for Courtney!"

Trent
Trent was one of two Grips not to be present throughout her return. In Haute Camp-ture, she talked to Trent about Gwen being smart but not good at working in a group. Courtney states in The Aftermath: I that Trent chooses to be a loser on his own (in her opinion). But later, she wanted to change her opinion. Many fans have also created a relationship between the two, given his breakup with Gwen and Gwen's alleged relationship with Duncan.

Tyler
In Dodgebrawl she yells at him for not being able to hit anyone on the other team except for Lindsay who he then rushes over to see if she's okay, which results in him getting out (as Trent hits him with a dodgeball). In Phobia Factor, Courtney stood up for Tyler after some of her teammates made fun of him. In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, she said that she will let him drop to his death along with his alliance. In The Ex-Files, Courtney, upon the advice of Alejandro, flirts with Tyler in order to make Duncan jealous. Tyler is not interested, however. At the end of the episode, Courtney becomes furious that the team voted off Tyler instead of Duncan, and after Tyler asks if there is going to be a re-vote, Courtney kicks him off the plane.

Trivia

 * It should be noted that the majority of Courtney's conflicts are due to her overreacting to one-time incidents, both accidental and intentional.
 * Courtney's conflicts with Trent, Tyler, Ezekiel, DJ, Cody, Justin and Noah are one-sided on her side.
 * Despite her conflict with just about everyone, she holds stable friendships with Bridgette and doesn't seem to have a conflict with Geoff.
 * The only person (aside from Duncan) that Courtney had a conflict with but was later able to patch things up with and befriend was Gwen, whom she befriends in episode Slap Slap Revolution of Total Drama World Tour. Ironically, this was originally Courtney's biggest conflict in the show. However, they are enemies again as of Greece's Pieces.
