Courtney

Courtney, labeled The Type A, was a camper from Total Drama Island on the Killer Bass team. Although she was originally unqualified for Total Drama Action, she later returned to the show in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine (due to a lawsuit) on the Killer Grips, and was competing as the central antagonist for the second half of the season. She returns in her old role as an anti-hero for Total Drama World Tour and is currently a member of Team Amazon.

Biography
Courtney is very excited to be a part of Total Drama Island. She thinks it's the perfect stepping-stone on her path to greatness and success. She's a huge fan of competition. She's already a published author having written the award-winning book Total Triumph for Teens. Courtney has immense respect for anyone in authority; parents, teachers, the local crossing guard. In return, they all think she's a really sweet girl. She puts on a good face after all. Courtney also prides herself on politeness and courtesy because you'll never know who you'll meet on your way up the ladder of success, and Courtney plans to reach the top! While she feels strongly that we need rules in society for it to run smoothly, she also believes that you need to break the rules to get things done (or win). The theory is most evident that her bed room is covered with trophies, ribbons, and plaques. She has never lost anything in her life. Her motto is "If you can't come in first don't come in at all." This is why she joined Total Drama Island, she feels it's a smaller version of the world. If she can win there than it proves she can win in life, which she already has, so she'll definitely, but still she'd like the $100,000 to prove it. When asked if she looks forward to meeting new friends as part if the experience, Courtney said she already has enough friends.

Total Drama Island
Courtney thinks of herself as a born leader, not letting others have a chance. She quickly took over the role as the leader of the Killer Bass once the teams were formed. Although she is extremely bossy, competitive, and critical, she can also be genuinely civil and polite to her fellow campers, and unlike Heather, she does not resort to making alliances (although she did form a temporary one with Beth in Total Drama Action) and then just dumping them. Due to her haughty personality though, Courtney usually overestimates her own abilities and underestimates the abilities of others, especially her own teammates. Being an overachiever, she does have a tendency to overreact when things go wrong and often reminds everyone of her CIT experience when the others begin to question her judgment during challenges.

During the first challenge in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, she is one of the three people who refused to jump off the cliff into shark-infested water, saying her refusal to participate in the challenge is a calculated risk, as she underestimates the Screaming Gophers team, assuming most of them will be too afraid to jump, thus giving her team the win. However, because she refused to jump, she was forced to wear a chicken hat for the entire day along with fellow camper DJ, who has a fear of heights. Courtney is stricken with bad luck with the first challenge; she gets a swollen eye due to an allergic reaction to a bee sting and despite her leadership skills, her team fails to properly build a hot tub. Afterward, the other Killer Bass members considered voting her off due to her attitude and refusal to jump off the cliff, finding DJ (the other one who did not jump) as more of an asset to the team in future challenges (Duncan says he'd rather have DJ than her). However, coincidentally, Ezekiel made some sexist comments about his fellow female team members and he picked his nose in public, which results in him getting eliminated and Courtney getting the last marshmallow. Despite her rough start, Courtney eventually manages to play the game well (even befriending Bridgette and some others).

Courtney tries to outlast the other campers in The Big Sleep by running in place. She is the twelfth or thirteenth to fall asleep. Courtney really takes the leadership role of her team in Dodgebrawl. She instructs them as they are playing the game. She does, perhaps unintentionally, insult some of her fellow campers (commenting on how useless Tyler and Harold were, and referring to the other team's Cody as an "easy out"). She also uses her role as leader to inform Duncan that he will be eliminated if he does not contribute to the challenge. Despite her underestimation of Harold, he wins the game for the Killer Bass in the end.

As revealed in Not Quite Famous, Courtney has a talent for playing the violin. Despite Harold's win for the Bass in the previous episode, Courtney refuses to let him participate in the talent show. When left with no other options, she agrees to allow him to participate. Harold again wins the challenge for his team. In Phobia Factor, Courtney insisted that she was not afraid of anything. She tried to help her teammates face their fears by telling them that fear is only in the mind. She did successfully encourage DJ to overcome his fear of snakes, and she helped Duncan to overcome his fear of Celine Dion music store standees. As her turn came to dive into a vat of green jelly, Chris revealed that she would earn her team triple points if she performed her task. She did not overcome her fear, which was the main thing that caused her team to lose the challenge. Luckily for her, she was not eliminated in this episode.

Courtney has a relationship with Duncan. At first Courtney seems to view Duncan as a troublemaker who is hard to work with, getting annoyed, uptight, and paranoid whenever he starts causing trouble. She always criticizes him on his actions (which he actually seems to enjoy). However, through her criticism, she secretly forms a crush on him. Romantic sparks start to fly when Duncan begins to flirt with her, obviously attracted to her. In Basic Straining, Courtney goes against her usual mentality of following the rules. She tells her team she is going to check on Duncan, who was punished with solitary confinement in the boathouse for disobeying Chef. Her team teases her by saying she likes Duncan, but she still won’t admit it. She goes to the boathouse, where she and Duncan talk for some time. Duncan finally convinces Courtney to break some rules, and the two of them steal real food from Chef's kitchen for themselves and their fellow campers. Through this experience, Courtney begins to get a thrill out of breaking the rules and starts to genuinely have fun. While the other campers are eating the stolen goods, Courtney reaches for another s'more, after many, we assume. Bridgette tells her that she had enough, but Courtney refuses to listen. Already filled to bursting, she then shoves the s'more in her mouth, while wearing a self-satisfied smile, then gives an almighty belch. She soon runs out of the cabin to puke. Duncan follows her out, commenting on her "dark" side. Though Courtney says Duncan is still not her type, she quickly grabs him and kisses him after the two of them wish each other the best in their contrasting lifestyles. Duncan happily complies to this, kissing her back. Courtney's personality changes drastically after this, developing a greater sense of humor, and focusing less on following the rules and winning challenges. However, her team loses in this episode, and at the following Campfire ceremony, Courtney is voted off due to Harold (who spotted Duncan and Courtney kissing) rigging the votes to get revenge on Duncan for all the pranks he's pulled.

Courtney objects to her elimination as Chef and Chris drag her to the Boat of Losers. Duncan, DJ and Geoff are left dumbfounded as they know for a fact that they did not vote Courtney off, making it highly unlikely that she would be eliminated (as they had not considered nor figured out that the votes were tampered with). Before the boat is out of sight, Duncan rushes to the dock and throws Courtney a miniature skull he made for her and waves goodbye. Courtney finds it weird and creepy, but loves it nonetheless and promises she will never forget Duncan. When she returns in the final episode, she seems more like her old self. However, she shows signs of change (when she says danger is "kinda hot") as she and Duncan kiss several times (though she still claims that he is not her type and he says she makes him sick).

In the episode Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Courtney is shown to be feeling despondent about losing her lawsuit against the show's producers for wrongful termination. However, after Chris announces the million dollar challenge, her mood improves drastically and she kisses Duncan deeply after pulling him out from the pile of people. She teams up with Duncan for the challenge. She is shown to be more ruthless than before in this episode, obsessed with winning the money to the point that she's even willing to leave Duncan behind when he sprains his ankle and is unable to continue. She promised she would still split the money with him, but admitted that she did not want Duncan slowing her down. While she is trying to escape with the money, she slammed into a large mirror, and discovered that they are not really on an island. Chris then sent an intern to retrieve her, but she stole his hot air balloon to help her get the case back. She soon caught Owen, Tyler, DJ, and Cody (who had the case at the time) on a microphone, demanding the case in exchange for their safety. She threatened that she would let them fall to their deaths if they did not do otherwise. She eventually stole the case, but once again lost it due to the bear interfering. Courtney then wound up on the diving board with Owen, Cody, Tyler, LeShawna, DJ, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, and Geoff. After an airplane crashed into the diving board's ladder and support beam, breaking it, the board fell off its stand, causing some of the campers to fall on the broken plane wing and slide over towards the dock. However, Courtney was amongst the campers who fell in the pool below and was unable to make to the dock in time, and therefore was not allowed to compete for the money next season. However, near the end of the episode, Courtney foreshadowed in a confessional that she would not give up so easily, implying that she would launch a whole new lawsuit against the show as a result of this.

Total Drama Action
Courtney is a latecomer to the competition. Due to the fact that she didn't make it to the Dock of Shame with the fourteen winners who qualified for the second season, she was unable to join them on the set. For the first half of the season, she is only seen with the other non-returning campers in the Aftermath episodes. However she makes numerous attempts off-screen to get back on the show, as she felt like she was cheated out of the opportunity to compete. Eventually, she manages to win a lawsuit against the producers of the show and returns to competition in the episode Ocean's Eight - Or Nine. Courtney this season seems to take up a new antagonist role, as her lawsuit victory granted her unfair advantages over the other castmates. As a result, she is hated by nearly everyone (including Chris) on the set. Courtney also sports a slightly different personality; she is shown to be edgier and much more competitive and aggressive than in the first season, as well as becoming increasingly litigation-obsessed (making threats to call her attorneys whenever she doesn't get her way). Courtney also shows a large number of unexpected skills never displayed by her before (such as martial arts and guitar skills). Despite their relationship, Courtney and Duncan are the worst of enemies this season; Courtney is angry at Duncan as she falsely accuses him of hooking up with Gwen (which both Duncan and Gwen deny as having happened), while Duncan struggles to avoid the same fate as Trent when Gwen was on the opposing team. Nonetheless, the two clearly have feelings for each other, which is often conflicted with their competitiveness. Courtney also takes up the role of Lindsay's personal antagonist (similar to Duncan and Harold). Courtney hates Lindsay for being popular with the other castmates (believing her to be clearly dumb) and Lindsay hates Courtney for overshadowing her own leadership skills. As a result, the two are always fighting on the set (though the conflict is mainly on Courtney's end than Lindsay's).

Courtney appears in the The Aftermath: I with the non-returning and eliminated characters. She is shown trying to sue the show again, possibly for having been deemed unable to compete in the second season as a result of the events of the special. At the beginning of the episode, when the characters are taking sides on the Gwen/Trent breakup situation, Courtney is initially on Team Gwen. She says it is not because she likes Gwen, but because she considers Trent a "loser by choice". However, after Trent comes on the show and explains the real reason behind his obsession of the number nine, she sides with Trent (along with Katie and Sadie). When Trent explains how his relationship with Gwen went downhill on account of her budding friendship with Duncan, Courtney becomes extremely angry and jealous, determined to take her anger out on Duncan when she eventually makes her way into the competition.

Courtney appears in The Aftermath: II, where it is revealed that she has been advised not to comment on the season due to her lawsuit. She is extremely angry with Gwen from the beginning of the episode, as she had wrongly suspected that Gwen stole Duncan from her. As Gwen entered the stage, Courtney's booing was noticeably audible. After Courtney confronted her about the issue, Gwen insisted that she and Duncan are just friends, and that Duncan is still "all about Courtney". They then show a clip of Duncan and Gwen looking at the stars on a bridge. While Gwen begins to use the constellations to poke fun at Harold, Duncan stares into the sky, wondering if Courtney is looking at the stars also. The clip stops there at first, and Courtney's face softens and she smiles. The clip then continues at Geoff's suggestion, and ends with Duncan on top of Gwen after having playfully wrestled, a mere inch or two from her lips. This clip only angers Courtney further, and she storms off the stage, announcing that she is going to consult her lawyer. Since it was a "Truth or Anvil" segment where Gwen said that she and Duncan were just friends, it's strongly implied that she was telling the truth, as no anvil fell after she said those words.

Courtney returns to the competition in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, first appearing as the bank teller in the first challenge. As the bank teller, Courtney was allowed to choose the winner of the first challenge. She awarded the prize (a "bag of loot") to an unnerved Duncan and the Screaming Gaffers. However, Chris announced that he was going to award the Killer Grips a "consolation prize" for coming in second place - Courtney herself. She immediately assumes leadership of the team, but quickly earns the scorn of the Grips due to her desire to win and her bossy attitude. However, she does not seem to care what they think of her. At the Gilded Chris Awards Ceremony, she did not receive an award, as her lawyer made her immune to elimination for this episode. Despite this, the other Grips still voted for her to leave, so only her vote ended up counting. With her vote, Owen was eliminated from the team, much to the dismay of the other Grips.

In One Million Bucks, B.C. she becomes easily hated, especially amongst the other girls. Before the challenge, Chris says due to Courtney's lawyers, she is allowed to have a PDA and eat with the crew. Everyone soon complains about that. Courtney tries to quiet them down by saying she will still sleep in the trailers like everyone else. Chris, wanting to cause drama, says that she gets special sheets and her own private bathroom. Duncan teases Courtney by saying she can't win unless she cheats. Courtney again falsely accuses Duncan of cheating on her with Gwen and says that she can beat Duncan's "two-timing butt" with her hands tied behind her back. In the first part of the challenge, Courtney brings up her CIT experience again, annoying LeShawna. Courtney and Duncan have a stare down when making the fire for the challenge, both determined to beat each other. When Duncan made fire, Courtney complained that the flint she had was fake and impossible to make a fire with, which Lindsay proved wrong. Before the second part of the challenge, Courtney hits Duncan in the head with a bone before Chris got the chance to fully explain the rules. Courtney and Duncan are forced to fight on a single platform because prehistoric beavers destroyed the other platform. Courtney struggled to find balance on the platform and accidentally kissed Duncan. In the confessional, Courtney says that Duncan has a strong animal magnetism, but still makes her want to hit him where it hurts. Courtney knocks Duncan off the platform (by hitting him in the crotch with her bone) and wins for her team. Courtney is later shown in the confessional eating lobster and stating that Duncan got what was coming to him.

In Million Dollar Babies, Courtney starts acting nicer towards her teammates, having cheered them on during the challenges. However, she remains bitter with Duncan and continues to spar with him. Courtney becomes upset with Beth after Beth uses her PDA to access hidden footage of LeShawna talking trash about her fellow competitors. Courtney herself was mentioned by LeShawna as having "dragged Duncan around by his eyebrow ring" when she was around before, something which Courtney takes exception to. Chris later arranges for Duncan and Courtney to face each other in a Greco-Roman wrestling match (and having it take place in a kiddie ball pit). Although Duncan tried not to throw the challenge for her, she ends up winning handily anyway. In the end, Courtney and her team once again prevailed over the Screaming Gaffers.

In Dial M for Merger, Courtney gets worried about Duncan when he is knocked into a pit, calling him "Dunky" in the process. When she is by the pit, she ends up getting hit and K.O.'d herself. After everyone wakes up in a mysterious cavern, she can't find her PDA until Beth is shown to have picked it up. Courtney takes back the PDA, giving Beth an "I'm watching you" sign to signal her distrust for Beth. Courtney shows in this episode that she has a few martial arts skills, as she does an impressive flying kick to break the glass around a vase during the challenge. Courtney also blackmails all the contestants by promising to save them from an exploding building in exchange for half the prize money if anybody other than her won the competition. Courtney again tries to cheat during the deactivating a bomb challenge by contacting her lawyers to get her the best experts at disarming a bomb. Unfortunately, she is unable to reach her lawyers and is forced to deactivate it herself. Following Lindsay's example, she cuts the blue wire after Lindsay successfully deactivated her bomb by having done the same. The other castmates do the same, but discover that not all the bombs are set up the same way. The bombs go off, covering everyone in a horrible smell. The deal she made earlier in the episode was undone shortly afterwards, as the other castmates blackmailed her back in exchange for soaking in the tomato juice pool (in order to get the smell out of her). Despite this, Courtney and Lindsay won the reward, as they each solved a challenge in the episode. Courtney was disappointed in the reward though, which turned out to be a tour of a local cheese factory with Lindsay. She tried to get out of it by contacting her lawyers, but she couldn't reach them.

In Super Hero-ld, it is shown in the episode recap that Courtney reluctantly took the tour of the local cheese factory alongside Lindsay. Lindsay is so excited that she starts hugging Courtney, much to the latter's intense annoyance. For this episode's challenge, Courtney creates a costume and takes the identity "the Human Cricket" (and thanks to some steel plates on her legs, her superpower is making a highly annoying sound). Courtney manages to win invincibility in the second challenge due to managing to complete the obstacle course the fastest. The guys (with the exception of Duncan) and the girls want to vote her off, but know they can't due to her invincibility. After some convincing by Duncan, Courtney manages to talk Harold into voting for LeShawna's elimination, telling him that the girls will eliminate him if he doesn't. Harold votes for LeShawna and she is eliminated, breaking Harold's heart.

It's revealed in The Aftermath: III that Courtney has a secret camera on her PDA and films her fellow castmates. Geoff calls it the Courtney Cam.

In The Princess Pride, Courtney refused to partake in the biggest burrito contest that was hosted by Duncan. She calls her fellow castmates "infected" with "reality-show-itis," a condition which causes people to make challenges out of mundane tasks and lose sight of the goal. After the challenge theme was announced, Courtney forcefully put her foot in a glass boot and it barely fit. Chris dubbed her as princess for the day and to avoid another lawsuit. Later on during the episode, Duncan and Justin fight over Courtney, both having been entranced by her beautiful singing voice. So they fight to get to the top of an ivory tower to save "Princess Courtney." Justin reaches her first as a result of a temporary alliance with Harold. However, Chris pits Justin and Courtney against each other in a sword fight, with the winner gaining invincibility. Justin, having fallen in love with Courtney, states that he refuses to fight her. He then puckers his lips in anticipation of a kiss from her for this act of chivalry. However, Courtney pushes him off the tower with her sword to win the challenge. During the Gilded Chris ceremony, Courtney becomes very upset when it's announced that Duncan was getting voted off, since she still has feelings for him. However, Chris reveals that he was just kidding, and that Justin was actually the one getting voted off.

In Get a Clue, Courtney starts demanding a prize after every portion of the challenge. Courtney is the castmate who finds Chris in the safe from Ocean's Eight - Or Nine. The first challenge is collecting prints and hairs; Courtney is the first to succeed as she gets Lindsay's. She later also collects prints and hair from Duncan, claiming that she did it simply for fun in his case. When turning in their collected prints and hairs, Courtney whines for a prize. Desperate to shut her up, Chris gives Courtney his cheese puffs. When Chris is seemingly murdered on the train, Courtney tells everyone it's all fake and even sends Duncan up to check the train, wooing him to do so by whispering encouragement in his ear. However, the train turns out to be real. Courtney still tries to prove it's all fake by kicking the "dead" Chris. Duncan is believed to be the murderer by every contestant except Courtney and is handcuffed to the wall. Lindsay finds fake clues that point to Courtney being the killer and Chris reveals the dead body is just rubber and he set Courtney up. Lindsay is proclaimed the winner, angering Courtney. Lindsay is rewarded with a night at the movies with a friend. In an attempt to get Courtney jealous, Lindsay picks Duncan. Courtney then throws a fit in the confession booth, claiming that she doesn't care about Lindsay's choice of contestant, yet she obviously does.

In Rock n' Rule, Courtney was the only castmate who was angered by Owen's return and tried to threaten Chris with her lawyer again. However, she stopped after Chris lied and said that Owen filed a lawsuit too. Throughout the episode, Courtney was eager to win every challenge, but loses each time. In the first challenge, Courtney displayed many tricks on a guitar, however, she lost to Duncan because Chris deemed her to have tried "too hard", which to him is uncharacteristic of a real rock star. After Duncan teased her about it, she hit him in the crotch with her guitar. Courtney lost the second challenge as well, this time to Lindsay. She lost because she attempted to avoid the paparazzi entirely, which Chris said prevented celebrity exposure. She finally won the final challenge of the day, in which she had to trash a hotel room. She became especially aggressive and took her rage out on the entire hotel set, completely destroying it. As a result of winning the final challenge, she won invincibility again. She was later shocked (along with the rest of the castmates) when she found out that Lindsay accidentally voted herself off and got herself eliminated.

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Courtney tries to convince Beth to form an alliance with her. At first, Beth realizes what Courtney is planning to do, and refuses. During the challenge, Courtney and Beth had to work together to defeat the boys in a "martial arts" challenge, but ultimately lose and are forced out of the challenge early. Chef later has Beth and Courtney prepare Kung-Fu Noodle Soup that was being offered as that night's reward. However, the ingredients of the soup consist of the "seven deadliest species of fish known to man," all of which attack and torment Courtney in her repeated attempts to cook them. As Courtney struggles, Beth mockingly plays with Courtney's PDA, which Courtney allows in an attempt to get Beth to form an alliance with her. That night, the two girls serve the winner (Harold) his reward, and finally seal their alliance together.

In 2008: A Space Owen, Courtney's gift from home was a picture of her winning a debate (even after her partner walked out on her). She called Duncan a "gross hairy creature" in the confessional, jealous that he was paying more attention to his pet tarantula Scruffy than to her. Her and Beth's quick thinking in the first challenge gave them power to choose the order of the contestants in the next challenge. She thought making herself last would help her because she would see everyone else go before her - and likely fail. But she soon realized that her going last meant that she would have to ride the Vomit Comet when it could be filled with barf, which Beth tried to warn her about earlier. She comforted Duncan when Scruffy was accidentally killed by Harold. Her alliance with Beth was broken by the end of the episode after Beth refused to forfeit the challenge with her. Beth subsequently won invincibility, and Courtney and Beth got into a major argument that evening prior to the Gilded Chris ceremony. In the ceremony itself, she received the last Gilded Chris, and Harold was eliminated.

In Top Dog, it's revealed that Courtney and Duncan reconciled as a couple after the two stayed up all night in Courtney's trailer to work out their differences. However, Courtney also made Duncan a 32-page letter that outlines all of his faults and how to correct them, and she expects him to memorize it entirely (much to his chagrin). When it came time to pick an animal for that episode's animal buddy challenge, she chose the shark. While she was trying to train it for the first challenge, Owen made it crazy by pouring blood in the tank. She subsequently got into a fight with the shark, and though she made sashimi out of what it coughed up, she didn't receive a single point for the challenge. During the forest portion of the challenge, she was dumped in a lake, where she was confronted by three angry sharks. She beat up two of them, but the third shark stole her PDA and lured her off a waterfall. After getting back to the trailers and regaining her PDA, she read a message from her lawyers that outed Owen as a traitor. During the Gilded Chris ceremony, Courtney votes for Owen's elimination, but winds up getting voted off herself. After finding out that Duncan voted for her elimination (mostly due to the overbearing rules she was imposing on their relationship), she scolds him for betraying her and breaks up with him. Owen soon joins her in the Lame-o-sine as Chris fired him after his cover was blown, thus eliminating him from the competition too.

Courtney was first mentioned by Duncan in Mutiny on the Soundstage. He brought her up to question Beth's claim that she was everybody's friend. Beth reveals Courtney once had an overbite and that she "wasn't supposed to know that". Later in the episode, Duncan was able to correctly answer the trivia question Chris gave about her. However, Chris tells Duncan that the question he answered was Beth's question. Duncan's question about Courtney was to tell what color she was thinking of at that very moment. Duncan, though indignant at the ridiculous question, took a shot at answering it anyway, and guessed the wrong color (blue). Courtney herself was then shown watching from the Aftermath studio, annoyed that he did not know that the color was burnt sienna.

In The Aftermath: IV, Courtney still bears a grudge against Duncan for voting her off. Nonetheless, she's also shown to be his biggest supporter, even offering an "unbiased" (though obviously rigged for Duncan to win) quiz off to settle the tie, though it's rejected. During Harold's "Hole In The Wall" challenge tie-breaker, Courtney cheers for Duncan. When the former contestants state their opinions on who deserves the money, Courtney doesn't get a chance to say much since Chris cuts her off due to time constraints. When it comes time to vote, Courtney can't get the pen to work and thus only gets a big squirt of ink on her ballot (and her face). Chris counts her vote as a vote for Duncan. When Duncan wins the money, Courtney hugs him in celebration, but Duncan hesitates, saying he won't share his money. Nonetheless Courtney kisses him and says that "every king needs a queen". Duncan happily complies to this and they make out as the episode ends.

In the alternate ending where Beth wins, Duncan asks Courtney out to dinner, to which she accepts. They tease each other as they leave and then Courtney offers to help Duncan sue the show, since she believes that there was "election fraud" and that he should have won the million dollars.

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, it is revealed by the Celebrity Manhunt hosts, Josh and Blaineley, that Duncan and Courtney had a highly-publicized romance following the conclusion of the second season, but broke up after a nasty fight over dinner at a restaurant one night. Courtney then decided to sue Duncan over custody of their pet raccoon, Brittany. Later, as the cast chases down the Total Drama Dirtbags on a bus, Courtney is shown to be the driver. She and Duncan get into a heated argument over who should be driving the bus. However, she and Duncan eventually pause to stare into each other's eyes and they suddenly start making out, effectively getting back together in the process. Unfortunately, this causes Courtney to lose concentration, and the bus veers off the road and over a cliff. The cast is saved by LeShawna's stretching bra, though. While they are falling, she hugs Duncan out of fear, and throughout the rest of the episode she remains by his side. She qualifies to be in Total Drama World Tour. At the end of the episode, she is shown in the confessional expressing worry that Gwen will be a "boyfriend stealer" and try to steal Duncan away from her.

Total Drama World Tour
In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Courtney is the first person to step out of the bus and be introduced by Chris. After she notices Gwen and Duncan grinning at each other after Duncan cracks a joke, she looks at Duncan disapprovingly. Once Chris introduces the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, Courtney states that she'd like to express her concerns about its safety, but Chris assures her that it's perfectly safe. During the Come Fly With Us musical number, Courtney is arguably the happiest while doing it; she leads the others and sings that she's always wanted to sing on TV. When Duncan doesn't sing, Courtney ultimately gets him to do it by pleading with him. In the "Pyramid Over-Under" challenge, Courtney pairs up with Duncan at the start. She prepares a belay for her and Duncan, stating that rock climbing was the team-building challenge when she was a CIT, and that her "superior belay skills" will assure victory for the two of them. However, after Duncan sees Gwen having trouble scaling the pyramid by herself, Duncan tries to get Courtney to invite her into the team (which Courtney reluctantly agrees to, citing that a "three-person belay is stronger"). While climbing the pyramid, Courtney comments on Gwen's "appalling" form of rock climbing, which Gwen sarcastically thanks her for noticing. The two girls bicker the entire time while climbing, much to Duncan's annoyance. Once the trio gets to the top of the pyramid, Gwen and Courtney get into another argument over whether they should untie themselves or not. After Chris shouts at them that the three of them have to sing a reprise of their earlier musical number due to not finishing in time, Duncan snaps and angrily goes down the pyramid, dragging Courtney and Gwen down with him. When Duncan quits, Courtney gasps in shock, disappointed that he's gone from the competition. Near the end of the episode, Courtney is put on a team with Gwen, Heather, Cody, and Izzy which they name Team Amazon.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Heather insults Duncan, saying he probably can't sing, but Courtney corrects her saying he can do anything. Courtney didn't have a solo in Lovin' Time, but she sang back-up with Heather and Gwen. Courtney insults Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, telling them to "Eat sand", Alejandro flirts with her, but Courtney turns him down, because she's with Duncan. Alejandro asks her if Duncan even appreciates her, which made Courtney think about that. Courtney had a small solo in Rowin' Time, along with the rest of her team (except Heather). Courtney and the rest of her team crossed the finish line first, avoiding elimination.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, Courtney is trying to take charge of Team Amazon, much to the disapproval of Gwen and Heather. Courtney has a few solos in Before We Die. Courtney, Gwen and Heather fight about the commercial for the challenge, which ends in the three storming off. She was about to announce her team's failure to make a commercial before Cody interrupts her with a commercial. Team Amazon then win the challenge, with Cody and Sierra incorporating all three ideas.

In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, Courtney and the rest of her team are relaxing in the winners compartment. After everyone lands in the Yukon, Courtney suggests huddling to keep warm. Courtney, along with Heather, were the first of Team Amazon to cross the ice, but Chris said that since the "C" in Courtney's name comes before the "H" in Heather's name, Courtney will pull the sled. Throughout the race, Heather keeps on whipping Courtney with a whip to make her go faster. In the confessional booth, she vows that someday, Heather's going to get it. Courtney and her team sang backup in Stuck to a Pole. Courtney's team crossed the finish line last, which makes Heather cry out that she couldn't believe she did all her work for nothing, to which Courtney responds with an glare since Heather didn't do anything. But since Team Victory didn't have Bridgette with them, Team Amazon came in second place.

In Broadway, Baby!, Courtney and the rest of Team Amazon are sitting in the commercial cabin, complaining. After Courtney brings up the "whipping" to Heather, she and Gwen agreed they would vote Heather off if they lost the challenge. Courtney and her team were the first to get their baby carriage and get down the Statue of Liberty. Courtney sung the beginning of What's Not to Love? and sung more parts throughout the song. Courtney drove the boat for Team Amazon, but they had to turn around because she forgot Cody, Courtney apparently had trouble hearing when she was driving the boat, as Heather told her she forgot Cody and Courtney responded with "What?", because she couldn't hear her. However, Team Amazon won the challenge when Heather switched a real baby carriage with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot's baby carriage. When Heather throws the meat grinder out of the plane, she tries to protest but it doesn't work.

In Slap Slap Revolution, Courtney was sitting next to Gwen, eating chocolates in the winners cabin. Courtney has one solo in Eine Kleine sing talking Heather that she will dance a jig if Heather gets voted off. After Chris tells Team Amazon if they had their meat grinder they could move on in the challenge, Courtney tells Heather they shouldn't have gotten rid of it, but Heather told her she didn't make much of an effort to stop her when she threw it off the plane, which Courtney pokes Heather's chest and calls her a dimwit. Courtney didn't compete in the last challenge, but her team won when Sierra knocked Alejandro off the dance pad. By this episode it seems that both Courtney and Gwen have made up and have devloped a friendship of sorts.

During The Am-AH-Zon Race, Courtney has a relatively minor role, not even singing with her team during their song, something which is a first during this season. At the beginning of the episode, she sarcastically comments that Heather is "looking good", despite her missing tooth. She later fetches the flashlight out of Cody's pocket when they are tied up so they can use the batteries to activate their walkie-talkie. Once they do, she asks Chris for help since Gwen is extremely jittery because she accidentally injected herself with Cody's epipen. By the end of the episode, Courtney makes an alliance along with Gwen and Sierra to vote off Heather but since the elimination was fake, nobody is sent home. When Chris reveals the votes, Courtney as she is voting for Heather she said that is what she always wanted to do, vote Heather out.

In Can't Help Falling In Louvre, Courtney yet again has a relatively small role compared to most her previous ones. Courtney corrects Chris when he mispronounces "louvre" upon arriving to the famed museum. When Chris announces that she and Team Amazon must find Michael Angelo's "David" statue, she claims the statues shouldn't be too hard to find, since they're big and she's good at reading brochure maps. However Chris then announces that Chef has cut the statues to pieces (the real statues that Chef stole from museums across Europe instead of replicas like Chris had told him) and they must find the pieces and put them back together. Courtney helps her team look for the missing statue fragments and while doing so she and Gwen insist that Cody should make up with Sierra because her depression is considerably slowing them down. When Cody initially fails to do so, she and Gwen decide to move on and keep looking while they both sort out their problems alone. She gets annoyed with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot when they threw their pieces in the exact same place at the same time, stating they got, "some of your Venus in our David". While assembling, she points out that the statue is wrong, and the team's pieces are mixed up. Later, they are able to fix it before the other teams and win the challenge. She high fives with Gwen and Heather, as they won invincibility and the first class cabin. She also poses for DJ when he had to chose a model for the runway challenge.

During Newf Kids on the Rock, Courtney's friendship with Gwen continues to progress, as they are sitting together in the beginning of the show, gossiping about Heather. When in the water, Courtney describes her extensive history with synchronized swimming, expressing that she'll be highly helpful in getting Team Amazon to shore. However, she and Gwen stop Team Amazon's boat when they see a far-away rock formation shaped like Duncan. She, along with Gwen, climb up to reach it, but only get disappointed to see that it's not really him. When they come back to the rest of the team after climbing, Sierra tells Courtney that she only saw that rock formation because she really misses Duncan. Courtney agrees, and moments later, looks at Gwen confusedly, wondering why she also thought the rock formation was Duncan. When Team Amazon finally catches up to everyone else, Heather gives all the blame to Courtney. Luckily, Gwen helped Courtney by taking the blame, which surprised Courtney.

During Jamaica Me Sweat, Courtney is first seen in economy class with her team, saying that by the time they get back into first class the members of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot will already have made it "stink like dude". After the plane runs out of fuel and it crashes into a Jamaican beach, Courtney is the first one to realize Owen and Izzy are under it and quickly tries to help them. During the first challenge, Courtney is splashed when Sierra dives into the lake, sending a huge wave up to her and Team Amazon. The wave also leaves an electric eel on her head which (against all laws of nature) zaps her despite being out of the water before Gwen tries to help her and gets zapped as well. During the second challenge she and Heather have to bobsled down Chris' death slide together. At the top Heather asks Courtney is her lawyers told her whether their contracts allow Chris to kill them; Courtney promptly replies her contract which was made during Total Drama Action protects her from deadly stunts but isn't sure if Heather's does. Before Heather can object, Courtney rolls them both down the slide and they make it out at the bottom stunned but relatively unharmed. By the end of the episode, Courtney and Team Amazon end in second place again and have to return to economy class.

In I See London..., Courtney spends the whole episode getting to know Gwen, and discovering they have more in common than she thought. She mentioned doing a 6th grade school project about the Tower of London after Gwen mentioned a Jack the Ripper report she made. The two happily stretched Heather on the torture device, during that challenge. Courtney then makes a confessional admitting that she has started to like Gwen, but is still timid about having a friendship with her, scared that Gwen would hear her say that, she tried to snatch the video tape out of the camera in the confessional. The two work together the rest of the episode, combining their knowledge and skills to win. Later in the episode, Gwen and Courtney arrive to a punk club where they find Duncan and capture him, which causes Team Amazon to win the challenge. Before the elimination she is shown scolding Duncan for "abandoning her", but then hugs him and states that she isn't mad, she just missed him. In Greece's Pieces, Courtney sits next to Gwen on a sofa in first class at the beginning of the episode, elated about Duncan's return. She gushes to Gwen about how excited she is to have Duncan back, and Gwen converses with her uncomfortably, having secretly kissed Duncan behind Courtney's back at the end of the previous episode. Courtney then pulls out a list of things she needs to correct about Duncan, saying he would be "perfect" after she's done with the list. Courtney is then shown in the confessional, expressing how glad she is to have Gwen to talk to, but also showing some suspicion about Gwen's true feelings towards Duncan. Later, as Chris is explaining the episode's challenges, Courtney corrects him and says that the original Olympics were held in Greece and not Rome, causing Chris to change the plane's destination to Greece instead. Shortly afterward, Courtney catches Gwen staring flirtaciously at Duncan and questions Gwen about it, visibly dismayed. Gwen lies and says that she was taking note of his mohawk, stating that Courtney needs to do something about it. Courtney says that while it was originally on the list of flaws to correct about him, she's grown to like it, and that "love can do funny things". When Gwen and Duncan go in to do the first challenge, she is shown to be worried about the two of them being left alone together. Before the pankration challenge, she indirectly insults Cody's scrawny physique, and Sierra demands to fight her as a result, which Chris doesn't allow. During the pankration challenge, Courtney faces Tyler, and easily beats him. However, Team Amazon loses after Courtney insults Cody again, causing Sierra to attack her, which eventually results in a double-knockout. Following the song, Courtney expresses deep worry over Duncan's health when Gwen comes out without him, and when Chris says that Duncan might not be alive, Courtney questions Gwen about her overly concerned reaction. When Tyler is forced by Alejandro prior to the tiebreaking challenge to reveal that he saw Gwen and Duncan kiss, Courtney gets extremely angry at Gwen, lashing out at her for hurting her and betraying her trust. She orders Cody to intentionally lose so that she could vote off Gwen with the help of Heather and Sierra, but due to his feelings for Gwen, Cody wins the challenge to prevent that from happening. Courtney is later seen crying on the plane, with Heather trying in vain to comfort her. At the end of the episode when Chris is signing off, Courtney is heard yelling "I HATE YOU!" at Gwen.

Audition tape
In her audition tape, Courtney tells the camera that she is running for student council president. The tape then cuts to her stating that if selected to compete in Total Drama Island, she promises to conduct herself with honor and integrity. However, she then accidentally mixes up her two speeches by promising to donate two new pop machines for the cafeteria. Then she curses and argues with the cameraman (Tom) when he refuses to tape a re-do.


 * Even though Cartoon Network edited out Courtney's cursing completely on the TV airing, they showed the unedited version of her audition on Cartoon Network's website.

Camp TV
Despite being a major character in the current series, Courtney was one of the four characters who did not appear in the series (along with Izzy, Noah and Heather). While she was not present in the series, Bridgette's old design loosely resembles Courtney due to the fact that the prototype Bridgette has freckles on her face and her eyes look more similar to Courtney's than the relaxed look that the final design of Bridgette has.
