Okay I don't really have the time to debate this.

Ask yourself this, if Heather wasn't in TDI then who would be the antagonist? Same goes for if Scott wasn't in TDROTI. I'm well aware that Cody did it to Duncan first on that occasion, but he still bullies Cody. And I'm not really sure how you define an antagonist, but from what I know, an antagonist is the one who causes the most amount of trouble to the remaining contenders. It's usually manipulation, but not every antagonist uses manipulation as their predominant strategy. Mal mostly tried to kill everyone and did very little manipulation, Blaineley didn't really manipulate at all, Courtney did manipulate a bit but her antagonism mainly came through her lawyers and her violent temper. And from looks of it Max isn't going to manipulate, he's just going to be a full-out douche.

And for the record Courtney did get karma, though it was more spread out. She took on a shark and ended up in bandages, then she had her PDA thrown over a waterfall (where she had to take on 3 sharks), followed by her getting dumped and eliminated at the same time. Then in the aftermath she got a pen's ink squirted on her.
