Beth and Courtney

This article focuses on the interactions between Beth and Courtney.

Overview
In Total Drama Island, there wasn't any on-screen interaction between the two, due to the fact that they were both eliminated before the merge and were on different teams. However, since Courtney debuted in Total Drama Action, there was a lot of confrontation between the two, as Courtney was placed on the same team as Beth. Beth quickly grew to dislike Courtney's bossy, ruthless, and domineering attitude, and how Courtney often mistreated Beth's best friend, Lindsay. Courtney ends up disliking Beth because of her naivety and niceness. This confrontation grew even bigger once they formed an alliance, where their true tensions began. The conflict has since faded into obscurity due to Beth not advancing to the third season, and Courtney doing so.

Courtney immediately clashed with Beth after assuming leadership of the team. Beth was offended when Courtney ordered her to mush, and protested that her teammates were not sled-dogs. Courtney called Beth a "complete dud" due to the Grips' poor performance in the challenge, so Beth, along with all the other teammates, voted Courtney off even though they knew that she had immunity in the Awards Ceremony due to have only returned earlier that day.

During this episode, Beth "sleep twirls" Courtney's PDA, nearly breaking it when she tosses it in the air. Courtney barely catches it and warns Beth that if she ever touches it again, she would pay.

The Princess Pride
Beth, along with Lindsay, were jealous that Courtney was chosen to be the princess. Chris created and sold Princess Courtney Dolls, one of which Beth used as a voodoo doll, which Courtney apparently felt the effects of. Later on, at the Awards Ceremony, Chris changed the Princess Courtney Dolls to Princess Beth Dolls, because Courtney's lawyers wanted a large cut of the profits. Beth responded to this by excitedly jumping up and down and screaming with joy, but eventually started to feel pain due to the pins in the doll.

Get a Clue
When Beth asks to have some of Courtney's reward, she angrily refuses.

Although Courtney was trying to form an alliance with Beth, they still got on each other's nerves throughout the episode. Even nearly getting into a knife fight in the kitchen. Although Beth initially denied Courtney's pleas to form an alliance, she eventually agreed after Courtney allowed her the use of her PDA. They completed the remaining part of the challenge (which involved cooking the "seven deadliest fish known to man").

When Courtney wins the first challenge, she and Beth are allowed to decide the order in the second challenge. Beth tries to tell Courtney to let both go first, but Courtney covers her mouth with her hand out of annoyance. Courtney decides her and Beth were to go last, but once Chris explains the next challenge was the Vomit Comet, Courtney tries to take back her decision, but she was too late. Beth then becomes angry at her, explaining in the confessional that this is what she tried to tell her. Later, after Beth decides to do the Vomit Comet challenge instead of forfeiting as told by Courtney, she is seen glaring at her. They later get into a major argument in their trailer, while Beth even tells Courtney that she is always mean and bossy. The fight continues prior to the Awards Ceremony and officially end their short-lived alliance.

Beth reveals that she has been listening Courtney and Duncan's interactions in the previous night and pities Duncan for needing to memorize a fourty-two page letter in order for him to have a serious relationship with Courtney. Once the challenge began, Courtney pushed Beth over as they got to choose their animal buddy, prompting Beth to angrily comment on the similarity between Courtney and her animal buddy. Later, Courtney is shown belittling Beth even after her animal buddy found Courtney's PDA for her, which had been lost earlier in the episode. Beth does not seem the least bit upset when Courtney is finally eliminated at the end of the episode, as she voted her off due to being a threat.

When Courtney suggests of a "completely unbiased" quiz show to solve the tie, she winks at Duncan, implying that the quiz was going to be biased towards him, but her idea was rejected by the others.
