Courtney and Duncan

This page is about the relationship between Duncan and Courtney.



Overview
Duncan and Courtney were very different and they conflicted a lot during the competition. Later in the competition most of the other contestants would refer to them as a couple which Courtney would deny and Duncan would usually say that she wants him. Duncan also constantly flirts with her and gave her the pet name "Princess". Several episodes showed them being paired together for challenges and they would, at that time, show signs of affection towards each other.

Theme song
In the Total Drama Island theme song, after DJ runs off screaming when the animals attack him, Duncan bursts out laughing but stops when he sees Courtney glaring at him. In the Total Drama Action theme song, Courtey first scowls at Duncan for shooting Harold with a bunch of seagulls, but then starts to make out with him, and pulls away grinning deviously while Duncan appears both happy and shaken/suprised.

The Sucky Outdoors


- Duncan and Courtney conflict with each other for the leadership position during the Wilderness-Survival Challenge. When the map and compass are given to Duncan, he teases her silently about it. Courtney shoots him a dirty look.

- While Courtney is pitching a tent, Duncan walks up to her and teases: "Where's dinner, woman? I'm starving.". She shoots him another dirty look and replies: "I hope you don't expect me to dignify that with a response.".

- After Duncan scares his team with a fake hook, Courtney gets after him and the two get into an arguement:

''Courtney: You are so vile. Do your parents even love you?!  Duncan: I don't know, Jumpy-McChicken; I haven't asked them lately.''

Right after, Courtney is frightened by a wolf sounds and, without thinking, jumps into Duncan's arms. Duncan is taken aback by this for a second, but then smirks at Geoff. Geoff gives him a thumbs-up.

- Courtney starting complaining after their tent was burnt down by Bridgette on accident. Duncan, who barely wakes up, tells her it's no big deal and that everything is cool. After Courtney argues with him that it couldn't get any worse, a downpour suddenly strikes. Courtney screams in annoyance while Duncan just smirks at her.

- The next morning, Duncan wakes up to see Courtney cuddled up on him, sleeping soundly. He grins sheepishly and greets her: "Morning, Sunshine". Courtney wakes up startled, and frantically denies the fact that she was cuddling with him many times.

- When the Killer Bass and Screaming Gophers return to the finish line (Killer Bass being the first to cross), Chris questions the whereabouts of Killer Bass' members Katie and Sadie:

Courtney: "Oh, you mean Katie and Sadie? I'm pretty sure they got eaten by wolves or something."

Duncan: *nodding his head* "Darn shame."

- At the end of the episode in the nighttime, Duncan sits next to Courtney and apoligizes for scarring her the night before. Courtney denies that she was scared in the first place, so Duncan brings out the fake hook again, proving her wrong. Angered, she admits her hatred for him and stomps off. Duncan shrugs it off: She so doesn't hate me.

Phobia Factor
When Duncan has to face his fear of Celine Dion music store standees, Courtney acts gently towards him and takes his hand to cheer him up and says that "It's OK if he can't do it.", in contrast to her general desire to win all the time. When Duncan does face his fear, Courtney runs towards him and hugs Duncan tight, and starts cuddling with him until she realizes others are around, she then lets go of him and blushes slightly. Since it was Courtney not facing her fear that made her teams lose, it's implied that Duncan convinced his teammates not to vote of Courtney due to his crush on her.

Paintball Deer Hunter


- Following an arguement concerning which way camp was, Duncan and Courtney's antler hats tangle together. The two struggle to break free from each other's grasp (in a confession cam, Duncan admits that he actually kinda liked it), but they remain stuck. After giving up, Duncan angrily questions what they're supposed to do next, which he replies hopefully, "Do you wanna make out?". Courtney's face goes blank, having take her "answer" as a no-go.

- The two stumble back to camp, still attached to each other, where everyone is waiting. After Gwen and Owen make comments on the two's situation, Duncan slyly replies, "What can I say? The girl couldn't keep her antlers off me.". Courtney's face sours and she kicks Duncan in his private section. He sheds a tear and then says "I can't even bend over." In a higher pitched voice.

If You Can't Take The Heat


- During the cooking challenge, the two are paired for taking charge of the dessert. Duncan goes through with it willingly(giving Courtney a flirtatious look), while Courtney refuses to be apart of it. Geoff stands behind Duncan and the two grin in a "Pretty please?" manner, causing Courtney to reluctantly accept.

- *Following Confession Cam*: ''Courtney: He's totally unmotivated, and he never washes his hands! He's so obnoxious! *Cam fast-forwards* Owning sunglasses doesn't automatically make you "cool". *Fast-Forwards again* People like that are so annoying. Honestly, who does that?! And don't even get me started on his hair... *Cuts Off*''

- After a couple of small arguments while cooking, Duncan comments that if that she (Courtney) would be a lot more fun if she wasn't so stuck-up and bossy. Courtney argues back that she is the most easy-going person SHE knows. Duncan mocks her and sprays some custard-filling for the dessert on her face. She is taken back, then proceeds in throwing the whole bowl at his face. She giggles and, triumphantly, wipes a fingertip of custard from Duncan's face, eats it, and smirks at his "defeat". Duncan doesn't take any action, and just stares at her, annoyed.

- Following the argument, confession cams of the two proceed:

Duncan: "Man, that girl creases me... I dig that in a chick." Courtney: "Duncan and me? Right. As if. I'm so sure. Not in a million years. Please. When pigs fly. **LeShawna interrupts: "Yo! Are you done protesting in there, or could SOMEONE ELSE have a turn?!"** Courtney: "Like I said, not gonna happen!"

- During Duncan and Courtney's judging, Courtney starts to shake in anxiousness and fear. Not taking his eyes off the judging table, Duncan puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Courtney stops shaking and glances at his hand. The two looks at each other and smile.

- When Chris announces their low grade, Courtney drops her head in defeat. Duncan's expression turns angry, his hand still on Courtney's shoulder.

- After the Killer Bass are declared the winners for the challenge, Duncan wraps his arms around Courtney's waist and lifts her in celebration. She laughs and enjoys it for a bit, but then demands he put her down. Duncan, embarrassed, does so. This signifies that Duncan has a huge crush on her.

Who Can You Trust?
- Courtney spots Duncan stealing a mug from the mess hall during breakfast and goes over to reprehend him, stating that he might get kicked off. Duncan grins and teased about her concern for him, which she denies. The two get into a small arguement, which ends with Courtney walking off, thinking there will never be any good in him.

- When Courtney wakes up in the first-aid tent, after taking a crabapple to the head courtesy of Sadie, she spots Duncan luring a rabbit back to the challenge area with a carrot. Courtney questions his actions to herself and follows.

- DJ thanks Duncan for returning his pet "Bunny" back to him (the original had been eaten while in the care of Geoff, but he thought that it had just abandoned him). Duncan scoffs this off. Courtney appears behind him, touched, complimenting how he went through the trouble of getting DJ a new rabbit, and that he is a good guy. Duncan, taken back for asecond, denies the idea, but Courtney argues that he really is a nice-guy deep down. He continues to argue aganist her, but when he sees that she doesn't buy it, he gives in and tells her he does have a softer-side and asks her to promise not to tell anyone in order to keep up his "bad-boy" image. Courtney smiles, assures him that his secret was safe with her, and walks away. Duncan looks to the Camera in a surprised expression.

Basic Straining


-After several episodes of trying to make Courtney admit that she likes Duncan he finally gets her to break the rules which in results eventually leads into a kiss. Unfortunately, Harold saw it and used Courtney to get back at Duncan for all of his pranks on him so he stuffs the ballot box with votes against Courtney and she is voted off. During one of Master Chief's (Chef Hatchet) trainings invloving hanging upside-down on a huge tree, she giggles until Master Chief tells her to stop giggling. She jumps down, lands on her feet, and heads toward Master Chief. She sarcasticlly asks him to take a "chill pill" and cackles all the way to Duncan, who holds her waist. She cheers on Geoff, who just then flopped onto the ground, making Gwen the training's winner. -Courtney is kicked off in the end, thanks to Harold's anger at Duncan, and, after being dragged against her will to the 'Boat of Losers', Duncan runs onto the 'Dock of Shame' shouting: ''Courtney, Wait! I made this for you! He throws a carved wooden skull to Courtney and she replies: Duncan! Okay, this is really weird and creepy but... I love it! I'll never forget you...''

No Pain, No Game
-During his time in the confession cam, Duncan explains that he wants Heather voted off because he knows that she had something to do with Courtney getting kicked off, and how she'll pay for it later. Then his face softens: "And if you're watching this on cable, I miss you babe." Although Courtney was voted off through no fault of Heather with Harold being the real culprit.

Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
- Leshawna, trying to make Duncan admit he has a soft-spot, brings up how he[Duncan] "had it bad" for Courtney. Duncan is taken aback by the comment for a split second, and replies that he liked her because she was hot, no big deal. Leshawna debuttles his statement and tells him that Courtney told her about the rabbit incident (See Who Can You Trust?). Duncan is shocked and dropped his head in defeat.

- Later on in the episode, during the Totem-Pole of Losers part of the challenge(where the three teams had to make a totem pole using the heads of the kicked-off campers in the order they left), Chris wanders over to Duncan and Lesahwna's table and picks up the wooden Courtney head. Duncan tries to stop him, but Chris reveals a "D+C" carving on the back of her head (done by none-other that Duncan himself). Chris then starts teasing him, making Duncan anger quickly. Then Leshawna, to both Chris and Duncan's surprise, throws one of the heads at Chris, knocking him out.

Chris: "Lets see how our most fearsest competitors are doing?" "Whats this?" Duncan: "Dont" Chris: (looks at the D+C Carving in a heart on the back of courtney's wood head) "haha" Duncan: "It'sot funny man" Chris: "Guys usually kiss girls they like, dude carves her head!!!" "haha" "Mr Tough ain't so tough anymore eh?" Leshawna: (Throws a head at Chris knocking him out) Who says we've got to be tough all the time?''

Then after this when Chris declares Duncan and Leshawna the winners, he talks and looks all Feeble minded because he is still kind of knocked out from the blow to his head. It's so funny.

Haut Camp-ture
Courtney admits to the camera men that she wants Duncan to win and that she really likes him, something which everyone else hears and congratulates Courtney for. Later on in the episode, Courtney gets revenge at Harold for tearing her and Duncan apart by beating him senseless with a lamp post. Courtney also forces Harold to vote for Duncan to win (though it is obvious he doesn't plan on doing so).

The Very Last Episode, Really!


As Duncan compliments Chris on his idea for Owen and Gwen having to fight off angry eagle parents,and Courtney asks why he likes it so much. In the confession can, she says that boys are stupid to like death and bodily functions, but then confesses that she thinks danger is hot, and they kiss twice, once by Courtney and the second after saying "You're still not my type" and "You make me sick.".

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!
Courtney teams up with Duncan to win the million dollars and split it 50/50. Getting over excited Courtney pulls Duncan and kisses him. During the challenge, both Courtney and Duncan state in different situations that they love each other. Throughout the episode they call each other pet names such as, "honey", and "hot stuff" (But oddly enough "Princess" is not used). Courtney is shown to be more interested in winning the money than anything else, since when Duncan sprains his ankle, Courtney leaves him behind to get the money (though she says "You know you mean the world to me" and promises she'll still split the money), as Courtney was running with the money, Izzy lands on her and takes the money. Courtney then says "Wait! Come back hewre! No one is stealing the money that I stole!!!" then Duncan says "I love that woman", resulting in Noah insulting Duncan. Later, Courtney steals the case in a hot air balloon and sees Duncan fending off a moose that attempted to chase him. Admiring his bravery, she yelled, "Go, Honey Go!" Duncan responded with an almost threatening, "I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT, SWEETHEART!" By the end of the episode, a 14-way tie is made after a shark eats the suitcase with the money. The 14-campers in the tie are the ones who get to participate in the show's second season, however, since Duncan was in the tie and Courtney wasn't, it's unknown whether the relationship will proceed in the second season or end, although the Total Drama Action theme song suggests that the relationship will continue.
