1. She plays ruthlessly and strategically. I'm not denying that; after all, she was the antagonist for the second half of TDA. But money isn't all she cares about. She truly did care about Duncan, which was more evident in Beth's ending.

2. She did not deserve to get cheated on. Besides, the act of cheating is just as bad (if not worse) than anything Courtney has ever done on the show. Let's face it — as immature as Courtney may have been in wanting to change Duncan, it pales in comparison to how he handled it.

3. I don't buy that argument. Courtney and Gwen bonded a lot throughout the first half of TDWT, especially in Newf Kids on the Rock and I See London. And in the latter episode in particular, it was clearly evident that they had shared interests other than Duncan. Why else would Courtney have been upset over how their friendship ended?
