@Duncanxheather1: Well, I believe that we'll end up seeing that scenario take place, or at least something like it. I like to think that when Blaineley indirectly told Courtney to "grow a heart" in the TDA special, she was foreshadowing Courtney's eventual change in behaviour. We'll just have to wait and see.

And as FH said, not many people would simply be able to "shake off" the fact that they were suddenly and inexplicably voted off. In fact, the consequences were actually compounded in Courtney's case. Not only was she beginning to enjoy herself for once, but she was looking forward to spending more time with a boy she was falling in love with. To have all that suddenly taken away in a heartbeat is terrible, and it would certainly have incited a similar response from me as well -- it's only human nature.

I agree that her later behaviour in TDA was often questionable, but given the way that she was voted off in the first season and the way that she was initially denied a chance to participate in the second season, I don't blame her at all for fighting fire with fire. Much of it can be explained by the fact that her Type-A persona demands a lot from her in the heat of competition. It's just the way she is, and honestly, I don't think she can help it. But that's not to say that she can't change.
