Bridgette and Courtney

This article focuses on the interactions between Bridgette and Courtney.

Overview
When the series first began, Courtney was shown to only want to win the competition, and she didn't seem to be interested in making friends with anybody. However, she became friends with her fellow Killer Bass teammate Bridgette, and the interaction between the two girls escalated to the point where they became good friends before Courtney was eliminated. Unlike most characters, whom Courtney does not hesitate to criticize for their failures or what she otherwise deems as uselessness to herself and the team, Bridgette seems to have gained Courtney's genuine respect. They manage to maintain their friendship in spite of episodes where Courtney berates Bridgette for any serious mistake she makes, such as in Not Quite Famous and The Sucky Outdoors.

Considering how many enemies Courtney has made due to her ruthlessness in the competition throughout the series (particularly in Total Drama Action), Bridgette is probably the only real friend that Courtney still has left on the entire show. However, the two had little interactions in Total Drama World Tour, due to them being on different teams, and Bridgette's early elimination.

Not Quite Famous
After injuring Courtney by accident, Bridgette promises to make up for what she has done by competing in Courtney's place. Right before Bridgette was set to go on though, her stomach began rumbling and she looked noticeably queasy. Courtney showed concern and asked if Bridgette was okay to do this. Bridgette assured Courtney that she was fine, but Courtney still had a look of worry on her face over Bridgette's well-being. Bridgette ended up vomiting all over the place during her performance due to eating an excessive amount of chips earlier. Despite this, Courtney is not shown to criticize Bridgette for her disastrous performance (which is fairly uncharacteristic of Courtney's usual behavior). After Heather read Gwen's diary onstage, both of them agreed that it was a very mean thing of Heather to do. Later, they fret over who is to replace Geoff for their final act after Geoff accidentally breaks his skateboard. The girls ultimately decide to put Harold on the stage, which ends up earning their team the win. Bridgette and Courtney happily hug Harold in celebration.

Phobia Factor
As Courtney is getting ready to face her fear of green jelly, Gwen purposely talks about how gross, warm, and snotty it is. This caused Bridgette to tell Courtney not to listen to her, since Gwen is trying to scare her into quitting.



Up the Creek
Courtney and Bridgette partner up in a canoe for a trip to Boney Island. While paddling, Bridgette confides in Courtney about a heart-shaped clay bowl that was left on her bed earlier that day by Geoff, which included a torn picture glued inside that put Bridgette and Geoff beside each other and a cheesy inscription on the back of the bowl. Courtney listens, aghast that Geoff would be so forward and agrees with Bridgette that it was a bad move on Geoff's part.

Basic Straining
Courtney and Bridgette eat together after Duncan and Courtney steal an abundance of food from Chef Hatchet. Bridgette attempts to stop Courtney from eating too much, but Courtney, experiencing an adrenaline rush, ignores the warning, and ends up eating to the point where she vomits it back out.

Haute Camp-ture
When discussing Duncan, one of the campers in the final five, Bridgette talks about how Courtney told her that Duncan has a soft side to him despite his intimidating demeanor. Since Bridgette openly disliked Duncan before being voted off the island, it is safe to assume Bridgette and Courtney resumed hanging out together after they were eliminated and Courtney eventually told Bridgette about the nice side of Duncan.

The Aftermath: IV
Their last bit of interaction in the second season occurs in the final episode, in which Courtney was seen smiling sweetly at Bridgette after she said that she would miss all of her fellow contestants, indicating that their friendship likely still stands despite Courtney's antagonistic role throughout the second season.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
Despite being on opposing teams, Courtney helps Bridgette to sing Stuck to a Pole, even though it is as part of a chorus set up and because all of the members on Team Amazon are forced to sing by Chris.

Hawaiian Style
Bridgette praises Courtney when she wins the episode's challenge. Courtney doesn't attempt to say something in response to Bridgette badmouthing Alejandro.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 2
When Courtney attempts to convince her teammates that they shouldn't vote her off, she once again starts to say that she is a C.I.T.. Bridgette, noticeably with an annoyed look on her face as well as an annoyed tone in her voice, finishes her sentence for her, obviously implying that she is not impressed with Courtney's argument or abilities. She likely would have voted for Courtney, had it not been for Ezekiel's sexist comments against women.

Not Quite Famous
Bridgette attempts to audition for the talent show by standing on her hand for twenty minutes, but Courtney isn't really sure of her talent and decides to choose DJ, Geoff, and herself instead. During practice, Bridgette shows off her talent for Geoff and the other guys who bet her that she really can't stand on her hands for twenty minutes. However, she ends up knocking down a spotlight, which falls on Courtney and breaks her violin. Despite her apology, Courtney remains angry with Bridgette, until the talent show begins.

The Sucky Outdoors
Courtney is mostly frustrated with Bridgette in this episode, as her clumsiness puts the Bass team in a bad situation, once again. After being disoriented by a bat, Bridgette accidentally kicks up an ember from their bonfire that lands on the team's tent, which instantly incinerates it and leaves the Bass without shelter for the night. Courtney yells at Bridgette for this. However, all of the heat on Bridgette is taken off of her back after the Bass lose due to Katie and Sadie being separated from the team, presumably allowing Courtney and Bridgette to make amends after this episode.

Up the Creek
As the Killer Bass are navigating their way around Boney Island, Courtney suggests that they take the left path. Geoff disagrees and thinks they should take the right path. Bridgette agrees with Geoff, stating to Courtney that "the right trail is wider." Courtney is shown to be unhappy that Bridgette shoots down her suggestion, glaring at her as they walk on.

The Aftermath: II
When Bridgette politely asks Courtney if there's anything she'd like to say about the supposed relationship between Gwen and Duncan, Courtney quickly turns her head away, with a noticeable angry look, and refuses to answer.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
After Bridgette, Courtney, and the rest of Team Amazon sing Stuck to a Pole, Courtney seems happy to be able to leave, even when Bridgette calls out to them for help with her predicament. Courtney, along with all of the other members of Team Amazon, shows no signs of acknowledgment to Bridgette's pleas and simply leaves, not wanting to lose the challenge. As a result of this, Bridgette is eliminated later in the same episode.

Hawaiian Style
Bridgette seems disappointed when Courtney is able to win the challenge for Alejandro, giving him an advantage for the finals.
