Is Gwen's character being destroyed. Courtney's just as annoying, but focused so I like that part. Duncan's still a horrible person, but a cool character. But Gwen seems to be the one getting worse. Like Duncan is rude, dreadful to watch half the time, & hurtful, & Courtney is annoying, arrogant, & overestimates her abilities. Despite this, they both aren't bad people deep down. Sure from the beginning of the series neither was really liked, but Duncan was never treated like Heather was. Hell Courtney was never treated like that until season two. Courtney is one of those antagonists that has no true evil goal, and is only focused on winning. Not to say that she is a good guy (cause she's not), but her only true bad things have been from overestimating herself, which usually causes her to epicly fail. Duncan's been a jerk to 95% of the cast, but is actually respect by 95% of the cast as well surprisingly. Maybe a bit less after the whole TDWT so 91%. Still, what we need from Duncan is the Duncan from TDI-TDA. The ony that was capable of making friends with: Beth, Lindsay, Leshawna (at some point), and even HAROLD. The Courtney we need to see is Season 1 as although she still was the most likeable to the contestants, she was a witty, calculative, & nowhere near as arrogant or bossy as she is now.

But with Gwen, S1 she started out great. Usually insulting people who would be nice to her, & badmouthing 16 of the other contestants in the S1 finale. Season 2 her personality gets better but then she totally dumps on Trent. Live & forget so we got over it. S3 she & Duncan go behind Courtney's back, thus adding to the fuel of the animosity between the two of them. S5 comes & it's almost like the writers have finally decided to just make her seem like a villain. Duncan is an anti-hero obviously, Courtney is a villain, but a not very evil as more of competitive, & Gwen is completely neutral. So why does it feel like the writers want to wreck her character? Do they not like her? Or is there another reason?
