User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-24971793-20141030161213/@comment-31556666-20141031130920

@Flurry Open cheater in TDA? Apart from entering the competition halfway through, Courtney wasn't much of a cheater. She played the game strategically.

Can you really blame her for not liking their over-co-operative team spirit. The thing is that they lost in the previous episode, so it can easily be interepreted that Courtney doesn't like this loss and just wants to get on with the challenge. And speaking from the point of view of myself, she was the only interesting thing about the heroes in the first three episodes.

She used Sam as a shield because of those helpless frightened screams that she was uttering. She had no weapon, nothing to defend herself with, and it was Jo, who would probably act very harsh with her weapon towards Courtney. In desperation, she uses Sam as a shield. How can she think about the situation when she's about to be shot?

@Stryzzar I'm not really part of any of those kinds of bases towards Courtney. If I had to choose, it would be the people who see Courtney as a sympathetic character. Granted, I still find her occasional sudden moments of cruelty hilarious as do other people.
