Courtney and Harold



This article is about the conflict between Courtney and Harold.

Overview
Courtney and Harold's conflict is largely caused by Harold's dislike for Duncan throughout the season, Courtney's ex-boyfriend, and how Harold's nerdy personality interferes with her lifestyle. Initially, Courtney was just extremely critical of Harold, often berating him for him being such a geek and alleged worthlessness to the team. This conflict greatly intensified for the remainder of the season after Harold engineered Courtney's elimination to get back at Duncan for torturing him all season. However, with her on the opposite team in Total Drama Action, and again in Total Drama World Tour, the conflict between them hasn't continued as much as that between Duncan and Harold, but the conflict still continues mildly.

The Big Sleep
Courtney scolds Harold for being the last person to complete the twenty kilometer run in the beginning of the episode, even when, at that moment, he was having heart palpitations.

Dodgebrawl
Courtney yells at Harold for Duncan sitting out most of the game due to Harold's loud snoring, to which he snaps back that his snoring is due to the fact that he has a medical condition. Courtney also heavily criticizes Harold's weak dodgeball skills and forces him to sit out the game. This is because of his performance in the first round where he barely throws the dodgeball, even though he wants to actively participate. When the Bass needed to wake Duncan up to win the challenge, Courtney makes Harold wake him up, because Duncan said he'd kill anybody who woke him up, and Harold was the "only one they could afford to lose."

Not Quite Famous
Courtney didn't give Harold a chance to audition for the talent contest, believing him to be talentless. The only reason why she allowed Harold to perform in the show was because she was forced to let him perform, resulting in their team winning the challenge. His victory was so stunning that she even embraced him (She was likely caught up in the moment).

Phobia Factor
Harold shook his head out of disagreement when Courtney scolded DJ for taking time about not conquering his fear of snakes.

Up the Creek
Courtney stated that Harold's arms are too skinny to push the canoe when the Killer Bass are devising a method to make it back to camp after Harold accidentally burns their canoe paddles for firewood.

If You Can't Take The Heat...
Courtney teasingly greeted Harold as he woke up on the Dock of Shame naked.

Basic Straining
Courtney was grossed out when one of Harold's underwear s'mores, made by Geoff and Duncan landed near her. To get back at Duncan for picking on him during the season, Harold switches the votes, eliminating Courtney. After Courtney is told that she was eliminated, not Harold, she was outraged that her team picked Harold over her.

Haute Camp-ture
Courtney spends the entire episode blaming Harold for her elimination. Harold is hiding from Courtney in the bushes, but Courtney eventually finds him and beats him up with a lamppost. Harold says that what he did to Courtney was "pretty heinous," but he was really upset with Duncan, because he kept bugging him. Noah enjoyed watching Courtney and Harold slap fight and insult each other until they eventually fell into the pool when Courtney accidentally voted for LeShawna, and both of them fall into the pool.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Harold asks Courtney and Duncan if he can join them, but Courtney furiously rejects him, saying that he will only slow them down.

Theme Song
Duncan and Courtney kiss and are then seen smiling deviously with each other at Harold's misfortune when Harold is shot with seagulls by Duncan.

Million Dollar Babies
When Harold spoke about pom-poms and pom-pop girls, Courtney glared at him.

Get a Clue
When they were trying to stop the train, Courtney threw Harold's magnifying glass on the tracks, breaking it. Harold then glared at her when she replied oops. Later on, when Lindsay told them to arrest Courtney, he started walking toward her with Beth.

Rock n' Rule
Harold looked at Courtney's voting device to see who she was voting for, until Courtney saw him and moved her device away from him, glaring at him in the process.

The Aftermath: IV
After Harold finished his turn with the questions, Courtney glared at him.

Hawaiian Style
In the song Who You Gonna Root For? when Harold had his beatbox solo, Courtney asks why Harold gets to sing, and subsequently shoves him off the screen and begins to sing herself. Later, during the surfing challenge, they constantly glared at each other and bickered several times.

Hawaiian Punch
Harold was chosen as one of Heather's helpers, while Courtney was chosen as one of Alejandro's helpers. After Alejandro's other helper ran off following a trick by Cody, Harold taunted Courtney about how they were sure to win now. Courtney reacts to this by kicking him in the groin and helping Alejandro all by herself.

Dodgebrawl
Courtney compliments Harold's "team spirit," though it was after that she tells him to wake up Duncan. Courtney was impressed in Harold winning the game as well.

Not Quite Famous
After doing great in beatboxing and single-handedly saving the team a second time, Courtney (along with Bridgette) runs to Harold and hugs him.

Basic Straining
After Duncan and Geoff give Harold the glass of kitchen grease and watch him drink it, Courtney stands up for Harold and claims that Duncan and Geoff were "so immature" to continue pulling pranks on him.

Super Hero-ld
Courtney convinces Harold that she could take him to the final four if he voted LeShawna off, but if LeShawna stayed he'd be the first of the guys to go. Though this way merely because Duncan told her to do so. Harold votes LeShawna off, but later regrets it.

The Princess Pride
Harold thinks Courtney's song was beautiful and requested a copy. Soon after, he listened to it in the confessional and started singing it. Courtney blew Harold, along with Justin and Duncan, an air kiss.

Get a Clue
Courtney managed to convince Harold on assisting her on trying to stop the train only by allowing him to still use his magnifying glass.

Rock n' Rule
