@Fire, I don't think I ever saw him as sensitive and trusting, he was always "the bully", and that's what a slot of fans like about him. Ryan literally said he liked cruel characters. I don't think you were ever supposed to take him as being heroically. At most I suppose you could feel a tinge of sympathy with the DJ bunny thing, but that doesn't make undo a life of wrong. Personally I still think of him as an antihero/antivillain, because he's just too lazy to go to the levels of most of the antagonists. Though I could've still easily seen him as a season's antagonist, he probably would've been a better choice than Courtney, which would mean she doesn't get derailed and he doesn't float.

Yeah who knows what those people are doing in that studio. Well at with Gwen its more of a case of not having a clue as to how to handle her, unlike Courtney they're intentionally trying to screw with her character. Though I can't blame Duncan entirely for what happened to Courtney, if he didn't bring out the evil in her then someone else mightve. But just like Zoke, both of them probably were better off without each other. What I hated about Gwen and Cameron was it just felt so non-Gwen. Since when did Gwen of all people just randomly smile and be happy when some nerdling she's never met before just waltzes over, and makes friends him the next day. TDI Gwen would've been like "leave me alone loser" and after getting to know him, she might sigh and finally agree to align with him.

I think she kept getting close to Duncan and becoming interested in him, while distancing from Trent who desperately tried to get her attention. But then he gets kicked off because of the whole #9 crap and how the threw challenges (because he listened to idiotic Owen). You can take a look over the Duncan and Gwen article which probably has stuff that I've missed, this is the wiki that's for giving information.

Hi Brodie, I think that's just Zoey being Zoey, she's nice to everyone she meets for the first time, even Heather in ROTI who she was scared of. I mean she took half a season to see Scott's true nature, despite repetitive warnings from Cameron and Mike, and it gets even better (or worse) with Mal in TDAS. Plus I think she either didn't get a chance to see the bad things Duncan did (she's not Sierra who studied and recited the episodes), or she rememberd the bunny thing from TDI and how Courtney, Leshawna and Bridgette commented on him having a soft side.
