User blog comment:Paper Lantern/I blame Duncan/@comment-5964625-20130829064600

Guys and girls, I'm not going to say any Duncan bashing(which I love to do) or even Gwen for that matter, but I am going to defend Courtney a bit. People keep saying that she controlled him, that she was too bossy, too demanding, etc, and she deserved what she got. I seriously have to disagree, while yes, she is for the most part all of those things, she truly loved Duncan and believed him to love her too. Such as(just going by TDWT) when she thought she saw him in newfoundland(because she wanted to see him), hugged him and said she missed him when he returned in London, and how upset she was that he cheated and broke up with her for her friend. He's the only one that she's ever showed compassion for, and that in of itself show's alot due to her nature. Also, Courtney didn't have eyes for anyone else unlike a certain someone else. Especially considering the man-candy Alejandro was constantly trying to get with the girls, she didn't even consider/look at him before Duncan and Courtney broke up. Which brings me to another point, even after she broke up with him, and he cheated on her, she still wanted to make him jealous(in a possible way to get him back) by flirting with Alejandro. As much as people may think she isn't, she really IS the victim in this situation.
