Alejandro and Courtney

This article focuses on the interactions between Alejandro and Courtney.

Overview
Courtney did not show any signs of attraction towards Alejandro until Picnic at Hanging Dork, due to her relationship with Duncan. However, Alejandro has tried to flirt with her in the past, but not very much. As Team Amazon frayed apart due to the conflict of Gwen and Courtney, Duncan tricks Alejandro into going after her next to free up his own interest in Gwen; while he did not seem interested at first, Courtney's obsession with losing leads to her easily being susceptible to his charm. Though the maneuver does not go as initially planned, Alejandro and Courtney continue to pursue one another, further frustrating another interested party. Though this finally does lead to Courtney's elimination, it is less due to Alejandro himself as opposed to Heather attempting to free him up from a potential threat to her interest. Ever since Alejandro has flirted with her, Courtney is one of the only two friends Alejandro has and he is one of only two Courtney has.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
Mere moments after Courtney's request to Izzy to get the camel onto their boat was denied by Noah, Alejandro convinces her to let it on for Team Amazon with his claim that "they'll win fair and square." Ultimately this backfires on them with Courtney's team winning the challenge.

Slap Slap Revolution
Alejandro showed delight in Courtney chewing Heather out for throwing their meat grinder out of the plane in the previous challenge.

Greece's Pieces
Alejandro immediately agrees with Courtney after she admits that the birth of the Olympics was in Greece, not Rome, although this was because it was a fact that Greece is its birthplace.

The EX-Files
Alejandro knows about Duncan being a strong player and Courtney being volatile, so he tricks her into flirting with Tyler to mess with Duncan's head while, at the same time, hurting her own team in the process. Alejandro later flirts with Courtney to throw her off of her game, and to also throw Heather off of her game.

Picnic at Hanging Dork
Alejandro starts to charm and help her so that it will distract both Courtney and Heather from their game. Courtney falls for Alejandro's charms, using it to flirt in front of Duncan, hoping to make him jealous. She seems to demonstrate this in Shear the Sheep, when she specifically tells Heather that she failed at her chance at Alejandro and that she has a right to go after him for herself. However, Alejandro shows interest beyond the performance when Courtney bluntly tells him she wants to lose on purpose as means to eliminate Gwen. She seems to really be falling for him though, as she asks for Heather's permission before she pursues him any further.

Sweden Sour
Courtney is seen next to Alejandro in the loser's compartment. While they are talking, she giggles and says that she bets that he says that to every pretty competitor, to which he responds that she is the only pretty competitor here. All this flirting makes Heather jealous. He then goes to get her a cookie and she feeds it to him while he is hugging her. When reaching Sweden, he hugs her for warmth and says that it will make Duncan crazy. She then calls him "Ale-hunk-dro." She (along with Heather) admires the shirtless Alejandro as he attempts to pull his team's boat towards open water.

Niagara Brawls
When Alejandro is taken by Heather after Sierra refused to take him for the marriage competition, Courtney shows extreme jealousy towards her for stealing him. She places her as number one on her to-do list in a confessional. After witnessing Duncan intentionally making Courtney lose her place in the blindfold wedding dress race, Alejandro steals the megaphone away from him to help her get the dress, claiming to Duncan it was "to protect him" due to his pairing with Courtney in the wedding challenge. Courtney becomes further steamed seeing Alejandro sweet-talking Heather at the start of the Niagara Falls crossing, to the point that her elimination for the sake of gaining Alejandro was mostly all that mattered. Alejandro speaks to Heather during their falls crossing stating she needs to stay in the game and that Owen was who should be eliminated next, which was achieved due to Courtney winning invincibility with Duncan.

Chinese Fake-Out
Alejandro helps her after her bike gets stuck, despite Duncan advising him against it, forcing her to pay him back later even with her disqualification from failing to complete the Great Wall race. Because of this, she is willing to cheat for him in the eating competition. Courtney was eventually caught by Heather, making Chris force Courtney to wear a dragon mask in order to stop her helping Alejandro. Courtney, along with Blaineley, was soon eliminated in this episode, meaning that Alejandro had caused her to get the boot. However, Alejandro had shown concern towards Heather in protecting Courtney before the elimination, still seeing her as useful while choosing to vote for Blaineley instead.

Awwwwww, Drumheller
Heather refers to Courtney cheating for Alejandro in the previous eating challenge and thinks that if another eating challenge occurs, she can take him down in the finals.

Hawaiian Style
Courtney, along with Tyler, Katie, Sadie, and Lindsay go on Team Alejandro. When asked to pick an animal that relates to Alejandro the most, Courtney chooses the jaguar, because he is smart, lean, and fast. She volunteers to compete for Team Alejandro for the challenge, in which Courtney surfs in a race against Harold and Blaineley. By reaching her jaguar and placing her lei around its neck before Harold and Blaineley succeed, she wins the challenge and reward: an advantage for Alejandro to use in the finals.

Hawaiian Punch
Courtney roots for Alejandro when he competes against Cody. He chooses her to help him alongside Lindsay both in creating the effigy of Heather during Versus as well as assisting in trying to stop his competitor during the climbing of the volcano. She was later mad that Alejandro didn't win the show as he lost to Heather, or possibly because he kissed Heather. It is notable that Courtney is the only character who is upset about Alejandro losing the season, with every other member happy about his loss to Heather.

Episodes Suggesting a Conflict
Despite the two being friends, Alejandro usually comes up with plans to weaken Courtney's chances of winning the competition, possibly leading to a conflict.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
Courtney showed aggravation at Alejandro when watching him on the Gemmie Awards messing up the opening of the envelope for "Best Reality Show Cast," as he opened it, really slow. Likewise, both characters were the respective drivers racing against one another attempting to reach New York to get on the Orpah talk show: Courtney for the Total Drama castmates, Alejandro for Total Drama Dirtbags.

The EX-Files
Alejandro knows that making Courtney flirt with another male competitor will throw her off, leading to her attempt to go after Tyler. After his elimination, Alejandro is seen smirking with Duncan, knowing Courtney has been thrown off the deep end.

Picnic at Hanging Dork
Alejandro only comes up with the idea of flirting with Courtney as a means for weakening all of Team Amazon, with he and Duncan seeing it as a stronger means of tearing them apart than going after Heather. He later fakes a performance with Duncan on Hanging Rock as a means to confuse Courtney off her game, leading to Duncan's fake crying performance to likewise break Gwen and Heather.

Sweden Sour
Immediately after showing him giving cookies to Courtney, Alejandro shows a confessional that he is winning her over with them, and then immediately breaks one showing how he intends to break her. Just before Team Amazon's elimination ceremony, Alejandro convinces Heather that the flirting with Courtney is just to distract and eliminate her.

Niagara Brawls
Alejandro's claim regarding his assistance of Courtney during the blindfold wedding dress challenge was to keep trust with Duncan and allow for him to continue surviving in the game, as if letting Courtney stay in the game was of no concern according to his manner of speaking. Likewise, he states that his manner of surviving the game involved alliances with Duncan, Owen, and Heather, as if he shows no interest or concern for Courtney's future. When he speaks to Heather about elimination, he continues to claim he needs Courtney to survive forward and that he can control her for his own purposes.

Chinese Fake-Out
Alejandro continues to tell Duncan that he only wants to help her for an alliance and to help him out. When Courtney gets blown up by a mine, he decides to continue racing with Duncan instead of saving her or keeping track of wherever Courtney ended up after landing. Just before the vote, Alejandro speaks to Duncan about his choice for voting for Courtney, which Duncan confirms. Alejandro does not contend with the choice, even though he admits he is voting off Blaineley.

African Lying Safari
Alejandro shows a pleasant mood speaking to Duncan about "his problems being shoved out the plane," further proving that he was more interested in keeping Duncan around for the moment than Courtney's elimination.
