Exactly what Blake just said. It's all for plot. Whether you think Courtney belongs on the Heroes team or not, she is still on it.

We know that Courtney was the main antagonist of the second half of Total Drama Action and obviously the writers do too. They also know that Gwen was the main protagonist of Total Drama Island, so why put them on a team where they don't belong? For plot.
