Courtney's personal digital assistant

Courtney's Personal Digital Assistant (often shortened to Courtney's PDA) is an electronic hand-held device used by Courtney throughout Total Drama Action, mostly to call her lawyers.

The Aftermath: I
Courtney is seen calling one of her lawyers, Michael, using her PDA, saying, "We're gonna sue the pants off this show, Michael!"

The Aftermath: II
After becoming angered by the footage of Duncan and Gwen, Courtney takes out her PDA, furiously storms off of the set, and threatens to call her lawyer.

One Million Bucks, B.C.
Due to the contract given to Chris by Courtney's lawyers, she is legally entitled to bring her PDA into the game and gains many other unfair advantages.

Million Dollar Babies
Beth sleepwalks out of the trailer twirling the PDA during the beginning of the episode. She then launches it into the air, only to be saved by a desperate Courtney who dives to its rescue. She carries it in her pocket during the first part of the challenge, where it falls out at some point. Beth picks it up with the intention of handing it back, but after seeing Courtney was preoccupied, she looks through it and finds some startling information. After the second challenge, Courtney shows the entire cast a video of Leshawna insulting her fellow castmates after Beth persuades her to show what Leshawna did. During Leshawna's cheer, she mentions that Courtney loves her PDA and "is an organized gal," and then grabs it to show it to the audience.

Dial M for Merger
Courtney brings it out during the bomb challenge. She tries to call her lawyers to get them to contact some bomb experts so she can win, but finds that her lawyers are out of office. She tries again later when the reward is announced (so she can get out of it), but the lawyers are still gone. She then dunks her PDA into tomato juice out of frustration.

Super Hero-ld
Courtney once again tries to contact her lawyers when she loses the first part of the challenge, but gets yet another out-of-office reply.

The Princess Pride
At the beginning of the episode, she is seen using her PDA to "strategize." At the end of the episode, Courtney is seen using her PDA again while waving goodbye to Justin.

Get a Clue
Courtney's PDA is used to play the message from Chris. Later, she tries to contact her lawyers, but finds out that she has no power left. It is revealed that she also uses her PDA as an agenda.

Rock n' Rule
Courtney takes out her PDA briefly, threatening to call her lawyers after she learns about Owen getting back into the competition even though she was the one who declared him eliminated, but then puts it away after she finds out from Chris that using it would be essentially useless against Owen, since he allegedly filed a lawsuit as well to get back on the show.

Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen
In an attempt to get on Beth's good side, Courtney offers to let her watch a romantic comedy movie on her PDA, but Beth said no. Later, when Courtney tries to seal an alliance with Beth, she lets her borrow her PDA to call her boyfriend.

Top Dog
Courtney's PDA was featured again in this episode. First, her lawyers tried to contact her, but she did not have time to read the message. A shark later stole the PDA and threatened to destroy it, and tossed it over a waterfall. Later, Courtney returns to the film lot, shivering due to "PDA withdrawal." Beth's raccoon finds the PDA and gives it back to Courtney. Courtney finally reads the message and finds out that Owen is a traitor.

After this episode, in the Lame-o-sine, Courtney throws her PDA out of the car window after giving up hope on her lawyers, who are still on a three week vacation at the time.

The Aftermath: IV
In the alternate ending of the episode, she takes out her PDA to call her lawyers in order to help Duncan sue the show for what she deems to be "election fraud" when Beth wins instead.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
When Duncan and Courtney are photographed in the restaurant, Courtney is seen using her PDA.
