^Then the love triangle and Duncan is annoying. Sorry, but you find Courtney and Gwen annoying? I disagree. Duncan's been a constant annoyance since well before the triangle came around in its full circle in TDWT. The love triangle is annoying as sin, but the weight of the problem lies with Duncan, who just won't go away. Courtney and Gwen would not be obsessive targets of such over-dramatic focus either if it were not for him.

Yeah well I'm not pretending Courtney's an angel, but a lot of her misguided ways were brought out by Duncan. He's been an extremely negative influence on her since TDI, and that probably did not help matters.

Yeah but he did not leave TDWT solely because of Courtney, he left because neither she or Gwen would shut the hell up in their constant bickering with each other. And again, his hate for Courtney does NOT add up because he was in love with her partly because of her attitude. Nothing in TDWT indicates that that should've changed at any point, and even less so why he's suddenly all over Gwen when he had no romantic feelings for her in the first two seasons.

Look, nobody handled things well. Duncan set off the entire thing, and Gwen let it happen when she knew it was only lead to bad things. Courtney's reaction though is understandable and realistic, most people probably would react that way if they found out their boyfriend cheated on them with their best friend. It's a pretty normal reaction. Yes, she went overboard in getting revenge...........but considering how badly her trust was betrayed, I can honestly understand her mindset as she was doing it.

Duncan taught her how to be "bad", and under his wing she enjoyed that just a little too much. And her unfair elimination certainly made for an extremely bad mix with that. But it was initially spurred by Duncan, who is infamous for his "Bad Boy" antics.
