Courtney and Harold

This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Harold.

Overview
Initially, Courtney was extremely critical of Harold, often berating him for being such a geek and for his alleged worthlessness to the Killer Bass, even after some impressive feats by him. However, she appears to acknowledge him as a person, such as when she stood up for him against Geoff and Duncan after they picked on him incessantly. This conflict greatly intensifies for the remainder of the season after Harold unfairly causes Courtney's elimination by tampering with the votes, to get back at Duncan for tormenting him throughout the season, due to Courtney being Duncan's love interest at the time. The incident has since only been mentioned once, but the conflict has not subsided with time. Courtney and Harold continue to lock horns, particularly through intense competition such as in Hawaiian Style and Hawaiian Punch.

The Big Sleep
Courtney scolds Harold for being the last person to complete the twenty kilometer run at the beginning of the episode, although he claims he's having heart palpitations.

Dodgebrawl
Courtney yells at Harold, blaming him for Duncan sitting out most of the game due to his loud snoring, to which he snaps back that his snoring is due to the fact that he has a medical condition. Courtney also heavily criticizes Harold's weak dodgeball skills and forces him to sit out of the game. This is because of his performance in the first round where he barely throws the dodgeball, even though he wants to actively participate. When the Bass needed to wake Duncan up to win the challenge, Courtney tells Harold to wake him up, because Duncan said he'd kill anybody who woke him up, and Harold is the "only one they could afford to lose," according to her. She also thinks Harold is the worst in dodgeball other then Tyler. However, her views on Harold quickly changed when it turns out that Harold has incredible dodging skills. Courtney quickly calls a time out so the team can give Harold some advice while he rest. Once Harold successfully gives the Killer Bass their first victory, Courtney and the others celebrate with him.

Not Quite Famous
Courtney doesn't give Harold a chance to audition for the talent contest, believing him to be talentless. However, after several mishaps involving the other teammates, Courtney allows Harold to perform. Harold surprisingly performs an excellent beatboxing routine that gives the Bass enough points to score their second victory. Courtney and Bridgette run over to Harold and hug him.

Up the Creek
Courtney states that Harold's arms are too skinny to push the canoe when the Killer Bass are devising a method to make it back to camp after Harold accidentally burns their canoe paddles for firewood, showing obvious frustration.

Basic Straining
Courtney was grossed out when one of Harold's underwear s'mores, made by Geoff and Duncan, landed near her. After Duncan and Geoff give Harold the glass of kitchen grease and watch him drink it, Courtney, in a rare mood of sympathy, stands up for Harold and claims that Duncan and Geoff were "so immature" to continue pulling pranks on him. To get back at Duncan for picking on him during the season, Harold tampers with the votes, eliminating Courtney unfairly. After Courtney is told that she is eliminated, not Harold, she is outraged that her team picked Harold over her.

Haute Camp-ture
Courtney finally discovers what happened the night she was eliminated, only to find out that Harold tampered with the votes, causing her to hunt him down throughout the episode. Harold hides from Courtney in the bushes, but Courtney eventually finds him and beats him up with a lamppost. Harold says that what he did to Courtney was "pretty heinous," but he was really upset with Duncan, because he kept bugging him. Courtney and Harold get into slap fight and insult each other, and eventually fall into the pool after Courtney accidentally votes for Leshawna.

Get a Clue
Courtney manages to convince Harold to assist her in trying to stop the train by allowing him to still use his magnifying glass. When they are trying to stop the train, Courtney throws Harold's magnifying glass onto the tracks, breaking it. Harold then glares at her when she replies with "oops" in an emotionless tone. Courtney becomes increasingly annoyed at Harold for playing his keyboard, and glares at him when he does it for the fourth time. Later on, when Lindsay tells him and Beth to arrest Courtney, Harold started walking towards her.

Rock n' Rule

In the surfing challenge, Courtney and Harold choose to represent two of the final three rivals, where Courtney plays for Alejandro and Harold plays for Cody. Courtney joins everyone in laughing at Harold when he picks a deer for Cody's "spirit animal". When the challenge is revealed to be putting a lei around the animal's neck, Harold taunts Courtney for picking a jaguar when he had the much easier animal to handle. While competing in the challenge and singing I'm Winning This, the two of them constantly bicker in the lyrics that they sing.
