Beth and Courtney

This article focuses on the interactions between Beth and Courtney.

Overview
In Total Drama Island, there wasn't any on-screen interaction between the two, due to the fact that both were eliminated before the merge and were on different teams. However, ever since Courtney joined Total Drama Action, there was a lot of confrontation between the two, due to Courtney being placed on the same team as Beth. Beth quickly grew to dislike Courtney's bossy and domineering attitude, and how Courtney often mistreated Beth's best friend, Lindsay. Courtney ends up disliking Beth because of her naivety and niceness. This confrontation grew even bigger once they formed an alliance, where their true tensions began. The conflict has since faded into obscurity due to Beth not advancing to the third season and Courtney doing so.

Million Dollar Babies
Courtney, along with Lindsay and Justin, celebrate Beth's victory against Heather in the badminton match. Courtney also shows Beth a private video on her PDA, which features Leshawna trash-talking the other contestants.

Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen
After they form their alliance, mainly because Courtney let Beth call Brady on her personal digital assistant, they call each other friends.

Top Dog
Courtney is seen actually being civil with Beth at the breakfast table, despite their argument and alliance break-up in the previous episode. Courtney also expresses concern over whether she and Duncan kept her awake with their relationship talk. Later, Beth is worried about Courtney's health after she gets into a fight with her shark, and again after Courtney is seen shivering once she returns from the woods.

Ocean's Eight - Or Nine
Courtney immediately clashed with Beth after assuming leadership of the team. Beth was offended when Courtney ordered her to mush, and protested that her teammates were not sled-dogs. Courtney called Beth a "complete dud" due to the Grips' poor performance in the challenge, so Beth, along with all the other teammates, voted for Courtney, even though she knew that she had immunity in the Gilded Chris ceremony.

One Million Bucks, B.C.
Beth complains about having Courtney on their team, especially after Chris reveals all the unfair advantages that Courtney would have thanks to a contract from her lawsuit. Beth calls her bossy and is very unhappy after learning that Courtney can use her personal digital assistant during the competition, as Beth is "the one with a boyfriend."

Million Dollar Babies
During this episode, Beth "sleep twirls" Courtney's PDA, almost breaking it when she tosses it in the air. Courtney barely catches it and warns Beth that if she ever touches it again, she would pay. Later in the episode, while Beth is telling everybody about the video she saw on Courtney's PDA, Courtney accuses Beth of stealing it from her.

Dial M for Merger
Courtney got angry at Beth again after Beth found her PDA on the ground. The former claimed that the latter was trying to steal it, though Beth claimed she was trying to return it to Courtney.

Super Hero-ld
Beth tried to convince Harold to work with her to vote off Duncan, in the hopes that Courtney would become despondent over Duncan's elimination and be the next one voted off. However, this proved to be unsuccessful as Leshawna was voted off instead.

The Princess Pride
Beth, along with Lindsay, were jealous that Courtney was chosen to be the princess. Chris created and sold Princess Courtney Dolls, one of which Beth used as a voodoo doll, which Courtney apparently felt the effects of. Later on, during the Gilded Chris ceremony, Chris changed the Princess Courtney Dolls to Princess Beth Dolls, because Courtney's lawyers wanted a large cut of the profits. Beth responded to this by excitedly jumping up and down and screaming with joy, but eventually started to feel pain due to the pins in the doll.

Get a Clue
When Beth asks to have some of Courtney's "prize," she angrily refuses. In the end, after Lindsay ends up winning and taking Duncan to the movies as her reward, Beth states that she can't stay mad at Lindsay for choosing Duncan over her, due to the fact that she really enjoyed watching Courtney become jealous over Lindsay's decision.

Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen
Courtney states in the confessional that she was being "forced" into forming an all-girls' alliance with Beth since Lindsay was booted off in the previous episode. Although Courtney was trying to form an alliance with Beth, they still got on each other's nerves throughout the episode, even nearly getting into a knife fight in the kitchen. Although Beth initially denied Courtney's pleas to form an alliance, she eventually capitulated after Courtney allowed her the use of her PDA. They completed the remaining part of the challenge (which involved cooking the "seven deadliest fish known to man").

2008: A Space Owen
When Courtney won the first challenge, her and Beth were allowed to decide the order in the second challenge. Beth tries to tell Courtney to let both of them go first, but Courtney covers her mouth with her hand out of annoyance. Then Courtney decides her and Beth were to go last. But once Chris explains the next challenge was the vomit comet, Courtney tries to take back her decision, but it was too late. Beth then becomes angry at her, explaining in the confessional that this is what she tried to tell her. Later, after Beth decided to do the "Vomit Comet" challenge instead of forfeiting as told by Courtney, she is seen glaring at her. They later get into a major argument in their trailer, while Beth even told Courtney that she always mean and bossy, the fight continued prior to the Gilded Chris ceremony and officially end their short-lived alliance.

Top Dog
Once the challenge began, Courtney pushed Beth over as they got to choose their animal buddy, prompting Beth to angrily comment on the similarity between Courtney and her animal buddy. Later, Courtney is shown belittling Beth even after her animal buddy found Courtney's PDA for her, which had been lost earlier in the episode. Beth does not seem the least bit upset when Courtney is finally eliminated at the end of the episode, as she voted her off due to being a threat.

Mutiny on the Soundstage
Beth shows more of her dislike of Courtney in this episode. She says that Courtney was the only person that she never bothered learning everything about. Beth talks about how she thinks it was unfair for Courtney to sue the show. Beth also said that Courtney "is barely a human being."
