User blog comment:LoganParvatiTD225/Was SMS Courtney's well deserved TDA karma?/@comment-25027229-20150717174913

Would I consider it karma? Yes. It's exactly what she did to Gwen in WT, but now coming back to her a year later. Honestly, Courtney is a tragic character who will never win because she's herself. It's just who she is and she is a lost cause. Anyone who feels sorry for her should, just as anyone who doesn't should as well. There's more than one side to her arc.

I wouldn't consider her Action performance worthy of karma though. Everything there was strictly gameplay. World Tour Courtney went crazy and tried to throw challenges to boot Gwen, handling the triangle terribly. TDAS Courtney continued the Gwen hatred, understood her mistakes, and blew it when her game mode and desire to win kicked in at the final seven and planned on backstabbing her allies. Every time she acts civil, she's lying to herself and hiding her real personality, as shown countless times in TDI, TDWT, and TDAS, or at least that's how I interpret her complicated character. I say she deserved her ending. I pity her though, even if I really enjoy her TDA/SMS personality.
