She suffered sure. And she paid a debt. But she didn't exactly learn too much, and that's why sometimes they go the extra length for punishing her, because she's so self-absorbed in her own ego that she can never do any wrong, and that's why the show repeatedly gives her repercussions for it.

What you're hoping to happen to her is nice and all but to say she didn't deserve the smackdown she's gotten and got more than she deserved is a bit far. For example, in Sundae Muddy Sundae she makes a list that was designed to be blueprints of how to use her own friends to her advantage to win. And once she was called out on this, she tried to cut corners to prevent being voted off for it, only to make matters worse for herself by things plummeting with Scott and Gwen even further, with the former being determined to make her lose the challenge and the latter only voting with her if she votes herself off. And despite all of that she still rushes in headstrong to complete things all on her own which again backfires with the bird poop she gets in her sundae and subsequent elimination.

I say all this as a fan of Courtney and that above episode but it's just an easy example off the top of my head that the worst things that have happened to Courtney usually only sprout because of her own doing. The only exception to this is when Harold rigged the votes against her in the first season, but that was still ultimately solved by her successfully suing the show and getting a spot back in the second season, the season of which she becomes a much more deranged and cutthroat person than before after how the show was to her. Otherwise she mostly brings problems to her own doorstep.
