I asked this question because it is something people have been questioning and I wanted to see what you guys thought :D

I say Heros because I think that she needs some positive development for once so XD

^agreed

She was one of the biggest antagonists of season 2, next to Justin respectively. I feel she should be placed on the villains team because of it. Even if she is on the villains team, she can still have positive development and redeem herself.

If she was on the villains team, that would mean she's still obsessed with getting revenge on Duncan and Gwen, and I don't want that to happen. If she's on the Heroes team, she's more likely to show the nicer sides of her personlity and be nicer in general.

Also, I don't think Courtney's going to be an antagonist anymore...she's already gotten her karma so. TD doesn't really reuse the same antagonist over and over again... hence Heather not being one of TDWT or TDA and Courtney not being one of TDWT. And I agree with wishey. Plus, there's all these people on the villains team she doesn't like. Well two, : Heather/Duncan and that'll really keep her from winning. I think she's more likely to win if she's on the Heros team.

I've heard mixed things about the Gwen/Courtney heroes/villains sides on a bunch of blogs. I heard that Courtney is casted the role of a villain.....and Gwen casted a hero (which I totally support), but then by the end of the episode, they both switch sides because they are both unhappy (I support this too....because I really want Courtney and Duncan kept apart for the sake of the show). I definitely feel like the writers are going to keep playing on the love triangle bit even though it is technically resolved (DxG together, Courtney elsewhere).

GRAMMAR NAZI ALERT: Ugh, I spelled Heros' wrong it's Heroes' -__-

Someone put this on the TDAS talk page on the wiki :

Courtney is one of the top 5 when it comes to popularity with fans, along with Duncan, Gwen, Owen, and Heather and she is anything but simple, so of course fans enjoy intrepreting her character. When did people want to root for her? I wouldn't mention TDI since she was eliminated before the merge, but I can say that her role was very rootable in TDDDDI in that she is evolving into her own character. We get the impression that she is calculative, resoursful, and competetive while not being manipulative. (She never asked for Duncan to attack the alligator, mind you. Duncan did that of his own accord and frankly, I think it's a bit disengenious to expect Courtney to be tied down to someone who will slow her down. There was no evidence to suggest that Courtney wouldn't have shared the money with Duncan, and it would've been a hinderance to them both had she stayed with him. Her indifference towards Cody, Owen, and Tyler is just that. Indifference. I highly doubt that Courtney legitamately planned to violentl murder all three of them in live television when she expects to eventually run for office later and I assume having 3 accounts of attempted murder would severly garnish her image, which is a risk Courtney would never take. Saying that Courtney is incompetent is false as well because she was the champion of single-handedly winning almost all of the challenges in TDA to the point that Chris delibertely had to set up a challenge that was literally impossible for her to win (by this, I'm referring to the Murder Mystery challenge. Claiming that she "never" takes responsibility for her actions is a silly argument as well because she doesn't just what you claim that she doesn't do! She literally slaps herself and cries out of humiliation for losing the fear challenge to the point where she (almost!) offers to take the heavy fall. Also, in TDWT, she is seen in the confessional admitting that her infatuation with Duncan has delayed her from getting to the dock in time before the other teams. I really don't see where you're getting that she doesn't take responsiblity for her actions.

Prior to Duncan in TDWT, Courtney was seen as a team player. Please tell me. How evil and villianous was it for Courtney to try to persuade Chris to let Heather help her pull the carriage? (which can ONLY benefit the team!) I'm sure that she was evil too for wanting to vote Heather off when she was unjustfiably whipped with a chain for no reason other than to satisfy Heather's sadistic cruelty. How would you react in that situation? Courtney actually handled it quite civilly whereas Leshawna (a person many regard as a hero) would have started a fistfight. Also, you seem to be ignoring the fact that Courtney wanted to save the sausage grinder before Heather tossed it out (which again could only benefit the team. Ohh, selfish Courtney, how could you! :( ) Even Post-Duncan she was civil! She attempted to let bygones be bygones with Duncan when she was forced to be his teammate. She could have done exactly what Duncan did and humiliated him but she sacrificed her dignity for a CHANCE for not only her to win immunity but for the very same person she now appalls! She was willing to put teamwork above her pride and arrogance. How exactly is that the means of a villian?

I don't see anything villanious of Courtney at all, especially in comparision to Gwen. Gwen, who openly was ashamed of it as evident by her confessional, still continued to violate Courtney's friendship. Gwen has no dignity or self-respect in that regard. Evidentally, Gwen is not honest with herself.

This is NOT mine.

^ I disagree with so much of that; some of that was really twisted to appease Courtney and her flawed actions........I wish I had a total drama wiki account. I'd really love to counter-rant on that person!!!!

Wow. Haha I'm like the complete opposite jeez I agreed with everything :D

..... I nitpick at everything and there is quite a lot that this person completely disregarded in answering. Not to mention, the whole Gwen thing.......this person needs to sit down. hahaha

Well there's a pic on the wiki talkpage that confirms that Courtney is definitely on the Heroes team....

Plus to me, she's not really an "antagonist." Sure, she had some unfair advantages in the game but the challenges she won was on her own. She just plays the game really REALLY hard and competitively, making her a huge force to be reckoned with. In fact she was winning so much on her own that Chris had to set up a challenge that was impossible for her to win. I think she's classified as an "antagonist" because her competitiveness and skills makes it extremely harder for the others to win.

^ So true.....her aggressiveness and competitiveness make her antagonistic, but also I think her behavior in TDA was a part of that too. She acted really selfish with all of her unfair "special privileges" and pulled a "Heather" by turning people against each other.

Turning people against each other? Who...? Maybe it's because I haven't watched TDA in a while.

^ She turned Harold against Leshawna and coerced him to vote her off, and turned Duncan and Justin against each other/led them both on. She even bargained all of the contestants' lives for her own and blackmailed everyone by promising to save them from an exploding building in exchange for half the prize money if anyone else won the competition.
She also had dirt on Leshawna on her PDA, cheated her way through challenges with her special privileges, received ridiculous, unfair immunities, and also copied off of Lindsay in several challenges. Not to mention, she took every challenge over the top and bossed around her team and declared herself team leader. This is why she is an antagonist and no one liked her on her own team.

I haven't watched TDA in awhile either.......this was just what I remembered from watching lol

Oh! I remember now. Okay, but she didn't intentionally turn Duncan and Justin against each other... Duncan was being over-protective about Courtney and Justin liked Courtney so... :P Plus, she wasn't "leading on" Duncan since at the time she still liked him. And most of the challenges she won was on her own and not with her "PDA." Or that's what I remember. Copied off of Lindsay...? I don't remember that either. And everyone on her team disliked from the get-co. They were loosing challenges before she got there and they were kind of lazy. And when she did she had to win most challenges by herself, and I'd be annoyed by that as well.

^^ She "bossed" her team pretty damn well, and they needed something! The only challenge they won before Courtney was "The Chefshank Redemption", and Gwen helped them! She hardly ever used her privileges, except in "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine" and her privileges were just little things, none of them would help her win the challenges. How would a gourmet dinner, cheese snacks, and a bed comforter help her win? When did she copy off of Lindsay? I actually can't remember.... lol.
I think the dirt on Leshawna was actually just a leaked out scene on Youtube. Nothing was confirmed that Courtney was the one who uploaded it. The Killer Grips were a VERY weak team, even weaker than Team Victory! Remember the episodes "The Sand Witch Project" and "Full Metal Drama"? When Lindsay took over? I love Lindsay, I really do, but her team didn't really like her when she bossed them around too, and even almost voted her off! Even Beth, her BFF!
In "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine", Courtney was pretty much the only one working on the second challenge. Owen was being a ravenous monster, and lost them their challenge, Lindsay and Beth weren't doing anything, and Justin, like usual, was doing nothing. If Courtney wasn't there, they would probably still be up that hill! With Courtney, they managed to win two EXTRA challenges as well!
In "The Princess Pride", Duncan and Justin were turned against eachother from the very moment they SAW Courtney in her princess dress. They weren't a very strong team anyways. From previous moments and moments since, Duncan is WEAK when it comes to alliances.

@joyfullness and DandC4evacute: Bossing people around is never good. It wasn't good when Lindsay did it, when Heather did it, and when Courtney did it. None of them were good leaders. The people they controlled hated them for it. There is a way to be an effective team leader without being a complete asshat. None of these ladies did that.
As for the special privileges........they are ridiculous. She was granted immunity on the episode she returned, which was ridiculous, considering everyone wanted her ass gone when she just got there. Technically, eating and sleeping better, help your game, so she was getting unfair advantages over all of the contestants. If she did win, well........that would have been a dishonest win. Anywhore, she copied off of Lindsay on the bomb challenge. Lindsay of all people disarmed the bomb, and Courtney had to copy her in order to succeed in the challenge. And the Leshawna badmouthing was on Courtney's PDA that was revealed by Beth when Beth (borrowed?) somehow got ahold of Courtney's PDA. lol I don't know why I remember these trivial Total Drama tidbits. xD
These are just some reasons as to why a lot of people don't like Courtney, me included.

@bakes: Didn't everyone do what Lindsay did in the bomb challenge (if I'm remembering correctly)...?

^^Uhm, perhaps she disarmed the bomb the same way because she wanted to disarm it herself? JS... And since when do the Total Drama franchise EVER pay attention to being technical? Lol.
A PDA has internet. Perhaps Beth was looking at some videos and HAPPENED to see that. It doesn't automatically mean Courtney sneaked into the backstage, paused for maniacal laugh, and taped Leshawna's badmouthing. (maniacal laugh? what?)
Yes, but basically all of her invincibilities (is that a word?) since have been nothing but skill, maybe "The Princess Pride", but even then she was still in strategy. For example:
"Super Hero-ld": By having a record score in the race.
"Rock n' Rule": by DESTROYING that set with her BARE HANDS!

@joyfullness: I have no idea......you are totally remembering more than me lol I just remember Courtney calling her lawyers for a bomb expert and then copying Lindsay.

@DandC4evacute: I don't get the whole bomb thing......I really don't. And oh man, don't get me started on total drama technicalities. I'm so irked by all of it!!!
As with the PDA, again, nothing is ever confirmed, but I associate it with Courtney.
I'm not saying that Courtney isn't a strong competitor. Hell, that's a great thing! I'm just saying that she takes it to the next level and alienates the people around her because of it. And also, if she didn't have those privileges in the first place, she would have been voted out at the end of Ocean's Eight or Nine due to her bossy nature/attitude towards her team.

Love Courtney, but she is a villain.

^ agreed! Still love courtney

Villians! Was there ever any doubt?

Courtney is a biotch,biotches belong on the Villains team.oh but I like Gwen and Duncan...maybe they could be on the Heros. o3o

i agree Oh! I remember now. Okay, but she didn't intentionally turn Duncan and Justin against each other... Duncan was being over-protective about Courtney and Justin liked Courtney so... :P Plus, she wasn't "leading on" Duncan since at the time she still liked him. And most of the challenges she won was on her own and not with her "PDA." Or that's what I remember. Copied off of Lindsay...? I don't remember that either.

She's always mean to her teammates and tried to lose the challenges in World Tour.
