[edit] Basic Information
Courtney is a member of the Killer Bass team on the show. Going into the show, she has assumed leadership roles for herself, serving as the treasurer of her school's student council, running for student council president and working as a counselor-in-training at a summer camp prior to becoming a contestant on TDI, and she hopes to use those experiences to help her win the game.
Courtney is a pretty girl with light brown hair and a few freckles between her eyes, and her outfit consists of a conservative gray-colored top over a white blouse and form-fitting green tights. She is often polite and sweet-natured, but she sometimes casts those personality traits aside and becomes bossy toward her Killer Bass teammates in order to ensure that the team has the proper mindset to win (although she is nowhere near as bossy as Screaming Gophers rival Heather is). Following a personal moral code, she strongly believes that people should play fair and by the rules, but she also later realizes that to get to the top, she sometimes has to break the rules. Her insistence on perfectionism and adhering to the rules, combined with constantly reminding her teammates of her past CIT experience, cause Courtney to grate on the nerves of several of the Bass.
Courtney develops a love-hate relationship with rebellious fellow Bass Duncan, who is the diametric opposite of Courtney in many ways. She frequently disapproves of Duncan constantly bending the rules and flouting the authority of Chef Hatchet, and Duncan, in turn, teases Courtney about always following the rules and seeking the approval of others. She initially gets put off by Duncan frequently hinting that she secretly likes him, but when she visits Duncan at the camp boathouse after he is sent to spend the night there by Chef for defying him one time too many, Duncan calls Courtney on her need to follow the rules all the time, then he convinces her to break a rule for a change and they head off to steal some food from the show's catering tent, which they bring back to the other campers to snack on. At that point, Courtney stops denying her feelings for Duncan and the two share a kiss, which catches the attention of Harold.
Immediately afterward, Courtney becomes the 11th camper to be voted off, but it is later revealed that she was eliminated unfairly because Harold, who had been the frequent victim of pranks pulled by Duncan (assisted by Geoff and DJ), broke into the voting ballot box and switched several ballots inside with phony ballots with Courtney's name written on them to get revenge against Duncan. As she leaves on the Boat of Losers, Duncan heads to the dock and cements his new relationship with Courtney by tossing her a souvenir—a small wooden skull carved by Duncan. At the Playa de Losers resort later on, Courtney finds out that Harold was behind her elimination and she pays the skinny geek back for it by beating him up. She returns with all the other eliminated contestants for the championship final between Gwen and Owen.
