[edit] Basic Information

Duncan is a member of the Killer Bass team on the show. He is a self-professed juvenile delinquent who has had a history of run-ins with the law and has spent time in juvenile detention, which is ironic due to the fact that he comes from a family which is involved in law enforcement. He correspondingly has a tough guy personality and attitude, enhanced by his manner of dress (a green Mohawk hairdo, piercings in his nose, left eyebrow and ears, and a black T-shirt with a skull on the front), and he greatly enjoys breaking the rules and getting under the skin of those he targets for his jibes and pranks.

In spite of his anti-social demeanor, Duncan does form friendships with Bass teammates DJ and Geoff, as well as with former Screaming Gophers opponents Trent and Owen after both teams are dissolved later in the competition, and he finds some common interests with Gwen (such as horror movies). He, DJ and Geoff enjoy playing pranks on the geeky Harold, which stemmed from their efforts to teach Harold a lesson for leaving his dirty underwear lying around on the floor of the Bass cabin. He has also assumed leadership roles within the Bass on several occasions, including leading his team to victory in a dodgeball challenge early in the game.

Early on, Duncan develops a love-hate relationship with the prim and proper Courtney, who is Duncan's diametric opposite in many ways. While Courtney often disapproves of Duncan constantly bending the rules and flouting the authority of Chef Hatchet, Duncan responds by teasing Courtney about always following the rules and seeking other people's approval. He frequently hints to Courtney that she secretly likes him, which annoys Courtney and puts her off, but when she goes to see Duncan while he spends the night in the camp boathouse after Chef sends him there for defying him once too often, he manages to convince Courtney to break a rule for a change, then they sneak over to the show's catering tent and steal some food right from under the noses of Chef and Chris Maclean to bring back to the other campers to munch on. Eventually, Duncan breaks down Courtney's defences as she realizes that she likes him and they share a kiss. The kiss is seen by a disgruntled Harold, who then gets back at Duncan for his pranks against him by tampering with the camper elimination ballots to get Courtney unfairly eliminated from the game.

Like all the other contestants on the show, Duncan is not a fan of Heather. Although he initially hopes that Heather gets a bunk above his own when the players are first assigned to their teams, Duncan soon comes to hate her as the result of her evil scheme to break up Gwen and Trent and, demonstrating that he does have some level of morality, he gladly joins Leshawna's crusade to vote Heather out of the game to punish her, but those plans are foiled when Heather wins immunity in a challenge. He also mistakenly believes that Heather was behind Courtney's earlier elimination (not realizing then that Harold is the actual culprit) and he vows to make Heather pay the price for it. Oddly, he forms an alliance with Heather at one point during an animal trapping challenge, but he reveals his ulterior motive for doing so during a Confessional Can session when he figures that Heather could get eaten by her assigned target, a bear.

Duncan makes it to the final four in the game, but he becomes the 21st camper eliminated when, in another guys vs. girls-type showdown, Owen costs the guys' team the challenge when, in a rush to get to a plate of iced cinnamon buns made by Chef, Owen forgets to tag a totem pole at home base, leading to Gwen and Heather getting the win. Duncan returns with the other eliminated contestants for the championship final between Gwen and Owen, where he ends up passionately kissing Courtney again.

• Courtney (indignant): You're such an ogre!
  Duncan (non-chalantly): I've been called worse.

• Courtney: Why do you smell worse than usual?
  Duncan: It's Owen's stink. It's following me around like my juvenile record.
  Courtney: Well, I'm heading back. This stupid game must be almost over by now.
  Duncan: You're going the wrong way.
  Courtney (insulted): Excuse me—I was a CIT, remember? I have a natural sense of direction. Camp is this way.
  Duncan (pointing in the other direction): No, it's that way. (Courtney rolls her eyes and continues to move forward; Duncan does the same, and both bump into each other and get their deer antlers tangled up)
