I think Duncney had the potential of being an "opposites attract" relationship but in a healthy way. How it was in Season 1 was probably the best for them before they got toxic. As for Gwen and Duncan, I would have preferred if Gwen just stayed with Trent.
I think that Courtney was always mad at Duncan & i think that affected him emotionally to the point where he did something he KNEW would hurt her back. enter gwen. he took full advantage of gwen’s feelings & used her. i’m willing to bet that despite his actions, he still loved courtney. he never stared at gwen like he did with courtney, he never said he loved gwen. & if you pay attention, 9 times out of 10, he only wants to kiss gwen when courtney is close by. Gwen was a tool. he was angry, & hurt. & because of that, he made a stupid decision in order to deal with it. he used gwen right from world tour all the way into all-stars. he was never over courtney. he proved that.
Fr he decided to take the easy route instead of facing his problems and talking to Courtney abt it. Although she likes stuff going her way, she would have listened to him and tried her hardest to improve the way she acted in the relationship because it was obvious she cared abt him. I also don’t think he was fully thinking when he kissed Gwen, because he was so used to getting back with Courtney every time they broke up. He didn’t realise the damage he was making
He wanted to be appreciated more and showed that he was a catch by hitting on Gwen because he knew he could make her fall for him. He didn’t have a crush on her, he was literally using her. That makes so much sense
Yeah Fr, Ducan did prove that he still liked Courtney in All stars cuz Im pretty sure when Courtney and Gwen became kinda okay like friends or smth ducan asked "did courtney say anything abt me???" Or smth liks that I DONT REMEMBER. Now thinking about it, if ducan didnt kiss gwen and him and courtney are still together in my guess, they would be okay. Ducan kinda- changed courtney cuz, if u think about it Courtney on Season 1 cared ACTUALLY CARED for ducan ykk.And probably courtney would of changed Ducan to not bully like come on- ducan always bullied harold remember? Talking about that Courtney stood up for harold so, Courtney would of changed Ducan to be nicer right? So Courtney and Gwen would be best friends! No argue. Cuz i shipped Trent and Gwen, Courtney and Ducan. I DONT KNOW JUST HOW THE PRODUCERS MADE DUCAN X GWEN. probably cuz Courtney was controlling and toxic, Its understandable but like COME ON cheating on someone with there friend or best friend? Seriously? Thats just harsh. We can predict Ducan was just using Gwen to get back to courtney cuz courtney was toxic. But isnt that too far? Like ducan was probably using Gwen as a get away from courtney But anyway I dont entirely blame ducan, I say that all 3 of them had a mistake. Courtney was Controlling, Ducan Started cheating and Gwen didnt do anything when ducan cheated with her. I dont blame them too much cuz its the producers who ruined their character. Season 1 was so fine with all the characters, season 2,3 and 5 just ruined them especially courtney. They make mistakes so dont entirely blame either ducan, courtney or gwen. They are just teenagers, they make mistakes they arent perfect. This is kinda all i have to say sorry if its long or wrong u can just tell me or like correct me or says some facts. I respect everyones oppinion if they like Gwen x Ducan, its not ur fault, Gwen and ducan had a less toxic relationship but for me they look like they have a sibling relationship. Thats all
i agree with you, and they ruined it bc cartoon network forced them but, the original Duncan character would never cheats on Courtney, he is too in love with her he literally adores her until the last season 2 episode lol, its pretty unnatural his behaviour in s3,anyway i hope in a s3 reboot i would prefer that one respect to a new season on them, but ill'accept a new season on them too if that makes them come back together i guess @@March508
To be fair courtney was treating duncan like trash BUT that was still no excuse for duncan to cheat not only that but the fact gwen and courtney started developing as best friends made it worse because knowing that your boyfriend cheated on you with your bestfriend probably was a devastating realization for courtney (also even if duncan and gwen had a good dynamic i still think trent and gwen had more chemistry)
I really can’t be asked to explain this again so imma make it as short as I can 😭 Duncan and Courtney weren’t together. They broke up. And they never agreed to get back together
@@MasterStartist5 exactly. Everybody be assuming but it’s never stated that they were together. What is stated is that they broke up. How can Duncan cheat if he ain’t in a relationship 😭
Season 3, Episode 13 is where everything truly goes downhill. Duncan and Courtney were only good in Season 1. By Season 2, they completely ruined Courtney’s character, making her unbearably controlling with her endless “rules” for their relationship. She even got mad at Duncan for not knowing she was thinking of the color *burnt sienna* during the TDA finals??? Meanwhile, Duncan’s behavior in Season 3 was outright terrible (and honestly, I don’t think I even need to explain why). Such wasted potential 😢☹️.
I genuinely loved Courtney in action before the episode where she made the 32 page essay, if they wouldn't make her make the essay I would've liked her more, she'd be a better villain in action if she never made the essay
I mean yeah, it’s still wrong should he have actually cheated, but I very much understand where he’s coming from. I don’t care what you say, if you’re a toxic and controlling bitch who wants everything to go your way then I’m cheating on yo ass as soon as I find the right person
Hey, I don't blame Duncan at all for wanting to escape from a toxic relationship. Courtney's trust issues, overcompetitive behavior, and overbearing nature drove Duncan away. If I were writing this show, I would have made Duncan dump Courtney before kissing Gwen to make them the far more sympathetic ones in the whole love triangle argument. But still, it's Courtney's fault for pushing away her own boyfriend and trying to control him, so I side with Duncan and Gwen on this one. I don't fully justify Duncan for kissing Gwen, but I mostly do. But that's my opinion.
@@magicalhikari5859 Thank you fir agreeing with me. Courtney was the worst partner to Duncan and I honestly think he needed to get away from her. Duncan and Gwen had so much potential before they were ruined in that piece of crap of a season, All-Stars.
Based on the evidence, Duncan did indeed cheat. However, it isn’t exactly an open and shut case. While there is no doubt both Duncan and Gwen were wrong to kiss while Duncan was still technically dating Courtney, I always felt he did it due to the pressure his relationship with Courtney was giving him at the time. Their relationship was becoming extremely toxic, and the stress from this caused Duncan’s judgement to probably be clouded and go to Gwen in order to escape it. Before anyone asks, no, I don’t believe Courtney or Gwen are outright villains in this situation either. Gwen did made a terrible choice that ended a potentially strong friendship she could have had with Courtney. Courtney became vengeful when she learned the truth to the point of wanting to harm both Gwen and Duncan. Both were in the wrong completely, but were letting their emotions lead them to make these terrible choices in a love triangle that was becoming more and more of a stressful issue by the day. In conclusion, yes, all three characters wrongly handled the situation, but I feel everything happened because none of the three teens could grapple with their emotions about the love triangle and thus made extremely impulsive decisions.
Yeah, if Duncney were ‘in love’ it was one-sided at best at that point. Duncan didn’t want to continue dating Courtney but only said yes just because of the way Courtney was. She’s a toxic crybaby who doesn’t deserve to be dating Duncan. Again, whilst ‘cheating’ (if it would even be cheating at that point) is morally questionable at best, I feel like Duncan was kind of in the right to do so here. Yk the phrase ‘sometimes you gotta break a couple eggs’? That’s pretty much it. Duncan clearly deserved better, and someone who wouldn’t treat him as some kind of play-toy, and thus opted for Gwen, someone who actually appreciates him as a person. Things would have gone smoothly if Courtney didn’t go full-Yandere and thus became a worse simp than Sierra at that point in time
I feel like it's important to remember that all this drama is happening with teenagers who just became famous and this is probably all of their first relationships
@@koraeaton6467 I 100% agree! I could see a similar situation happening in real life to a bunch of teenagers who just got famous. Due to the stress, their decision making would probably be impaired.
I loved Duncney in Season 1. I didn't like how Courtney became Dolores Umbridge and Sakura Haruno combined in season 2. I get why she blew up and sued the show because Harold got her kicked off last season. I'd do the same if i were in her position. She literally treated Duncan the way Sakura hits Naruto. But that does not change the fact Duncan cheated. I get why he did so but theres a better way to go about it. If I were him, I'd be honest and lay down the law about Courtney's behavior, and/or dump her for Gwen rather than cheat. And maybe then they'd get back together in All-Stars. That is if it were up to me.
Gwen and Duncan were better off as friends. People not because they kinda have the same aesthetic that doesn’t mean they should be together. Uhm no- The fact Gwen was like “Omg I can’t believe I kissed Courtney’s boyfriend” then in all star she was like “ They weren’t dating! You can’t steal a boy when he’s free” the switch up- Gurly he didn’t even want you cause after world tour he when back to obsessing over Courtney. She should have just stayed with Trent🤦🏾♀️
Courtney was toxic for a while, but she loved Duncan, and then he cheated on her. He could have just broke up with her instead of cheating. Duncan also took advantage of Gwen to make Courtney jealous. He took advantage of Gwen's feelings too.
Gwen at least felt bad for what happened, which is something Heather isn’t capable of. She was also going to tell Courtney the truth of what happened. People calling her a second heather is really unfair.
Imagine finding out your boyfriend was "Cheating" on you with a girl you hate on a reality show just to find out she planned it all and then you get back with him but he's crazy and loves thr number 9, You break up with him again and then next season you befriend a girl, Her boyfriend leaves the game and then come backs and hugs the girl while looking at you saying he always missed you but in a way it felt like he was telling the girl, Then you kiss him, And now calls you the 2 version of the girl who made your boyfriend and you break up for fake cheating
You know that it’s such a bad sign where the most beloved characters became more hated because of the poorly written sequels! PSD: Courtney is far from being a victim since she felt NO remorse for what she did and behave after TDA even if she got some comeuppance. Stop romanticizing abusers, they’re not better people than liars, cheaters and even murderers!
I agree. At least Gwen isn’t toxic and is willing to own up to what happened. Did she make a mistake? Yes. did she feel bad and want to fix things? Yes. All while Courtney didn’t want to admit that she’s wrong and is willing to use people for some sick revenge plot or to win a contest. In my honest opinion, Courtney acted more like Heather than Gwen ever could.
@@justempty7036 I never said that I prefer murderers over abusers. Quit putting words in my mouth and stop pretending that Courtney did nothing wrong! Of course they’re are people arguably worse than Courtney but that doesn’t mean that she deserves to get a free pass, what I mean is that she is just equally as awful as many other scoundrels anyone can think of. That’s why I said she is not better person than those and she can’t be the best person any fan can ever preach.
@@hanzfantasma8172 You must be delusional if you think ı'm defending her. This is a show where creators wants people to laugh at getting hurt. And every character has a Sterotype written for them. Courtney is a typical type a personality.When its competition this kinda people would do anything to win. Control and manipule others to their own advantage. And you know what Duncan actually enjoys how he cant control a type a physcopath like Courtney. Everytime Courtney does something violent (verbally or Physcially) Duncan likes it even more ( this is pretty clear in season 2,1).İ would say Duncan is violent but Courtney is way more violent then him which is something Duncan likes. This whole cheating thing... Many people has theories why it happened but personally it was just cn thinking they had to do something to add more drama to the show.Duncan was always interested in gwen. But not romantically. Until season 3.Even in the Aftermath show He doesn't takes his eyes off courtney and hardly looks to Gwen. While Gwen has romantic feelings for him. Like gwen Trent breakup world Tour is a disasterpiece for me.
I’d argue Courtney was actually the culprit here, more so than Gwen and Duncan combined. She’s a toxic and controlling crybaby who just wants what she wants all to herself. The way she was treating Duncan was well out of order and whilst cheating is of course morally questionable at best, I feel like we’re giving Duncan more shit than he deserves as far as the problem goes. He clearly deserved much better than Courtney, and Gwen is literally that
At the end of the day both ships are toxic Courtney was abusive to duncan And duncan never really love gwen and was just using her to make Courtney jealous
You know what angers me the most is that duncey and gwent weren't going to break up originally. The creators and fresh TV planned to make them endgame. 😭 BUT Cartoon network ruined everything they ruined the script bc they wanted to teach kids the whole date ppl like u thing and that breakups happen in life. The creator didn't even want them to break up but they were forced. Like BRUH I love duncey and gwent but I despise gwuncan. I'd rather die than ever ship them MARK MY WORDS. GWENT AND DUNCEY FOREVERRRRRRR❤❤❤❤
Yk what really p!sses me of abt Gwen is that in the confessional’s, right after she kissed Duncan, she admits to kissing Courtney’s boyfriend (implying that court and Duncan were together) when she kissed Duncan, but then eventually she says to OTHER CONTESTANTS ‘they weren’t even together when I kissed him’ just to make herself look better. LIKE GIRL YOU KNOW THAT THEY WERE TOGETHER SO ADMIT IT AND STOP BEING A PICK ME. Plus she’s a homewrecker. Team duncney all the way
Duncney in season 1 was great in the episodes they had building up to their relationship as well as when they do get together; But after that it got toxic. Gwen and Duncan DO NOT WORK as a couple OR belong with each other AT ALL and I'd much rather see Gwen with Trent
Duncney, it was good all of season 1 and the only reason it became toxic was because of cartoon Network asking the writers to make Gwuncan a thing..trough out Gwuncan you can obviously tell Duncan wanted Courtney back
I loved Duncan and Courtney being together and it was kinda shocking and heartbreaking that one of my favorite ships were getting destroyed. Despite Courtney being a total drama girl. they were an awesome ship 💖 I wish that Gwen stayed with Trent because they were also an amazing ship in season 1. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE DUNCNEY 😭💔❤
I think it all stemmed from the writers absolutely destroying Trent in s2, if it wasn’t for him being so clingy, gwen would still be with Trent therefore I doubt Duncan and gwen would’ve kissed since there would be no feelings for each other and duncney would still be together. I feel as though they also destroyed gwen because she gives such feminist energy and she would never let a man come in the way of her friendship. Literally all of the currently flawed characters started their downfall in s2 when they could’ve had so much potential. Long story short, Trent was the root of the breakup when he literally did nothing
All three of them need to be alone for now. They don't have the discipline for a relationship. Courtney is controlling, Duncan still obviously likes Courtney while dating Gwen, and Gwen doesn't know a red flag when she sees it. Like how many times does Duncan have to say "Has Courtney said anything about me?" for you to realize "Maybe he still likes Courtney" 😂
Courtney is the most toxic person istg im glad duncan cheated to get back at her, she deserves it, Duncan is my favourite character of all time, she dont get to play the victim card after abusing him and controlling him so bad
It’s kinda Duncan’s fault tbh, Gwen felt so sorry she was hitting her self in the face, crying and even went on whole other season just to try make things better with Courtney. Duncan barely apologised and even before the whole Gwuncan thing, Duncney was kinda toxic especially at the end of tda.
They we're ruined because the studio wanted to make Duncan and gwen a thing . and oh boy gwencan was toxic too because that dude literally flirted with gwen when Courtney wasn't in ( season 2 action)
@@alien-eater nah, OP has it right. Courtney is one of the most toxic characters in Total Drama history, but nobody recognises such because of how popular Courtney is as a character. Whilst such toxicity doesn’t justify Duncan allegedly cheating (although reminder, it isn’t illegal, just morally questionable at best) you do have to factor in the shit Courtney was putting him through in that relationship, at least where Action is concerned
I like Duncney in season 1 only. Otherwise, I don’t ship Duncan with anyone else. Courtney- I ship her with Scott too. Gwen- I ship her with Geoff, Trent, AND Courtney😭😂
It’s funny how a lot of people draw the line at Duncan cheating on Courtney but don’t draw the line at Courtney physically abusing him. At that point, who cares if he cheats?
Imagine if Duncan was doing all of that to Courtney and she cheated on him with someone else. I could see that being more excused since the double standard of abuse is drastic 😬.
Yup I agree! Courtney’s toxic behaviour towards Duncan is one of the many reasons I dislike her as a character. I’ve covered how abusive she is to Duncan before on my channel.
yep, people really dont care just because courtneys a fan favorite and all, duncan is too but courtney is the most popular and id say courtney was moreeee toxic than duncan. and i hate duncan so this is saying something
the fact that Duncan could have told Courtney on how her attitude was bothering him instead of straight up cheating like this relationship could have been saved but Duncan cheated😑
Courtney and Duncan were cute in season 1 but in season 2 their relationship went down hill because Courtney got controlling but people don't understand she got controlling because she was worried that Duncan would cheat on her with Gwen and when that happened she went crazy what Duncan did was messed up first of all cheating is messed up but cheating on your girlfriend with your girlfriends best friend is messed up. Also I wanted to add Duncan ruined Courtney and I have proof Courtney in season 1 before she started dating Duncan was great and then they started dating and she got rude also when Duncan wasn't there for half of season three she was amazing and nice but when Duncan is there she is rude and controlling
Duncan tricked Gwen into falling for him, but Fresh TV’s social media said that Duncan did NOT truly love Gwen. Both Gwen and Courtney deserve better than that dishonest jerk Duncan. I still think Gwen should get back with Trent after she learned how Duncan had been deceiving her the entire time while cheating on Courtney.
Thank you for saying this!! THIS IS ALL DUNCAN'S FAULT. The fact he never learns his lessom and own up to his mistakes has always been irritating. Honestly Courtney and Gwen deserve better and faithful and commited men. AS A SIDENOTE: Only if Gwen wants to get into a serious relationship.
@@gothikaxenon fr he only liked the number 9 it's not because it's like gwentrent it's because of his backstory he thinks because her name hits the 9 letters like trentgwen I think he thinks of her as soul mates because the fitting name
I like Duncney more but here is why I think Gwuncan is toxic. In all stars, Duncan still liked Courtney while dating Gwen. Also, Duncan and Gwen’s relationship mainly revolved around Courtney. meaning that Duncan still worried about Courtney while dating Gwen and he would non stop talking about it. Also, during the Duncney relationship in season 3, Courtney claimed that Duncan was still her bf so this is all very confusing.
Honestly Gwen used to be my favorite character and Courtney was my 2nd favorite and I loved how Dunkin and Courtney were dating but soon that took a quick turn when I found out that Gwen kissed Dunkin it broke my heart into pieces when they started to date I felt bad for Courtney so much and that’s how Gwen became my first favorite character to me least favorite character
I prefer Duncney but it was toxic and Courtney did treat him like trash and for gwuncan I see they wouldve been a good couple if the writers wrote it right the same thing with Duncney
I feel like Duncan made Cortney behave like that yk in season one there was an episode where Cortney did some bad things and got worse and worse. Season two their relationship got toxic in a way a when Duncan kissed Gwen and Courtney found out she was like mad a Gwen the most till Gwen got mad a Duncan(she should’ve stayed with Trent idk what happened) but Gwen and Courtney becoming friends was the best but I wish Duncey was still there :C
He did cheat and I’m upset that Gwen didn’t tell her she would’ve been less angry and Duncan admitted he was still dating her and Gwen said “ I KISSED COURTNEYS BOYFRIEND “
Duncney had so much potential! Sadly, the writers wanted more drama and they made that love triangle that ended up ruinning most of the iconic characters from S1. We also know from S5 that Duncan actually never stopped loving Courtney, but he wanted that she could pay attention to him again. He cheated with Gwen just to make Courtney jealous, and used Gwen to reach his goal, which was totally wrong for him to do. Once Courtney found out, he realized that he messed up, he actually began developing some feelings for Gwen, but at the end Duncan's love for Courtney was stronger. Yes, we got the drama, but was it really worth it? No. I also hate how the writers made Courtney be so inmature, and I hate that Duncney got ruined because it was a really good ship. I think if the writers decided to focus more on the healthy relashionships rather than the break ups our iconic characters would still be loved. Truth is Gwen should have stayed with Trent. (They turned Trent into a maniac but still. S1 ships will always be better than anything.)
I really enjoyed seeing Gwen and Duncan together as the characters tended to be compatible but their writing was a total disaster, even for Courtney who served as "sacrifice" for it and then simply Duncan who was "sacrificed" to fix this mistake...
The things how I see it Courtney and Duncan liked each other during first season, bc Courtney like Duncan for being a challenging person and fascenated by that inesplorated territory, she want to conquer it and change it to the better, while Duncan like Courtney bc she knows where she want to go, determinated with a good leadership (also supportive leader) but that can show a sweet and fragile part of them. Courtney personality is about being a leader, and want to have controlls of things around her. When she got eliminated in 1 season, is bc of Harold that take hand in the votes to kick her out, and she was unfairly out of the game, and in season 2 she was not at the start, so things that she can controll her and unfair tbh After that, the scandal about Gwen and Duncan during start of season 2 and the Trent break up (that being Jeff fault for exagerating things and cruel, even thi footage are sus?) she has got another unfair thing That is when her toxics trait about lawyer for taking controll started. She return to the game, and after second season, she relying on lawyers for taking controll for what she is afraid losing, lime the game or her boyfriend. The problem with this behavior of toxic controll and manipulation is that she want to controll to much Duncan's life in every way, and this is bad and Duncan is feeling bad staying with her and her toxics trait Then in season 3 stuff happen, and Gwen and Courtney become best friend, but they found Duncan. With that, Duncan dont want to stay with Courtney, bc he cant stand with her toxic trait and her in general. Duncan is a person that is a good guy that when in a good situation and controll of it, he acts for the benefict of the other bc he is good in those calm situation, but when thing goes angaist him, he doesnt face problem, rather try to avoid finding alternative solution That being said, with Gwen got a friendship during the series, and one of Gwen trait favorite of Duncan is the fragile part, but also a kinda distant one, and he love that trait. So, it would be normal that he feel now in love with a different person, bc he dont feel love with Courtney. So the normal solution would be to break up by saying he doesnt love Courtney? No Duncan and Courtney live in a toxic relationship and have both toxics traits (more on Courtney) Courtney would not accept the break up and would do everything do deny or not leavinf Duncan from her grasp Duncan on the other hand, he is evasive and he dont face problem. Seeing Gwen like a possibily of going out of the his toxic relationship and finding good feeling again for himself and someone else Then drama happens, Gwen felt guilty about her action as a friend, so she was insicure, she question if what she did was wrong, not for love, but as a friend Sadly Duncan take advantage of the situation and Gwen introvert personality and lowselfesteem, make her take him the lead. They have cheated, Duncan cheated on Courtney while he was in a relationship with her without talking about it, Gwen betrayl the trust of her friendship with Courtney. With that, Courtney now has lost unfair the game before, the boyfriend again, and lastly a person who she could trust with. That falling of her trust she has turn what she is, a person that now has a trauma about losing things she loves or strive for, in an unfair way and behing her back, to be now desperate of controll and not trusting more anyone. So, in a technical way Courtney was in the right about what happen to her (and causing trauma) but morally speaking she put her in a worse position than Duncan and Gwen bc her action was worse than what she get. She think is in the right for thr unfairness she get from other people from the back, but that block her judgement on herself and her action and she ended up being a person that is "permited" to do everything, even bad thing, bc she got bad things by others At the end, we can say, everyone is in the wrong Courtney became toxic, event tho she has the potential to return on herself for her positive trait of judgement before her downspiral Duncan wanted to go out of a situation with his way, making two friend end terribly just for his need and not making everyone on good term Gwen is more the victim, she is insicure and didnt really what to do, and she isnt a direct person, she is an introvert, and for her fear, she left the event go by itself What I can say, it would help therapy for all three, they can be better for sure.
And Trent kinda let Gwen take her own paths in making decisions in a way and he cares about Gwen alot he was so worried (in season two )that Gwen was distancing her self way and that they were competing against each other (and tbh he was kinda jealous that Duncan and Gwen were getting close) BUT TELL ME HOW GOES GWUNCAN ENTER THE PICTURE 😭
@@JENNIFER_705 Trent is a good guy, but during the 1 season he forget Gwen under the sand, and he was tricked by Heater. One ismt his fault, but he make a mistake and try to remedy about that i. the finale, but Gwen with time even tho he likes chill dudes and more on the controll side Trent tho didnt have the lesd role always, in some situation ask confirm in general to Gwen, and she isnt a person that like to take decision and such (that is why she ended up making bad decision, bc she doenst stod up for herself and let the event playing by themself instead of controlling it) its possible that Gwen liked Trent but by time passed, she felt that he isnt the one, but couldnt face it to him, and season 2 happen. Trent as obsession disorder (not confirmed tho) for staying in controll of situation, so he got his side of insecurity where he has to know to feel safe, and season 2 make him unstable for lack of a stable situation and stuff happen Gwendun is not a bad one, but I can see there are better optionfor Gwen, like people with the personality of Geoff: carismatic, outstanding, cheerful and reassuring Duncan need a person like Courtney, but less controlling, more a teasing person with a side of soft and weak side
I feel like it wasn’t Duncan tried to end their relationship but she said know she was so controlling, that’s a reason why I hate her, but I think personally that Gwen and Duncan were good and besides Courtney knew it wouldn’t last forever she even said that in all stars
@@barluepanye3850 When did he try to end the relationship???? He just kissed Gwen behind her back and wasn’t planning on telling her anything about it. He’s only sorry because he got caught.
@@princorporated-1999 in celebrity manhunt they were arguing a lot, and Duncan said multiple times he wanted to break up, and in the episode he dropped out he was annoying because Courtney kept being annoying
Why do I wretch everytime Duncan and Gwen kiss 😭 And also, at the end Duncan said “that there is why I like you” to Gwen, not love, like. In s1 when Courtney was running to get the money she said “No one is going to steak the money that I stole!” And he said “I love that woman”. So you know
the writers totally ruined the whole thing between courtney and duncan and just for the sake of DRAMA gwen and courtney were also on good terms too. yeah courtney was a bit mean to duncan but it isnt an excuse for duncan to hook up with another girl😢
I'm all for Team Gwuncan and not really a fan of Duncney even when I was watching the show on television. Sure I don't approve of Gwen kissing Courtney's man Duncan when they were together and her soon enough finding out later after her and Gwen were starting to get along but at the same time it should be a lesson to never cheat with your best friend's lover period because there will be a lot of drama and violence that's not even necessary
I don’t ship Gwen and Duncan but after season one Courtney and Duncan weren’t the greatest ship because in season one it was enemy’s to lover and then it was just quite toxic and I’ll admit it as a Duncan and Courtney shipper but Gwen and Duncan weren’t a good ship in my opinion and if Duncan wasn’t going to have Courtney as his love interest it’s better to not have one at all also I do really really think Gwen should have kept Trent they were better
What makes me upset about Duncney is that they ruined their relationship over matching aesthetics with Gwen, when Gwen and Duncan were better as friends, then lovers. All Stars ruined it further by destroying Duncan’s character. In All Stars, you can even tell he had feelings for her still and he was actually jealous of Scott. But you can tell he liked her yelling and her bossiness, they liked qualities about each other that others would find toxic and it honestly just nice to see them be together throughout Season 1 alongside both of them helping each other grow as people
i love gwuncan and duncney (only in s1), but tbh i would’ve preferred if gwen and trent stayed together, and courtney and duncan broke up for good. or at least stayed healthy. but with courtney’s personality, that’s most likely not possible.
reason: in season 2 when courtney came back duncan was shocked as you might expect they would act normal but no they were actually mean to eachother but courtney was meaner she gave duncan a 4000 pag essay and kice him in the worst part and she used justin to make duncan jealous which justin got eliminated in courtney couldive been a nicer person if duncan didint change her attitude but on the other hand in season 1 duncan was kind of beeing friendly with gwen but in season 2 they became best friens and its the same season where gwen dumped trent before courtney came back courtney saw footage of duncan and gwen beeing very close friends and that made courtney think that duncan was cheating with gwen and drama hapens in the aftershow meanwhile in season 3 before gwuncan was a thing Courtney was flirting with alejandro and expected duncan to think nothing of it and then the drama happens
Uh, technically no they didn’t get back together… Just Because They Kissed Didnt Confirm They We’re Back Together It Was More Of A Spur Of The Moment Thing! Though If Courtney Thought They We’re Together Again Duncan Should’ve Told Her Otherwise!
Uh, technically yes they were back together. Courtney was referring to Duncan as her boyfriend and Duncan made no effort to deny it. And he went behind Courtney’s back to kiss Gwen. If he wasn’t dating Courtney then why was he keeping his interest in Gwen a secret?
@@TotalMansion That’s Why Everyone Was At Fault In This Situation! Duncan Should’ve Said Something About It Instead Of Leading Her On To Still Think They Were Together. Also He Probably Kept It Q Secret Cause He Knew She Would Flip Out About It!
@heatherheatheroglu4431 1. Have you seen how Courtney acted when they WERE TOGETHER! She would definitely act like that especially if Duncan goes and date her what was going to be her friend(speaking of which) 2. I wouldn’t wanna be friends with someone who dates my ex(well depends on the situation) besides they were just getting along they weren’t friend friends yet.
@heatherheatheroglu4431 I did they were bonding over a subject which *LEADS* to a friendship and then it’s broken ONE episode later. (Also in the celebrity manhunt special it said they broke up so I don’t know what you mean is “wrong” And Courtney kicking him in the nuts is just very extra and unnecessary she already gave him a black eye and pour a bowl on his head)
@heatherheatheroglu4431 You’re Right…They we’re friends for an episode and a half before they reveal it rendering all that bonding totally pointless. Also It NEVER said that Duncan and Courtney Were back together NOT ONCE! So how about YOU go watch it again because clearly you haven’t seen it in a while 😒
In my personal opinion, Duncan just was sick of Courtney and was stressed up, plus he wanted "Revenge" on Courtney for all what she did to him in Action. Duncan kissed Gwen on purpose, but Duncan didn't really liked Gwen, he just wanted Courtney to regret what all she did to him before, and became she Jealous... But then the things screwed up because GWEN kissed him and didn't regreted it, NEVER. Duncan at least tried to keep a sorry to Courtney, but it didn't helped, so he was with Gwen there... Then, Gwen liked doing it and said "I became friends with Courtney and I kissed her BOYFRIEND, I'm a horrible person!" (Which is right.) Then in All-Stars Gwen was inconsistent as HELL. Because she said that Duncan and Courtney weren't together when the kiss happened?? *MAKE UP YOUR MIND.* But well, the people hate Duncan for being the "Cheater" but TO ME all he wanted is Jealousy of Courtney and revenge on her, but he messed up... (Obviously, he didn't had to cheat on her, he could just have finished it...) But anyways! Gwen sucks, Duncan was over-hated and Courtney was the *Victim* here! 😊
i think... YO THEY WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER IN S1 WHY DID THEY CHANFE THEM. also, courtney changed bc gwen and duncan had some moments in s1-s2 so i think courtney is kinda right
I will say the toxicity between Courtney and Duncan was harsh especially how controlling Courtney gets, but with Gwen and Duncan slipping moves with each other behind Courtney’s back was also bad. Honestly even though this might make it worse or not, the 3 don’t seem like a bad trio. Polyamorous is still existence for the ones who are also Lgtbq+ and this is a non-canon thought anyway. In also hopes that both girls be satisfied with the man or not..💀 FOR ONES LIKE ME WHO CAN’T DECIDE WHAT SHIP THEY FEEL IS BEST OR WANT EVEN THOUGH IM MORE ON DUNCNEY-
Duncan and Courtney had amazing potential but is was thrown away due to bad writing and wanting the two only goth characters to get together. Duncan and Gwen had a nice FRIENDSHIP dynamic not a romantic one.
DUNCNEY or GWUNCAN?
Duncney but Gwuncan is much less toxic
Neither.
Duncney in season 1
Duncney awww I miss them so much 😟
Neither one of them tbh, both of them deteriorated after a while.
I think Duncney had the potential of being an "opposites attract" relationship but in a healthy way. How it was in Season 1 was probably the best for them before they got toxic. As for Gwen and Duncan, I would have preferred if Gwen just stayed with Trent.
That honestly would’ve been better than a love pentagon
Fr, Its just I REALLY feel Trent when I hear that Gwen and Duncan is flirting to each other. AND. Courtney wasn't there.
Agreed
If trent wasnt so dum they would be together
Trent went psycho
I think that Courtney was always mad at Duncan & i think that affected him emotionally to the point where he did something he KNEW would hurt her back. enter gwen. he took full advantage of gwen’s feelings & used her. i’m willing to bet that despite his actions, he still loved courtney. he never stared at gwen like he did with courtney, he never said he loved gwen. & if you pay attention, 9 times out of 10, he only wants to kiss gwen when courtney is close by.
Gwen was a tool. he was angry, & hurt. & because of that, he made a stupid decision in order to deal with it. he used gwen right from world tour all the way into all-stars. he was never over courtney. he proved that.
Fr he decided to take the easy route instead of facing his problems and talking to Courtney abt it. Although she likes stuff going her way, she would have listened to him and tried her hardest to improve the way she acted in the relationship because it was obvious she cared abt him. I also don’t think he was fully thinking when he kissed Gwen, because he was so used to getting back with Courtney every time they broke up. He didn’t realise the damage he was making
😮😮😮😮
He wanted to be appreciated more and showed that he was a catch by hitting on Gwen because he knew he could make her fall for him. He didn’t have a crush on her, he was literally using her. That makes so much sense
Yeah Fr, Ducan did prove that he still liked Courtney in All stars cuz Im pretty sure when Courtney and Gwen became kinda okay like friends or smth ducan asked "did courtney say anything abt me???" Or smth liks that I DONT REMEMBER. Now thinking about it, if ducan didnt kiss gwen and him and courtney are still together in my guess, they would be okay. Ducan kinda- changed courtney cuz, if u think about it Courtney on Season 1 cared ACTUALLY CARED for ducan ykk.And probably courtney would of changed Ducan to not bully like come on- ducan always bullied harold remember? Talking about that Courtney stood up for harold so, Courtney would of changed Ducan to be nicer right? So Courtney and Gwen would be best friends! No argue. Cuz i shipped Trent and Gwen, Courtney and Ducan. I DONT KNOW JUST HOW THE PRODUCERS MADE DUCAN X GWEN. probably cuz Courtney was controlling and toxic, Its understandable but like COME ON cheating on someone with there friend or best friend? Seriously? Thats just harsh. We can predict Ducan was just using Gwen to get back to courtney cuz courtney was toxic. But isnt that too far? Like ducan was probably using Gwen as a get away from courtney
But anyway I dont entirely blame ducan, I say that all 3 of them had a mistake. Courtney was Controlling, Ducan Started cheating and Gwen didnt do anything when ducan cheated with her. I dont blame them too much cuz its the producers who ruined their character. Season 1 was so fine with all the characters, season 2,3 and 5 just ruined them especially courtney. They make mistakes so dont entirely blame either ducan, courtney or gwen. They are just teenagers, they make mistakes they arent perfect. This is kinda all i have to say sorry if its long or wrong u can just tell me or like correct me or says some facts. I respect everyones oppinion if they like Gwen x Ducan, its not ur fault, Gwen and ducan had a less toxic relationship but for me they look like they have a sibling relationship. Thats all
i agree with you, and they ruined it bc cartoon network forced them but, the original Duncan character would never cheats on Courtney, he is too in love with her he literally adores her until the last season 2 episode lol, its pretty unnatural his behaviour in s3,anyway i hope in a s3 reboot i would prefer that one respect to a new season on them, but ill'accept a new season on them too if that makes them come back together i guess @@March508
To be fair courtney was treating duncan like trash BUT that was still no excuse for duncan to cheat not only that but the fact gwen and courtney started developing as best friends made it worse because knowing that your boyfriend cheated on you with your bestfriend probably was a devastating realization for courtney (also even if duncan and gwen had a good dynamic i still think trent and gwen had more chemistry)

Season 3, Episode 13 is where everything truly goes downhill.
Duncan and Courtney were only good in Season 1. By Season 2, they completely ruined Courtney’s character, making her unbearably controlling with her endless “rules” for their relationship. She even got mad at Duncan for not knowing she was thinking of the color *burnt sienna* during the TDA finals??? Meanwhile, Duncan’s behavior in Season 3 was outright terrible (and honestly, I don’t think I even need to explain why).
Such wasted potential 😢☹️.

I genuinely loved Courtney in action before the episode where she made the 32 page essay, if they wouldn't make her make the essay I would've liked her more, she'd be a better villain in action if she never made the essay
@@Limenade8 Same I loved her sicne she had more time and was like an icon without the 32 page for Duncan to change for the better
Exactly! They took the spark out of Courtney that Duncan put into her in s1. They absolutely ruined her.
@@harryssparefacemask13 exactly 😭😭
Yes Courtney was a controlling person and I get that Duncan was sick of it, but that still doesn’t make it right by being unfaithful.
I agree
I mean yeah, it’s still wrong should he have actually cheated, but I very much understand where he’s coming from. I don’t care what you say, if you’re a toxic and controlling bitch who wants everything to go your way then I’m cheating on yo ass as soon as I find the right person
Hey, I don't blame Duncan at all for wanting to escape from a toxic relationship. Courtney's trust issues, overcompetitive behavior, and overbearing nature drove Duncan away. If I were writing this show, I would have made Duncan dump Courtney before kissing Gwen to make them the far more sympathetic ones in the whole love triangle argument. But still, it's Courtney's fault for pushing away her own boyfriend and trying to control him, so I side with Duncan and Gwen on this one. I don't fully justify Duncan for kissing Gwen, but I mostly do. But that's my opinion.
@@matthewescudero4287 as bad as cheating is I think what Duncan did was more than justified at that point
@@magicalhikari5859 Thank you fir agreeing with me. Courtney was the worst partner to Duncan and I honestly think he needed to get away from her. Duncan and Gwen had so much potential before they were ruined in that piece of crap of a season, All-Stars.

ive been in depression for over 5 months i dont think this is normal
Personally, I hate duncan and Gwen together
ME TOO OMG
SAME
Me 3 🤑🤑
SAME
I agree.
Gwuncan was all deception and infidelity.
Based on the evidence, Duncan did indeed cheat. However, it isn’t exactly an open and shut case. While there is no doubt both Duncan and Gwen were wrong to kiss while Duncan was still technically dating Courtney, I always felt he did it due to the pressure his relationship with Courtney was giving him at the time. Their relationship was becoming extremely toxic, and the stress from this caused Duncan’s judgement to probably be clouded and go to Gwen in order to escape it. Before anyone asks, no, I don’t believe Courtney or Gwen are outright villains in this situation either. Gwen did made a terrible choice that ended a potentially strong friendship she could have had with Courtney. Courtney became vengeful when she learned the truth to the point of wanting to harm both Gwen and Duncan. Both were in the wrong completely, but were letting their emotions lead them to make these terrible choices in a love triangle that was becoming more and more of a stressful issue by the day. In conclusion, yes, all three characters wrongly handled the situation, but I feel everything happened because none of the three teens could grapple with their emotions about the love triangle and thus made extremely impulsive decisions.
Yeah, if Duncney were ‘in love’ it was one-sided at best at that point. Duncan didn’t want to continue dating Courtney but only said yes just because of the way Courtney was. She’s a toxic crybaby who doesn’t deserve to be dating Duncan. Again, whilst ‘cheating’ (if it would even be cheating at that point) is morally questionable at best, I feel like Duncan was kind of in the right to do so here. Yk the phrase ‘sometimes you gotta break a couple eggs’? That’s pretty much it. Duncan clearly deserved better, and someone who wouldn’t treat him as some kind of play-toy, and thus opted for Gwen, someone who actually appreciates him as a person. Things would have gone smoothly if Courtney didn’t go full-Yandere and thus became a worse simp than Sierra at that point in time
I feel like it's important to remember that all this drama is happening with teenagers who just became famous and this is probably all of their first relationships
@@koraeaton6467 I 100% agree! I could see a similar situation happening in real life to a bunch of teenagers who just got famous. Due to the stress, their decision making would probably be impaired.
I loved Duncney in Season 1. I didn't like how Courtney became Dolores Umbridge and Sakura Haruno combined in season 2. I get why she blew up and sued the show because Harold got her kicked off last season. I'd do the same if i were in her position. She literally treated Duncan the way Sakura hits Naruto. But that does not change the fact Duncan cheated. I get why he did so but theres a better way to go about it. If I were him, I'd be honest and lay down the law about Courtney's behavior, and/or dump her for Gwen rather than cheat. And maybe then they'd get back together in All-Stars. That is if it were up to me.
@@magicalhikari5859 bro tf is up with you
They ruined Courtney in S2 and Duncan and basically Duncney in general.
Gwen and Duncan were better off as friends. People not because they kinda have the same aesthetic that doesn’t mean they should be together. Uhm no-
The fact Gwen was like “Omg I can’t believe I kissed Courtney’s boyfriend” then in all star she was like “ They weren’t dating! You can’t steal a boy when he’s free” the switch up-
Gurly he didn’t even want you cause after world tour he when back to obsessing over Courtney. She should have just stayed with Trent🤦🏾♀️
Courtney was toxic for a while, but she loved Duncan, and then he cheated on her. He could have just broke up with her instead of cheating.
Duncan also took advantage of Gwen to make Courtney jealous. He took advantage of Gwen's feelings too.
He was actually scared to ik that's not a reason to not cheat but Courtney was toxic so really isn't good enough for both of them..
Gwen at least felt bad for what happened, which is something Heather isn’t capable of. She was also going to tell Courtney the truth of what happened. People calling her a second heather is really unfair.
Duncan felt bad too. Bro was literally gonna apologise before she- yknow… kicked him in the nuts 😅
PREACH!
She really wasn't going to tell Courtney the truth
she still cheated
Imagine finding out your boyfriend was "Cheating" on you with a girl you hate on a reality show just to find out she planned it all and then you get back with him but he's crazy and loves thr number 9, You break up with him again and then next season you befriend a girl, Her boyfriend leaves the game and then come backs and hugs the girl while looking at you saying he always missed you but in a way it felt like he was telling the girl, Then you kiss him, And now calls you the 2 version of the girl who made your boyfriend and you break up for fake cheating
You know that it’s such a bad sign where the most beloved characters became more hated because of the poorly written sequels!
PSD: Courtney is far from being a victim since she felt NO remorse for what she did and behave after TDA even if she got some comeuppance. Stop romanticizing abusers, they’re not better people than liars, cheaters and even murderers!
Yeah I’m not victimising Courtney, she was super toxic in the relationship too!
I agree. At least Gwen isn’t toxic and is willing to own up to what happened. Did she make a mistake? Yes. did she feel bad and want to fix things? Yes. All while Courtney didn’t want to admit that she’s wrong and is willing to use people for some sick revenge plot or to win a contest. In my honest opinion, Courtney acted more like Heather than Gwen ever could.
@@justempty7036 I never said that I prefer murderers over abusers. Quit putting words in my mouth and stop pretending that Courtney did nothing wrong! Of course they’re are people arguably worse than Courtney but that doesn’t mean that she deserves to get a free pass, what I mean is that she is just equally as awful as many other scoundrels anyone can think of. That’s why I said she is not better person than those and she can’t be the best person any fan can ever preach.
@@hanzfantasma8172 You must be delusional if you think ı'm defending her. This is a show where creators wants people to laugh at getting hurt. And every character has a Sterotype written for them. Courtney is a typical type a personality.When its competition this kinda people would do anything to win. Control and manipule others to their own advantage. And you know what Duncan actually enjoys how he cant control a type a physcopath like Courtney. Everytime Courtney does something violent (verbally or Physcially) Duncan likes it even more ( this is pretty clear in season 2,1).İ would say Duncan is violent but Courtney is way more violent then him which is something Duncan likes.
This whole cheating thing... Many people has theories why it happened but personally it was just cn thinking they had to do something to add more drama to the show.Duncan was always interested in gwen. But not romantically. Until season 3.Even in the Aftermath show He doesn't takes his eyes off courtney and hardly looks to Gwen. While Gwen has romantic feelings for him. Like gwen Trent breakup world Tour is a disasterpiece for me.
I’d argue Courtney was actually the culprit here, more so than Gwen and Duncan combined. She’s a toxic and controlling crybaby who just wants what she wants all to herself. The way she was treating Duncan was well out of order and whilst cheating is of course morally questionable at best, I feel like we’re giving Duncan more shit than he deserves as far as the problem goes. He clearly deserved much better than Courtney, and Gwen is literally that

At the end of the day both ships are toxic
Courtney was abusive to duncan

LIKE GIRL YOU KNOW THAT THEY WERE TOGETHER SO ADMIT IT AND STOP BEING A PICK ME. Plus she’s a homewrecker.
Team duncney all the way
Gwen is indeed a boyfriend kisser
Well, they were in a toxic relationship anyway so yea- They weren’t together basically.
Duncney in season 1 was great in the episodes they had building up to their relationship as well as when they do get together; But after that it got toxic. Gwen and Duncan DO NOT WORK as a couple OR belong with each other AT ALL and I'd much rather see Gwen with Trent
Duncney, it was good all of season 1 and the only reason it became toxic was because of cartoon Network asking the writers to make Gwuncan a thing..trough out Gwuncan you can obviously tell Duncan wanted Courtney back
TEAM DUNCNEY AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY MIND
I loved Duncan and Courtney being together and it was kinda shocking and heartbreaking that one of my favorite ships were getting destroyed.
Despite Courtney being a total drama girl. they were an awesome ship 💖 I wish that Gwen stayed with Trent because they were also an amazing ship in season 1.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE DUNCNEY 😭💔❤
me too
I think it all stemmed from the writers absolutely destroying Trent in s2, if it wasn’t for him being so clingy, gwen would still be with Trent therefore I doubt Duncan and gwen would’ve kissed since there would be no feelings for each other and duncney would still be together. I feel as though they also destroyed gwen because she gives such feminist energy and she would never let a man come in the way of her friendship. Literally all of the currently flawed characters started their downfall in s2 when they could’ve had so much potential. Long story short, Trent was the root of the breakup when he literally did nothing
All three of them need to be alone for now. They don't have the discipline for a relationship. Courtney is controlling, Duncan still obviously likes Courtney while dating Gwen, and Gwen doesn't know a red flag when she sees it. Like how many times does Duncan have to say "Has Courtney said anything about me?" for you to realize "Maybe he still likes Courtney" 😂
LITERALLY 💀💀
Courtney is the most toxic person istg im glad duncan cheated to get back at her, she deserves it, Duncan is my favourite character of all time, she dont get to play the victim card after abusing him and controlling him so bad
It’s kinda Duncan’s fault tbh, Gwen felt so sorry she was hitting her self in the face, crying and even went on whole other season just to try make things better with Courtney. Duncan barely apologised and even before the whole Gwuncan thing, Duncney was kinda toxic especially at the end of tda.
Honestly Duncan and Courtney seem really toxic. But Duncan and Gwen really had potential, but the writers sort of ruined them.
You've got it completely backwards kid
Plus do you know how toxic Courtney and Scotts relationship is Courtney is using Scott to win
It was CN idea for Duncan and Gwen
They we're ruined because the studio wanted to make Duncan and gwen a thing . and oh boy gwencan was toxic too because that dude literally flirted with gwen when Courtney wasn't in ( season 2 action)
@@alien-eater nah, OP has it right. Courtney is one of the most toxic characters in Total Drama history, but nobody recognises such because of how popular Courtney is as a character. Whilst such toxicity doesn’t justify Duncan allegedly cheating (although reminder, it isn’t illegal, just morally questionable at best) you do have to factor in the shit Courtney was putting him through in that relationship, at least where Action is concerned
I loved her is season 1 but the writers changed her in season 2 I love Courtney and Duncan so much tho but I wish she stayed the same as like season 1
I like Duncney in season 1 only. Otherwise, I don’t ship Duncan with anyone else. Courtney- I ship her with Scott too. Gwen- I ship her with Geoff, Trent, AND Courtney😭😂

It’s funny how a lot of people draw the line at Duncan cheating on Courtney but don’t draw the line at Courtney physically abusing him. At that point, who cares if he cheats?
Imagine if Duncan was doing all of that to Courtney and she cheated on him with someone else. I could see that being more excused since the double standard of abuse is drastic 😬.
@@suspiciousstar7547 fr. I wish Courtney went bald instead of heather lol

come on, cheating is worse than having a bad temper, Duncan was really horrible
The thing is that Duncan says "thats why i LIKE You" to Gwen, but to Courtney he said "thats why i LOVE that woman"

#JusticeForTrent
Trent's a sweetheart and one of my top ten characters.
Honestly don’t like either one of these ships, one’s toxic and overrated, the other just made the situation MUCH WORSE.
Both are pretty toxic. One is just much much worse
Courtney and Duncan were cute in season 1 but in season 2 their relationship went down hill because Courtney got controlling but people don't understand she got controlling because she was worried that Duncan would cheat on her with Gwen and when that happened she went crazy what Duncan did was messed up first of all cheating is messed up but cheating on your girlfriend with your girlfriends best friend is messed up. Also I wanted to add Duncan ruined Courtney and I have proof Courtney in season 1 before she started dating Duncan was great and then they started dating and she got rude also when Duncan wasn't there for half of season three she was amazing and nice but when Duncan is there she is rude and controlling
Duncan tricked Gwen into falling for him, but Fresh TV’s social media said that Duncan did NOT truly love Gwen.
Both Gwen and Courtney deserve better than that dishonest jerk Duncan.
I still think Gwen should get back with Trent after she learned how Duncan had been deceiving her the entire time while cheating on Courtney.
Gwen should strike it single. Trent probably is still a little nuts
@@Meela9088 Duncan lied to Gwen about Trent going crazy.

Where did you find these?😊
Courtney was extremely toxic after season one she even made Duncan sign a contract or something to change his flaws
I like Duncney more but here is why I think Gwuncan is toxic. In all stars, Duncan still liked Courtney while dating Gwen. Also, Duncan and Gwen’s relationship mainly revolved around Courtney. meaning that Duncan still worried about Courtney while dating Gwen and he would non stop talking about it. Also, during the Duncney relationship in season 3, Courtney claimed that Duncan was still her bf so this is all very confusing.
YES OMG I HAVE THOUGHT THIS FOR YEARS!!!!
Honestly Gwen used to be my favorite character and Courtney was my 2nd favorite and I loved how Dunkin and Courtney were dating but soon that took a quick turn when I found out that Gwen kissed Dunkin it broke my heart into pieces when they started to date I felt bad for Courtney so much and that’s how Gwen became my first favorite character to me least favorite character
I prefer Duncney but it was toxic and Courtney did treat him like trash and for gwuncan I see they wouldve been a good couple if the writers wrote it right the same thing with Duncney
I feel like Duncan made Cortney behave like that yk in season one there was an episode where Cortney did some bad things and got worse and worse. Season two their relationship got toxic in a way a when Duncan kissed Gwen and Courtney found out she was like mad a Gwen the most till Gwen got mad a Duncan(she should’ve stayed with Trent idk what happened) but Gwen and Courtney becoming friends was the best but I wish Duncey was still there :C
I am and always will be team duncney it was so sad to see gwen and duncan kiss 😢
He did cheat and I’m upset that Gwen didn’t tell her she would’ve been less angry and Duncan admitted he was still dating her and Gwen said “ I KISSED COURTNEYS BOYFRIEND “
Duncan and Gwens relationship revolved around Courtney.
Duncney had so much potential! Sadly, the writers wanted more drama and they made that love triangle that ended up ruinning most of the iconic characters from S1. We also know from S5 that Duncan actually never stopped loving Courtney, but he wanted that she could pay attention to him again. He cheated with Gwen just to make Courtney jealous, and used Gwen to reach his goal, which was totally wrong for him to do. Once Courtney found out, he realized that he messed up, he actually began developing some feelings for Gwen, but at the end Duncan's love for Courtney was stronger. Yes, we got the drama, but was it really worth it? No. I also hate how the writers made Courtney be so inmature, and I hate that Duncney got ruined because it was a really good ship. I think if the writers decided to focus more on the healthy relashionships rather than the break ups our iconic characters would still be loved. Truth is Gwen should have stayed with Trent. (They turned Trent into a maniac but still. S1 ships will always be better than anything.)
I hate how lots of these comments say that they want Gwen dead or never on the show.
I really enjoyed seeing Gwen and Duncan together as the characters tended to be compatible but their writing was a total disaster, even for Courtney who served as "sacrifice" for it and then simply Duncan who was "sacrificed" to fix this mistake...
The things how I see it
Courtney and Duncan liked each other during first season, bc Courtney like Duncan for being a challenging person and fascenated by that inesplorated territory, she want to conquer it and change it to the better, while Duncan like Courtney bc she knows where she want to go, determinated with a good leadership (also supportive leader) but that can show a sweet and fragile part of them.
Courtney personality is about being a leader, and want to have controlls of things around her.
When she got eliminated in 1 season, is bc of Harold that take hand in the votes to kick her out, and she was unfairly out of the game, and in season 2 she was not at the start, so things that she can controll her and unfair tbh
After that, the scandal about Gwen and Duncan during start of season 2 and the Trent break up (that being Jeff fault for exagerating things and cruel, even thi footage are sus?) she has got another unfair thing
That is when her toxics trait about lawyer for taking controll started. She return to the game, and after second season, she relying on lawyers for taking controll for what she is afraid losing, lime the game or her boyfriend.
The problem with this behavior of toxic controll and manipulation is that she want to controll to much Duncan's life in every way, and this is bad and Duncan is feeling bad staying with her and her toxics trait
Then in season 3 stuff happen, and Gwen and Courtney become best friend, but they found Duncan. With that, Duncan dont want to stay with Courtney, bc he cant stand with her toxic trait and her in general.
Duncan is a person that is a good guy that when in a good situation and controll of it, he acts for the benefict of the other bc he is good in those calm situation, but when thing goes angaist him, he doesnt face problem, rather try to avoid finding alternative solution
That being said, with Gwen got a friendship during the series, and one of Gwen trait favorite of Duncan is the fragile part, but also a kinda distant one, and he love that trait. So, it would be normal that he feel now in love with a different person, bc he dont feel love with Courtney.
So the normal solution would be to break up by saying he doesnt love Courtney? No
Duncan and Courtney live in a toxic relationship and have both toxics traits (more on Courtney)
Courtney would not accept the break up and would do everything do deny or not leavinf Duncan from her grasp
Duncan on the other hand, he is evasive and he dont face problem.
Seeing Gwen like a possibily of going out of the his toxic relationship and finding good feeling again for himself and someone else
Then drama happens, Gwen felt guilty about her action as a friend, so she was insicure, she question if what she did was wrong, not for love, but as a friend
Sadly Duncan take advantage of the situation and Gwen introvert personality and lowselfesteem, make her take him the lead.
They have cheated, Duncan cheated on Courtney while he was in a relationship with her without talking about it, Gwen betrayl the trust of her friendship with Courtney.
With that, Courtney now has lost unfair the game before, the boyfriend again, and lastly a person who she could trust with.
That falling of her trust she has turn what she is, a person that now has a trauma about losing things she loves or strive for, in an unfair way and behing her back, to be now desperate of controll and not trusting more anyone.
So, in a technical way Courtney was in the right about what happen to her (and causing trauma) but morally speaking she put her in a worse position than Duncan and Gwen bc her action was worse than what she get.
She think is in the right for thr unfairness she get from other people from the back, but that block her judgement on herself and her action and she ended up being a person that is "permited" to do everything, even bad thing, bc she got bad things by others
At the end, we can say, everyone is in the wrong
Courtney became toxic, event tho she has the potential to return on herself for her positive trait of judgement before her downspiral
Duncan wanted to go out of a situation with his way, making two friend end terribly just for his need and not making everyone on good term
Gwen is more the victim, she is insicure and didnt really what to do, and she isnt a direct person, she is an introvert, and for her fear, she left the event go by itself
What I can say, it would help therapy for all three, they can be better for sure.
And Trent kinda let Gwen take her own paths in making decisions in a way and he cares about Gwen alot he was so worried (in season two )that Gwen was distancing her self way and that they were competing against each other (and tbh he was kinda jealous that Duncan and Gwen were getting close)
BUT TELL ME HOW GOES GWUNCAN ENTER THE PICTURE 😭
Thank you for your well thought out comment, I understand where you’re coming from!
@@JENNIFER_705 Trent is a good guy, but during the 1 season he forget Gwen under the sand, and he was tricked by Heater. One ismt his fault, but he make a mistake and try to remedy about that i. the finale, but Gwen with time even tho he likes chill dudes and more on the controll side
Trent tho didnt have the lesd role always, in some situation ask confirm in general to Gwen, and she isnt a person that like to take decision and such (that is why she ended up making bad decision, bc she doenst stod up for herself and let the event playing by themself instead of controlling it)
its possible that Gwen liked Trent but by time passed, she felt that he isnt the one, but couldnt face it to him, and season 2 happen.
Trent as obsession disorder (not confirmed tho) for staying in controll of situation, so he got his side of insecurity where he has to know to feel safe, and season 2 make him unstable for lack of a stable situation and stuff happen
Gwendun is not a bad one, but I can see there are better optionfor Gwen, like people with the personality of Geoff: carismatic, outstanding, cheerful and reassuring
Duncan need a person like Courtney, but less controlling, more a teasing person with a side of soft and weak side
@@TotalMansion sorry, but what do mean with coming from?
Duncan x Courtney and Gwen x Trent FOREVER
Fav part “Tyler”
*Duncan and Courtney stare at each other*
*starts making out*
ME: NO-
3:19 Deserved
I feel like it wasn’t Duncan tried to end their relationship but she said know she was so controlling, that’s a reason why I hate her, but I think personally that Gwen and Duncan were good and besides Courtney knew it wouldn’t last forever she even said that in all stars
He didn’t deserve to not be able to have any kids 😭😭
@@barluepanye3850 When did he try to end the relationship???? He just kissed Gwen behind her back and wasn’t planning on telling her anything about it. He’s only sorry because he got caught.
@@princorporated-1999 in celebrity manhunt they were arguing a lot, and Duncan said multiple times he wanted to break up, and in the episode he dropped out he was annoying because Courtney kept being annoying
Why do I wretch everytime Duncan and Gwen kiss 😭
And also, at the end Duncan said “that there is why I like you” to Gwen, not love, like. In s1 when Courtney was running to get the money she said “No one is going to steak the money that I stole!” And he said “I love that woman”. So you know
the writers totally ruined the whole thing between courtney and duncan and just for the sake of DRAMA gwen and courtney were also on good terms too. yeah courtney was a bit mean to duncan but it isnt an excuse for duncan to hook up with another girl😢
Tylers face in the Duncan amd gwen kiss is what im thinking it was also funny his face was priceless 😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
Ok, Duncan and Gwen were wrong, but that doesn't erase the fact that duncney has become a toxic couple over the seasons after season 1 finale
TDWT:Tyler exploits up Gwen
TDR2:Zee exploits up Caleb
I'm all for Team Gwuncan and not really a fan of Duncney even when I was watching the show on television. Sure I don't approve of Gwen kissing Courtney's man Duncan when they were together and her soon enough finding out later after her and Gwen were starting to get along but at the same time it should be a lesson to never cheat with your best friend's lover period because there will be a lot of drama and violence that's not even necessary
I’m not sure Gwencan is good either, their entire relationship relied on Courtney 😬.
@@KEYYYYYY.agreed but their ship would’ve been better if it was written bettet
To be honest, I've never liked Action. I always just skip it whenever I rewatch the show. For me, it's just Island and World Tour.
Gwen X Trent
Courtney X Duncan
Cody X Sierra
People who agree
👇
the fact they were teasing gwen x duncan in action…
I don’t ship Gwen and Duncan but after season one Courtney and Duncan weren’t the greatest ship because in season one it was enemy’s to lover and then it was just quite toxic and I’ll admit it as a Duncan and Courtney shipper but Gwen and Duncan weren’t a good ship in my opinion and if Duncan wasn’t going to have Courtney as his love interest it’s better to not have one at all also I do really really think Gwen should have kept Trent they were better
What makes me upset about Duncney is that they ruined their relationship over matching aesthetics with Gwen, when Gwen and Duncan were better as friends, then lovers.
All Stars ruined it further by destroying Duncan’s character. In All Stars, you can even tell he had feelings for her still and he was actually jealous of Scott. But you can tell he liked her yelling and her bossiness, they liked qualities about each other that others would find toxic and it honestly just nice to see them be together throughout Season 1 alongside both of them helping each other grow as people
duncney idc if it’s toxic i love them
i love gwuncan and duncney (only in s1), but tbh i would’ve preferred if gwen and trent stayed together, and courtney and duncan broke up for good. or at least stayed healthy. but with courtney’s personality, that’s most likely not possible.
Duncan became horrible in season 3, betrayer omg
@pancakes9502 it's a fact tho
I like the more similarity type of couple Gwuncan but writer's could've have just write it differently and All Stars just made it all confusing
what abt trent and gwen😭
IKR FINALLY SOMEONE WHO BRINGS THEM UP
In duncan's defense, his relationship with Courtney was toxic and abusive it was going to end for good anyhow
I love Duncney more they have always been my favorite couple I was so mad when it wasn't lasted longer
reason: in season 2 when courtney came back duncan was shocked as you might expect they would act normal but no they were actually mean to eachother but courtney was meaner she gave duncan a 4000 pag essay and kice him in the worst part and she used justin to make duncan jealous which justin got eliminated in courtney couldive been a nicer person if duncan didint change her attitude but on the other hand in season 1 duncan was kind of beeing friendly with gwen but in season 2 they became best friens and its the same season where gwen dumped trent before courtney came back courtney saw footage of duncan and gwen beeing very close friends and that made courtney think that duncan was cheating with gwen and drama hapens in the aftershow meanwhile in season 3 before gwuncan was a thing Courtney was flirting with alejandro and expected duncan to think nothing of it and then the drama happens
Uh, technically no they didn’t get back together… Just Because They Kissed Didnt Confirm They We’re Back Together It Was More Of A Spur Of The Moment Thing! Though If Courtney Thought They We’re Together Again Duncan Should’ve Told Her Otherwise!
Uh, technically yes they were back together. Courtney was referring to Duncan as her boyfriend and Duncan made no effort to deny it. And he went behind Courtney’s back to kiss Gwen. If he wasn’t dating Courtney then why was he keeping his interest in Gwen a secret?
@@TotalMansion That’s Why Everyone Was At Fault In This Situation! Duncan Should’ve Said Something About It Instead Of Leading Her On To Still Think They Were Together. Also He Probably Kept It Q Secret Cause He Knew She Would Flip Out About It!
@heatherheatheroglu4431 1. Have you seen how Courtney acted when they WERE TOGETHER! She would definitely act like that especially if Duncan goes and date her what was going to be her friend(speaking of which)
2. I wouldn’t wanna be friends with someone who dates my ex(well depends on the situation) besides they were just getting along they weren’t friend friends yet.
@heatherheatheroglu4431 I did they were bonding over a subject which *LEADS* to a friendship and then it’s broken ONE episode later.
(Also in the celebrity manhunt special it said they broke up so I don’t know what you mean is “wrong” And Courtney kicking him in the nuts is just very extra and unnecessary she already gave him a black eye and pour a bowl on his head)
@heatherheatheroglu4431 You’re Right…They we’re friends for an episode and a half before they reveal it rendering all that bonding totally pointless. Also It NEVER said that Duncan and Courtney Were back together NOT ONCE! So how about YOU go watch it again because clearly you haven’t seen it in a while 😒
Team Gwuncan.
They actually worked out HEALTHILY! Unlike the fact that Courtney completely ruined Duncan’s mental health.
In my personal opinion, Duncan just was sick of Courtney and was stressed up, plus he wanted "Revenge" on Courtney for all what she did to him in Action. Duncan kissed Gwen on purpose, but Duncan didn't really liked Gwen, he just wanted Courtney to regret what all she did to him before, and became she Jealous... But then the things screwed up because GWEN kissed him and didn't regreted it, NEVER. Duncan at least tried to keep a sorry to Courtney, but it didn't helped, so he was with Gwen there...
Then, Gwen liked doing it and said "I became friends with Courtney and I kissed her BOYFRIEND, I'm a horrible person!" (Which is right.)
Then in All-Stars Gwen was inconsistent as HELL. Because she said that Duncan and Courtney weren't together when the kiss happened?? *MAKE UP YOUR MIND.*
But well, the people hate Duncan for being the "Cheater" but TO ME all he wanted is Jealousy of Courtney and revenge on her, but he messed up... (Obviously, he didn't had to cheat on her, he could just have finished it...)
But anyways! Gwen sucks, Duncan was over-hated and Courtney was the *Victim* here! 😊
i think... YO THEY WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER IN S1 WHY DID THEY CHANFE THEM. also, courtney changed bc gwen and duncan had some moments in s1-s2 so i think courtney is kinda right
I will say the toxicity between Courtney and Duncan was harsh especially how controlling Courtney gets, but with Gwen and Duncan slipping moves with each other behind Courtney’s back was also bad.
Honestly even though this might make it worse or not, the 3 don’t seem like a bad trio. Polyamorous is still existence for the ones who are also Lgtbq+ and this is a non-canon thought anyway. In also hopes that both girls be satisfied with the man or not..💀
FOR ONES LIKE ME WHO CAN’T DECIDE WHAT SHIP THEY FEEL IS BEST OR WANT EVEN THOUGH IM MORE ON DUNCNEY-
I like how Gwen ended things with Duncan in all stars
Im just gonna say it total drama couples are so toxic but I LOVED duncney SO much 😭😭😭
I was like “NAHHHHHH” when they said “YOU ARE A MONSTER”!! Then kissed..
i don’t think it was actually gwens fault, bc duncan just kissed her
But Gwen knew that her friend Courtney would be upset about it but she did it anyways
COURTNEY KICKING AROUND IS SO FUNNY HEELPEOAOAJAGA
Courtney Is More Dramatic Than The Show.
I miss when they were in a healthy relationship and I wish that the show focused on showing the couples strengths and weaknesses in their relationship
Never let them know your next move
✨ G W O U R T N E Y ✨
Duncan and Courtney had amazing potential but is was thrown away due to bad writing and wanting the two only goth characters to get together. Duncan and Gwen had a nice FRIENDSHIP dynamic not a romantic one.
Duncney because I like Courtney more than Gwen 😂
