This article focuses on the interactions between Courtney and Harold.
Overview
Throughout Total Drama Island, Courtney would often criticize and scold Harold for his annoying geeky habits, or his apparent uselessness to the team, though she does support him on the the few times he has proven useful. This conflict greatly intensifies for the remainder of the season after Harold unfairly causes Courtney's elimination by tampering with the votes to get back at Duncan for tormenting him throughout the season, due to Courtney being Duncan's love interest at the time. The incident has since only been mentioned once, but the conflict has not subsided with time. Courtney and Harold continue to lock horns, particularly through intense competition such as in Hawaiian Style and Hawaiian Punch.

Dodgebrawl
Courtney yells at Harold, blaming him for Duncan sitting out most of the game due to his loud snoring, to which he snaps back that his snoring is due to the fact that he has a medical condition. Courtney also heavily criticizes Harold's weak dodgeball skills and forces him to sit out of the game. This is because of his performance in the first round where he barely throws the dodgeball, even though he wants to actively participate. When the Bass need to wake Duncan up to win the challenge, Courtney tells Harold to wake him up, because Duncan said he'd kill anybody who woke him up, and Harold is the "only one they could afford to lose", according to her. She also thinks Harold is the worst in dodgeball other than Tyler. However, her views on Harold quickly change when it turns out that Harold has incredible dodging skills. Courtney quickly calls a time out so the team can give Harold some advice while he rest. Once Harold successfully gives the Killer Bass their first victory, Courtney and the others celebrate with him.
