As a high achiever and a perfectionist, Courtney has a polarizing personality. At her core, she thinks of herself as a born leader, which often leads to her not letting others have a chance to take control. As an overachiever, she has a tendency to get upset when things go wrong. She has become notorious among the contestants for constantly reminding them of her counselor-in-training experience, resulting in their constant annoyance. Although she is extremely bossy, competitive, critical, and even manipulative at times, she can be civil and polite to her fellow competitors under the right circumstances (and begins as such in the beginning of the series). Such examples were in Phobia Factor where Courtney scolds her team for mocking Tyler's fear, Basic Straining, where she stands up for Harold against Duncan and Geoff, and in Jamaica Me Sweat, when she is the only one to acknowledge the injured Izzy and Owen.
