Scottney

Scottney is the het shipping between Scott and Courtney from the Total Drama fandom.

Canon
Courtney and Scott first meet when Scott comes to ask for more gruel, and Courtney doesn't mind. Courtney decides that she needs a new ally and thinks that Scott would be an ideal choice. Courtney initially treats him like she does with everyone else, while Scott tries to compliment her and get her to like him. He tries to opt out of an obstacle course because he ate too much gruel earlier, but then immediately follows Courtney's order to complete it.

Courtney can't help but begin to warm to Scott. Eventually she accidentally thinks she finds him cute in a rustic way, despite her intent to only ally with him. She begins to act softer to him. When Courtney hears that Alejandro is convincing everyone to vote for Scott, she gets worried and votes for Alejandro as she is concerned for Scott. Courtney also becomes concerned for Scott when he is knocked out by Fang. She tries to get him to fight back, but to no avail. Courtney is implied to view Scott as a love interest since in a confessional she says she shouldn't have to worry about Gwen stealing him from her.

Later Courtney accidentally falls on Scott, and they end up having their first kiss, beginning their relationship. Scott gives Courtney a makeshift shoelace ring to symbolize it. However, their relationship does not last long. Courtney is kissed by Cameron in order for Mike and Scott to form an alliance, which makes Scott angry. The two get into an argument and break-up after only two hours.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Courtney and Scott's canon relationship. Although it has its shippers and gets some praise, mostly for giving Scott more human traits and adorkable moments which endeared many fans to him after his rather unsympathetic antagonistic role in his first season; it mostly got negative feedback from the fandom.

Its mains flaws are considered to be extremely rushed, mostly due to the thirteen episodes format, with them starting to interact in the fourth one, oficially dating as of the ninth one, and breaking up for good in the eleventh one. As a result, many fans believe that the relationship was forced just to have a canon relationship between a first and second generation contestant. The fact that they kept hooking and breaking up in the span of their last three episodes, and ultimately broke up for good, which for many rendered the whole plot pointless, didn't endear the fans either.

Another common complain is that while Scott was given a good explanation to like Courtney (liking bossy girls, although this doesn't explain why he wasn't attracted to Heather and Jo), the writers forgot to include a reason for Courtney to be attracted to Scott (unless she just likes bad boys), as in the fifth episode she suddenly started caring about him with no explanation, despite disliking him in the previous episode (which was also the first one in which they interacted).

Finally, as a result of combining all of the flaws listed above, the ship in general is considered to be a poor version of Duncney (Courtney and a bad boy) and Aleheather (a romance plot serving as a redemption arc for the antagonists).
