Scottney

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

Canon
After Courtney transfers over to the Villainous Vultures in Total Drama All-Stars, she sets out to make a new ally and settles with Scott after he displays affection towards her. Initially, she shrugs off his constant advances, treating him like everyone else. However, over time, she is unable to deny her own feelings towards him any longer, and the two become closer. She realizes that she cares for him in Moon Madness, when he volunteers to go to Boney Island and she, in turn, grows worried for him.

They finally agree upon a relationship in Zeek And Ye Shall Find, but this is short lived due to Mal's interference causing Scott to lose faith in her. Despite this incident, they manage to make up in the next episode due to Courtney's insistence she wasn't at fault, and Scott finding her bossiness attractive. However, Mal manages to break them apart yet again, after he reveals a chart detailing her plan to bring Scott (being drawn with a rat's tail) to the finale with her, believing he would throw the challenge for her. Finally fed up with her, Scott becomes determined to make sure Courtney doesn't win, either by securing victory for himself or someone else. In the end, Courtney gets eliminated, but Scott begins to show uncertainty over his decision. It is unclear where the two of them currently stand.

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).
