Exactly, Harold actually showed some guts and was ready to face the ninjas, but clonked his head and passed out. Courtney was told that she'd get their team triple points, but still, despite her GIANT desire to win, refused to jump. That shows how Harold is willing to play to win for his team while Courtney won't step up when she's needed...

Harold wins, Courtney isn't as good as Harold, I don't even like Harold and I'm telling you how good Harold is. End of discussion.

Back on topic, I still say he needed to be picked on, gave him development and gave Duncan development too.

I don't see how the dodge ball game could be a 'win' for Courtney.

She suggested that Duncan wake up, yes, but she wasn't willing to do it herself. She tried to get Harold to do it, but of course, no one's that stupid. She was only able to wake him up when Harold and some other people were holding the stick. When he wakes up, Duncan immediately goes after Harold (who was closest to him) but Courtney gets between them and convinces Duncan to play.

It was a big point, but it wasn't as if she performed the act without backup or shielding. She came up with the idea and had the nerve to threaten Duncan.

Harold was alone on the Bass side of the court at the end of the final round. He was the only person who could dodge Owen's fastballs, and maybe the only person who could have caught one of them. He had the raw physical skill required to win the game.

But, the important part about this is that BOTH people were required to win the challenge for the Bass. While Harold could dodge and catch, he certainly couldn't throw, and I doubt that he'd be able to catch every single ball if the Gophers attempted to 'Crush the New Guy'. But, at the same time, Duncan's strategy did NOT win that last round. It was far from it, and from what I can tell, the entire system fell apart as soon as the Gophers found a suitable counter-strategy. Only after the pandemonium of round 5 was Harold alone and able to secure victory.

So, if anyone has to say that Courtney 'won' in the dodge ball challenge, they are wrong. The Bass could not have won if Harold hadn't been there. But, likewise, Courtney was required for victory. It's a tie.

This is the situation for almost all of the challenges.

In order to decide who is a 'winner' for each individual round, one must decide which character most directly contributes to the team's effort. And, in deciding this, one must consult their unique set of views and opinions. Like I said before, nothing can be specifically proven when this process takes place.

I refuse to make a table, designating who 'wins' in each individual challenge, because I know it will be severely close to a tie, and it is off-topic. I know my arguments have nothing precisely to do with the topic either, but it is my way of trying to calm this down.

Let's put it this way: both Harold and Courtney helped their teams to the best of their ability. No one could do anything more than that. If you want to start arguing about which characters abilities would help the team more, then you're obviously too obsessed with arguing to see the point of what I'm saying.

But, if this board wanders dangerously off-topic again, I'm not responding to any more posts. You would have proven that this board is beyond all help, and should probably be locked for the direction it's been going in.

Which team got a "on a scale of one to ten, I give it a fifteen"? Was that Bridgette and Geoff?
