Honestly, Neji, you are contradicting yourself. You claim that the job of the hunters is to shoot the deer, which is true. However, you then claim that the deer had no job. The purpose of the hunter is to shoot the deer, which the deer do not want to happen. Thus, the deer's job is to avoid getting shot by the hunter. Heather mentions this with Lindsay and Beth, that they were supposed to protect her.

Thus, Courtney not getting shot is an asset to her team. Owen is a detriment because he did not shoot any deer.

There's absolutely no way Owen did better then Courtney on the challenges. A comparison has been drawn up. For those who claim that Owen did a superior job because he "tried" remember that he failed. Miserably. Twice. It doesn't matter that he came back after being thrown off a cliff, and it doesn't matter that the other Gophers did worse. Both instances may be true, but they do not correlate to Owen doing a better job. Here are the reasons:

1.) The job of a hunter is to shoot the deer to score points. Owen did not do this. The job of the deer is not get shot, Courtney did, in fact, do this.

2.) Owen shooting one deer would have resulted in a tie game, as only one deer (Heather) was shot by the Bass.

3.) It is claimed that Courtney "didn't do anything" to garner her victory. She is not seen, that cannot be proven. Further, it makes no difference how hard she tried. She still did what was required of her.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People who claim that Courtney did the worst (or was even bad) in the challenges look merely at two challenges: The cliff-dive and the phobia challenge, and claim that she is the weakest link. This is false on many accounts. Courtney refusing to jump off the cliff did affect the team negatively, but it did not cost the team the challenge, because jumping off the cliff wasn't the challenge. The challenge was to build a hot tub, and we see every Bass (Courtney included) failing at this. In regards to the phobia challenge, Courtney's participation would not have mattered, as the Bass would have lost regardless if she completed the stunt. I do agree that Owen did a superior job on that challenge, but Courtney did not cost the team in that challenge; everyone who wasn't Duncan, DJ, or Sadie did.

In addition to these glaring oversights, Courtney did superior jobs in many of the challenges, even if she did not win. She placed third for the Bass in the Awake-a-Thon, beating out 3/4 of the campers. She placed third in Basic Straining, beating many strong competitors. She navigated the team through the woods, had a killer act for the talent show (Bridgette dropping a spotlight on her head does not mean Courtney was a hindrance), successfully coerced Duncan into playing dodgeball (game-breaking), and made a decent dessert. Owen's catastrophic failures (eating the ribs, being out first in the Awake-a-Thon, his bad paintballing, sleeping on the sofa-bed) were far more game-breaking then Courtney's.
