I have to say, I don't hate Courtney, and I don't think she's that bad. Here is my evidence:
At the end of the last episode, when all the women were toasting to Puerto Rico!, and she boasted that she had already been there, and that she could hold her glass the highest-- that wasn't mean, that was just ridiculous and silly and sad and child-like. That just doesn't seem that evil to me.
Her comment about Blakely being a stripper-- well that was just funny, and true, as well the Jersey Shore-Elyse comment. Those were funny little digs, and kind of clever. I would say those things, and I am a very nice person.
Furthermore, sweet little Emily is the one going to Ben, repeatedly, and telling him how awful Courtney is. I haven't heard Courtney say one disparaging remark about the other women to Ben, with the intent of casting them in a negative light in his eyes. When she confronted Emily, she looked like the monster because Emily blathered and cried and denied things- but she was the bad guy there. I hate when people do dirty things and then pretend to be innocent, dumb little girls so that everyone blames the big mean monster just for standing up for herself. I think Emily is a #####, for insulting Courtney to the object of their affections.
Lastly, at least she isn't a dithery fragile crybaby like the other women. I liked Emily, until she started sobbing. I liked Casey B., until she cried and cried because of something having to do with Ben. These women can be reduced to mushy balls of mucus and smeared make up because of one word from this unattractive, boring man, who was the reject of last season of a bachelorette who herself was a reject of the season before, and on and on and on. They're all such victims. Yeah, maybe Courtney would cry on the Limo of Tears on her way out, but it would probably mostly be acting. I think a good majority of these women are crying real, pathetic tears. Let's buck up here, ladies, and have some self-respect (as much as is possible, which is limited already if you're going to go on this show in the first place)
