So RuPaul blocked her and she hasn't been asked back onto a series of Allstars (despite placing 3rd (and should've been 2nd))
Also there was the general impression that Courtney was too big for her boots on the show because she'd already had a career in Australia before it, and Ru/the producers love to build up a "WE MADE YOU" story for their winners.

Thank you. I am definitely going to give this drag race thing a go when I finish watching Dexter. Sounds..interesting
Might watch Courtneys series first.
