I was quickly browsing on the official Total Drama Wiki, and Cameron and Lightning are not only the first (and “last”) same gender finale, they are both the only finalists (and characters in general) who:

A) Neither one of them are in a current romance with another contestant at the time.

B) Neither have shown any type of actual romantic attraction to another contestant at that point.

C) Neither have a lover waiting for them on the outside world.

Bonus Fact: There both African-Canadians who from what it looks like have single parent households and have never been on the same team.

Courtney and Lindsay, if my calculations are correct both won the previous amount of team & individual challenges after Courtney made her debut:

Episode 14: Lindsay created fire by using rocks and Courtney beat a member of the opposite team (i.e. Duncan) in the pit of tar. (+1 each)

Episode 15: Courtney won the wrestling match against Duncan, Lindsay “technically” won her boxing match against Harold, K.O-ing him. (+1 each)

Episode 16: Lindsay defusing the stink-bomb and Courtney rescuing the team and retrieving the package that was guarded (+1 each of them)

Episode 17: Lindsay won for making the best superhero costume and Courtney won the obstacle course race in general (+1 each of them)

Episode 19: Courtney and Lindsay were both chosen to be the princesses due to their previous wins and triumphs. Courtney won overall (+1 to Courtney)

Episode 20: Lindsay won overall for solving the mystery and getting the reward. (+1 to Lindsay)

Episode 21: Courtney and Lindsay each should have won immunity due to winning the latter two challenges. Lindsay doing the best w/the red carpet and Courtney doing the best trashing the hotel room (+1 each of them)

Overall - Both of them won: 6 challenges each, and that’s not even including there other team challenge wins. But after Lindsay’s elimination Courtney had not won a challenge since then.
