Owen (Total Drama: Island; World Tour-present)

Owen was a camper on Total Drama Island as a member of the Screaming Gophers, and is an official finalist of the first season. He was also a cast member on Total Drama Action, as a member of the Killer Grips. He was then a passenger on Total Drama World Tour, as a member of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. He was seen with the original contestants on a yacht in the first episode of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. He then made another cameo appearance in the last episode of All-Stars. Finally, his latest appearance was in the spin-off, Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, as a member of The Reality TV Pros with Noah. He then made another cameo in one episode of Total DramaRama.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Owen is one of the most greatest characters in the series, as he’s lovable, hilarious, and friendly with a charming personality, always being happy and looking on the bright side in most situations. Whether his team wins or loses he doesn't cast down.
 * 2) Owen has the ability to see the best in everyone he meets, including villainous characters such as Heather and Alejandro (though both did become his enemies at one point).
 * 3) His kindness is so great, he has very few enemies, with only 4, being Alejandro, Courtney, Heather, and Sierra (sometimes), but for understandable reasons. Heck, even Chris, Chef and Blaineley consider him a good friend, that just shows how great his kindness is.
 * 4) He’s a great friend to many of his teammates, especially Noah, in which they became best pals since World Tour, and have shown to work together greatly, especially in the Ridonculous Race.
 * 5) Owen is also a great friend with contestants on opposite teams, like DJ, Tyler, Duncan, Geoff, Emma and Kitty.
 * 6) He had a silly and charming relationship with Izzy, and even after he broke up with her, for understandable reasons, they still remain good friends.
 * 7) While he did manage to be good friends with Chris and Chef, who most, if not all contestants hate, he was willing to give them their comeuppance for forcing them to perform dangerous stunts at the end of Total Drama Island.
 * 8) He has many hilarious moments, like when he was a sleepjumping pretend fish in "The Big Sleep", when he accidentally grabbed a Dingo in "Picnic at Hanging Dork", and when he drove a truck with animals clinging onto it in "Little Bull on the Prairie".
 * 9) He is one of the finalists in the first season, and he is definitely a lovable one for being the sweet and funny guy he is. He also got pretty far in the next 2 seasons and in the Ridonculous Race, which was great.
 * 10) He recovered from his flanderization period in Action when he returned in World Tour, becoming funny and lovable again since then.
 * 11) His performance of "Oh My Izzy" in Jamaica Me Sweat was touching and emotional and showed both his aforementioned pain in wanting to break up with her and how he saw the best in her despite her crazy antics.
 * 12) While Owen does have many gross-out moments, some of which go too far (see BQ), others are arguably well-written. A good example of this is the moment when he farted in Alejandro's face prior to the latter kicking him out of the plane. Alejandro likely deserved this after having tortured Owen throughout the season and being responsible for his elimination.
 * 13) He had a passable cameo in the first episode of Revenge of the Island (he also cameoed last episode of All-Stars but it was not good). Also, he made a funny cameo in the Total DramaRama episode "Mutt Ado About Owen".
 * 14) The Ridonculous Race had him return as great and funnier than ever, keeping his charming and kind personality, and he and Noah got pretty far, and even helped Noah win Emma’s heart.
 * 15) He has a passable character design.
 * 16) Scott McCord did a great job voicing him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He was flanderized, in 2 different cases:
 * 2) * He was badly flanderized in Total Drama Action, becoming more unfunny and obnoxious. Thankfully, he recovered in World Tour.
 * 3) * His Total DramaRama alternate universe child self was badly flanderized into becoming a very unlikable, annoying, spoiled, whiny brat who often likes to torture Chef.
 * 4) Even before and after his flanderization period, he can be not funny sometimes, as he usually does fart jokes and toilet humor sometimes.
 * 5) Speaking of which, some of the gross out humor in Total Drama and The Ridonculous Race is mostly courtesy of him.
 * 6) He can be obnoxious sometimes, such as when his appetite cost his team the challenge in "If You Can't Take The Heat...", how he can be hysterical sometimes, such as freaking out over getting a clown hairdo in "The EX-Files", and how he ate the cheese wheel he and Noah were supposed to ride in the water in "French is an Eiffel Language".
 * 7) While it was nice to have Owen cameo in the All-Stars season finale, they took his gross-out humour way too far by having him fill the eliminated contestants in balloons blown from his farts.
 * 8) In the aforementioned episode, after Wawanakwa sinks at the end, there is also a pointless gag where he enjoys waterskiing on a boat driven by the island's fauna.
