I think that just because Owen is a happy go lucky fatty the TD writers made a brilliant choice to make him and a goth the first winners of Total Drama. People like them are generally an easy target irl shows. Plus, IMO both Gwen and Owen were amazing in TDI, the former for her development and plots and the latter for his ability to steal the scene every episode. Not always a character has necessary to be "deep and developed" to deserve a finale, Owen is the proof and the only one so far who did so that's what makes him an unique winner IMO.
