Noah and Owen

This article is about the major friendship between Owen and Noah throughout Total Drama. It is minor in Total Drama Island, due to Noah's early elimination, but it's significance intensifies during Total Drama World Tour, and proves to play an important role.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
In the group pose, Owen is seen holding Noah under his arm, and Noah is grinning. They are both placed on the Screaming Gophers. When Chef Hatchet is strictly giving the campers their food, Owen whispers to Noah, "Have a cow," to which Noah smiles.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 2
Noah is seen grinning when Owen jumps off the cliff, until he causes a giant wave. When celebrating during their hot tub party, they are seen dancing next to one another.

The Big Sleep
After the twenty-kilometer race, Noah, apparently unconscious, is carried by Owen to a table where he rapidly attempts to revive Noah.

Dodgebrawl
When Chris is telling the contestants what the first rule of dodgeball is, Noah jokingly cuts in asking, "Do not talk about Dodgeball?", in reference to the film, "Fight Club", to this comment, Owen snickers. Noah also tells Owen sarcastically how mentally challenging dodgeball is. However, Noah's lack of participation does end up angering even Owen due to the Gopher's loss, leading to his elimination.

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Noah was one of the ten original campers who chose Owen's side before many more defected from Gwen's side. He was also seen cheering when he announced that he will throw a party on a yacht.

Total Drama Action
Since Noah didn't qualify for Total Drama Action, the two had little interaction. But Noah's only line of the season (before the special) was in a response to Owen's question.

The Aftermath: IV
Noah doesn't believe that Owen is on a diet, saying "Yeah, right" in a playful tone.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1
Noah and Owen team up (along with Izzy) to go under the pyramid during the challenge, and Noah tries to help Owen find Izzy when she gets lost in the pyramid; they think they find her, but they don't realize it is Ezekiel wrapped up in bandages. When Noah realizes that it isn't Izzy, he mistakes Ezekiel for an actual mummy, causing them both to run away in terror. This actually leads them out of the pyramid to cross the finish line. They are both placed on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.

Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan
Noah tries to help Owen get rid of his fear of flying by telling him that it's the fifteenth safest method of transportation, calling him "Lunch Box" while saying this. But as he tries to reassure Owen, the plane breaks and almost forces everyone out of the plane until Owen plugs the hole with his body. When Chris sends the contestants outside the plane and they sing Before We Die, Noah and Owen both sing the same line in unison. Later in the episode when Owen is dressed in a monster suit, Noah tells him not to smash the fake city that he and Tyler are building for their team's commercial. He also calls him "Chubby Buddy."

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
In the lower class section of the plane, Noah is beside Owen, and comments that there better be no 'candy fish tails' where they are going next. Owen looks around at Noah's comment, asking where the fish tails were. Later when Courtney suggests they huddle for warmth, Noah hugs Bridgette for warmth. But after she rejects it, Owen hugs Noah instead, saying "You can cuddle me, buddy!" When the challenge starts, Noah and Owen shoot each other unhappy glances when Tyler exclaims that he's "Kicking it into high gear". Then, after Izzy easily jumps from ice block to ice block, Noah tries to encourage Owen and jumps on an ice block himself, falling flat on his face. A concerned Owen jumps on it as well and, with all his weight opposite Noah's end, sends Noah flying into a snowbank. However, Noah doesn't seem to hold a grudge against him for it. When their team is racing downhill for the finish line, they see that the other two teams are already well ahead and about to cross. At the last second, Noah tells Owen to lean forward so that all of his weight on the front of the sled and will increase its speed. This plan works, as the team immediately accelerates and manages to cross the finish line a split second before Team Victory would have. This teamwork between the two ultimately helped Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot win their first challenge of the season.

Broadway, Baby!
In the beginning of the episode, when Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is in the first class cabin, Owen sleeps on top of Noah all night. He is more upset that his team forgot about him than he is that Owen was sleeping on him. Later in the episode, when the contestants sing What's Not To Love, Owen gives Noah a pretzel, unfortunately this only irritates Noah further as the pretzel was still hot when he caught it.

Slap Slap Revolution
In the beginning of Eine Kleine, Noah clamps Owen's mouth shut, whispering to him to stay quiet to prevent an avalanche. Noah, along with the rest of the team, rides Owen down the snowy hill and they finish in first place. In the dining area of the plane, Noah notices that Owen is eating a fried sausage and says, "Urgh, tell me those aren't the same sausages you threw up," to which Owen looks awkward and doesn't respond, implying that they are the same sausages.



The Am-AH-Zon Race
When Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot set up camp, Owen expresses his desire for nachos. Noah sarcastically agrees and begins listing all the other food items that they needed. At night, Owen hears growling noises and worriedly asks Noah if the sound came from the fire. In response, Noah sarcastically informs him that, "fires rarely growl". Later, when Tyler realizes that Owen is missing, Noah looks concerned for his friend's safety. Towards the end of the episode, Alejandro tells Owen that he is the only real friend that he has. This may lead to problems with his friendship with Noah.

Can't Help Falling in Louvre
When the episode begins, Noah and Owen are seen sitting in economy class, discussing Izzy, with Noah describing her as a nut-job of Brazil-nut proportions. When Owen wonders where she is, Alejandro tells them she's in the cockpit with Chef. They both gasp in horror, along with Heather and Cody, moments before the plane starts flying around wildly due to Izzy taking control of the plane. When Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is being chased by Sasquatchanakwa, Owen begins wailing about not wanting to be eaten, Noah reassures him that he's got his back, and turns around and pretends to throw an imaginary ball to distract Sasquatchanakwa, saying that it was a trick that worked on his dog back home. This saves the team from harm. Later on, when Noah is selected to pass through the lasers and retrieve the last piece of the sculpture during the song Paris, Owen is seen encouraging Noah as he tries to return to the team.

Newf Kids on the Rock
During the beginning of the episode, Noah gives advice on how Owen should talk DJ into working with Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot. He told Owen that it's just like asking out a girl--only DJ's a guy. In response to this, Owen asks DJ if he wants to get a hot dog with his buddy Noah. Later in the episode, Noah uses the confessional and says that he isn't surprised that his little cousins aren't allowed to watch Total Drama. Owen also says in the confessional that he doesn't blame Noah's auntie for not letting them watch it, indicating that Owen and Noah had a previous discussion on the matter.

Jamaica Me Sweat


Early in the episode, Owen and Noah are sitting next to each other in the first class cabin. Owen tells Noah that he thinks that he's going to break up with Izzy. Noah tells him that it's about time and talks once again about how crazy Izzy is. Later in the episode, after Owen recovers from an injury, Noah smiles when he sees that he's back. The two talk about how Izzy was taken away by the military. They participate in the second challenge together. They ride down the track and finish with a decent time, despite Owen getting stuck twice. Owen falls on Noah after they finish but he gives a thumbs up to indicate that he's alright. After Tyler and Alejandro finish and win the challenge for Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot, Noah and Owen are seen in the plane doing a fist bump as celebration for their win.

I See London...
Early in the episode, after Noah makes fun of Sierra, Owen laughs, accidentally squirting "nose milkshake" on Noah. Owen once again laughs when Noah continues to imitate her, saying that she needs to "learn how to make nose shakes like Owen," as it will impress Cody. While laughing, Owen's Jamaican pepper shoots out his nose and hits Tyler in the face, which makes Noah laugh. In the lavatory confessional, Owen says that Noah is the funniest guy he knows, so making him laugh was like getting an "A+ in Hilarity." Once Chris tells the contestants to parachute off the plane, there is only one parachute left, which Owen and Noah share, much to Noah's dismay. Owen accidentally lands on Noah, however, crushing him atop the double-decker bus. They are seen sitting together in the bus.

During the challenge, Owen tries to make Noah laugh by imitating the Queen of England and trying to make a fart joke, but Noah only sighs at his immaturity. Noah and Owen stay together throughout the challenge, even right up to the climatic scene in the double-decker bus. Owen and Noah are the last two members of their team still standing, and attempt to capture "Jack the Ripper" inside a spooky, empty double-decker bus so that they can win the challenge. The Ripper drops down from the ceiling behind Owen, grabs Noah, and jumps back up before Owen realizes that Noah is gone. He then looks forward again and sees the Ripper locking Noah in the glass-enclosed driver's area. Noah yells in terror and the Ripper advances toward Owen. Owen is frightened at first, but then goes on the offensive, angrily declaring, "Nobody locks my little buddy in the corner!" He then eventually manages to sick a pack of dogs on the Ripper, distracting him enough so that Owen can capture him in a burlap sack, then heads over to free Noah. But just as he is about to do so, Noah quickly tells him to not open the door until the air clears out. At the elimination ceremony, Chris announces that Noah has been eliminated. As he leaves, a deeply saddened Owen tells him that he'll win the game for him, and in response, Noah tells him to "watch out for "eels," referring to Alejandro.



Greece's Pieces
At the beginning of the episode, Owen is seen talking in his sleep in the economy section, apparently having a nightmare as he desperately tells an imaginary Noah not to eat some poisoned food. After he wakes up, Owen mentions in his confessional that Tyler and Alejandro both became close while on the plane in London, and did in fact vote to eliminate Noah. Owen then sighs, saying that he, "misses the pitter-patter of Noah's tiny feet," and sighs again sadly.

Sweden Sour
At the beginning of the episode, Owen is seen talking to Duncan about Noah in first class, recalling his warning about Alejandro and that Noah had known Alejandro liked Heather, Owen then sadly mentions that he still misses Noah. When Duncan tells Owen that they should respect Noah's, "dying words", Owen immediately freaks out, spitting out the cookie he was eating and then lifting Duncan up by his collar and screaming, "When did he DIE!?" in horror, once Duncan explains that it was just a figure of speech and that he had simply meant Noah's final words to Owen, Owen calms down, smiling and laughing brokenly in relief. Later Duncan tells Owen that Noah was right about Alejandro. When Owen says that he promised not to vote out Alejandro, Duncan asks him "What would Noah do?" This strikes a nerve with Owen and he realizes that he should vote out Alejandro next.

Hawaiian Style
Noah and Owen don't interact in the episode, as Noah does not speak. However, they both support Cody and Owen smiles at Noah while they sit together in the peanut gallery.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, Noah was the first Screaming Gopher eliminated, while Owen was the winner of Total Drama Island.

 * Both are said to not be athletic as shown that Owen tires out easily in physical challenges, and Noah claims that sports are not his strong point, although this may only be to avoid being in challenges.
