User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-1037137-20140825202210

I'm still amazed that some still call for Owen's return in such a season. Okay, yes he fits All-Star status and yes, he used to be a major face of the show......But the problem is what missing from the series from Owen's absence? He's been slowly reduced to his one gag which is farting (And overeating) and how does that hold up when it's done so repetitively with him? And is he even that compelling anymore as his own character?

If Owen had to come back to be an All-Star, then he should've been one of the first three out, because he has nothing to work with, anymore than Sam did and much less than even Lindsay or Sierra.

But that's my two cents on Owen if he had any direct involvement in this season at all.
