Noah and Owen

This article focuses on the interactions between Noah and Owen.

Overview
The two boys have had a strong friendship throughout the series. It is minor in Total Drama Island, due to Noah's early elimination, but several friendly interactions were seen between the two in every episode prior to his elimination. While their interaction is practically non-existent in Total Drama Action due to Noah not competing, even the one episode where Noah and Owen interact, it is in a joking, friendly manner. Due to both competing on Total Drama World Tour and Noah staying longer in the competition, its significance intensifies and ultimately proves to play an important role throughout the season, even after Noah's elimination. Despite getting crushed by him and being annoyed by his weird habits, Noah never hates him. Owen is also oblivious to most of Noah's sarcasm towards him.

Dodgebrawl
When Chris is telling the contestants what the first rule of dodgeball is, Noah jokingly cuts in, asking if it's, "Do not talk about Dodgeball". At this, Owen snickers.

Once Lindsay leaves, Owen and Noah share disturbed glances in response to Lindsay's mistake.

The Very Last Episode, Really!

When Chris throws the contestants out the plane and they sing Before We Die, Noah and Owen sing the same line in unison.

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." 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.
