Chris and Owen

This article is about the alliance between Chris and Owen.

When Courtney started to turn Total Drama Action into her own rules. Chris brought back Owen as a saboteur to ruin Courtney's chances of winning, as well as the other contestants. Another reason that Chris brought Owen back is because no one would suspect him of cheating due to his friendly and kind attitude.

Rock n' Rule
Owen says that Chris brought him back because his family spent fifty thousand dollars that they did not have.

Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen
The alliance has a greater emphasis. Owen begins to sabotage the participants, also at the behest of Chris. Chris sends Owen to sabotage one of two teams, but instead of sabotaging one, he sabotages both of them, making Chris very annoyed Owen took care of LeShawna Jr. for Harold, which was forbidden, because it was not sabotage, but helping. At the next challenge where Duncan and Harold had to climb a cliff and collect a bonsai tree, Owen went along only because Chris wanted him to sabotage either Duncan or Harold and take their chances of winning a reward away. While Owen was climbing the cliff (actually being pulled up by a crane) Chris becomes furious at him for letting Duncan and Harold help each other and for Owen not doing his duty. He pulls Owen up and threatens him that if he doesn't sabotage at least once he won't be getting the fifty thousand dollars and he will be fired. After climbing the cliff, Owen finally does some sabotage work by ruining Duncan and Harold's small friendship by asking Harold how much he misses LeShawna. Duncan then insults her, causing Harold to throw a glass of water over him and punching him in the face. This allowed Harold to win the challenge and caused Duncan to lose.

2008: A Space Owen
After Harold saves the cast on the spaceship, Owen does his sabotage work and breaks the window on the spaceship using Harold's nun-chunks. Owen backs away from the broken window so nobody saw that he broke the window. Near the end of the episode, Harold rats out Owen as the saboteur since he was the only one not accounted for when the window broke. Owen farts his way out of trouble and saves him from been fired. Owen votes for Harold to leave since he knows about his sabotage work. When Harold was taken to the Lame-o-sine by Chef, he tells the others that Owen is the traitor, but they do not listen to him.

Top Dog
At the beginning of the first challenge, Owen sabotages Courtney by dropping blood, from a prick in his finger, into her shark's tank, causing it to go insane. Courtney gets into a fight with it and later on she gets into a fight with a pack of sharks. Courtney did not participate in the second challenge, thanks to Owen sabotage work. In the second challenge. Chris gives Owen a GPS to get him out of the forest first and win himself invincibility. Owen and his bear plan to trap Duncan and Beth so that they could not win. Owen does not sabotage Beth, but causes Duncan to go insane when he falls into a hole. Owen and his bear then get stuck into his own trap by mistake. After a few days, Owen, Duncan and Courtney finally get back to the trailers. Owen's secret is revealed when Courtney gets a message from her lawyers saying that Owen is the saboteur. Beth and Courtney accuse him of been one. Owen says in the confessional that he is glad that his secret had been revealed and that he can go back to been his old self. At the Gilded Chris Ceremony, Courtney is voted but is soon joined by Owen when Chris fires him from his job; he says that there is no point of having a spy that has been spied. This clearly marks that the alliance is over.
