Izzy and Owen

The Izzy-Owen Relationship is the romantic relationship between Izzy and Owen. This relationship is one of the most erratic and unpredictable relationships on the show, however it seems to keep the love going between these two. However, as of Jamaica Me Sweat, the relationship has ended, though by the time of Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon she has returned back into her normal self, meaning that they might get back together.

Overview
Being the sort of misfit campers, Izzy and Owen became friends quickly. They shared similar interests and opinions. Owen is commonly seen picking up and hugging Izzy when he or the Screaming Gophers win a competition. While their romantic relationship is often inconsistent from episode to episode (as well as Izzy's personality in general), several references have been made to their status as a couple (mostly from Owen) well after they broke the platonic barrier in Hook, Line, and Screamer.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
As Izzy recovered from hitting her chin on the dock, she talked rapidly about paper maché, lunch, and if she was at a summer camp. Owen quickly agrees with the lunch question stating that it was a good call. This is their first time interacting on the island and one of the first times the two had interaction with anyone else on the show.

Not Quite Famous
The challenge of the day was a talent contest. As Izzy showed off her talent, "The Dance of the Rattlesnake", which seemingly had hypnotic powers, she focused exclusively on Owen. As she performed this dance, Izzy maintained eye contact with Owen at all times. This seemed to greatly flatter Owen as he remarked on how "she's good" to Trent. This is the first clear sign of an attraction between the two.

The Sucky Outdoors
As they start the challenge, Owen talks to Izzy about how it would be funny if they made bear sounds and a bear showed up, Izzy comments on how it would be funny, and he starts roaring like a bear. Izzy was appreciative of Owen's fishing skills, and was the only camper not appalled by his shark-bite, stating, "That is so awesome!". When she went missing Owen was very worried and started shouting to find her, and he was even entertained by her convincing prank. The two spoke to each-other about their bad sleep in the morning before Heather yelled at them for their actions the previous night: Owen for his exaggerated stories of bear hunting, and Izzy for dressing up as a bear to scare everyone for fun. As the Screaming Gophers enjoy their reward in the hot-tub, Owen asks her for some of her "Chocodiles", and it becomes clear the two have become good friends.

Phobia Factor
Coincidentally, Owen and Izzy's worst fears are one and the same: being in an airplane. Like all of the other campers, they have to face their fears head-on and overcome them to give their team the win. Though they were terrified (and rightfully so, as the airplane they were in was badly damaged to begin with), Owen and Izzy survived the entire plane ride and scored two points for the Screaming Gophers.

Hide and Be Sneaky
The girls found out about the Guys' Alliance. Knowing this male alliance aimed to pick off the girls one by one, they decided to vote as a group. Of the six girls remaining, Gwen, LeShawna, and Bridgette wanted to vote off Duncan while Heather and Lindsay wanted to vote off Owen. Heather attempted to convince Izzy to vote with her and Lindsay, but Izzy clearly hesitated, saying he was the nicest guy she knew on the island (who would even play canasta with her). Heather pressured her to join them, regardless of the fact LeShawna and even Lindsay stated she would just dump Izzy afterwards. This is one of the first direct signs of the two's relationship.

Hook, Line, and Screamer
This is debated to be when the actual relationship started. Izzy happily jumped into Owen's arms when the movie ended when the killer got away. Owen slyly replied to Izzy that he also loved scary movies, making Duncan and DJ give him thumbs up for the comment. After the movie, the campers witness Chris McLean and Chef Hatchet abandoning the island on the boat of losers, having left behind a fake newspaper reporting that a psycho-killer was on the loose. Gwen took charge of the survival mission, but before the group could arrive at the campfire, Izzy dragged Owen off to walk in the woods together (in the dead of night). Despite the spooky atmosphere, Owen and Izzy had a casual conversation in which they referred to themselves (and each other) in the third person. Izzy was notably impressed with Owen's accomplishment of eating 200 hot dogs in an eating contest. Suddenly, while Izzy was piggyback-riding on Owen and drummed on his head, Owen felt that something was wrong. Back at camp, Gwen realizes Owen and Izzy are missing, after she lays out the rules: 1. Never go off alone 2. Never go into the woods, alone 3. If you go into the woods, never make out in the woods, or you will die in the woods. So where are they? Duncan replies slyly, "Breaking rules 1 through 3." Back to Owen and Izzy, Owen then remembers that the elements of the horror movie they just watched (a couple alone in the woods, getting killed by the psycho killer after making out), realizing that he and Izzy are emulating the exact same scenario. Izzy then points out that they are not making out. Owen feels awkward until she asks if Owen would like to make out with her. Throwing caution to the wind, Owen agrees happily, and Izzy pulls Owen behind a bush as they begin to make out. Shortly after, the The Killer finds the couple and the chase is on.

Even after Izzy followed Owen through a series of painful landings off a cliff to rejoin him, Owen thoughtlessly sacrificed Izzy to The Killer while he used the opportunity to run for his life. As a result, Izzy was caught by The Killer, who simply turned out to be Chef in disguise. Owen coincidentally found the hiding base of Chris and Chef after running for a long time, and Izzy was taken to the same place where they are the first people to learn about the challenge of surviving a "real-life scary movie", which they both failed. On the positive side, they had the privilege of watching the other campers succeed or fail surviving the same scenario. However, Izzy remained bitter about the fact that Owen selfishly left her for dead before realizing the situation was a hoax. This was something Izzy would not easily forget, she even punched him for attempting to flirt with her instead of apologizing.

Wawanakwa Gone Wild!
The opening scene is Owen trying to appeal to Izzy by giving her a bouquet of wildflowers. Izzy, however, was not so easily swayed as she reminded him exactly of what he did to her in the previous episode, to which Owen assured her he would never do again, though Izzy seemed to remain unconvinced. They did not have any more time to resolve their problem in this episode, as the rest of it was dedicated to each camper trapping their assigned animal and bringing it to a cage (unharmed). Izzy and Heather were the only ones who failed to capture their animal, and because Izzy accidentally shot Heather with a tranquilizer gun (because Heather was disguised as a deer; the animal Izzy was assigned to capture), she ended up being the one eliminated in this episode. Owen offers Izzy a make-out session to cushion the blow before she disappears in a poof of smoke, disregarding the offer. The status of their relationship is unknown until the series finale, where they are reunited.

Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
Before the season finale, Owen still shows affection for Izzy. In a challenge where he is handcuffed to Heather, they were to make a totem pole of carved wooden heads of all past losers to the present. When Heather happens upon a wooden head of Izzy, she begins to ruthlessly insult her right in front of Owen, not caring how he felt for her. She ignored Owen after he repeatedly tried to get her to stop her anti-Izzy tangent and focus on the challenge, and eventually Owen snapped, demanding the Wimp Key that would un-cuff the two (but automatically make them lose the challenge). Later, in the Confessional stall, Owen called Heather the biggest, nastiest, cold-hearted meanie in all of Kalamazoo (in another version of the episode he swore about Heather but that was beeped out) to her face for all of the horrible things she said about Izzy - it was a memorable breaking point for Owen, as he was always known as the happy-go-lucky camper who never had a bad thing to say about anybody until this episode. The blow-up even impressed Heather, but she warned him never to do it again. After this, there was another Confessional stall segment that showed Owen making out with one of the carved wooden heads of Izzy, proving that he still had feelings for her and regretted what he had done to her in the past.

I Triple Dog Dare You!
Owen was excited to get a dare from Izzy, and told her to bring it. The dare was giving a sleeping bear a purple-nurple. Owen performed the dare himself (and got attacked by the bear).

The Very Last Episode, Really!
In the season finale, it seemed that Izzy had forgiven Owen seeing as she was a huge part in why Owen ultimately won Total Drama Island. She was on Owen's side from the very beginning never needing to be bribed by Owen's promise to throw everyone a party with his money and was one of the few people to help him during the challenge, and she helped him a lot... A little too much. When Owen was running she started cheering for him, good right? Then she suddenly yelled for him to run! Later in the confessional Owen said she was a great cheerleader but, Izzy scared him a little. With the help of a large electric fan and a batch of fresh brownies, the scent gave Owen the strength to plow through Gwen and reach the finish line. With this, Izzy helped Owen win his hard-earned $100,000. Owen hugged and kissed Izzy repeatedly during the celebration, which is indicative that Izzy had forgiven Owen after all and gave him another chance at having a relationship.

Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island
Izzy and Owen were seen dancing and eating together in the after-show celebration at Playa Des Losers. After eating ninety-seven marshmallows and letting out a monstrous belch (one loud enough to even intimidate Eva), Owen, star-struck, fell to his knees and took Izzy's hand, proclaiming his love for her. Izzy at first seemed shocked and quickly ran off to throw up, only to just as quickly recover and return to Owen with some hot dogs. Izzy's reaction is vague at best; it is not certain whether or not she was put off and/or grossed out by Owen's proclamation of love or if she was merely suffering from indigestion (which would not be out of the question, considering how much she had eaten). In the Confessional stall, Owen reaffirms his love for Izzy, rhetorically asking how could one not love a woman who "can barf like a guy and come back for more". However, that is the extent of their interaction throughout the hour-long special, as Owen and Izzy were on different teams searching for the case containing one million dollars. After a series of chaotic events, both Owen and Izzy tied with twelve other campers in the search for the case, meaning the two of them were eligible to move on to Total Drama Action and compete for the million dollars again in season two.

Monster Cash
Izzy refuses to ride with the other castmates until they referred to her by her new "name", Kaleidoscope (or E-Scope). Owen yells for Izzy to hurry up and join the others, but then remembers Izzy's unofficial name change and manages to get her to join the group when he calls her Kaleidoscope. They sit next to each other as Chris explains the new aspects of the competition. When they are being chased by the gigantic animatronic monster (controlled by Chef), Owen screams for Izzy to duck, only for her to misunderstand the warning and thinking of it as a Duck, Duck, Goose game. This causes her to be the first person captured by the monster. Later on, it is revealed that she went on a romantic date with the monster, which leads to Owen venting his frustration and jealousy in the new Confessional make-up room. He says he still finds Izzy amazing and loves her, but is unsure to what extent he loves her. Owen feels threatened by the "competition" since the monster is taller than him, but after crushing the girls' trailer, Izzy claims that she is "over" the monster.

Alien Resurr-eggtion
During their alien mission, the group of Izzy, Owen, Harold, and Heather are ambushed by Chef in an alien costume. Owen swears to Izzy that he will protect her, while putting his hand on her shoulder. Izzy puts her hand on his and smiles, and then flips him over on his back because he did not refer to her as E-Scope, and then demands that he calls her as such. His bowels suddenly demand his immediate attention (this is a bad reaction to the massive amounts of foamcore, sawdust, and wax that Owen ate in the previous episode). Desperate to reach a bathroom immediately, he begs for Chef to eliminate him from the challenge to he can go to the bathroom. Chef grants him that wish, which leads to Izzy fending for herself (though she did not seem to mind).

Riot On Set
Owen and Izzy are both recruited into Trent's team: the Killer Grips. Izzy is shown cheering for Owen while riding the trailer as Owen hauls it up the steep prop mountain. However, due to Izzy failing to out-do her opponent Duncan in the final acting challenge, Izzy is the one voted off in this episode. Strangely, there is no displayed response from Owen at all in this scene.



The Chefshank Redemption
As Izzy returns, Owen seems happy to have her on his team. In the cafeteria, they flirt with each other, with Owen comparing Izzy to chocolate-covered chocolate. Due to the slight flirting at the end of the episode, it looks like Owen and Izzy's relationship has got back to normal for the first time since the beginning of Hook, Line, and Screamer.

One Flu Over the Cuckoos
Izzy and Owen's flirting continues with Izzy calling Owen the sweetest thing ever and comparing him with a caramel-covered marshmallow. While being overly-excited during the challenge, Izzy bites Owen's arm and Owen seems to take it as a romantic gesture, looking to Izzy suggestively. Owen called Izzy magnificent as she ate the pizza without using her hands, but panicked when he noticed she was eating all of his pizza. Nonetheless, in the confessionals, he described Izzy's return as a combination of pizza and Christmas, or "Pizz-Mas", as he called it. After Izzy noticed Owen had a sore on his arm, she found out he had a fever and was burning up, 'just like her passionate soul'. Izzy seemed to be the most worried out of everyone when Owen was afflicted with a "life-threatening" disease. When Owen was in the quarantine bubble to prevent him from infecting other castmates, Izzy popped the bubble and ignored the warnings of everyone else of the repercussions of such an action (namely the fact that Owen had gassed up the bubble quite a bit with his own flatulence and thus made the entire room stink when Izzy popped the bubble).

The Sand Witch Project
Izzy glared at Owen a number of times due to his gushing over her cuteness, probably because she feels she was not being taken seriously as a competitor. Owen and Izzy read the script and find that they have to make out, and both enthusiastically do so. Beth, the killer, comes up behind them, and "threatens" them with a knife. Owen and Izzy don't even acknowledge her presence until she clears her throat with annoyance. They both remember why they are making out, feign screams, and go back to making out. Later on, when their teams are moved to the dining hall, Owen remarks that it isn't so bad considering all the memories he has of the food. Izzy finds leftover cheesecake under the table, and Owen says he thinks he loves her. Unlike the special, Izzy does not have a bad reaction at Owen saying he loved her, and actually smiles about it.

Masters of Disasters
When doing the first challenge of the episode they compliment each other on how they did in the beginning of the challenge and courteously insist that the other should climb over first before climbing over the wooden wall. Owen climbs over the wall and is hit square in the jaw with Chef's unpublished manifesto, breaking it thoroughly. Izzy is devastated, rushing to him immediately. In the confessional, Izzy reveals that Owen is her buddy, and the only person that truly understands her. She says that without Owen, she has to go back to her imaginary friends, whom she thinks she should have ditched years ago. She is the first person to question how Owen is doing in the hospital. She is the one least amused when Chris tries to joke about his condition.

Full Metal Drama
Owen's jaw is still wired shut, but he can still talk to the others, including Izzy. After the failed attempt to get the chest and a conversation with Justin about his fading powers he once had in his good looks, Owen asks Izzy if she thinks he is cute. She says she does, but her new alter ego "Explosivo" only cares about bombs. When Izzy is eliminated, Owen says he will miss her and before they are able to kiss, she is dragged to the Lame-o-sine. Owen looks disappointed at this turn of events. Throughout the episode, Izzy refers to Owen as "Big O". Owen referred to Izzy as "Iz" when she was eliminated the second time.

The Aftermath: III
Izzy was shown with a big smile on her face when Geoff and Bridgette introduced Owen. She jumped out of her seat and onto his back. She remains there for a short period of time, stealing a drumstick from his tray of food and saying it was "sweet of him to plan something so special." She then leaps back to her seat, where she is silent for the rest of the episode.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
When the cast were successfully stopping the Total Drama Dirtbags bus, Owen and Izzy hugged each other. As the bus was falling down a cliff, they talked to each other while floating in mid-air. Both of them qualified to compete in the third season of Total Drama.

Theme Song
Izzy sits on Owen's shoulders when the contestants form a kick line, and the two smile at each other.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1
During the "Pyramid Over Under" challenge, Izzy asks Owen and Noah to dress her up like a mummy. Noah and Owen later end up losing Izzy, and coming across Ezekiel as a mummy. Thinking the mummy is Izzy, Owen comments how she looks really cute as a mummy and attempts to kiss her, only for Noah to scream it's not Izzy (Since he thought it was a real mummy).

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
Sierra tells Izzy she and Owen could be the "power couple" of the season now that Duncan has left. Izzy replies that Owen is "magic" and when he breathes, it's to the tune of the Canadian National Anthem through his nose. Izzy also compliments Sierra's team because they have Owen on it, calling her "lucky". Izzy swaps teams with Sierra so Sierra could be with Cody, and Izzy with Owen.

Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan
When Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is picking a costume for the second challenge, Izzy wants Owen to be the adorable monster. Then she hugs him and Owen seems happy about it. While they are filming the challenge, Izzy refers to Owen in a monster suit as, "So hot".

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
Before the first challenge begins, Izzy, along with Lindsay and LeShawna, hug Alejandro for warmth, while Owen hugs Noah after he was declined by Bridgette. Oddly, when they begin the first challenge of jumping across the ice, Owen does not seem upset at Noah calling Izzy "Nutsie." After they pick Owen up, he and Izzy talk about the world's biggest cake being built in Russia, something both are interested in.

Broadway, Baby!
While relaxing in first class, Izzy watches Owen sleep and comments on Owen's fear of flying by calling it so "adorable". Also, Owen is later shown to be impressed by Izzy's moves, when she goes to get their team the baby carriage.

Can't Help Falling in Louvre
Owen tries to cheer up Tyler about missing Lindsay by trying to explain that he, too, has problems when Izzy is gone for too long, though he speaks like he is unsure. Noah interrupts Owen by talking about how nutty Izzy is. Noah also calls Izzy Owen's girlfriend and Owen shows concern when he does realize Izzy isn't with them, and greater concern when he finds out she is in the cockpit with Chef. During the scavenger hunt, Owen chuckles when he sees Izzy messing around with the American Gothic painting.

Newf Kids on the Rock
Although their relationship is not directly addressed, Alejandro asks Izzy to retrieve Owen in the net, and she calls him Big O again as she does so and gets him into the boat. She also hands Owen the lobster she catches, although Alejandro insists he doesn't eat it. During the third challenge, they're both picked to drink the vinegar for the first part of the relay - Owen actually enjoys it, although Izzy is visibly disgusted.

Jamaica Me Sweat
Early in the episode, after Izzy kicks Owen in the groin, he tells Noah that he's considering breaking up with her, but also that he still likes her. He then sees her hanging on the oxygen mask and is glad that she's happy. Soon after, the plane starts to crash and he tries to tell her, but she jumps out and the force pulls Owen out after her. Owen lands on the beach quickly, while Izzy lands safely after him because she was wearing a parachute, but unfortunately, kicks Owen's groin again in her landing. They are fine at first, until the plane lands on them and they are sent to medical care. Once he awakes, Owen blames himself for Izzy getting hurt and says that he should never have considered breaking up with her. After he says this, Izzy wakes up and has seemingly become a genius after the impact fixed a blockage in her brain, by testimony of the doctor. She claims to have figured out a formula for time travel, before the military comes to take her "home". Owen then told Izzy he was thinking about breaking-up with her before she leaves, and that he regretted it. Izzy, with her new-found intelligence, then tells him they're not compatible and leaves; as Gwen mentions later, Izzy broke up with him. Owen then sings Oh Izzy Mix, because of how much he already misses her, with Gwen trying to support him. As of Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon, though, Izzy is now back to her normal self, meaning that the relationship could be saved.
