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 the same team in 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.

After Total Drama, the two of them continue to participate in a number of reality shows, though according to Noah, they lost in all of them. Eventually, Noah and Owen team up for The Ridonculous Race and are labeled as The Reality TV Pros. The two are shown to still be close friends, though time seems to have desensitized Noah of Owen's antics as he is noticeably more strict on Owen and more focused on the game. When Noah falls in love with Emma, Owen initially believes that Noah is sick, though is quickly corrected by Emma's sister, Kitty. Owen enthusiastically supports his friend to win the heart of his crush, and the two form an alliance with the Sisters in order to let the relationship flourish. Despite their status as professionals, the duo face many difficulties throughout the race before finally being eliminated in Got Venom. Nevertheless, Noah and Owen leave the Race with their heads held high and plan on competing in another season of a reality show, though it is not revealed what it is.

When Chef Hatchet begins to scream at Harold for complaining about the food, Owen whispers to Noah, "Have a cow," making Noah smile.

He then places him on a table where he attempts to revive Noah via chest-pumping. Shortly after this, when the Gophers realize that all of their members finished the race first, and they think they've won the challenge, Noah suddenly wakes up and starts cheering, as does Owen.

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. Noah also tells Owen sarcastically how mentally challenging dodgeball is, to which Owen smiles in amusement, however Lindsay (not realizing the sarcasm) agrees with him, to which Owen and Noah awkwardly glance at each other. However, even Owen glared at Noah due to his inaction and pessimistic sarcasm during the dodgeball game after the team loss to the Killer Bass, which ultimately lead to his elimination that night, and likely took part in pelting him with marshmallows.

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, a section of the wall breaks open, forming a massive gaping hole, and almost sucks everyone out of the plane until Owen unintentionally plugs the hole with his body. 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, calling him "Chubby Buddy" in the process.

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. Owen appears nervous about Noah's response to this, quickly leaving the area, 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 Amazon 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. In the first part of the challenge, Noah joins the rest of the team in pulling Owen up the Statue of Liberty. In the second part of the challenge as the contestants sing What's Not To Love, Owen gives Noah a fresh pretzel from a pretzel stand, but this only irritates Noah further as the pretzel was still hot when he caught it. Later on, the team discover a baby in the carrier instead of Noah. Izzy mistakes it for Noah regressing in age, and Owen adds that baby Noah ate all his pretzels.

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, intending to cause 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.

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 tells 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 and compliments on his legs, only for Noah to sarcastically respond to Owen. 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

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, but this time, after he laughs, Owen's Jamaican pepper shoots out his nose and hits Tyler in the face, which makes Noah laugh. In the 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 out of 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. During the challenge, Owen constantly tries to make Noah laugh again, but all of his efforts are futile.

After Tyler is captured, Owen and Noah are the only two left on their team for the challenge. After Owen figures out that the "Jack the Ripper" is on the double-decker bus from the clue, a feat which Noah seems impressed by, they go back so 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. Owen is frightened at first by the Ripper, but then goes on the offensive in an attempt to defend Noah by using the guard dogs from earlier in the challenge. After successfully capturing the ripper, he heads over to free Noah, but just as he is about to do so, Noah tells him to not open the door until the air clears out. When Noah gets eliminated that night, 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, who he had informed Owen of earlier in the challenge that he did not trust.

Greece's Pieces
At the beginning of the episode, Owen is seen talking in his sleep in the economy class section. He is having a nightmare involving Noah 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 panics, spitting out the cookie he was eating and then lifting Duncan up by his collar and screaming, "When did he DIE!?" 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, since that's what Noah would do.

Later, after the race begins, Owen farts after they get into the elevator. However, while the other contestants gag at the stench, Noah simply gives an annoyed expression, implying that he has gotten used to Owen's habits by now. The two walk around the skywalk of the CN tower, and Noah's light weight figure causes him to blow towards the entrance.
