The brownies simply where a way of motivating Owen. If they had put performance enhancing stuff in the brownie and feed it to him then it would have been cheating. But there are no rules against simply motivating someone with brownies.

That being said, I did feel like Gwen deserved to win the season more cause she just performed better overall. Owen should have been eliminated earlier.
