@ArtDraw12, I know, I've seen that photo. It also mentions quite a few plots that never made it into the final product. Yeah, apparently that along with why Cody was replaced was confirmed by Julie.

That's why I said "Allegedly", It's something that I've heard pop up in a few places but as far as I know has never been truly confirmed. I first heard about it back when the finale for the season aired. And while I also heard about the "Sam replaced Owen" thing back then as well, it was because they couldn't get Scott back not because they knew he was disliked. And how Sam eliminates himself in Food Fright makes it feel like they just inserted Sam in Owen's place for all of his scenes that season since I would more believe Owen doing that then Sam.

Also, they began working on All-Stars & Pahkitew Island long before they came up with the idea for the spinoff. I'm not really sure if they're aware of how disliked he is (or at least CN isn't since they asked for his cameo in the finale of All-Stars).
