Alejandro and Owen

This article focuses on the interactions between Alejandro and Owen.

Overview
During Total Drama World Tour, Owen attempts to make friends with Alejandro when they are placed on the same team. Because he is unable to pronounce his name properly, Owen calls Alejandro "Al," a nickname he despises, as he was called that by his older brother José. Unbeknownst to Owen, Alejandro grows to hate him a lot because of his disgusting habits, stupidity and being useless (despite Owen's previous success as a finalist of the first season). After being advised by Noah and Duncan to not trust him, Owen starts to become aware of Alejandro's true nature and with this influence, the conflict finally becomes mutual.

When Owen is about to be sucked out of the plane, he asks Alejandro to give him an "Ale-hand-bro," which infuriates Alejandro. During the sausage making challenge, Alejandro becomes furious when Owen eats their team's sausage, and decides to use him to ride down the mountain.

The Am-AH-Zon Race
Early in the episode, Owen accidentally punched Alejandro in the eye, resulting in him having to wear an eye patch for the rest of the episode. When Owen apologizes Alejandro feigns forgiveness and states it wasn't anything "a little ice and revenge wouldn't fix." Owen thought he heard Alejandro say "revenge," but when asked he quickly denies it. During their first night in the Amazon, Alejandro saw Owen being captured by giant caterpillars, but does not save him. When Izzy, Noah and Tyler awaken the following day, Alejandro takes them with him, but intentionally tells them not to do a headcount, so that Owen will be left behind. However once they reach Machu Picchu without him, Chris later forces him to go back find Owen. Once he found Owen trapped in a cocoon, Alejandro lied to him that it was the others who don't care for him, while he cares for him as a friend. This is most probably done to hide his antagonistic nature, as well as to gain Owen's trust.

While on their boat, Alejandro warns Owen not to eat the lobster Izzy just caught. Later, Alejandro accidentally eats Owen's socks with his fish-and-clam chowder supper, which disgusts him.

Alejandro doesn't seem to be worried about Owen after he and Izzy were crushed by the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. Alejandro also says "vacation is officially over" when Owen returns, indicating that he was unhappy when Owen returned.

I See London...
While in economy class, Alejandro is disturbed by Owen's childish jokes and walks away. During Alejandro's absence, Noah tries to warn Owen not to trust Alejandro, as he is "like an eel, dipped in grease, swimming in motor oil." After Noah's elimination, he gave Owen one last warning about Alejandro, prompting Owen to think about his supposed friendship with Alejandro.

Greece's Pieces
Owen begins to worry that Alejandro might vote him off with Tyler's help, just like what they did to Noah in the previous episode. In Greece, Alejandro was frightened as well as disgusted when Owen is about to strip. When Alejandro is facing Heather, Owen cheers for him loudly, but was disappointed when he lost. Later, he reminds Alejandro that whoever didn't win a medal will be voted off, indicating that Owen might vote for him. Fearing his safety, Alejandro quickly makes Tyler reveal the secret affair between Owen's friends, Duncan and Gwen, to Courtney as a distraction, hoping his team might win invincibility, but fails.

The EX-Files
Earlier in the episode, Alejandro hypnotized Owen to make him stop panicking while on the plane, as well as with an extra spell. After Owen was captured, Alejandro shows no concern for him at all, and even tries to get Tyler to stop searching for him. Upon finally finding Owen, he collapses onto the ground. Not wanting to have trouble with Chris again for leaving Owen behind, Alejandro (and Duncan) are forced to carry Owen back. Later, Alejandro activates the second hypnotic spell he placed on Owen, making him give himself a wedgie and sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" while dancing "The Running Man," thus humiliating himself and giving Alejandro the satisfaction of revenge.

Picnic at Hanging Dork
Throughout the episode, Alejandro and Duncan laughs at Owen's misfortune. Upon reaching Hanging Rock, Owen once again is the only member of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot who hasn't shown up, much to Alejandro's annoyance. However this time Chris prohibits him from going back to look for Owen, and have to wait for him before beginning the challenge. When Owen finally arrives, he manages to find the sheep with their team's symbol, to which Alejandro cheers for him.

Sweden Sour
Duncan and Alejandro fought over Owen's loyalty throughout the episode in order to get rid of the other. Throughout the episode, Alejandro tries to be more patient with him, and follows Owen goofing around in order to gain his trust. When Owen was able to figure out that they were supposed to build a boat, Alejandro calls Owen "an incredibly stupid genius," something that Duncan tells Owen is an insult. Like Duncan, Alejandro also appointed Owen as team captain, and speaks like a pirate in order to please him. Secretly however, Alejandro gets fed up with Owen, as he is unable to differentiate between pirates and vikings and calls him a "butter donkey." Alejandro finally lost patience when Owen tries to get back his hat and disobeyed him. In the end, Owen agreed to team up with Duncan in order to eliminate Alejandro.

Niagara Brawls
The conflict finally becomes mutual in this episode. As Owen has one of his typical dreams filled with food, Alejandro suddenly appears and throws candy canes at him to pop his balloons. Owen angrily tells him he can't use candy canes for evil, but Alejandro laughs and bursts his remaining balloons, causing Owen to fall and awaken from the dream. Alejandro targets Owen this episode, seeing him as the biggest threat due to his popularity. At the elimination, Alejandro manages to convince Duncan, Heather and Sierra to vote Owen off, and was pleased with his elimination. When Owen is stuck at the door while trying to jump, Alejandro kicks him out of the plane, choking when Owen farts in his face as a result.

Rapa Phooey!
While trying to search an egg with his colour in an Owen statue, Alejandro once again insults Owen's uselessness even after his elimination, as he found nothing but a coconut inside the statue.

Hawaiian Style
Owen finally knows of Alejandro being evil and therefore, he sides with Cody over him or Heather.

Hawaiian Punch
Owen glares at Alejandro after he almost killed Cody in order to win the challenge. While crossing the lava, Alejandro finally reveals why he hates being called "Al," and Cody proceeded to manipulate Alejandro with the fact that Owen called him that numerous times throughout the season.
