User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24466939-20140825204910/@comment-1037137-20140826062816

Because bringing in Brick would mean actually doing something the fandom would've welcomed and something that would've been for the most part, serviceable to the fandom as he is the much more popular choice of the two. I say that because this season seemed to only do the opposite all the way through by the end.

From what I have been told, Scott McCord didn't even want to voice Owen full-time in a whole season or for a large part of it. So I've heard, anyway.
