This article focuses on the interactions between Gwen and Owen.
Overview[]
Gwen and Owen were put on the same team in the first season. Initially, Gwen was constantly annoyed by Owen's odd and frequently disgusting behavior. However, they become closer friends as the season progresses and eventually make it to the final two after teaming up and subsequently getting rid of the biggest threat. Owen is one of the five contestants Gwen viewed as sane, despite his various personality quirks that have annoyed or disturbed other contestants, including herself at certain points. Owen has a tendency to refer to Gwen as a "hottie", which he does with some other girls as well. After Total Drama Island, the two of them remain friends despite being on different teams during both Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour.

Are We There Yeti?[]
On different teams throughout the episode, Gwen with Heather and Owen with Duncan, the two constantly try to halt each other's progress as they travel back to camp. After their encounter with Sasquatchanakwa, the four set up camp intending to continue in the morning. When Owen offers the others a bite of a massive ball made of candy bars, a shivering Gwen declines and asks for his sleeping bag instead. He gives it to her without protest. After Duncan is eliminated, Owen, in the confessional, chuckles mischievously when he realizes he is on the island with "two hot girls."
I Triple Dog Dare You![]
Early in the episode, Gwen mention that she is okay with Owen while using the confession. During the challenge, the two of them team up in order to eliminate Heather. Gwen promised that if she won, she would split her prize money with him, and if Owen won, she would give him a box of doughnuts. Owen agrees and split half of his freebies to her. The two watch as Heather took all the dares while using their freebies to save themselves. After Heather had her hair shaved from Lindsay's dare and was eliminated due to a technicality, Owen and Gwen celebrate her defeat. With Heather gone, Gwen and Owen are the only contestants remaining in the competition and Chris declares them the final two of the season, much to their delight.
The Very Last Episode, Really![]
Before the challenge starts, Gwen gave the cupcake she thought Trent (Heather in reality) gave her to Owen. In the confessional, she said that Owen was one of the five people she considers sane (along with Cody, Bridgette, DJ, and Leshawna). Before the final challenge began, Gwen told Owen that if she had lose to anyone, she was glad it was him. Despite competing against each other, throughout the challenge, the two constantly praise and give encouragement to each other. In Owen's ending, Owen beats Gwen after Izzy manages to attract Owen to the finish line using brownies. Despite her loss, Gwen doesn't seem to be disappointed and was happy for him. When Gwen and Trent got back together, Owen was happy for them.
In Gwen's ending, the outcome is similar to Owen's except that Owen was a few feet away from the finish line after crashing into Izzy, giving Gwen enough time to catch up and win the challenge. At the campfire ceremony, Owen hugs Gwen and is glad she had won fair and square.
