    I don't like him. He cost Duncan to be sent home, and screwed up some other things.

    Owen is freaking funny. He also helped his team win a bunch of times--he and Cody were the best dodgeball players for the Gophers, even when he was tired and messed up, he never stopped trying in the Basic Straining, the deer hunting and so forth. Heck, he took a pummeling by crab-apples in the who do you trust episode, and he's put up with Heather A BUNCH OF TIMES (in the canoe trip, in the three-armed competition, etc.) Yeah, he farts a lot, but that just makes him funny! He also WON THE GAME in the end. so in my book, that makes Owen AWESOME!!!

    He cost his team in the If You Can't Stand the Heat episode, but they went for Beth instead. Owen isn't my favorite, I don't like him all that much since he's just a comic relief guy. He won in the end, true, but he only added strength and comedy. And he never really performed well in certain challenges because of his size, which could have easily led to him getting voted out, which surprised me when they didn't.

    Gwen's bad attitude gets her to the end, but Owen's positivce attitude prevented him from making any enemies and saved him from getting voted off. And truly, though Owen pigged out on the ribs, you could easily blame LaShawna for leaving Owen in charge of them. That's like leaving a thief in charage of a bank vault or an alcoholic in charge of guarding booze. And Beth's taking the cursed tiki is what caused the Gopher's losses leading up to the cooking challenge.

    Owen is a lovable fat idiot, he may not be much of use in challenges, but who cares he is funny!

    It's funny how, in the US commercials, it shows Owen getting kicked by the bucking moose and says that he probably won't win.

    It's also funny how the comic relief character wins. And I don't think he got Duncan voted off. They wouldn't have even found the camp without the map and compass if Owen hadn't smelled the sticky buns.

    Kristy: Owen proved himself useful in several challenges--he was one of the last 3 gophers in Basic Straining, he singlehandedly knocked down 4 players on the Bass one after another in Dodgebrawl, he canoed successfully in the Boney Island Episode and he jumped off the 1000 foot cliff. While he was not useful in a couple of the challenges (the cooking one comes to mind), Owen has pulled his own weight repeatedly over the course of the show, which is why he was never voted off.

    I always thought he got lucky because other characters screwed up worse.

    hey, i was wondering, if Owen ate the sticky buns and got Chef Hatchet mad, why was Duncan voted off?

    He was useful in some challenges, but over all he seemed be holdinto g his team back. Is he a strong character? Yes. Is he one to really care towards doing what is best during a challenge to win and not doing it the fun way? No. That is just my opinion though.

    That's where I disagree. Owen did do his best in every single challenge, even when it was hard for him to do so. Look at Basic Straining, the spin the bottle challenge, the deer hunting challenge (he tried harder than the other gophers, who basically turned on eachother, and got thrown over a cliff in the process), the three armed competition (where the poor guy got chained to HEATHER) and even camp castaways. Owen did care about all the challenges and even when he was having trouble, he didn't stop going, which is more than I can say for Courtney, DJ, Heather, Noah or most of the other campers, with the exception of Duncan and Gwen.

    The only reason why Duncan got voted off after Owen ate the sticky buns is because Heather and Gwen mistakenly thought Owen would be easier to defeat in the next epiosde (spin the bottle). Instead, Owen took on EVER SINGLE DARE that got thrown at him while Heather and Gwen kept on going after eachother.

    Gwen figured out that Owen was going to win that challenge and finally threw her lot in with him, which was a VERY SMART MOVE on her part. I do not think the other campers could have survived all those insane spin the bottle challenges like Owen did. Owen is DA MAN, he deserved to win and he proved himself in my book. Case closed.

    You got me there, I guess he really does try his best in challenges, it just didn't seem like it to me because I never really thought into it that much unlike you who has. Oh well, besides what most of you say, I still love Owen. I really never cared much for the character's actions in challenges, just their over all personality. Owen is a immature goof ball and for that he is awesome in my eyes.

    He sure is awesome! But personally, I think Owen DEFINANTLY needs to win something NOW! I mean, he had to face a BEAR to get his key, and even after going through all that trouble to GET his key, it ended up not opening anything! Personally, I feel that is just cruel! Enough said!
