DJ and Owen

This article focuses on the interactions between DJ and Owen.

Overview

DJ helps Owen calm down before boarding the plane in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1.

Owen and DJ are very similar in personality, both being amongst the nicest people on the show. Once they move into the same cabin with the remaining guys, the two get along very well with each other. Eventually, at the persistence of Duncan, the two of them, along with Geoff, join Duncan's Guys' alliance. Although the two of them were never on the same team in the series, they continue to be close during the first three seasons. In Total Drama Action, Owen loves the food DJ cooked so much to the point he tries to persuade him not to leave the show.

Total Drama Island

Paintball Deer Hunter

Owen and DJ don't get off to a good start in Paintball Deer Hunter.

Owen is chosen as one of his team's hunters to hunt down the opposing team's deer, one of which is DJ. At one point, Owen spots DJ and quietly approaches him, but is startled by a snake, which alerts DJ who then runs away. Owen chases him and keeps firing his paintball gun at DJ, but all his shots miss. Eventually, the chase leads to the top of the cliff, where Owen finally corners his prey. However, he runs out of ammunition, giving DJ the advantage. With Owen unable to return fire, DJ approaches him with an angry expression on his face and throws him off the cliff.

Brunch of Disgustingness

After Owen and Trent move into the Killer Bass cabin after Chris changes the teams to Boys vs. Girls, DJ and the remaining male Killer Bass members throw them a party. After Owen finishes the last dish, DJ and the other guys cheer for him and are rewarded with a weekend off on a luxury cruise.

No Pain, No Game

The guys return to camp and continue to remind each other of their time on the cruise, with Owen complimenting DJ's smooth elbows and commenting that they feel like velvet after a spa treatment. Although they assure each other that they are "tighter than family," the guys begin to distance themselves when Chris officially announces that they have reached the merge.

Hide and Be Sneaky

DJ and Owen argue about who is hiding at the top of the cabin.

Owen meets up with DJ, Duncan, and Geoff in a cave and discusses how the girls are currently outnumbered. However, DJ and Owen remember that morning when they both stood outside the communal bathroom and overheard the girls fighting and giggling at each other, so much so that they had to leave the area. Despite this, Duncan is unwilling to let them be dominated and convinces the guys to ally. Once they all agree, Owen kisses Duncan and DJ affectionately on the cheek.

For the challenge, Owen and DJ hide on top of the main lodge, unaware of each other as they are on different sides of the roof. After a while, they notice a bird in the middle and approach it, only to discover each other. As they argue over whose hiding place it is, their combined weight causes the roof to collapse and they fall into the main lodge, where Heather discovers them and informs Chef Hatchet of their presence.

Hook, Line, and Screamer

After watching a horror movie, DJ and Duncan give Owen a thumbs up for having Izzy excitedly jump into his arms. When DJ faces elimination that night, Owen announces a group hug for him, and everyone joins in.

As the contestants begin to divide themselves into groups of their own, Owen and DJ team up with Cody and Tyler to find the million-dollar case together. Their group is the first to find the case, and Tyler manages to climb up the tree to get it down. However, DJ immediately distrusts Owen as he believes that he'll run away with the case to claim the money all for himself. After Cody proposes they tie themselves together, so they all hold the case, Owen has to do his "business" which earns him a scolding from DJ, who asks him why he didn't go to the bathroom before the challenge started.
