Alejandro and Owen

This article focuses on the interactions between Alejandro and Owen.

Overview

Alejandro kicks Owen off the plane in Niagara Brawls.

During Total Drama World Tour, Owen attempts to make friends with Alejandro when they are placed on the same team. Because he's unable to pronounce his name properly, Owen calls Alejandro "Al" for short, leaving a very bad first impression with him. Unbeknownst to anyone at the time, "Al" is a nickname that he despises more than anything, being given to him by his older brother José whom he loathed more than anyone else, but never corrected him in an attempt to keep up the facade that he was a friend. In addition, Alejandro grows to hate him a lot because of his disgusting habits, stupidity, and uselessness. It has gotten to the point that Alejandro takes great pleasure in causing or seeing Owen's pain and humiliation, and uses it as a means of venting his anger at him for his incompetence. In fact, Alejandro eventually doesn't even bother trying to hide his antagonistic side with Owen and has been calling him names, both behind his back and to his face. 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 Alejandro orchestrates his elimination.

Once their team is formed, Alejandro, in the confessional, begins to swear in Spanish for being stuck with a team of incompetent players, including Owen.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2

Owen tries to compliment Alejandro's plan and he is unable to pronounce Alejandro's name, referring to him as "Ale-handout", and "Ale-kazam". After a few unsuccessful attempts, Owen calls him "Al" for short, which Alejandro does not respond well to. In the confessional, Alejandro lies that he was okay with being called "Al", but his shivering gives it away.

Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better

Once their team wins the challenge, Owen calls Alejandro for a high-five, but he simply ignores him and walks off.

Broadway, Baby!

When Owen gets stuck at the fireman pole's entrance and asks Alejandro for help, he happily strikes him with the baby carriage to get him unstuck.

Slap Slap Revolution

When Owen is about to be sucked out of the plane, he asks Alejandro to give him an "Ale-hand-bro", which infuriates Alejandro, thinking it was "perverting" his name. During the sausage making challenge, Alejandro tells Owen to stuff the meat. Alejandro becomes furious when Owen eats their team's sausage, and decides to use him to ride down the mountain, purposefully steering into obstacles so that they hit Owen in the face for calling him Al.

The Am-AH-Zon Race

Owen accidentally punches Alejandro.

When Owen was talking in his sleep, Alejandro got so annoyed, he nudges at him and angrily askes him to pipe down. Owen wakes up from his dream, and accidentally punches Alejandro in the face, resulting in him having to wear an eye patch for the rest of the episode to cover his black eye. When Owen apologizes Alejandro, he "forgives" him and states it wasn't anything "a little ice and revenge wouldn't fix". Owen thinks he heard Alejandro say "revenge", but when asked, he quickly denies it, and asks if he has any serious allergies. During their first night in the Amazon, Alejandro sees Owen being captured by giant caterpillars, but does not save him.

Alejandro is forced to go back and rescue Owen.

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. He finds Owen trapped in a cocoon, where he confronts Alejandro on the fact that he watched him get dragged away. Alejandro lies that it was the others who don't care for him, while he is the only one to care for him as a friend. This is most probably done to hide his antagonistic nature, as well as to gain Owen's trust.

Newf Kids on the Rock

While on their boat, Alejandro warns Owen not to eat the lobster Izzy had just caught, though Owen secretly licks it. Later, Alejandro almost accidentally eat Owen's socks with his fish-and-clam chowder supper that Heather placed in there as payback. Alejandro is greatly repulsed by this and is later seen in the confessional furiously brushing his teeth and swore in Spanish.

Jamaica Me Sweat

Alejandro doesn't seem to be worried about Owen after he and Izzy are crushed by the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. Alejandro also says that his "vacation is officially over" when Owen returns, not pleased that he is back in the competition.

I See London...

While in economy class, Alejandro is disgusted and disturbed by Noah and 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", unaware Alejandro is in the plane and saw through the monitor. This causes Noah's elimination when they get caught. Before Noah jumps, 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 is frightened as well as disgusted when Owen is about to strip. When Alejandro is facing Heather, Owen cheers for him loudly, but appears to be disappointed once he loses. Later, Owen nervously asks Alejandro if they were gonna vote off whoever didn't win a medal, obviously worried Alejandro will vote him off, and Alejandro glares, annoyed.

The EX-Files

Alejandro and Duncan are forced to carry an unconscious Owen.

Earlier in the episode, Alejandro hypnotizes Owen with methods he learned from his uncle to make him stop panicking while on the plane at the snap of his fingers, as well as with an extra spell, both to humiliate him, and to win a bet with Duncan. After Owen is captured, Alejandro shows no concern for him at all, and even tries to get Tyler to stop searching for him. Upon finally finding Owen, aliens clapse onto Alejandro and Tyler's faces. As Duncan was trying to get it off him, Alejandro activates the second hypnotic spell he placed on Owen, making him give himself an atomic 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, along with the alien distracted long enough to be placed in a box. Owen then passed out, much to everyone's frustration as it meant he had to be carried out or they will be penalized, forcing a reluctant Alejandro to help Duncan carry him.

Picnic at Hanging Dork

Alejandro cheers for Owen when they find the correct sheep.

While discussing on how to take down Team Amazon, Owen suggests that Alejandro uses his flirtatious charm on Heather, since it got Bridgette and Leshawna booted out, which makes Alejandro nervous because one of his teammates seemingly know about his evil ways.

Throughout the episode, Alejandro and Duncan laugh 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

Owen yells out their secret to the other team, despite Alejandro's warning.

Duncan and Alejandro fight over Owen's loyalty throughout the episode in order to get rid of the other, though Duncan comes from a more sincere place than Alejandro. While talking with Duncan, Owen offhandedly mentions about how Noah told him about Alejandro's crush on Heather, and how he shouldn't be trusted since he's a "male Heather", confirming Duncan's instinct about him. Throughout the episode, Alejandro tries to be more patient with him, and follows Owen goofing around in order to gain his trust. When Owen is 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 appoints 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 loses patience when Owen tries to get back his hat and disobeys him. In the end, Owen agrees to team up with Duncan in order to eliminate Alejandro when they get the chance.

Niagara Brawls

Owen's dream shows he's aware of Alejandro true nature.

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 continues to burst his remaining balloons, causing Owen to fall and awaken from the dream.

Alejandro grins evilly once he is able to eliminate Owen.

Alejandro targets Owen this episode, seeing him as the biggest threat due to his popularity. It is implied that Alejandro was responsible for Owen's elimination as he looks pleased when the votes are revealed. Before leaving, Owen ends up annoying Alejandro one final time by repeatedly calling him "Al", causing him to twitch in suppressed anger. 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!

Alejandro again mocks Owen after finding nothing but food inside a moai of him.

While trying to search an egg with his color in an Owen statue, Alejandro once again insults Owen's uselessness even after his elimination, as he found nothing but food inside the statue. But he seemed to take it back when he found an egg.

Hawaiian Style

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

Hawaiian Punch

Owen glares angrily at Alejandro after he almost kills Cody in order to win the challenge. While crossing the lava, Alejandro finally reveals why he hates being called "Al", and Cody proceeds to taunt Alejandro with the fact that Owen called him that numerous times throughout the season. Despite his newfound hatred towards Alejandro, he was sincerely touched by his love confession to Heather. In Heather's ending, Owen cheers for Heather after she kicks Alejandro in the groin, defeats him, and wins the season, along with the one million dollars.
