Owen is an inconsistent character. One day he loves Izzy and stands up to Heather to defend her, and the next he throws her in front of a killer. The only thing he's consistently written as is as STUPID, which is the whole reason he's the comic relief character. What the writers and producers don't seem to realize is that comic relief characters stop being likable when you put them out of their roles and give them focus. (Wether Owen was ever funny or not is debatable, but I think we can all agree on his status as the Comic Relief of the series)

And I don't get why people blame Courtney for getting him kicked off, when it was his teammates' fault (since they were given the Idiot Ball that week...).
