How do you live when Vladimir Putin wants you dead?

That’s the dilemma facing Christo Grozev, a man often described as a “rock star investigative journalist.” The story of how he became persona non grata — песона нон грата, if you prefer – with the Kremlin is told in the documentary Antidote, directed by James Jones, which just made its world premiere at Cph:Dox in Copenhagen.

“Someone asked me the other day, how many people are on Putin’s kill list? And I was like, ‘I have no idea,’” Jones says as he and Grozev join Deadline at a café at the Cph:dox hub. “But it is interesting that if you end up on their criminal wanted list… that’s a pretty good sign you’ve crossed some kind of line.”

For the first time in its history, the entire cast of Netflix's beloved reality series Love on the Spectrum, which highlights dating and romance on the autism spectrum, gathered at the Tudum Theater in Hollywood on Wednesday. The event brought together both familiar and new faces from cities across the U.S. to celebrate the launch of the third season and honor the show's significant impact on raising autism awareness.

“We're here now on a global platform on Netflix telling incredible stories of this diverse range of people showing audiences globally that you can't make assumptions about someone based on their label,”marveled series co-creator, executive producer and director Cian O’Clery during a panel discussion moderated by Variety's Clayton Davis. “That's the most important thing, really, about the series for us: it's just looking how different and how interesting and how wonderful all these people are.”

“In this season in particular,...

Investigative journalist Christo Grozev, a key contributor to Oscar-winning documentary “Navalny” and central protagonist of “Antidote,” is one of Vladimir Putin’s most wanted men for having exposed his assassination operations against opponents such as the late Alexei Navalny. At Copenhagen’s Cph:dox documentary festival on Tuesday, he spoke about the dangers he is facing.

Grozev was part of a panel at the festival that looked at the guts and sacrifice that have to be made to expose truth through filmmaking and news reporting. He was joined on stage by the director of “Antidote,” Emmy-winning British filmmaker James Jones (“Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes”).

With “Antidote,” which won best editing at the last Tribeca Film Festival and screens at Cph:dox in an updated version, Jones told the audience that his initial idea was to investigate Putin’s poison program with the open source investigation platform Bellingcat with which Grozev was collaborating.

Toronto-based Hot Docs has announced its 2025 line-up of 113 films from 47 countries and will open on April 24 with the world premiere of Parade: Queer Acts Of Love & Resistance.

Canadian filmmaker Noam Gonick directed and Justine Pimlott produced for the National Film Board of Canada and the film explores the pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2Slgbtq+ movement.

A roster of 35 world, 14 international, and 26 North American premieres includes Special Presentations selection The Nest, which gets its first public outing and centres on a personal reflection of memory, identity, and intergenerational storytelling by co-directors Chase Joynt and Julietta Singh.

Christo Grozev, forced to flee Austria for his journalistic investigation of secret Russian operations, is the central focus of a dynamic and powerful story

Finally getting a release after the verdict in the Bulgarian spy-ring trial, James Jones’s gripping documentary takes open-source journalism website Bellingcat’s former lead investigator Christo Grozev as its main focus. But Grozev is just one of the many in Putin’s crosshairs, so the film opens out to cover several whistleblowers, dissidents and activists. Hopping between location-stamped world cities like a Hollywood thriller, the film has a Michael Mann-like dynamism and pathos in detailing the emotional cost of this defiance.

After identifying hitmen and helping a whistleblower from Russia’s chemical weapons programme to flee to Europe, Grozev finds himself on a kill-list. Warned of an imminent threat, he is unable to return home to Vienna; exiled in New York, he impotently frets about his family’s safety.

Hot Docs, North America’s leading documentary festival, has unveiled the first slate of films to screen as part of its Special Presentations program. Subjects include Oscar-winning actor Marlee Matlin, Christo Grozev, an investigative journalist and co-founder of Bellingcat, Israeli comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi, and Silas Malafaia, Brazil’s most prominent televangelist, in the latest film from Petra Costa, Oscar-nominated for “The Edge of Democracy.”

Chase Joynt and Julietta Singh’s “The Nest,” described as a “deeply personal exploration of memory, identity and intergenerational storytelling,” makes its world premiere.

International premieres include “Deaf President Now!,” a chronicle of the landmark student protest that transformed accessibility rights in the U.S.; and “Life After,” in which filmmaker Reid Davenport investigates the troubling implications of assisted suicide laws for disabled people.

Specifically, they'll have a say in these three potentially game-changing topics:

The conference this year is curated by Mandy Chang, former head of BBC Storyville, and global documentaries at Fremantle.

Mara Gourd-Mercado, head of industry and training at Cph:dox, said the conference “creates space to explore how documentary filmmaking shapes the world around us.” She added: “Through hands-on discussions and insights from industry leaders, the conference promises to spark fresh ideas and equip filmmakers with new tools for telling impactful stories.”

Donata von Perfall, managing director of Documentary Campus, added: “The documentary filmmaking community has an immense sense of shared responsibility and values.

Former Sundance Institute CEO Keri Putnam and Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grosev are among the speakers lined up for Cph:Conference, the talks platform of Denmark’s Cph:dox film festival.

The festival, which took place from October 4 through October 14, marked the U.S. premiere of John Crowley’s “We Live in Time,” with screenings of “Nightbitch,” “A Real Pain,” “Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point,” and R.J.

A historian explains how The Thin Red Line accurately portrays the U.S. Army's role during one key World War II battle. Released in 1998, The Thin Red Line is directed by Terrence Malick and based on the 1962 novel of the same name by author James Jones. The World War II film, which stars Sean Penn, Jim Caviezel, Nick Nolte, Adrien Brody, and George Clooney, chronicles the struggles of select soldiers during the bloody Battle of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands and earned a total of seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.

In a recent video for Insider, historian John McManus analyzes select scenes from The Thin Red Line, finding that the film gets a lot right with its depiction of the Battle of Guadalcanal. The historian praises the film for the ways in which it depicts the Army's role in this conflict, which he says is often "overlooked" in favor...

“Silence is not emptiness. It is not the absence of something. It is the presence of the self, and nothing else,” says the riveting titular protagonist in “Viktor.” “In this silence, I find my peace.”

One of the unexpected gems of this year’s fest, “Viktor” is a (Darren Aronofsky-produced) doc from the multi-award-winning director/Dp Olivier Sarbil, a globetrotting conflict photojournalist who’s now chosen to set his latest in Ukraine., a nail-biting investigative look at the former Philippines strongman Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly “war on drugs” through both its mostly addict victims and chillingly remorseless perpetrators.) But what makes the film so extraordinary is that the ongoing invasion is not the focus but merely backdrop for a window into a truly unique Pov on the Russian assault.

For like Sarbil, Viktor is himself a photojourno and cinephile, his taste leaning towards samurai flicks, which he watches on...

Playing as a favorite team in NBA 2K25 may require more nuance than players may have originally planned. The game is missing multiple fan favorites, such as Blake Griffin, John Wall, and Andre Iguodala, among several others. This absence led to backlash and questioning why these players were no longer an option for the game, but the answer is relatively straightforward.

NBA 2Ks removal of specific players is a practical move, not a personal one. These players are missing because the company simply lost the rights to use their likenesses in the game. These absent players have retired from the NBA, and so the rules have changed regarding using their images.

Athletes retiring is standard in the sports world but often not considered in the gaming world. Blake Griffin, for example,...

Fox Sports 1 will shake up its morning schedule following the exit of hot-talk host Skip Bayless, charting a new era in its bid to vie with Disney’s ESPN.

Two new shows, “Breakfast Ball” and “The Facility,” will anchor mornings on the cable network, starting in the fall. They lead into FS1 mainstays “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” and “First Things First” in afternoons. “Speak,” a retooled program, will air afterwards.

Director James Jones brings to light powerful stories of dissent with his compelling new documentary, Antidote. Through his insightful lens, we bear witness to the brave actions of those risking everything to hold Russia’s authoritarian government accountable.

We learn of political leaders murdered through poisoning and journalists threatened with the same sinister fate for their work exposing the Kremlin. Facing such a ruthless machine, speaking the truth is a perilous act of courage.

Jones introduces us to three individuals on the frontlines. There is the scientist who helped develop dangerous poisons, only to become a whistleblower when learning of their use against dissenters. To escape retaliation, he must flee at all costs. A political activist who survived two...

The world of Game of Thrones is complicated enough, but its prequel House of the Dragon seems to be making it further complicated by taking more than a few liberties with the source material. Ever since the series first premiered, fans have found several differences and distinctions between the books and the on-screen adaptation.

Journey & Talia are not together despite going on a few dates during Love On the Spectrum season 2. Abbey Lutes & David Isaacman from season 1 are still happily together. Dani Bowman & Adan are still together but have difficulty finding time to see each other.

The Netflix dating reality show Love On The Spectrum wrapped up season 2 recently, but which of the couples are still together? The show fights against the misconception that people who are on the autism spectrum can't form and maintain meaningful relationships. The most interesting part of the show is that it explores each cast member's personal experience with autism, which offers a broader view of it.

The cast of Love On The Spectrum seasons 1 and 2 included ten 20-something singles who are somewhere on the autism spectrum. Dating is difficult for everybody, but looking for love presents unique challenges to those who are neurodiverse. Throughout the season, these singles...

Serving the entertainment industry for more than two decades is a big deal, and Christopher Nolan has been doing it flawlessly. But there are several filmmakers, who played a major role in Nolan’s success. One such inspiration is Terrence Malick, who has unknowingly influenced Nolan’s works to such an extent, that today the Tenet director has turned into one of the most celebrated filmmakers.

Christopher Nolan on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Although the visionary director, Terrence Malick has been overlooked by the Academy Awards for years, his works have reached out to people and fans like Christopher Nolan.

In honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Et Canada is highlighting Indigenous Canadian TikTok stars who are shining light on Indigenous culture, history, representation and more, ultimately making a difference in creating a better future for Indigenous youth.

James Jones a.k.a Notorious Cree

Traditional hoop dance artist, James Jones, also known as Notorious Cree, rose to fame on TikTik and uses his platform to shine a spotlight on Indigenous representation in the media, which he never saw growing up.

He also recently made a TikTok with Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas,...

Indigenous Canadian TikTok star and musician, Tia Wood, is readying her debut album.

The 24-year-old opened up to Et Canada for our upcoming special in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30 about the creative process, which has so far been two and a half years in the making, since Wood left the Reserve.

Wood — who is TikTok famous with a following of 2.3 million — has the social media platform to thank for playing a big role in sharing her Indigenous culture and educating others online. The singer said “bringing awareness and the beautiful opportunities” that have emerged from creating content have been the best parts about sharing her truth on TikTok.

“I started realizing that there was a lack of awareness, and that’s when I became more meaningful in the stuff I was posting.”

“I’ve been invited to tables and to spaces that I’ve never been invited to before,...

Christina Phillips, James Jones, and Milla Clark have achieved astonishing weight loss on My 600-Lb Life, inspiring viewers with their determination and success. These cast members have overcome significant challenges, such as immobility, heartbreak, and past trauma, to transform their lives and become healthier. The weight loss journeys of these individuals demonstrate the impact of the show and serve as a reminder that it is possible to make positive changes and maintain them in the long term.

My 600-Lb Life has featured countless stories, but few astounding weight loss journeys have occurred. After all, losing weight is half the battle -- keeping it off is often the most challenging part. Many My 600-Lb Life stars have tragically passed away, so cheering on those who have turned their lives around is heartwarming.

While the weight-loss journeys of many cast members in My 600-Lb Life ended tragically, the biggest success stories are...

The fundamental thing about documentary filmmaking is telling a story in a manner that is exciting enough to grab the attention of the audience. Otherwise, why would you watch something about which you can find basically everything on the internet itself? Apple TV’s latest documentary series about former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn, titled Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn, follows this fundamental thing to a tee. As a result, watching the four-episode docuseries feels like watching a big-budget Hollywood thriller. The story itself is something that any filmmaker would grab to make cinema out of it. Someone like Michael Mann or Ben Affleck would do proper justice to it, for sure.

The documentary series is helmed by James Jones, who also happens to be a big deal. The BAFTA-winning documentary filmmaker has done many great works in the past that have covered grave international matters like the...

World War II has served as inspiration for some of the greatest movies ever made. The intense and gruesome war lasted from 1939 to 1945, with all the world's major powers playing a role. The war spilled onto almost every continent, with battles ranging from North Africa to East Asia. Many nations, even outside the United States, have their own mythologies around the war that influence their war movies.

The Second World War has inspired a range of films virtually every decade since the war ended. Many acting careers have peaked in WWII films, which are naturally full of emotion and pain – requiring great tonal range. The war has also been responsible for some of the biggest productions in cinema to capture its enormous scale.

Fred Zinnemann’s sturdy adaptation of James Jones’s army melodrama remains an underrated slice of homoerotic, bittersweet war-is-hell film-making

Seventy years ago, in the midst of mass critical adulation and storming box office for From Here to Eternity, the Guardian published one of the film’s few tepid reviews. “No doubt no army in a free country was at its best in pre-war years,” wrote the paper’s unnamed film critic, “but surely no unit of the American Army was quite so corrupt as this account would have us believe.” The acting and directing were “first-class”, the critic acknowledged; the film itself “[defied] credibility”.

Viewed in 2023, Fred Zinnemann’s big, muscular melodrama of Hawaiian barracks life in the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor has inevitably dated a bit – though perhaps not as much as the Guardian’s concern that it did the US army a bit dirty.

Apple TV+ has dropped the trailer for the four-part documentary series ‘Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn,’ telling the riveting story of CEO-turned-fugitive Carlos Ghosn and his relentless climb to the top of the corporate ladder, shocking arrest, and unbelievable escape that stunned the world

The series features in-depth access to all of the key players in the saga, including Mike Taylor, the former Green Beret who orchestrated Ghosn’s harrowing escape, and the man in the middle of it all – Carlos Ghosn – who, for the first time, tells his side of this ongoing, global news story, from start to finish.

Inspired by the acclaimed book “Boundless,” by The Wall Street Journal reporters Nick Kostov and Sean McLain, the series includes never-before-seen interviews and footage with the prime players who lived in the Ghosn orbit, his rise to corporate power in Japan, his several arrests and the details of his harrowing escape to Lebanon.

Christopher Nolan is one of the most acclaimed and influential filmmakers of our time. His movies are known for their complex narratives, stunning visuals, and innovative use of sound and music. But what are the movies that inspire and influence him? In this article, we will explore some of the films that Nolan has recommended or praised in various interviews and podcasts. Whether you are a fan of his work or just curious about his cinematic tastes, this article will help you discover some great movies that you may not have seen before.

There Will Be Blood (2007) There will be Blood Source : Mubi

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this epic drama tells the story of a ruthless oil tycoon (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his conflict with a charismatic preacher (Paul Dano) in early 20th century California. Nolan said that this is “an excellent film” and “Paul’s best”, referring to the director.

Traditional hoop dance artist and TikTok star James Jones, a.k.a. Notorious Cree, reveals he has a music album on the way — a project that has stemmed from finding fame through his entertaining yet educational TikTok videos.

During our exclusive interview with Jones, the Canadian artist from the Tallcree First Nation in Alberta, told Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman that he didn’t expect his videos would teach so many people about indigenous culture, admitting it made him realized how ignorant people in North America are to Indigenous culture.

“My intentions when I joined TikTok, I was honestly just really bored,” he shared, referring to the 2020 pandemic. “We were in lockdown with Covid and stuff, and I just wanted to spread some, as we say, good medicine, do some dancing videos. I never imagined that people would...

My 600-lb Life has featured some of the greatest weight loss transformations, many of which are truly praiseworthy. Since the inception of the hit reality TV series in 2012, over a hundred people have tried to become fit with the help of Dr. Now. However, not all have been able to achieve their goals due to poor habits and enablers.

Some top examples of cast members who couldn’t lose weight include James King, Lacey Buckingham, Ashley Taylor, and more. These stars had everything they needed to turn their lives around. However, their lack of dedication, family members, and personal struggles stopped them from becoming healthy again. Fortunately, there’s still a huge list of My 600-lb Life cast members who did improve their lives with incredible transformations.

BAFTA gave out their Craft Awards on Sunday, 23 April. As with the Primetime Emmys, the British academy also devotes a weekend to celebrating the creative arts. The BAFTA TV Craft Awards are split into 20 categories, with six devoted to fictional programming, six to factual programming, and a further four in combined fields.

The BBC medical drama “This is Going to Hurt” won three awards — Editing (Fiction), Scripted Casting, and Writer (Drama) for show creator Adam Kay. Kay adapted his best-selling memoir, which chronciled his experiences as a doctor in the NHS. Kay won in a stacked category that included Pete Jackson (“Somewhere Boy”), Alice Oseman (“Heartstopper) and Tony Schumacher (“The Responder”). “This is Going to Hurt” will contend at the Emmys in the limited series categories.

Meanwhile, Writer (Comedy) went to Lisa McGee for her work on “Derry Girls,” which follows a teenage girl and family in friends in 1990s Northern Ireland.

Just as the Primetime Emmys recognize a slew of categories during a weekend devoted to celebrating the Creative Arts, so too do the BAFTAs. The BAFTA TV Craft Awards honor various achievements across 20 different categories. An even dozen of these are devoted to fictional programming, another six to factual, and four are in combined fields. Winners of these awards were handed out in a ceremony on Sunday, April 23, three weeks before the main event. (Here’s the full list of BAFTA TV Awards nominations.)

Since its premiere, My 600-lb Life has featured cast members who lost a lot of weight. When TLC’s series premiered in 2012, the show aimed to bring the stories of morbidly obese people to light.

They make adjustments under the supervision of My 600-lb Life's Dr. Younan Nowzaradan (aka "Dr. Now").

More than a decade since the series premiered, some cast members have enjoyed major wins. Their impressive feats and inspiring stories also serve as motivation for people who look to follow in their footsteps. There is so much to learn about these dedicated reality alums.

On Survivor 43, the jury was critical of Cassidy Clark's gameplay, and fans are not happy about it. After 26 days of manipulating and backstabbing, Cassidy made the final three with Mike Gabler and Owen Knight, where she received a single vote from James Jones. Instead of rewarding Cassidy's ability to always be on the right side of the vote and control her own destiny through individual immunity wins, the jury chose Gabler as the winner. They cited his hiding in plain sight strategy as well as his likable social gameplay as the reasons for the win.

Cassidy won the final immunity challenge, which allowed her to proceed directly to the final three and then select two people to go head-to-head in Survivor's fire-making challenge to make it into the final three with her and Owen. During the jury questioning, Karla Cruz Godoy interrogated Cassidy over her decision to put Gabler...

Updated with full winners’ list and more details, including a leading three awards for Fire of Love: All That Breathes and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed — the two frontrunners for best documentary at the Oscars — split the top awards at the 16th annual Cinema Eye Honors in New York tonight.

Filmmaker Laura Poitras won Outstanding Direction for her work on All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. But it was All That Breathes, directed by Shaunak Sen, that earned Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, the Cinema Eye Honors’ equivalent to the Oscars’ Best Documentary Feature (see full list of winners below).

Sen’s film examines the work of Nadeem and Saud – two brothers in Delhi, India – who have devoted their energies to rehabilitating birds of prey like the black kite, which suffer in the polluted air of the metropolis.

“I was just asking Nadeem today how many birds he thinks they would have saved so far,...

“All That Breathes,” a documentary about two brothers who run a refuge for birds that have been injured by the pollution in New Dehli, has been named the best nonfiction film of 2022 at the 16th annual Cinema Eye Honors ceremony, which took place on Thursday night at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, New York.

“All That Breathes” previously won the top award at the International Documentary Association’s IDA Documentary Awards, the other major award devoted to nonfiction film. It is also on the 15-film shortlist for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Laura Poitras won the award for directing for “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” while “Navalny” won the award for production.

Find out where to watch From Here to Eternity, the Oscar-winning romance and war film set months before the Pearl Harbor attack, starring Burt Lancaster and Montgomery Clift.

Based on a heralded novel by acclaimed author James Jones, From Here to Eternity is often grouped with other World War II films. In reality, it is more of a romantic drama that happens to take place just before the United States joins the conflict. Still, most of the film is set on or nearby a U.S. Army base in Hawaii, where Sgt. Milton Warden (Burt Lancaster) and Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) are part of a rifle company stationed in Oahu. At the start of the film, Private Prewitt has just transferred from another Army base in Hawaii to the Schofield Barracks, agreeing to relocate and lose a rank over a dispute with his bugle core. Immediately it is...

The year 2022 has provided Survivor fans with a plethora of shocking tribal councils on the show. Survivor seasons 42 and 43 produced unexpected blindsides. However, a tribal council's shock value does solely rely on its conclusion, because pre-vote and post-vote debates are equally influential.

On Survivor, the batch of "new era" advantages, collective paranoia, and loss of voting privileges contributed to this year's top tribal councils. In addition, there were hints of "old-school" Survivor shock value. These included stunning betrayals, deadlocked votes, and iconic reactions from the jury. Here are some of the most shocking Survivor tribal council blindsides in 2022.

Hai Voted Lydia??? #Survivor #Survivor42 pic.twitter.com/4SivL3iUjK — Jordan Woodson #GlassOnionSweep (@jordanjwoodson) April 14, 2022 Blindside of Lydia Meredith

In Survivor 42, Lydia Meredith was voted off at the merge vote, right before the jury phase. In an interview with EW, the 22-year-old actress said she was "totally" blindsided.

Looking back on Survivor 43, Jeff Probst believes fear influenced the contestants' decisions during the season. Survivor season 43 was surprising for viewers and many of the contestants. Week after week, players went home after being blindsided during tribal council. The result of this game style was a relatively quiet Survivor season with a minimal amount of conflict between players.

On Survivor 43, it was rare to see an elimination where a player anticipated they were the target. One of the few players who knew they were going home was Sami Layadi, who played multiple sides in the game. Knowing he could be going home incentivized Sami to play his shot in the dark, but unluckily he did not gain immunity. Still, most other eliminations in Survivor season 43 ended with voted-out players surprised by the result.

Spoiler alert: This article spoils major details of Survivor 43, including the identity of the winner. Survivor 43 is in the books, and Mike Gabler is the latest winner in the series' storied history. When he revealed his tactics during the final tribal council, the other players and fans looked at his game from a new perspective. His strategy earned him the respect of the jury and earned him the win.

To be successful at Survivor, one must have a strategy of some kind, and long gone are the days of castaways winging it or even, in the early seasons, outright refusing to form alliances and voting blocs. Performing well physically and socially is crucial too, but in Survivor 43, certain castaways focused mostly on strategy.

Spoiler alert: This article spoils major details of Survivor 43, including the identity of the winner. Survivor 43 is over, and Mike Gabler outlasted everyone else and took home the title of Sole Survivor. He played an impressive game over the course of 26 days on the island, but the whole cast deserves a lot of credit for the game they played this season.

Each castaway had their own strength in the competition. There were some strong strategic players and smooth social players. There were few dominant physical players, however. Here is how the cast's individual wins stack up against each other from the tribe merger to the final tribal council.

Dwight Moore - 0 Wins

Dwight lasted long enough to be there when the tribes merged, but he missed the jury as he came in 12th place in the season. His vote off was crucial, however, since everyone thought he went home with Jeanine's idol.

Cassidy Clark was able to successfully make it to the final tribal council during Survivor season 43 but was shocked to find out she lost to Mike Gabler. Cassidy flew under the radar on Survivor but always knew what was going to happen when it came down to the votes. Her impressive challenge ability helped her make it to the end, as she won three individual immunities at crucial moments in the game. Unfortunately for Cassidy, the jury was more impressed by Gabler's game, and she ended up with only one vote to win.

While Gabler had some strategic moments throughout Survivor 43, Cassidy was in the majority from the beginning and was able to dodge the target on her back multiple times. In an interview with EW, Cassidy echoed the thoughts of many fans, saying, "I was pretty shocked as well." She claimed that third-place finisher Owen Knight was in agreement,...

Owen Knight, the third place finisher of Survivor 43, was just as shocked by the final outcome as the fans when Cassidy Clark lost. He made it to the final three with runner-up, Cassidy, and the winner of the season, Mike Gabler. While Owen was left out of the votes for a majority of the season, he was able to make his way to the end due to his impressive challenge abilities and his underdog spirit. Even though Owen may not have expected to win the season, he was not expecting Gabler to beat out Cassidy by such a large margin.

Owen was the rooting interest of a lot of fans, but even Owen did not expect to win the whole show. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Owen claimed, "I really thought Cassidy had it in the bag going in." Owen recognized why Gabler won, saying, "He's so interesting... And he's so likable.
