Line #27 Recap/TotalDramaXtremeTorture


1	The campers are put though extreme sports challenges while Bridgette and Gwen search for the writer of a mysterious love letter.
2
3	!!Tropes:
4	* BigNo: Heather gives one when Harold still stays on despite her trying to get him to lose.
5	* {{Bowdlerise}}:
6	** The American airing replaces Harold saying "Boobies!" with "Booyah." All other mentions of the word "boobs" or "boobies" are replaced with "chest".
7	** Leshawna's line, "You two know someone else here with a booty as luscious as an apple like mine?" is replaced by "You two know someone else here with a kick-butt attitude like mine?"
8	* BrickJoke: At the beginning of the episode, a bear is seen stealing marshmallows from the camp, said marshmallows are later squashed when Leshawna rides the moose, and Heather later lands on the bear, who took the time to get more marshmallows.
9	* ChalkOutline: In an act of bullying, Heather draws a chalk outline for Trent when he has to jump from a plane. The implication, of course, is that he won't survive the challenge and she taunts him further by asking if "[impressing] weird goth girl" is worth it.
10	* CheatersNeverProsper: Played with.
11	** Heather tried to cheat by cutting Harold's rope, but before she could do that, her top came off and Harold got distracted by it. Heather still got him eliminated, but not intentionally.
12	** Played straight with Harold, who is sent home by his team after getting Courtney sent home unfairly by tampering with the votes in the previous episode.
13	* ClingyJealousGirl: Right when Harold was leaving, Leshawna notices that Harold mentioned seeing boobies. Once she realizes that it was Heather's, she proceeds to chase her.
14	* CrackShip: InUniverse. Everybody is shocked that Harold is Leshawna's admirer.
15	* CrazyPrepared: Considering Harold had all of his stuff with him as he left, its likely he saw himself getting eliminated.
16	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: To everyone's surprise, Lindsay outperformed Duncan, since she was determined to win the showers for the team.
17	* DistractedByTheSexy: Harold proves himself to be a tenacious camper during the skiing challenge. Heather just can't get rid of him the fair way, so she resolves to cut the rope he's holding onto. It does not come to that, however, because a branch rips off her top. The result is that Harold loses after all due to being mesmerized by the sight of her bare breasts.
18	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Chris flies the plane ''way'' to close to the ground, and then crashes into a stone pillar during landing.
19	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When discussing whether Harold saw Leshawna's boobs, she assures he didn't see them, but then demands to know ''whose'' boobs he saw, leading to her attacking Heather.
20	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Non-lethal example; Harold accepts his elimination more gracefully than every other competitor eliminated so far, instead boasting over how he "he saw boobies".
21	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Gwen and Bridgette are investigating and arguing over the identity of the author of the love letter, behind them Leshawna is riding a wild moose to win a challenge and barely holding on.
22	* GracefulLoser: Harold, as he leaves with his head held high, reflecting on how he loved, lost, and saw boobies.
23	* HandshakeSubstitute: Gwen and Bridgette fistbump in agreement to their bet that either Trent wrote the anonymous haiku for Gwen or Geoff wrote it for Bridgette.
24	* HiddenDepths: Harold turns out to be a skilled writer, and Lindsay, of all people, turns out to be ''really'' good at water-skiing.
25	* ImpactSilhouette: Trent's challenge-mandated jump from a plane does not go as planned. Trent fails to open his parachute timely and his team fails to get the mattress ready he's supposed to land on. Trent hits the beach hard and leaves his outline in the sand above his body.
26	* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Chris kept mocking Duncan for losing against Lindsay, while he kept replying that "The chick was determined".
27	* LaserGuidedKarma: Even though she ends up sabotaging Harold and gets him eliminated, Heather ended up exposing her boobies to Harold when her top accidentally came off. As she previously enjoyed seeing him naked [[Recap/TotalDramaIfYouCantTakeTheHeat three episodes ago]], it's fair to say that Heather had to pay Harold back.
28	* LastMinuteHookup: Harold and Leshawna, right before the former leaves the island.
29	* TheLoad: Owen is this in the first challenge, sleeping on the sofa bed meant for Trent to land on.
30	* LoveLetterLunacy: Gwen and Bridgette find a love poem and spend much of the day trying to figure out both its writer and its recipient. They first think it's for either of them by respectively either Trent or Geoff, but those two are quickly proven not to be the writers. DJ and Owen also are not the writers and Duncan and Harold are dismissed right off the bat. The duo eventually discovers that the poem is meant for Leshawna, who's been getting them throughout the season, but she also doesn't know who wrote them. That evening, Harold is voted off and he takes his last moment on the island to admit to being Leshawna's secret admirer and the writer of the love letters.
31	* NotSoInnocentWhistle: The Killer Bass have to get a foldable bench in place timely for DJ to land on safely. They get the job done and all is well until the bench folds up on its own and traps DJ beneath its pillows. Rather than help him, the Killer Bass walk away from the gaffe whistling as if they've go nothing to do with it.
32	* RedEyesTakeWarning: The moose's eyes turn red after Leshawna pets it on the head.
33	* PetTheDog: Duncan gives Harold a high five as he leaves.
34	* PlotHole: Even though the remaining contestants got to watch the challenge live (with the entire mud area being shown to be rather small in one shot) and Chris was following them on an RTV, no one aside from Harold saw Heather's breasts.
35	* ShakingTheRump: Gwen and Bridgette spend much time sleuthing around for the identities of the writer and the addressee of the love letter they found. It turns out that the letter is for Leshawna. She notes that they could've deduced that themselves by turning around and gyrating her behind while [[{{Bowdlerise}} asking either]] who else has a "booty as luscious as an apple" (Canada) or who else has a "kick-butt attitude" (America).
36	* ShipperOnDeck: Gwen, Bridgette and Lindsay are all quite happy to see Harold and Leshawna kiss.
37	* ShoutOut:
38	** Chris wears an outfit similar to the X-Wing fighters' pilots from the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise.
39	** When Gwen and Bridgette are arguing over the intelligence of their respective love interests, they make a reference to UsefulNotes/FriedrichNietzsche.
40	** Harold calls himself "[[Film/DirtyHarry Dirty Harold]]" in the confessional.
41	* SkewedPriorities: After Geoff gets bucked off the moose, Chris calls for instant replay...so that he can complain about his poor makeup job, completely oblivious to the fact that Geoff is flying over his head, with his pants down.
42	* SmellyFeetGag: One of the challenges requires the contestants to ride an aggressive moose for a minimum of eight seconds. If the moose bucks them off, the only soft landing spot is a pile of dirty socks from the lost & found. Screaming Gopher Leshawna manages to stay seated, but Killer Bass Geoff gets thrown off and is dunked in the pile, even getting some socks in his mouth. He smells so bad that the flies around him faint and only a skunk wants to keep him company.
43	* ThisCannotBe: Heather's reaction to Harold staying onto the skidoo after such a long time:
44	--> '''Heather:''' That's impossible!
45	* WardrobeMalfunction: Heather's top got stuck in a tree branch and came off while she was trying to cheat by cutting Harold's rope. Her exposed breasts still caused Harold to lose and would eventually be voted off the island, but was still an unintended and humiliating tactic.
46	* WorthIt: Harold gets distracted by Heather's WardrobeMalfunction and loses the game. He's voted off as a result, but the above mishap allows him to leave with no regrets.
