YMMV / Total Drama: "Up, Up, and Away in My Pitiful Balloon"

• Catharsis Factor: Considering how badly he treats his contestants and interns, it really was pretty satisfying to see Heather hit Chris on the head with his Gemmy awards and then kick him and Chef out of the zeppelin.
• Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of fans watch this episode just for Heather's cameo.
• Rooting for the Empire: Quite a few people were rooting for Heather, as she did get an ending where she did emerge victorious and only didn't get the money because of Ezekiel trying to steal it from her and falling into the volcano with the case.
• Strawman Has a Point: In spite of the fact she tries to steal the prize money from the other contestants, Heather is completely right that she won the game (in her ending at least) and deserves the money. She's also right that she was robbed in Alejandro's ending as well because he only won due to a technicality while she was the one who completed the challenge.
