YMMV / Total Drama: "X-Treme Torture"

• Alternative Character Interpretation: After Duncan threatens him for mocking him about how Lindsay bested him during the skiing challenge, Chris fearfully gives Duncan the last marshmallow and announces Harold's elimination, remarking that he was safe anyway and was just teasing him. Was Harold indeed voted off or maybe Duncan was the one eliminated but his threats were enough for Chris to spare him?
  • If the latter's the case, as Chris was aware of Harold rigging the votes in the previous episode to eliminate Courtney unfairly, maybe Chris saw giving Duncan the last marshmallow despite him being out as a perfect karma for Harold due to his previous cheating?
• Best Known for the Fanservice: The episode is mainly remembered for Heather and her Wardrobe Malfunction.
• Fridge Horror: The Signature Scene mentioned below. To summarize, by the end of the challenge, Heather is left sitting topless on a bear. Asshole Victim or not, this can cause a few concerns:
  • The bear is growling in anger at her for ruining its another attempt at stealing marshmallow. However, we can see later that she wasn't brutally mauled by it, unlike Cody several episodes ago. Given animals' very human-like behavior on the show and the fact that Heather was sitting topless on top of it, just what did that bear do to her, then? Especially since it may have had a huge time period for casting revenge, assuming Heather only came back in the evening.
  • With her top ripped off during the challenge, Heather has no way of retrieving it back and is forced to go back topless all the way to her cabin or straight to the mobile shower (if she assumes her team won or decides to use it to grab a Modesty Towel by the way regardless). Did she bump into any of the guys on the way? Or anyone at all for that matter? If she went straight to her cabin, did Gwen and Leshawna, her mortal enemies, laugh at her for entering the cabin topless, likely worsening her psychological trauma of being naked on international television? Or, seeing how she only uses the shower when elimination ceremony during which convieniently even her team is present (sans an injured Trent), did she wait in the forest topless for several hours, waiting for a chance to sneak back to her cabin/mobile shower when no one is around to notice her?
    • If she really did wait until the camp area was clear to come back unnoticed, just how long would've she been waiting outside topless if Screaming Gophers hadn't attended Killer Bass's elimination ceremony this time?
    • Speaking of Heather having to go back topless all the way, this means Chris and the crew have several hours worth of footage of a topless teenage girl. Seeing how evil they are, just what did they do with it? Can we trust that they deleted all the scenes that didn't make it and never tried to blackmail Heather with revealing the footage? Even so, the editors of the show still had to watch the scenes uncensored before censoring them.
    • The last point can go for the whole show in general, considering that contestants change clothes and take showers and the scene where Heather is about to take a shower in "Hook, Line, and Screamer" reveals that they're recorded from within the bathroom stalls as well.
• Signature Scene: Heather's breasts being exposed to Harold are considered one of the show's highlights, given how uncommon female nudity was on children's television back then and still is nowadays.
