* Judging by the conflicts on the girls' team and Bridgette joining Gwen and Leshawna's side, Heather would've been eliminated had this not been the only reward challenge of the season, with Gwen or more likely Leshawna in the bottom two.

* On a similar note, the Gophers finding out about Beth's cursed Tiki Idol from Boney Island is what makes them vote for Beth instead of Heather. However, since it received more build-up over the past few episode, this example feels less like a DeusExMachina when compared to the previous episode.

** In "Seek and Do Not Destroy", she manipulates Trent into smooching him, getting everyone to hate both Trent and herself. Even though this plan worked (despite some [[WhatAnIdiot WAI]] moments being needed for it to), Heather had a very good chance at going home over him. Luckily for her, she wins Invincibility [[DeusExMachina at complete random]]. [[note]][[GambitRoulette Even worse]], she wins it ''after'' enacting this plan, but knew Invincibility would be random whilst enacting it, meaning she had no way of knowing this wouldn't backfire and get herself voted out.

** One of the most blatant examples is in "Wawanawka Gone Wild" where she gets hit by a tranquilizer dart which makes her perfect elimination bait after every stunt she's pulled all season yet Izzy is the one eliminated because... Actually, it's not really explained why nobody jumped at a rare opportunity to vote Heather off.[[note]][[FridgeBrilliance Then again,]] the rest of the campers were probably just scared of Izzy-who spent most of the episode randomly firing off a tranquilizer gun-and considered Heather the lesser threat.[[/note]][[note]]Gwen (the person most gung-ho for getting Heather out) was having a Heroic [=BSOD=] and assumed she was next, so she likely didn't influence the vote very much[[/note]]
** An even more blatant example is the "Trial By Tri-Armed Triathlon", where no one had immunity and yet Geoff was voted off for the flimsy reason of being 'too nice', even though he was friends with most of the people still on the show. [[note]] Even if people who are friends with everyone are considered jury threats in Series/Survivor, this justification doesn't work here because the season has no jury. [[/note]]
** Possibly worst of all was when Chris gave all the eliminated contestants the opportunity to decide which contestant still on the show would be voted off next. Since almost no one had good things to say about Heather, this would seem like a ''perfect'' chance for everyone to unanimously vote her off, yet a series of contrivances and manipulations by Chris end up getting Leshawna, who most everyone there ''liked'', eliminated instead.

* After annoying her teammates with her bossy personality and constant reminding of being a CIT, Courtney manages to escape elimination thanks to Ezekiel saying an offensive remark at the last minute.
[[AC:Not Quite Famous]]
* The entire Killer Bass, likely with Bridgette in particular, can be counted as such, considering the Gophers actually scored one more point than the Bass.
* Heather was spared from at least a tie-breaker, considering she only gathered the votes against Justin from only half of her team. However, it can be assumed that either Cody or Justin or both voted for Trent instead, allowing the 5 votes for Justin to become majority.
[[AC:Phobia Factor]]
* Once again, Courtney. Being given a chance to triple her team's points, she was the direct cause of their loss. However, likely as a result of the friendships her, Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, and Geoff, and perhaps because of Tyler's clumsiness, Tyler was voted out instead.
[[AC:Up the Creek]]
* Although she'd likely be eliminated anyway, as it was her advice to the Killer Bass that costed the Gophers the challenge, one could argue that Izzy may have saved Lindsay from elimination.
[[AC:Paintball Deer Hunter]]
* Cody's DeusExMachina injury as a result of being mauled by a bear causes most of the Gophers to vote for him instead of Heather.
[[AC:If You Can't Take The Heat...]]
* On a similar note, the Gophers finding out about Beth's cursed Tiki Idol from Boney Island is what makes them vote for Beth instead of Heather. However, since it received more build-up over the past few episode, this example feels less like a DeusExMachina when compared to the previous episode.

[[AC:Who Can You Trust?]]
* DJ ultimately loses for his team, as they would've won had he not taken off his blindfold to see his pet bunny during his challenge. However, likely as a result of the friendships between him, Bridgette, Courtney, Duncan, and Geoff, as well as due to Courtney wanting Sadie out for a petty reason; he's not even in the bottom two.
[[AC:Basic Straining]]
* Him being an outsider to Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Duncan, and Geoff's group, his role of a victim to Duncan and Geoff's pranks throughout the episode, as well as the reactions of everyone sans Bridgette during the elimination ceremony, clearly indicate that Harold would've been eliminated in this episode had he not rigged the votes.
[[AC:No Pain, No Game]]
* As indicated by her being in the bottom two despite not having a major role in the episode, Heather would've likely been voted out had Eva, someone considered the scariest of all, not returned to the competition.
[[AC:Search and Do Not

* Heather is once again saved by winning invincibility, as Geoff wanted his alliance to vote for her and Duncan had to remind him she's immune.
* Assuming Geoff didn't lie about not voting for Bridgette and Izzy indeed didn't go through with voting for Owen, Duncan was spared solely because Izzy voted for Bridgette for some reason rather than voting with the other group of girls for Duncan.

** Possibly worst
* Owen is also spared from an elimination as a result, as one could argue he's even nicer than Geoff. Keep in mind that Geoff still went with pranking Harold even after the latter promised not to leave his dirty clothes behind.
[[AC:Haute Camp-ture]]
* As shown by the eliminated contestants' opinions, none of them wanted Heather to win. However, Katie and Sadie start a chain of accidentally voting for Leshawna, all
[[AC:Camp Castaways]]
* Judging by Owen being in the bottom two and the other contestants' surprised reactions to the fact that there was a marshmallow for each of them, it can be assumed that Owen would've been voted out had Chris not decide
[[AC:Are We There Yeti?]]
* Owen outruns the girls, but wastes his chance to win by running to Chef's sticky buns instead of the pole, being directly responsible for the guys' loss. In spite of this, he's been spared likely as a result of Chef's greater dislike of Duncan.
[[folder: Total Drama Action]]
[[AC:Alien Resurr-eggtion]]
* Judging by them being the last contestants to be safe, as well as Heather being almost universally disliked for her actions in the previous season, Heather and Leshawna would've been voted out had Bridgette and Geoff not annoyed everyone with their constant making-out.
[[AC:The Chefshank Redemption]]
* Heather would've been voted out had Gwen not hit Harold in the head and/or had Gwen not voted for herself to keep her promise with the Killer Grips.
[[AC:The Sand Witch Project]]
* Judging by Beth's explanation of why Lindsay was in the bottom two, DJ quitting the show saved her from elimination. Since Chris didn't get to reveal the result of the Grips' elimination ceremony, it could be argued that DJ saved Justin as well.
[[AC:Ocean's Eight - Or Nine]]
* Courtney would've been eliminated with 4 votes against 1 had her lawsuit not guaranteed her being immune on her first day after her return to the competition.
[[AC:Million Dollar Babies]]
* As shown by Duncan and Harold's confessional, Leshawna apologizing for her actions through her cheer was what spared her in favor of Heather.
[[AC:Super Hero-ld]]
* As shown when the girls talk about who to vote for, Courtney would've likely been voted out had she not won invincibility.
* Courtney successfully managing to make Harold distrust Leshawna after Beth told him about the girls' plans to vote out Duncan is what caused Leshawna to be eliminated over Duncan.
[[AC:Rock n' Rule]]
* Lindsay accidentally voting for herself, thus losing in a 3-2-1 vote, is what spared Duncan from an elimination once again. Owen wasting his vote on an immune Courtney also contributed to this.

* Chris mentions the "If you don't sing, you're out" rule a few times throughout the series. However, multiple times over the course of the season, someone doesn't sing and isn't eliminated. This is especially jarring in Cody's case, as despite making it to the final episode, he didn't sing in the most songs.
* DJ, believing to be cursed to hurt innocent animals, attempts to lose on purpose several times, yet ironically goes on to become his team's final member.
[[AC:Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1]]
* Owen technically doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. However, Chris may have excused him for still having speaking lines in the song, or because he himself knocked Owen unconscious, rendering him unable to sing for the rest of the song.
[[AC:Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan]]
* Chris was about to announce DJ to be eliminated when Harold quit the show, sparing him from the elimination.
[[AC:Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better]]
* Bridgette's teammates vote her off for costing them the challenge, but no one thinks of blaming Leshawna, who was the one who came up with the idea not to stop at the checkpoints to collect their teammates.
* Cody doesn't sing with Bridgette and his teammates, but isn't eliminated. However, Chris may have excused him for his frozen state.

* Only Noah, Owen, and Sierra sing while Cody and Heather have speaking lines, but the remaining contestants aren't eliminated. However, although Chris never says this outright, it can be assumed this song was meant only for Cody and Sierra and Cody might have been spared for having speaking lines.
* Even though he tries to leave the show to end his curse and attempts to lose a tie-breaker, the judges' decision kept DJ in the game over Lindsay, who was actually singlehandedly completing the challenges for her team.
[[AC:Newf Kids on the Rock]]
* Noah doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated.
[[AC:I See London...]]
* Alejandro, Cody, and Tyler don't sing, but neither is eliminated. However, Alejandro may have been excused due to already being caught by Jack the Ripper at this point.
* Chris's ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem is what spares the entire Team Amazon, with Heather in particular, from elimination. Although, it is possible that he could have also announced a non-elimination round to reward both teams in some way.
[[AC:Greece's Pieces]]
* Chris outright says he ignores the results of the voting to keep Duncan in the show for the drama and "eliminates" an intern instead. Unlike the other fake elimination ceremonies, this was the only one that was without a doubt decided last-minute and wasn't planned beforehand.
[[AC:The EX-Files]]
* Cody, Gwen, and Sierra don't sing a song meant solely for their team, but neither is eliminated. However, it is possible that Sierra was excused for having a speaking line whereas Cody and Gwen were excused due to the anti-Gwen nature of the song.
[[AC:Picnic at Hanging Dork]]
* Cody and Sierra don't sing a song meant only for their team, but aren't eliminated. However, they might have been excused for their speaking parts.
* Courtney is saved from an elimination not only because of Gwen's convienient allergy, but also because a delirious Cody accidentally voted for Sierra, instead of Courtney as he had planned.
[[AC:Sweden Sour]]
* Cody doesn't sing but isn't eliminated.
* Courtney was spared from an elimination via a fake elimination ceremony, as all of her teammates showed an intent to vote her off right before it was announced.

[[AC:African Lying Safari]]
* Cody doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. However, he was likely excused for being at a different location at the time of the song, thus not knowing that the song started.
[[AC:Rapa Phooey!]]
* Sierra is spared after a 3-1 vote as a result of the last fake elimination ceremony of the season.
[[AC:Awwwwww, Drumheller]]
* Cody and Sierra don't sing and aren't eliminated. However, considering Chris announced the song in a scene with just Alejandro and Heather, it's likely that the song was meant only for the latter two.
* Alejandro is spared from an elimination as a result of 3-1 vote after Chris instead disqualifies Sierra for blowing up the plane.

[[AC:Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!]]
* The entire Mutant Maggots can be counted since they actually failed to complete the challenge properly while the Toxic Rats actually succeeded to bring their totem to the camp stite before its bomb exploded.
[[AC:Finders Creepers]]
* Brick attempts to quit, but Chris instead makes him switch teams and hurls an already eliminated Dakota in his place, all because Chef had been captured by Izzy, thus Chris not being able to hand the toxic marshmallow to the loser.
[[AC:Runaway Model]]
* Sam is voted out, likely for failing right when it seemed like he would win, as well as due to his gaming addiction making him the load for his team. One could argue Brick deserves this title for actually causing the second challenge to happen, with his clothing choice for Sasquatchanakwa causing it to flee in rage, kidnapping Lindsay.

* Cameron attempts to quit in order to get away from Sierra. However, Chris doesn't respect his wish and instead makes him switch over to the Villainous Vultures, similarly to what happened in "Finders Creepers," with the only difference being that this time there was no excuse to justify a non-elimination round.
[[AC:No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition]]
* Alejandro steals and uses Heather's immunity idol, thus making only his vote for her valid, making her eliminated in his place.
[[AC:You Regatta Be Kidding Me]]
* Cameron manages to avoid being eliminated with the votes rigged by Mal because Duncan had already left the competition as a result of being arrested. Interestingly, there's no justification as to why this wasn't a double elimination instead.
[[AC:Zeek And Ye Shall Find]]
* Cameron's medical evacuation saved Alejandro, who likely would've been voted out by Cameron, Mike, Zoey, and their newest friend - Gwen, who sent him to Boney Island.
[[AC:The Bold and the Booty-ful]]
* Chris mentions that whoever comes back last would be automatically eliminated, but if someone came back empty-handed, it'd be considered even worse. Gwen comes last, but is disqualified by Chris for ruining his painting. Meanwhile, both Mal and Scott came back empty-handed (although Mal won Chris over, claiming he brought an injured contestant).

[[AC:No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition]]
* Alejandro steals and uses Heather's immunity idol, thus making only his vote for her valid, making her eliminated in his place.
[[AC:You Regatta Be Kidding Me]]
* Cameron manages to avoid being eliminated with the votes rigged by Mal because Duncan had already left the competition as a result of being arrested. Interestingly, there's no justification as to why this wasn't a double elimination instead.
[[AC:Zeek And Ye Shall Find]]
* Cameron's medical evacuation saved Alejandro, who likely would've been voted out by Cameron, Mike, Zoey, and their newest friend - Gwen, who sent him to Boney Island.
[[AC:The Bold and the Booty-ful]]
* Chris mentions that whoever comes back last would be automatically eliminated, but if someone came back empty-handed, it'd be considered even worse. Gwen comes last, but is disqualified by Chris for ruining his painting. Meanwhile, both Mal and Scott came back empty-handed (although Mal won Chris over, claiming he brought an injured contestant).

With Jasmine being able to lift up the tree trapping her by the time, it can be assumed that if the last portion of the challenge had actually been shown, Jasmine would've likely beat Sugar to it.
