User blog comment:Epic~00/Total Drama All Stars: Episode 3 - Saving Private Leechball/@comment-23587492-20130925155025

You have to admit at least Sam's torture this episode is slightly more "realistic" and is actually used as a plot device. Sam slowed the Heroes team down enough and got Courtney onto the Villain's team.

By "realistic", I meant who was actually expecting Sam to come back from Boney Island safely? Even if he didn't have this unexpected DJ curse thing, I'm certain that what happened to Sam at Boney Island would've happened to him anyway.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by many missed opportunities. That really could go any way, and there's always other episodes for certain interactions.
