I honestly have no idea why you assume that the eight contestants in the balloons died. Total Drama isn't at all realistic; characters have survived things that would kill anyone in real life. Heather survived a plane crash and Ezekiel survived jumping into a volcano. Izzy and Owen survived having a plane fall on them. Heck, in real life, the Hurl of Shame would kill all of its passengers, meaning that Lightning and Cameron would've been the only ones to survive ROTI.
