* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Not all of them. Some of the execution methods, like dying from a bullet to the head or being beaten to death are almost merciful compared to the more creatively cruel ones:
** [[spoiler:Dex]] is lowered into a vat full of HollywoodAcid for trying to escape. When he's pulled out, his entire lower body has been dissolved.
** [[spoiler:Ula]] is slowly quartered after she loses both her memory challenge and the spinning wheel of death.
