So I basically stole this plant from @Nepenthes Odyssey who though it was too ugly to live lol
I look at it and wonder 8f it is a look into the past a version of Nepenthes that was around bedore they were as advanced and productive as they are known to be today. Anyway, it is interesting

Wow. I don't know what to think of it! Maybe it wants very different conditions from most other Nepenthes, or maybe it is a mutant form? Has it ever produced a functional pitcher?

When it was in her care she had quite a different climate and it did the same for her. It does produce pitchers, it is more that the tendrils are just crazy winged to the point where it causes the crazy twists and also affects the pitcher. The last photo shows a pretty good shot of the "best" functional pitchers I've seen. The new basal has a nice one forming- if it's ready for a photo I will add it...
