Looks like it could be one of two things. The first picture looks a little like a phyllodia. This is the leaf produced by some species when going into dormancy. The second picture however looks a little like a deformity due to low water levels or low light levels. If neither of these is a problem (i.e. has not changed) just monitor plant and it should be OK.

Fluctuations in temperature and humidity cause parts of the pitcher to stop growing which results in curved, twisted, and generally deformed pitchers. A few of these every season is normal.

I think maybe you let it too dry. Mine became like this when I forgot to water one day.

what do you think about this?*biggrin2*
that's not a big problem.
lack of sunlight mostly can make the pitcher deformed.
