What happens to the water filled balloon?

The water filled balloon does not burst because the rubber obviously does not reach a temperature sufficient for it to melt or burn. The rubber is stretched thin so that heat is quickly transferred into the balloon. With air inside the balloon, this heat is not readily dissipated away from the spot touching the flame.
