Chrishell Stause didn’t hold back on her feelings about her first marriage. The Days of our Live alum took part in a disgusting challenge on the latest episode of The Traitors.

Bug Infestation

The Peacock original series brought back its infamous bug-infested challenge. In the Thursday, February 6 episode, the remaining players had to embark on a wedding-themed mission that was far from romantic. Cockroaches, millipedes, mealworms, crickets, tailless whip scorpions, and snakes crawled over them as they held hands for 8 minutes. Stause got flashbacks to her first marriage to The Young and the Restless alum Justin Hartley, reports PEOPLE.

Stause partnered with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania. The All My Children alum didn’t want to deal with the creepy crawlers, and she freaked out the minute they fell onto her hand. “This is worse than my first wedding!” Stause exclaimed. The rest of the pairs completed the missions.

Dylan Efron loved the challenge. This was up his alley since it was similar to something he did on Down to Earth with his famous brother Zac Efron. He partnered up with Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval, who did extreme stunts on FOX’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

The remaining contestants ended up in a tiebreaker and had to find a wedding ring in a pile of mealworms. The pair who found it first would be protected from murder. Survivor alum Boston Rob Mariano and Summer House star Ciara Miller, who went up against Stause and Catania, ended up with a shield. Big Brother alumni Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes, actor Sam Asghari, and Lord Ivar Mountbatten did as well.
