The Traitors â and the Faithfuls â bugged out during the Feb. 6 episode of The Traitors.
Following the murder of Big Brotherâs Derrick Levasseur at the beginning of the episode, host Alan Cumming informed the remaining contestants that theyâd have to pair off for the next mission.
Once the players formed pairs, Alan, 60, told them theyâd have to hold hands for eight minutes during a wedding-themed mission in order to add money to the prize pot. The catch: bugs and snakes would be crawling all over their hands and bodies while they did so.
Chrishell Stause matched up with Housewife Dolores Catania, but the Selling Sunset star, 43, wanted nothing to do with creepy critters and tapped out seconds after seeing the millipede that would be placed on her hand.
âThis is worse that my first wedding,â Chrishell said, referring to her ex-husband Justin Hartley.
The reality star married the actor, 48, in October 2017 after dating since 2013. He filed for divorce from Chrishell in November 2019, and secretly married Sofia Pernas in 2021. Meanwhile, Chrishell tied the knot with singer-songwriter G Flip in May 2023.
All of the other pairs completed the mission, which saw cockroaches, crickets, mealworms, tailless whip scorpions and snakes crawl all over them.
âThis is what I do for fun!â said Down to Earth with Zac Efron star Dylan Efron, who paired up with Tom Sandoval, in a confessional interview.
All of the contestants who finished then competed in a tiebreaker requiring them to face off against another duo and dig through a box of mealworms and bugs to find a wedding ring. The pair who found it first earned a shield that would protect them from murder. Big Brotherâs Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes and Sam Asghari and Lord Ivar Mountbatten earned shields, as did Boston Rob Mariano and Ciara Miller, who went up against Chrishell and Dolores, 54. Â
But they all still needed to survive banishment, and with many Faithfuls â plus fellow Traitors Danielle and Carolyn Wiger â on his tail, Boston Rob, 49, tried to shift the focus to Haynes, 37. Although Dylan, 33, stood by Boston Rob at the roundtable and cast a burn vote for Gabby Windey, the Survivor star ultimately earned the majority of the votes, including ones from Danielle and Carolyn, 38, and had to make his exit.
That left Danielle and Carolyn as the last two Traitors standing, and theyâd patched up their differences with Rob gone.
âHe gave us no other choice,â Danielle said to Carolyn in the turret. âThere was no way to defend him.â

Danielle also assured Carolyn that she had her back. âIf I have to, I got you, because I owe you,â the Big Brother alum said. âBecause I did you dirty and Iâm going to stick with that.â
But Carolyn said she wanted to take it âone day at a time.â
It didnât help that Alan gave Danielle and Carolyn their toughest task yet: committing a murder in plain sight.
The five players who didnât earn shields â Chrishell, Dolores, Dylan, Gabby and Tom â needed to head to the church to learn their fate. With Rob out of the game, Dylan felt somewhat helpless, but heâd have to wait until next week to learn his fate.
âBoston Rob was one of my most trusted people in here,â Dylan told the cameras. âYes, we caught a Traitor, but I also lost a close ally and someone that mightâve been protecting me in this game. So Iâm feeling very vulnerable tonight.â
