1 / 5
Khatron ke Khiladi has always been reality TV extreme, but this time they really stepped on the freaky pedal. We rate some of this season’s craziest stunts that got us saying, "Ewww, gross!" THE TASK: One partner picks out three white crabs and three green crabs from a tank full of crabs, looks for keys and then sets free a carpenter’s saw to release their partner lying in tank full of 600 frogs.On the Gross-O-Meter: 5/10Crab attacks (ouch!) apart, this seemed manageable. Sure having frogs crawling all over you can’t be pleasant, but you know what they say about kissing frogs. Hello, Prince Charming?Text by Shaoli Rudra expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

THE TASK: Picking apples with your mouth while suspended headfirst into a tank full of 80 snakes. (Yay!)On the Gross-O-Meter: 7/10Sticking your head into a tank full of anything is unadvisable. A tank full of slimy cold-blooded snakes with beady eyes… maybe not? They will try and lick you with those forked tongues… (almost like slithery puppies that bite.)Text by Shaoli Rudra expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

THE TASK: Lie down in a empty tank and be banished to the end of a dark tunnel with five tarantula spiders crawling over your face. Along the way you need to grab three flags but only with your mouth. And as you get each flag you are rewarded with a thousand African cockroaches. And then another 1,000 cockroaches. And then a 1,000 lovely chirping crickets. Bas.On the Gross-O-Meter: 8/10You never hear such stories at parties. Why? Because it’s socially unacceptable to chill with creeply crawlies and for good reason!Text by Shaoli Rudra expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

THE TASK: Grab three skulls. One from a slimy swamp. Another from a pit filled with 60 snakes. And a third from a large crate inhabited by a large crocodile. Hang skulls on a tree. The tree has nothing dangerous on it. On the Gross-O-Meter: 8/10Get infected by swamp, poisoned by snakebite, devoured by friendly neighbourhood croc. On national TV.Text by Shaoli Rudra expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout

THE TASK: Snails on your face, you’re knee-deep in rats (is that even grammatically correct?), now you have to catch three white snakes in the midst of more than a dozen other snakes crawling around your midriff. On the Gross-O-Meter: 9/10No. Nahin. Nein. Non. Never. Never EVER EVER EVER EVER! Of course this all got us thinking of what things people do for publicity. And we felt so bad for them, we decided to give them some publicity. We hope the creepy-crawlies never return. Text by Shaoli Rudra expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
