BUG BODY BAG

Jennifer Gagliano came face to face with her worst nightmare when she was locked in a morgue drawer inside a body bag filled with thousands of giant roaches, flesh eating worms and disgusting stink beetles.

FEAR FACTOR: Tell me what was going through your mind when Joe revealed the stunt?

JENNIFER GAGLIANO: I was freaked out. I have a huge fear of bugs, and it really scared me.

FEAR FACTOR: What's your fear?

JENNIFER GAGLIANO: My fear about the stunt was the bugs were going to be on me. And they bite and they made noise and they hiss. And I was scared. Being inside the body freezer didn't bother me, being inside the body bag didn't bother me. It was just that I was going to be in there with about a million bugs.

FEAR FACTOR: How did you manage the keys with no light?

JENNIFER GAGLIANO: The darkness didn't really have an affect on me with the keys. What the problem was when I put the chains on, obviously I didn't think about this stunt as much as I should have. I had angled my wrist a certain way and it was harder to turn my wrist to grab the lock

FEAR FACTOR: Tell me about the smell inside the bag?

JENNIFER GAGLIANO: I didn't really notice a smell inside the bag, actually. The only time I noticed a smell inside the bag was whenever the girls would get out before me or after me. When I was inside, all I could think about was getting the lock undone and finding the right key. Then losing the key, then finding the right key.

FEAR FACTOR: Talk to me about the bugs being all over you?

JENNIFER GAGLIANO: When I got done with the stunt and I got out, at first it's weird, you don't think about that these bugs are still all over you. You just want to get out of that body bag. So you're standing there and then some- I don't think I realized until Jocelyn or someone was like, "Oh, they're still on you!" And then you start wiping them off. I freaked out when I realized they were in my pants, they were in my bra and I could still feel them biting me. That's when it just killed me and I stared to freak out.
