Sounds like Fear Factor. I don't know what episode it is, but I've never seen "The Challenge" before.

I only say it's the challenge, because I remember watching this with my siblings and they watched that show a lot and also I distinctly remember Differnt colored team shirts and flags/banners flying which is a trademark of The Challenge I've come to learn but I'll check into fear factor
So this was a number of years ago and I was younger so the details are slightly fuzzy. It's possible it was one of the older episodes of the MTV show The Challange. All I remember is that a group of people was split into two teams. When they arrived in their location which was desert like, each team had to select one person who had to strip down to a bathing suit and get into a tub. Once that Person was in there, multiple tubs of different kinds of gross and crawling bugs were poured on them. The other team members then had to essentially lick the bugs off of that person and use their mouths to transfer them to a large plastic container and the first one to fill it to a certain line won. The most distinct part was at the end one girl who had been covered in bugs was like cleaning off and someone noticed there was another one climbing up on her inner thigh and she kinda squealed until it was off. I'm hoping someone can tell me if this was an episode of the challenge, or what show for that matter, and what season and stuff. Thanks.
