As a result, it’s just over halfway through the first season and we’ve already had three people bitten — two of which were captured on camera!

VIDEOS Miley Cyrus’ SNL live performances of Wrecking Ball and We Can’t Stop

The infamously shocking Miley Cyrus did what I would have thought nearly impossible with her live performances on Saturday Night Live last night — she shocked me!
