Format

The contestants compete in challenges based around manipulation, persuasion, and deception; whoever wins the challenge receives a snake medallion and the title of "the Snake". Each episode concludes with an elimination process known as the "Saving Ceremony": the Snake nominates the first contestant to be declared safe. In turn, the contestant nominates the next contestant to be saved, with this cycle continuing until only two contestants remain. At this point, the Snake selects the final contestant to be saved, with the remaining contestant being eliminated.[1][2][3]

Production

On April 22, 2025, it was announced that Fox had ordered the series, with Jim Jefferies as the host.[4][1] On April 24, it was announced that the series would premiere on June 10.[5][6] On May 15, the contestants were announced.[7]

Snake Challenge: What's In The Box?

  • Every competitor deemed 'Weak' competed in this challenge. Contestants each chose a box that they couldn't see inside. They felt for what was inside: A live snake or the snake medallion. 7 boxes contained a live snake and only 1 contained the medallion. After feeling what was in their boxes, contestants were given the opportunity to keep their box, or exchange their box for another contestants box. Whoever ended up with the medallion was the winner, also known as The Snake.

Snake Challenge: Disgusting Drinks
  • Contestants were randomly assigned an opponent to go 1V1 against. They were both given the same gross drink, which were all composed of random mixes of disgusting food and drinks. On go, they raced to see who would finish the drink first without spitting it out. Whoever won would move on to the final round, while the other player was eliminated. A new drink was then given in the next 1V1. Once all first round matches were done, all the winners competed in the final round. At once, they raced to see who would finish the 3 gross items on the plate. Jack won, but Jacob called him out as he saw him spit some out into Jacob's bucket. After production watched the video evidence, it was deemed that another round had to play. Jack won again, this time for real, and became The Snake.
