FOX's new reality TV competition The Snake will bring together a group of players who are naturally persuasive and encourage them to make - or fake - friendships as part of the game. With new reality TV competitions popping up each summer, some will recognize elements of The Snake as part of the essential reality TV strategy handbook. With a cast of 15 players who are all looking to win the $100,000 grand prize, the competitors on The Snake have all been chosen for a specific reason. Their abilities to persuade, by trade or otherwise, are consistently off the charts.

While The Snake has elements of other reality TV competitions, it's a game of its own. With challenges for the contestants each round, according to FOX, "the winner of each challenge becomes The Snake, earning control of The Saving Ceremony," which is a chain-reaction process. The Snake chooses whoever they want to save, meaning that the key to survival isn't at all being the most liked, but instead being the least disliked person in the cast. With social strategy viewers will be excited to watch this season, The Snake brings the idea of a popularity contest to the next level.

The Snake Season 1 Latest News

The Show Was Dreamt Up By Jersey Shore Creator

The Snake will be coming to FOX from the mind of SallyAnn Salsano, the creator of the legendary reality TV hit Jersey Shore. While SallyAnn has worked on many reality TV shows in the past, The Snake is different in its reality TV competition format. After working on All-Star Shore in 2022, it's clear that the competition side of things left the show's creator thinking, and The Snake has become a completely different series than expected because of her creative nature. With so much reality TV experience, SallyAnn is sure to be an asset to the new reality TV competition.

The Snake will kick off its first season with a large group of contestants who are all persuasive in nature, whether it's because of their career, their upbringing, or a mix of both. Throughout the competition, the cast will compete in a series of challenges that puts some at the top, hoping to curry favor. In a game all about social strategy, The Snake will show the group who's in, who's out, and who's in the middle fairly easily. As the premiere episode approaches, many are curious about how the game will work, but others are along for the ride.

The Snake Season 1 Host

The Show Is Hosted By Comedian Jim Jefferies

Although many know Australian comedian Jim Jefferies for his comedy, he'll be taking on a new role as the host of The Snake. While Jim may seem like confusing pick for the host of the brand new reality TV competition, his personality does seem like it would be a good fit overall. Humor can be a great quality in hosting, and knowing when to joke or when to hold back can be tough. Jim, who's best known for his Comedy Central late-night show, The Jim Jefferies Show, will be able to bring a fresh energy into the fascinating competition.
