The Snake is social survival of the fittest where contestants are faced with a multitude of challenges while leveraging their unique skills and relying on their powers of persuasion. The winner of each challenge becomes The Snake, earning control over an explosive chain reaction elimination. In the end, only one contestant will get within striking distance of the $100,000 grand prize. The competition kicks off with an action-packed entrance by the 15 master manipulators who have been dropped into uncharted territory. A volunteer is selected at the start of the game, unaware of the twists and turns that come next. After the thrilling inaugural challenge is completed amongst the group of persuasive personalities, The Snake is chosen, and the fate of their fellow competitors lies within their hands.
The players enter week two of the cold-blooded competition where pacts, friendships and love interests are starting to form and are already getting twisted. The competitors face a gut-wrenching challenge which becomes unbearable for some and exposes various truths amongst the group. Then, The Snake has been chosen once again, with the power to save or eliminate, and the unexpected arrival of a new contestant changes up the game.
The arrival of an unexpected contestant continues to stir up the dynamics among the contestants. During this week's challenge, the competitors must collaborate and work together as a team to secure immunity. The duo that wins the challenge is safe from elimination and earns the title of the first-ever double-headed snake.
The players get surprised with a fancy dinner party but are hesitant to proceed as things seem too good to be true. Then, another mystery crate arrives holding a new contestant and tensions reach an all-time high as the players discover where their loyalty lies.
In a twisted test of teamwork, the remaining players must compete in a dunk of doom competition. Existing pacts face a major threat as ex-competitors remain in the snake pit from afar. The ultimate obstacle is loyalty, and with one wrong step - or slither - it's game overboard.
The remaining contestants are sent to their graves and must claw their way out by solving a riddle. Then, a secretive voice echoes, forcing truths told behind closed doors to break bonds and start rumors, and nothing is what it sounds like.
The players compete in a hide-and-go-seek-the-mongoose game that determines the Snake leader for the week. The chaos doesn't stop there, as more surprises slither all the way to the snake-pit.
The remaining contestants squirm their way through a murky chum-filled swamp in order to obtain the coveted medallion. Then, this week's snake sheds in secret, rattling the players until the last second.
Unprecedented pain awaits as the contestants must zap their fellow snakes with a shock collar. Then, a double-headed snake mutates and two players must decide their next move on the snake chain.
