The Snake is an American reality competition series that premiered on Fox on June 10, 2025. The show is hosted by Jim Jefferies.

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]

Snake Challenge: Disgusting Drinks
  • Contestants were randomly assigned an opponent to go 1V1 against. The 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.
