How does Snake in the Grass work?
Each episode of Snake in the Grass features four players left in the wild for 36 hours.
During that time, they must figure out which of them is “the snake,” otherwise known as the participant secretly undermining the group.
Participants eventually compete in a series of challenges to receive clues to help them determine who the snake is.
After their time in the Central American jungle is up, they head to “the Snake Pit” to determine who tried to sabotage them.
If the three players can guess the snake, they win the $100,000.
However, if they are unable to, the Serpent runs away with everything.

How can I watch Snake in the Grass?
Snake in the Grass will be available to watch live on USA Network every Monday at 11pm EST starting August 1, 2022.
It can also be streamed on Peacock.
Before the show, Bones sat down with Hoda Kotbo and Jenna Bush Hager on Today, where he explained what the show is like “a social experiment.”
“I’ve never met anyone who says, ‘I’m a terrible judge’ — everyone thinks they’re good at it,” Bones said, via US Weekly.
“This show is that – can you watch someone and see what they’re doing and find out who’s lying? You see people being pressured, you see people doing hard things… can they keep lying and can they face it? because if they can, they’re going to win all the money.”
