Behind the Screen: Snake in the Grass - USA

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Snake in the Grass - Season 1

Host: Bobby Bones

Location: Costa Rica

Premiere Date: August 1, 2022

Premise:

In a cross between Survivor and former ABC series The Mole, each episode of Snake in the Grass will drop four players into the jungles of Central America for 36 hours, where they will "compete in a series of grueling and mind-twisting challenges, from retrieving game pieces suspended on high wires over a 500-foot canyon to scaling the face of a cliff to solve puzzles." But one of those players is actually the Snake, and will be trying to sabotage the others to prevent them from winning those challenges, because each challenge win offers a clue to the identity of the Snake. At the end of the journey, the players will meet in the Snake Pit and put forth a guess as to the identity of the saboteur. If they are right, the three of them split a $100,000 prize; if they are wrong, the Snake keeps all the money.

What In the world is wrong with CBS casting that some no name shows can put together two amazing casts and Survivor & Big Brother can't with their returnee seasons?

most good people don't want to be stuck on an island AGAIN starving for 30 days or bored out of their mind in the BB house AGAIN for 90 days. when they can do one off things like this for less time

I wonder why they picked her... Parvati and Sandra must've been asked right?

ChampionDarrell#13

theres going to be 3 mole shows in the coming year, the netflix one, the other mole show with cirie and stephanie and this

what happened

Did y'all watch the trailer/teaser? It looks SO GOOD. Like I'm SHOCKED. I was only interested in the BB/Survivor girls episode but I'm definitely invested in the entire series now. The trailer was so well put together and suspenseful. This is a show everyone would enjoy even if you don't like rtv. I like that it's stand alone episodes too. Finally a quality reality tv show. I'm so looking forward to August

i dont like the stand alone episode element but they dont get this level of contestant if it's any longer. Yul Malolm Earl will be amazing but I think I already spotted who is the Snake from the preview they showed for that episdoe 

timster3#16

The mole is definitely losing the girls episode. They cast 3 beasts and Cirie. It'll be obvious from the start unless Rachel does something messy for attention and takes heat off the mole. Either way if it's CIRIE or someone else it'll be obvious to me. Idk how the mole is decided but I think from a tv producer you want Rachel because if she flops you can expect it cause she's so spazzy (oop offensive word) but if she is the mole and confronted for it she will start so much shit 

wutzrenzi#17

this is one of the most shocking castings in reality tv in a while.

timster3#18

I wish one of you idiots would have reminded me about this show premiering yesterday and now I got spoiled who the snake was. It was the Survivor men episode. Does anybody know where to watch this? I'm not paying for peacock and don't have access to USA network.

ChampionDarrell#22

ChampionDarrell#23

Chicken_breast#24

lavendarveto#25
