The Snake rolls into its third episode, Two-Headed Snake, on Tuesday, June 24, at 9:02 PM ET on FOX, and the competition is taking a turn toward forced collaboration—with all the expected backstabbing that comes with it. This week, the 15 contestants are told they must work together in teams to gain immunity from elimination, a direct challenge to the manipulative tactics that define the series.
The show, which puts strategy and deceit at its core, pushes its players to fake friendships and betray alliances in pursuit of a win. The arrival of an unexpected contestant in the prior episode set the stage, and now, that shake-up seems to be creating new fault lines among the competitors. The ultimate prize for this team challenge? The winning duo will earn the distinction of being the first-ever “double-headed snake,” a title that perfectly captures the show’s emphasis on calculated two-facedness.
Each week, the winner of the challenge gets control of The Saving Ceremony, a power that inevitably leads to tough choices and broken trust. For fans of reality competition shows that favor psychological game play over physical prowess, this episode looks to deliver plenty of strategic maneuvering and shifting allegiances.
