FOX is throwing 15 master manipulators into the reality TV wilderness with The Snake, a new competition series hosted by comedian Jim Jefferies. Premiering Tuesday at 9 PM ET, Who Can You Trust? sets the stage for a social experiment where persuasion and deception are the only currencies that matter.
The format is simple: win challenges, become “The Snake,” and control who gets sent packing. The goal is to slither to the end and grab the $100,000 prize—but in a game built on fake smiles and broken alliances, trust becomes the ultimate liability. Adding a further twist, one contestant is unknowingly along for the ride—an innocent bystander caught in a den of vipers.
Jefferies, known for his dry wit and no-holds-barred comedy, seems like a natural fit to oversee the inevitable backstabbing and strategic showdowns. If the premiere delivers on its premise, The Snake could be a welcome addition to FOX’s reality roster—especially for viewers who prefer their competition shows with a side of Machiavellian scheming.
The Snake premieres Tuesday, June 10th at 9:00 PM ET on FOX.
