“The players 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,” a USA press release states.
Unlike the contestants’ previous reality shows, this program includes a “Snake,” or a saboteur who is intent on obstructing the group’s efforts in completing challenges — the success of which helps the players gain clues to help reveal the identity of the Snake.
The group will ultimately meet in “The Snake Pit,” where they must successfully guess who they believe the saboteur to be. If they are able to identify the Snake, they will split the cash prize. If they guess wrongly, the Snake takes the money.

He continued: “I know I could do the survival part. I could probably do it blindfolded every day of the week, but it was going to be the social challenge that was going to push the limits of what I’m capable of.”
