FOX’s new reality TV competition The Snake will bring together a group of players who are naturally persuasive and encourage them to make – or fake – friendships as part of the game. With new reality TV competitions popping up each summer, some will recognize elements of The Snake as part of the essential reality TV strategy handbook. With a cast of 15 players who are all looking to win the $100,000 grand prize, the competitors on The Snake have all been chosen for a specific reason. Their abilities to persuade, by trade or otherwise, are consistently off the charts.
