Snake in the Grass is back with another wild adventure. Each episode of the survival show features four contestants who are dropped into the Central American jungle for 36 hours, where they must compete in challenges for the chance to win $100,000. Strangers Lacey Jones, Brett Kessinger, David Redmond, and Rogerlyn Taylor will be seen in the upcoming episode, fighting it out for the "survival of the sneakiest".
The team of four will also have to figure out who among them is the "snake"—a saboteur whose goal is to sabotage the entire group's progress. The players will win the cash if their guess is accurate. However, if wrong, the snake will take home the entire amount.
The synopsis of the latest episode, titled Costa Rica Karen, reads:
"A survivalist from "Naked and Afraid" clashes with the team as clues to the Snake's identity mount."
Snake in the Grass Season 1 Episode 7 will air on USA Network on Monday, September 12, at 11 pm ET.

More about the show
In each episode of Snake in the Grass, four players team up as they set off to spend 36 hours in the jungle on a mission to win the cash prize. One amongst the four is the Snake, who aims to sabotage the team and keep them from winning. The contestants engage in a series of tasks and after every successful task, they get a hint to help identify the snake. One of the hints in the upcoming episode is:
"You never know, at first glace, the snake competed in pole dance."
USA Network's press release read:
"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."
After “overnighting” in the remote Central American jungle, the team will assemble at the Snake Pit to try and figure out the saboteur. However, if they guess wrong, the Snake will walk away with all the money.
