What is ‘Snake in the Grass’ all about?

The series pushes human nature to the limits as contestants will be thrown into challenges they will have to face to get out of the wild. The tasks, some hard and some survivable, will test the best of wilderness explorers. According to the EW, 'Snake in the Grass' is a hybrid between 'Survivor' and 'The Mole'.

“Getting to host Snake in the Grass has been a really cool experience,” said host Bobby Bones. “I lived in Costa Rica for more than a month while we were shooting it, so I can’t wait for everyone to finally get to see what we’ve been up to. The show is a mix of adventure and mystery – it’s going to keep you guessing!” he added.

Who stars in ‘Snake in the Grass’?

The cast of the series includes Malcolm Freberg (Survivor), Corpus Christie, Yul Kwon (Survivor), Earl Cole (Survivor), Jeff Zausch (Naked and Afraid), Pocatello, Rachel Reilly (Big Brother), and Janelle Pierzina (Big Brother).

Malcolm Freberg

Malcolm Freberg was a contestant in 'Survivor: Philippines', 'Survivor: Caramoan', and 'Survivor: Game Changers'. Starting off on the dreadful Matsing tribe in the Philippines, Freberg quickly attached himself to fellow tribemate Angie Layton, and later on to Denise Stapley. After voting out his ally Angie, Malcolm and Denise worked together and ably pitted the remnants of the former Kalabaw and Tandang tribes against one another.

Freberg's time in 'Game Changers' was short-lived. Despite having solidified himself in the original Mana alliance and finding himself in a good spot in the majority of the new Nuku tribe.
