NBC just broadcast the season debut of Snake in the Grass. The new action-packed reality television competition presents an intriguing challenge that has attracted the interest of viewers. Four participants are placed in the wilderness for 36 hours with a chance to win $100,000 in the new series. Jeff Zausch was one of the four contenders that participated this week.
Snake in the Grass, hosted by Bobby Bones, has fresh participants every week. Each week, four candidates will be required to determine which of them is the saboteur. If they are successful, they will divide the $100,000 reward. If they choose the incorrect individual, the saboteur wins the full pot. The candidates will be left in the wilderness for 36 hours and will encounter a variety of obstacles. The saboteur will attempt to derail and undermine their efforts, but the team must complete the tasks within the allotted time.
Jeff enjoys adventure, and he is used to taking chances. The Snake in the Grass participant has survived more days than any other competitor on the renowned reality television series Naked and Afraid. Jeff must show the other candidates that he is not a saboteur. Here is all you need to know about the participant in Snake in the Grass.
Prior to his participation in Snake in the Grass, Jeff spent the longest amount of time in Naked and Afraid.
Jeff has appeared on six occasions on Naked and Afraid. In addition, he holds the record for surviving the most days of any participant who has ever participated in the program. To date, he has spent a total of 121 days. Jeff conducted several survival missions as a youngster, which is why he was able to live so long on Naked and Afraid and Naked and Afraid XL. Jeff said that his experience in episode 8 of Naked and Afraid XL was very different, despite his many years of survivalist training.
In an exclusive interview with East Idaho, he said that he shot the most life-or-death situations for Naked and Afraid XL. Even a medical emergency nearly forced him to withdraw from the competition.
Jeff from Snake in the Grass credits his father for his survival abilities.
The participant in Snake in the Grass owes his survival abilities to his father. Jeff disclosed to the magazine that his father had a heart problem and outlived his doctors’ expectations. His father died just before the second season of Naked and Afraid. Jeff also said that he began self-assigning survival difficulties as a young youngster. He liked to camp in the mountains located close to his rural Idaho home.
At the age of nine, the Snake in the Grass candidate spent the whole night alone in a snowstorm. That night, the temperature was -15 degrees. Jeff said that his father was the most skilled survivalist he had ever encountered. He was the one who taught him to maintain mental fortitude regardless of the difficulties.
Jeff pled convicted of insurance fraud in 2015.
According to the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, Jeff attempted to submit an accident claim for a car without full coverage in 2015. This culminated in his conviction for insurance fraud as a felony. Jeff was sentenced to conduct 100 hours of community service by the court. The Snake in the Grass actor was also on a three-year probation. In addition, he had to pay Geico $376 in restitution and a fine of $1,250. Snake in the Grass airs exclusively on NBC every Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET. Check their local listings for additional information.
