Milwaukee 'Survivor' fans meet contestants, celebrate 50th season at watch party

The CBS reality show “Survivor” is now in its 50th season. The show has changed since it first aired in 2000, but the basic premise is the same. A group of people live together on an island. They have to survive with very little food, living outdoors in shelters they make themselves.  Each week, the tribe votes out another person. People lie and manipulate, trying to make it to the end for the chance to win a million dollars. Its host, Jeff Probst, has also been with the show since the beginning. Last Wednesday, Milwaukee Survivor fans got together for a watch party at the Falcon Bowl, where they had the chance to meet some of the show’s contestants, including one who returned for Season 50. His name is Benjamin Wade, but he goes by the nickname “Coach.”  WUWM’s Emily Files stopped by to hear from fans and Coach himself about why they think Survivor is still going strong after 25 years.
