Survivor’s Ben Katzman starts Slaying Across America Tour in Milwaukee
Survivor 46 finalist Ben Katzman was in Milwaukee for a season 50 watch party and concert to kick off the first leg of his Slaying Across America Tour.
The next phase of “Survivor” is upon the castaways of season 50.
Last week, the Blood Moon episode, which fell flat for a large portion of the Survivor fanbase, sent three people home to kick off the 17-person merge.
Now, it’s time for the jury to start being formed.
Fourteen people remain as the contestants return to one beach following three separate tribal councils and a twist no one saw coming. What will the fallout be when merged tribe all reconvenes? How will Ozzy Lusth and Rizo Velovic respond when they return from Exile Island after missing the last day of the game? And who will be the first member of the jury?
Here’s what to know about episode 7, including start time, where to watch, the cast left and who has gone home:

Is Survivor on tonight?
Yes. Survivor continues its landmark season with episode 7 on Wednesday, April 8, and it’s back to a 90-minute show following last week’s two-hour episode.
And unlike last week when President Trump’s speech broke into the episode, there shouldn’t be any interruptions – barring any breaking news.
Who got voted off Survivor last week?
Kamilla Karthigesu, Genevieve Mushaluk and Colby Donaldson were voted off at three separate tribal councils during the Blood Moon episode that began the merge stage of season 50, though production randomly split 15 of the cast into three groups to make it happen.
Karthigesu, who finished fourth on season 48, was blindsided when she was voted out 3-2. It was the first time she was voted out in her “Survivor” career since the last time she played she was eliminated in the Final 4 fire-making challenge.
Mushaluk didn’t have luck on her side in season 50. First, she never got to play the two idols that she found thanks to the Billie Eilish Boomerang twist and then she landed on a five-person group in the Blood Moon twist without any of her allies. As a result, she tried her Shot in the Dark in a last attempt to stay in the game. But she wasn’t safe from the votes.
Donaldson, back to “Survivor” for a fourth time, received a tearful sendoff when he was unanimously voted off of his five-person group. He likely wouldn’t have made it further if he wasn’t voted out since he was suffering from a foot infection. He was also on the wrong side of twists. He lost his vote in the premiere episode, leaving him vulnerable at his first tribal council of season 50 last week.
Survivor 50 episode 7 preview
Expect a fiery start to the episode titled “This is Not How I Play Survivor” as castaways learn of a betrayal.
The fireworks will be between Dee Valladares and Tiffany Ervin against Jonathan Young, who went against his former alliance in voting out Karthigesu last week. However, Valladares had gone against Young the week before so this friction was building and will finally come to a head.
One castaway will also be selected to go on a journey with the chance to earn an advantage. And the 14-person group will be split into two teams for the combined immunity and reward challenge before one contestant wins the immunity necklace.
Then it’s off to just one tribal council.
Survivor 50 episode 7 sneak peek
Also, at the beginning of episode 7, Lutsh and Velovic will return to camp to realize what happened after they left for Exile Island before the immunity challenge and three tribal councils last week.
Lusth had found an advantage that spared him from any elimination and he selected Velovic to join him. Since both Lusth and Velovic are close with Cirie Fields, who has delivered a masterclass in the social game again forming bonds with old school and new school players with ease, this likely forms a solid trio moving forward.
Lusth, Fields and Velovic all are in possession of advantages as well.
Who is left on Survivor?
From 24 to 14. Here’s the cast left on “Survivor” in alphabetical order and if they hold any advantages:
- Aubry Bracco (Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol)
- Rick Devens
- Tiffany Ervin
- Cirie Fields (Extra vote)

Who wins Survivor 50?
While spoilers – whether you want to believe them or not – are out there, viewers won’t know who wins the title of Sole Survivor of the historic 50th season and the $1 million prize until the season finale.
That will take place on Wednesday, May 20.
The winner will be revealed during the live reunion in Los Angeles during the three-hour finale episode.
Coach talks his return to Survivor for season 50 at Milwaukee event
Survivor legend Benjamin “Coach” Wade was in Milwaukee for a watch party and concert on Wednesday, March 11, and discussed why he returned to compete in season 50.
Coach from Survivor
Benjamin “Coach” Wade, one of the most eccentric players in the franchise’s history with the Dragon Slayer persona, is competing on “Survivor” for a fourth time and he has now made the jury phase every time.
Wade is also showing off his skill set away from the island while season 50 is airing. Wade, a trumpet player, is headlining a concert tour with former “Survivor” contestant Ben Katzman titled “Slaying Across America.”
The duo will be in Los Angeles on April 8.
Wade, Katzman and “Survivor” legend Jerri Manthey appeared in Milwaukee for a watch party and concert last month hosted by three-time “Survivor” fan favorite Andrea Boehlke, a Wisconsin native.
