The Midwestern Survivors began in 2018, when host and founder Blake Ball invited 16 of his friends to his grandpa's little lake cottage in Arkdale, Wisconsin to compete in a 3 day, 2 night version of Survivor. Survivor: Arkdale Lake was a massive success, and every year since at least one new season has been hosted:
Survivor: Arkdale Lake
Survivor: Arkdale Lake 2
Survivor: Sand Ridge
Survivor: River Ridge
Survivor: The Forest
Survivor: Return to Sand Ridge - Veterans versus Newcomers
Survivor: Lake Michigan
