No, Coach (Benjamin “Coach” Wade) has never actually won Survivor.

What happens in his seasons

  • In Survivor: Tocantins (his first season), Coach was voted out in 5th place and became a juror.
  • In Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, he was eliminated early in the merge phase and finished 12th.
  • In Survivor: South Pacific, he reached the Final Three but lost to Sophie Clarke in a 6–3–0 vote, making him the runner‑up rather than the winner.

So up through South Pacific, the answer to “does Coach win Survivor” is clearly no.

What about later and Survivor 50?

  • Pre‑season stats for Survivor 50 list Coach’s historical placements as 5th (Tocantins), 12th (Heroes vs. Villains), and runner‑up (South Pacific), and they still describe him in terms of those earlier results, not as a past winner.
  • Coverage and fan discussion around his Survivor 50 return frame him as a well‑known returnee who could finally win, which implies he had not yet won the game at that time.

As of the latest publicly available information, Coach is a famous multi‑time castaway and runner‑up, but he has never been crowned Sole Survivor.
