Ben is a 34-year-old former U.S. Marine from Boise, ID. While Ben started out Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers as a member of the Heroes tribe called "Levu," he made the merge and is now a member of Solewa.
Ben initially became ride-or-die allies with Chrissy Hofbeck, but he's not afraid to flip-flop and make big moves. As of recently, Ben is in a fantastic position because the alliance he's loyal to, which includes Devon Pinto and Lauren Rimmer, understand he's working as a "secret agent" to gather information from the opposing alliance.
But the opposing alliance, which includes Chrissy, is in the dark over Ben's plans and strategy, so every castaway assumes he or she is aligned with him. Ben, however, is a huge threat to win the game and everyone is starting to realize that. Curious to learn more about him?
