Ben is a contestant from Survivor: Borneo. Ben estabolished himself as the leader of the Tagi tribe, having Olivia and Sarah acting as his followers. Ben would go on to make several key strategic and social mistakes within the game, allowing other players to take note and avoid making these same mistakes. Ben was the first person voted out of the merged Rattana tribe, being the first major blindside in the history of the show.

Survivor: Borneo

Ben started the game on the dysfunctional Tagi tribe, immediately helping to stir up trouble around camp when he challenge Andrew for leadership. Ben proved himself to be the strongest willing leader for the tribe, causing Olivia and Sarah to follow him, creating an alliance between the three. At the first tribal council Ben led the charge to oust Andrew from the game, gathering the entire tribe together to remove him in a 7-1 vote. Upon returning from tribal council, Ben attempted to force Teddy into his alliance, not realizing that Teddy was playing the game strategically two, creating unspoken tension between the two. Ben, Olivia and Sarah would later paint themselves out to be the 'bad guys' of Tagi, causing Danni, Larry and Ola to feel isolated. Despite their antagonistic ways, the alliance of three stayed safe after Tagi won two straight immunity challenges. Tagi's winning streak eventually came to an end, causing Ben to set his sights on Larry, who he felt posed as a threat to Teddy's loyalty to the alliance of three. Despite Teddy attempting to create an alliance between the four outcasts (which failed due to Larry's unwillingness to play the game), Ben got his way, sending Larry home at the fourth tribal council. Tagi would go on to lose their third challenge, letting Ben take out enemy Ola, who he removed with the assistance of Danni, who much like Teddy he threatened to get her on board with the vote. On Day 19 Razzy arrived at the Tagi camp to asses its livability, discovering that Ben was the leader of Tagi in the process. The two tribes merged into Rattana on Day 20, with tension arising immediately between Ben and members of Pagong, particularly Tia, causing her to become Ben's next target. On Day 21 Ben lost the immunity challenge by seconds to Danni, who was slowly becoming more and more comfortable with the Pagong tribe, wanting to get revenge on Tagi for their poor treatment of the outcasted members. At the first merged tribal council Ben became a target, with the group knowing that he was Tagi's old leader, and that he and Danni had a poor relationship. Pagong managed to successfully get Danni on board, removing Ben from the game in a 6-4 vote.
