Ben Driebergen

Known for

Ben started Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers as a Levu cornerstone, got stranded after the swap, and rode Yawa's winning streak to the merge. There he was the swing vote, sided with the Heroes and Hustlers, and led the Round Table majority through the Soko pagonging. He even played double agent to help blindside JP Hilsabeck. That made his own allies nervous, and soon they were plotting against him.

What followed was pure survival. He found and played three idols in a row, flipping the vote each time; once the first took out Lauren Rimmer, he was the undisputed target of everybody left. Then he beat Devon Pinto in the new final-four fire-making showdown. The jury dinged his social game but preferred his fight to Chrissy Hofbeck's and Ryan Ulrich's, 5-2-1.

In Winners at War, Ben kept surviving early slip-ups, feuded with Adam Klein, Rob Mariano and Jeremy Collins, and helped blindside Rob after the swap. Allied with Sarah Lacina and Tony Vlachos, he reached the final five, then told Sarah she had his blessing to cut him.
