Ben (Brawn)

Stonemason

A risk taker and not one to shy away from an adventure, Ben is a stonemason from the Sunshine Coast.

Ben says, “My life motto is just say yes, give it a go, dive into the deep end and take risks. I’m a huge risk taker in life and will be in Survivor. Anything I’ve done in life that’s had huge rewards has made me nervous. I’m out of my comfort zone coming onto Survivor and I’m excited about it!”

A dad of three teenagers, Ben finds his zen in fishing, boxing and breathwork and Survivor has been a life goal for many years. He says, “Seriously 25 years in the making. It’s my biggest bucket list goal. It’s not about the money, it’s the challenge of competing in the ultimate human experiment. The real life Jumanji!”

And being a dad means he knows how to get the truth out of people saying, “I’m a bit of a master investigator. We’ve got a real problem with chocolate thieves in our house so it’s a bit of a game in my house to find out who took it. I interrogate the kids and always get the answers.

“So my plan on Survivor is to get answers from people. I won’t be locked into one strategy as Survivor is a malleable game but if I can get what I need out of people then it will make it all a lot easier.”
