Benjamin 'Ben' Tan (commonly referred to by full name) is a human who appeared as a contestant on Survivor: Green Hill, and later became the winner of Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. He later appeared on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains and Survivor: Final Showdown. He placed 7th, 1st, 4th, and 19th respectively.

Considered one of the greatest players to ever play the game, Ben Tan was both a strategical genius, and also a goof ball at times, cracking jokes at serious situations, but still maintaining a serious attitude when he needed to. In Fans vs. Favorites, as Ben's alliance crumbled, he made a bold move at the Final 8, and it worked. His great comeback was enough to award him the title of Sole Survivor. He also hosted Survivor: Singapore when Jeff Probst became a contestant.

In the second series, Ben's future daughter, Yvette, competed in the first season, Survivor: Kermadec Islands.

Profile[]

Name: Ben T.
Tribe Designation: Moto
Current Residence: Newport, Vermont
Occupation: Comedian
Personal Claim to Fame: Coming to America to expand my horizons. I was born and raised a true and proud Singaporean. I never let go of my faith and my will to succeed. Coming to America allowed me to explore new chances, and start up my comedy career.
Inspiration in Life: George Carlin. I mean, come on. I get most of my influence from this guy, and even though he's beyond the grave, he's still shining through heaven.
Hobbies: Strategy games, watching television, and hiking.
Pet Peeves: I'm allergic to stupid, racist people, and really bad jokes.
3 Words to Describe You: Funny, clever, and friendly.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: No one gets a chance to play this game, and I applied because I believe this show needed me, Ben. Without me, what would they do?
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I might be a funny guy but I know I'm clever, and many will underestimate me. That's why I think I can win.
