6. Ben Driebergen
After a flashy spectacle of a voting round, we cannot ignore the fact that Ben’s name was thrown out as a potential target for the fake “majority” alliance to go after. Jeremy really isn’t a big fan of Ben, and he’s been provided with great reasons why; Ben’s social game includes actions like telling someone they’re a huge threat and talk over them.
If Ben makes it to the end of Survivor: Winners at War, I cannot foresee it due to being a huge threat to win. He had a working relationship with a lot of people, including Sophie and Sarah from Yara and now Tony and Jeremy from the “big threats” voting bloc at the merge. However, I don’t see these relationships right now more than one-way streets where those players think they can beat Ben at the end.
That’s why I have Ben lower in our Survivor: Winners at War episode 12 power rankings; he doesn’t have much control in the game. He got a big reality check with his blindside, though I don’t think he’s actively singled out as a player to get out of the game. Safety is nice in this game, but power is power.
