Ben Driebergen Biography
Ben Driebergen is one of the most popular and richest Reality Star who was born on January 1, 1983 in Boise, Idaho, United States. He was the only survivor of this reality show hosted by Jeffrey Probst-hosted CBS reality show.
Driebergen attended Capital High School in Boise, Idaho. When he was about 12 years old, his father came out to the family and his parents separated. After graduating in 2001, he eventually enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. During his time in the Marines, he served in Iraq, attaining the rank of Lance Corporal. Once, while stationed in Fallujah, he came across an elderly couple that couldn’t evacuate the city due to the wife’s illness. As other civilians were being cleared out of the place, LCpl. Driebergen and his squad agreed to watch over them. After a week of protecting the two civilians, the couple was able to make it out of town on their own, unharmed.
At the Final Tribal Council, Driebergen specifically credited Fitzgerald’s win in Survivor: Kaôh Rōng and praised her gameplay, stating that as a “fellow controversial winner”, she should be proud of her achievement. Nevertheless, Driebergen voted for Vlachos to win, which he did in a 12-4-0 vote, making him the second two-time winner in Survivor.
He would be at Boise, Idaho with his wife Kelly and their two children Wyatt as well as Gracie.
He was employed in a supermarket prior to the Survivor contest.
He returned to compete on the show’s 40th season, Survivor: Winners at War. Starting on the Sele tribe, Driebergen would attend three of the first five Tribal Councils. Along the way, Driebergen was immediately pegged as a potential leaker of information when he unintentionally brought up a plan by Danni Boatwright to blindside Rob Mariano in Mariano’s presence. Following the Tribe Switch, Driebergen was moved to the new Yara tribe along with former Sele tribemates Mariano and Adam Klein, where they joined Sophie Clarke and Sarah Lacina. Having chafed under Mariano’s domineering style of gameplay since the start of the game, Driebergen and Klein turned on Mariano at the earliest opportunity, voting him out at the subsequent Tribal Council.

On Day 33, Driebergen suspected his alliance was plotting against him. At Tribal Council, everyone voted against him, but he played his idol negating the six votes cast against him, and his sole vote blindsided Rimmer. This was the first time in Survivor history that someone was able to negate all of the other votes at Tribal Council with a Hidden Immunity Idol. On Day 36, he found a clue to another idol, and found it moments before Tribal Council. He played the idol before the votes were cast which resulted in Nolan’s unanimous elimination. The following morning he found a third idol, tying Russell Hantz in Samoa, Tony Vlachos in Cagayan, and Tai Trang in Game Changers for the record of most Hidden Immunity Idols found in a season, with three. At Tribal Council, he played the idol, which negated the three votes against him, while voting against Pinto, resulting in a 1–1 tie between Pinto and Zahalsky. In the revote, Zahalsky was voted out. On Day 38, Driebergen lost the final immunity challenge to Hofbeck. During Tribal Council, Hofbeck revealed that since she won immunity, she had to choose one person to bring to the Final Three with her, while the other two castaways were to go against each other in a fire-making challenge. She chose to save Ulrich, forcing Driebergen and Pinto to compete in the fire challenge. Driebergen easily won the challenge, joining Hofbeck and Ulrich in the Final Three.
