Benjamin "Ben" Law is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains.
Benjamin's apparent shiftiness alienated him from his fellow Heroes, preventing him from ever finding his footing in the game. Though he blindsided Sharni Vinson with a Hidden Immunity Idol, his decision to continue working with the Heroes after the tribe switch backfired when the Villains gained the majority on his new tribe. As the person least likely to play an idol, Benjamin was ousted by the Villains on Day 22.

Ben is the ultimate slashie – author, broadcast journalist, writer and creator for the TV Series The Family Law, LGBTQIA+ advocate and Survivor super fan. He has been watching Survivor since he was a teenager and is coming into the game as a Hero saying, "Being a Hero is such an advantage. First of all, you're with a tribe whose heroic qualities are obvious whether it be the size of their brains, the size of their hearts, or the size of their courage. I also think it's an advantage as a new player coming in as a Hero because people are going to underestimate what you're capable of doing."
Using his journalism skills to find out information and his natural warm nature to play a strong social game, Ben admits while he might not be the strongest, he's scrappy and hopes his follow platers won't see his game coming. And while he will go in with the heart of a Hero, Ben is also prepared to play a little dirty if he needs to. He says, "I hope I bring certain values into the game like integrity but at the same time, as a storyteller I want all the complexities and I know that villainous people are capable of heroic acts, and you might see the Heroes capable of very villainous moves too.
"There's part of me that obviously wants the Heroes to win, who doesn't love seeing someone lift up their sword in victory."[1]
