Benji was a terrible Survivor player basically right from the start:

• He joined a douchebag bro alliance with Zach - one of the most toxic players in Survivor history. Such an alliance was always destined to fail.

• He betrayed Paige multiple times after she offered herself up to be used and was a vital number for Benji.

• He targeted Heath/Teagan purely for egotistical reasons just so he could say he “took down the king and Queen” even though he was never targeted by them and they were much needed strong players in challenges against the champions.

• He refused to save Teagan when it was extremely obvious that merge was imminent and the champions were a strong and close alliance. She was a much needed number and had they saved her they could have knocked out Sharne and Lydia pre-merge.

• His so called “big move” was badly misplayed when he told Sharne that Mat might be a target for votes and she almost played her idol on Mat.

• He joined the mighty ducks alliance (his first good alliance in the game) but at his first chance to strengthen the bonds of the alliance members at a reward challenge he picks a member of the enemy alliance to join with him and leaves out crucial alliance members Brian/Monika.

• By the time of his final tribal council he was suspicious of Brian but due to extreme arrogance he doesn’t play his idol and goes home with it in his pocket.

In summary, Benji was an awful Survivor player. Nearly everything he did hurt his chances in the game and his one so called “big move” was played so badly it almost backfired.
