Name (Age): Ben Vielgas (33)

Tribe Designation: TBD

Current Residence: Alamogordo, New Mexico

Occupation: Repo Agent

Personal Claim to Fame: I've entered into and won five Mixed Martial Arts Tournaments in New Mexico. Not really something I'd like to do for a job, but it's a fun way to relieve stress regardless.

Inspiration in Life: My Wife, who stays at home and takes care of my daughter, while I risk everything to support them. She is the pillar of kindness in my life, without her I could not stand.

Hobbies: Judo, Tai Kwon Do, Krav Maga, Reading to my Daughter and building puzzles with my Wife.

Pet Peeves: People who don't pay their bills, I don't want to take your stuff either, don't get mad at me for doing my job. People who let their kids run wild. Vague people, just tell me what you want!

Three Words to Describe You: Level-Headed Fighter

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Jeremy Collins, Level headed, Strong and smart. A great competitor and truly worthy winner.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've only been watching the show for a short while, (Philippines was my introduction to the show) So for me I'm all about the win. Testing myself and working hard to win the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollars would truly change my life for the better. If I won the money I wouldn't have to risk my life anymore and could relax into a calm life and let my daughter take it easy.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm a strong guy and a loyal friend. There is nobody you want more on your side in an alliance. However I'm more than willing to do what it takes to advance myself to the end, even if it means playing dirty. If I catch wind of a plot to get me out, I'll do what I can to change that vote. I like to think I'm pretty strong in both body and mind since I practice building complex puzzles at home, but I'm not planning to make myself the huge target.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm tough and I'm smart. I'm not the easiest guy to get along with, but I know that and I know when to keep my mouth shut and watch. As long as it's not me being voted out I could care less who it is and I've got no problem following the plan. The thin that will make me the sole survivor is my skill. While other people are busy making big moves and backstabbing each other, I'll be there calmly and quietly manipulating things to go my way.
