Survivor 46 Finale Interview with Ben Katzman

[@cantremember817]

OUTRIP , OUTROCK , OUTSHRED

[@hikaz8704]

Ben achieved what Bhanu strived for without really trying.

[@thr3LoadR]

I couldn't have put it any better. You're absolutely right.

[@Spongeboymebob5]

Because he's genuine and that comes across on the screen. Bhanu was an actor

[@eichy815]

The irony is that Ben probably would have been a calming presence to Bhanu, if they'd been on the same tribe.

[@heathermathys4422]

Ben!!! The winner of a million hearts. ❤

[@theduckpond4279]

Sorry Bhanu

[@cupcakesarenice6357]

Ben is such a geniune soul, so happy we got to see him all season

[@andrewbowman6821]

We need Ben and Sifu to rock out together!

[@ramblingrandomthings]

Ben basically just said Maria does not rock and I gotta agree from what was shown

[@SlightlyBittah]

It’s so funny everyone dunking on Maria ☠️😂

[@ramblingrandomthings]

@@SlightlyBittah I love it it’s so funny

[@Vafex1]

My favorite part about Ben this season is that everyone kept thinking that he was secretly deceptive. This man does not have a deceptive bone in his body.

[@chuckjokic4557]

Love your profile pic

[@cassandramangelo861]

I love Ben's energy so much. You could see how he lit up when Rob asked about where to find him with touring, such a kind soul!!

[@maryla1558]

I was wondering if Maria apologized to Ben after watching Survivor 46 back. Egg on her face and may be it was editing, it came off super harsh. And when Venus let her have it, she was upset about it b/c she felt she was misunderstood. She wanted grace from the other players, yet withheld hers for Ben. 🤷‍♀️

[@Thief-d3c]

Love Venus ❤

[@joemodest]

That's why they had that mariah ben clip a secret scene probably to protect Mariah's narrative

[@drewd3222]

Marias a master gaslighter.

[@TheDXJC56]

Ben's the best his energy really helped make this season such a joy to get through

[@cantremember817]

I just hope Ben goes online and reads how much everyone totally rocks with him and it makes him feel awesome

[@HilariahLight]

Ben proves that Maria was a mean the whole time.

[@BlamoFilmz]

Had a feeling this was the case so its super validating to hear that she was as mean and bitter as she seemed. 😂

[@AK-vq5qy]

It felt like Maria had a big ego and it got in her way. And I imagine it bothers her people will think she was sour about Charlie outlasting her.

[@ryanjohansson8950]

Not surprising if you watched the secret scene from after Tim was voted out. Ben lost one of his closest friends and was clearly upset but Maria showed no empathy or care for him and instead started attacking and interrogating him about some nonexistent idol she assumed he had.

[@ryanjohansson8950]

@@AK-vq5qy She would never admit that even though it’s definitely true. Someone with her ego is always going to find BS rationalizations and excuses instead of admitting that they were just bitter and jealous.

[@hectortorres9698]

Idk what the producers were going for with the edit because Ben's version of events is not only clearer, but sounds more entertaining.

[@RenwickDavis]

Ben rocks. His chill game was unparalleled. King of Vibes indeed. His power knows no bounds.

[@hanzsem2293]

Loved you Ben. 😍 He did what Bahnu wanted. Won so many hearts.

[@mculbert1467]

I wisht he finalists could make an ample speech where they lay out their game, then jurors could ask questions to fill in gaps or challenge or whatever. I don't like how the jury's questions limit how a finalist can massage their stories.

[@Faithlovepeace85]

Totally agree because the way it is now leaves a lot on the table.

[@MirandaHorger]

💯!

[@ReliableMyke]

They used to do that I'm pretty sure. Didn't they used to have an opening and a closing speech?

[@mculbert1467]

@@ReliableMyke I thought so though I'm no expert!

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

Yep, that’s how it was for a long stretch of Survivor history. I believe it was somewhere in the 30s that they switched to the current format, but it’s been awhile since I watched those seasons.

[@JordanVanek]

Ben was my absolute favorite player to watch this season. I'm so happy that he won that final immunity challenge after suffering through the game. Ben is an amazing guy.

[@magnumcyclonex]

Ben really does Rock! He's a true stand up guy and despite going through what he had, he achieved a very commendable thing in getting to the FTC. No delusion there. He knew his game wasn't the best based on how everyone was using him as a vote but not as a driver/strategist, but he was so happy just getting there with his two FTC mates to plead their cases. Nice to hear that he's jamming with Coach too!

[@um773]

He's the most wholesome, happiest, sweetest guy. He deserved to make it to the final 3 ❤

[@thr3LoadR]

Ben is one of the truest players to ever play the game. As chill as they get. His journey in this season was so fun to watch. Rob needs to get this guy on RHAP more often!

[@SaraKearns]

Ben rocks, literally and figuratively. Bravo!

[@Abcelo665]

Genuinely surprised how much I loved Ben in this interview. Great Guy

[@good-questions]

Ben is fuckin great. I want to invite him to my local dive bar. Rob, thanks for these interviews.

[@cantremember817]

BEN U ROCK BROTHER- GOOD PEOPLE BEING GOOD PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS ROCK

[@kev62ish]

Just wanna let y'all know that Ben's band Guerilla Toss absolutely rules

[@paulcooper8818]

Wish the edit allowed more of Ben beyond the night terrors. The secret scene with Maria changed my opinion to be less positive about her.

[@TheCalebthompson633]

Please let’s make his new rocker name BENHU. The shredder to a million hearts

[@TheDXJC56]

I'm still a Benliever!

[@Thief-d3c]

I’m a Venusliever

[@lexeiy1730]

Ben is wonderful 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@ludagreko7947]

I wish people understood how hard it was for you to have these panic attacks and stay until the end.

[@jlzivi5277]

Sia for sure is giving him the $$$. I love Ben!

[@ladolcevita7777]

And Taylor Swift will give Charlie $$$ ❤

[@RUMZ70]

Ben made this season for me. I was a big fan. I hope he goes forward with much success in anything he chooses to do, and I hope we get to see him again, somewhere, somehow. Oh, and extra points for rocking the KISS shirt in this interview.

[@sloancommentsthings]

Ben is such a genuine soul. We are so lucky to hear his story ❤

[@pawpkulture]

Dude, i adore ben❤ so glsd you made it to final 3!!! Rooting for you in life.

[@pawpkulture]

The shade, he said if anyone should say they saw fire in Kenzie's eyes. Hahaha! Damn maria

[@annrodriguez2891]

Ben you were the heart of 46...we all love you...Liz could of won...4 nami on jury...but Kenzie was so smooth .Charlie was so good!!!!50???❤❤😂

[@hexywesky]

Ben rocks

[@kevinmichael7986]

Hes such a cool dude. ❤

[@ReliableMyke]

This was my favourite interview out of all of them. I got way more insight into some behind the scenes gameplay than anyone else this season so far. I really want to know what Ben's final tribal answers were that we didn't see, or that he wasn't able to say now.. I hope someone asks him this?? Also he's touring with PRIMUS!! GTFO! I'm 100% going to one of those shows. Spokane or somewhere else in the Pacific Northwest! Who's coming with me?? LOL

[@benkatzman3420]

SEE U WHEN WE ROCK

[@tatianamaranoedits4184]

He is beautiful and the winner of my heart

[@nickdehart7463]

Ben didn’t care about winning he just went on there to be a chill rocker and get his band notice nothing wrong with that hope his band blows up

[@Peyton_S]

I love Ben, such a sweetheart of a person. He won my heart!

[@jbee9361]

So lovely to see Ben with full sleep now - so he wanted Charlie to win...

[@Hector.Acevedo]

We need a Ben deep dive.

[@123abcdef87]

So Maria cost Charlie the game

[@Tes7000]

That is not crystal clear. Ben's comments in this video tell me that his potential tie-breaking vote was more in play at the time then he is letting on.

[@kaatherineyoung]

So, if Maria voted for Charlie, did Ben insinuate that he would've voted for Charlie? So, Charlie would've won?!

[@pmichaelreed103]

Yes, Ben said that directly on the On Fire With Jeff Probst podcast when asked. Probst and the cast interviewed the top 3 and they didn't evade it.

[@Tes7000]

I am taking what Ben said with a grain of salt. Just based on what he said in this interview, I think his vote at the time was more in the play than he is letting on.

[@SaraKearns]

Indeed, he definitely said he would have voted for Charlie and on the aftershow, he said the same thing when Jeff asked him who his vote would have gone to. In this interview, he talked a bit more about Charlie's excellent gameplay, though. He also repeated what he said to Probst about loving Kenzie but loving Charlie since Day One, but he added some of Charlie's strategizing and "masterclass" on composure throughout the game.

[@swaggery]

More interviews with Ben. Only wanted what was best for his homies the whole time.

[@miss.vickies]

Ben rocks

[@supermish8912]

Loved ben on the season. Wish he could’ve voted for Charlie to win!!

[@MissBabyNe]

Sweetest soul on 46, hopefully he gets the Sia money , he rocks!

[@carlenedaly6090]

Hey Ben! We see you! We as fans are smart enough to know how amazing you are. If they would have shown more of your game play, we wouldn't have understood a Kenzie win. So, we fell in love with Kenzie. That what they do. You are amazing! Thanks for giving us a great season. You are one of a kind! Way to go, Ben! We would love to see you play again. Look what you accomplished with no food or sleep. Wow! That rocks!

[@n.2488]

Love Ben

[@kimberlybergquist5057]

I really hope we can get a long interview with Ben.

[@Father_Daniel]

Ben is such a cool, sweet guy! I was really happy he won that last challenge. Could you imagine if poor Ben would have had to pick the winner if there was a tie!? His head would have exploded 🤯lol

[@4pfcarti792]

THANKS BEN FOR CALLING OUT THE MFS WHO TAKE THEIR NUMBER ONES OUT

[@rogersotelo6006]

I was hoping that Ben would actually play a strategic game towards the end. Unfortunately, the most memorable part of his game was the panic attacks at night.

[@asad5067]

bennnn you rock pretty hard!!!

[@cantremember817]

WHAT A ROCKSTAR

[@good-questions]

Listening to Ben talk, I just had this weird epiphany moment .. Maria and Kenzie probably agreed ahead of time that Maria would switch her vote.

[@eichy815]

Ben mentioned at Final Tribal Council that his parents were immigrants -- are they/he Israeli-American?

[@alexandraalbertz1442]

Let's goooo🎉

[@carrieostler5809]

Loved watching you play!!!

[@kayhoover6530]

Sounds like Ben's mind and body is sensitive to vitamin b and magnesium deficiencies.

[@Lashid4u]

GREAT POINT @ 4:40 - 4:50 ...That was the mistake made by Tevin ...If only Ben could have made these points at final tribal ..On the "Lord of the flies" style of the "weirdos banding together", he may have won the final vote (the million dollar vote)

[@ReginaScholey]

He’s such a gem

[@hermanprez]

Ben just might be the biggest trip on Survivor ever.

[@mykittenisagrandmaster4381]

Ben is truly a really good guy wish he would have gotten some votes but sadly I don't think the jury thought he did enough in the game which is why Charlie and Kenzie got all of the votes really happy for all 3 of them and I truly believe that Charlie downfall was not doing the fire challenge that probably was the one thing that cost him a million dollars

[@Tes7000]

Not making fire against Kenzie was absolutely Charlie's downfall in the game. He was way too comfortable in his assumption that Maria was his only potential competition in the finals. Hindsight is 20/20, but we now know that Charlie's best move would have been to send Kenzie home at final seven instead of Venus.

[@SaraKearns]

@@Tes7000 Hmm, 'not so sure. I think Maria's vote wouldn't have changed no matter who was in the top three with Charlie or what Charlie did with fire-making. I can't know for certain, of course, but her explanation didn't seem to hold water. It seemed to me that she was a bitter juror from what I thought former incarnation of the game. Resentful jurors are so tedious.

[@Tes7000]

@@SaraKearns Maria's still might not have voted for Charlie if he had gone into fire making with Kenzie, but if Charlie eliminated Kenzie at that point, Charlie would have been up against Ben and Liz, and Charlie would have won in a landslide. For Charlie to be so obviously the winner choice to the audience, the the jury vote was awfully close. All the people blaming Maria for Charlie's loss are overlooking the fact that he was struggling with the jury overall. Like everybody else, I thought Maria's vote for Kenzie was weird, but she shouldn't have had the power to destroy his game.

[@26days]

man, i wish he had a more holistic edit! bring ben back!

[@VondaInWonderland]

Dang! Touring with Primus. Primus sucks ❤

[@fennofir7791]

I love you Ben

[@callasky]

Watching this interview realized that I've been wrong, I thought he would've choose Kenzie if it came down to a tiebreaker. That makes me sad that Charlie lost Maria's vote.. But at the same time, I like Kenzie more.

[@TwoBiteBrownies]

10/10 human being. Absolute class act. Easily my favourite to have ever played ❤

[@jiro110]

I KNEW IT! He talked about Venus when he accidentally wrote Kenzie's name down!
