Ben Burns

Benjamin "Ben" Burns was a housemate on the second season of Big Brother. He believed that being a single father to two children would give him the patience to make it far in the game. Ben cited his children as his biggest inspiration to win the show, as the money could change their lives.

BB2
Ben entered the House on Day 1. He formed the Quatro alliance in the first week with Chelsea, Ian, and Jasmin. The group was subject to the first blindside of the season, when Amalia was evicted over their target Sam on Day 9. Seen as a strong player by those not in his alliance, Ben was nominated for eviction on Day 11 against Jasmin. Despite this, he won the Power of Veto competition the next day, and later used it to remove himself from the block. He found himself blindsided yet again during the show's third eviction, when Michelle was evicted from the House. Still reeling from the shock, Ben found himself on the block for a second time the next week against Camila. He was evicted from the House in a seven to one vote.

Post-season
Following his appearance on the show, Ben returned home and continued to be a parent to his two children. He had little to no involvement with social media or fame.

Spin-offs
Ben has made some appearances on the The Big Brother Mash-Up spin-off series.
