Ben Browning got himself kicked out of a challenge. During Samoa's bruising Schmergen Brawl, he booted an opponent after Probst had already warned him, got disqualified, and helped sink a Foa Foa tribe that couldn't afford to lose anything. That's the kind of guy he was on the beach — combustible, and not the useful kind of combustible.
What actually buried him wasn't Russell's scheming, for once. Ben had called Yasmin Giles "ghetto trash," and Jaison Robinson wouldn't let it go — he dragged it to Tribal, called Ben a racist and a bully to his face, and basically said he'd rather walk than keep playing next to him. Russell and Mick fell in line, and Ben went out seventeenth on a 6-1 vote — one of the only Foa Foa boots all season driven by principle instead of by Russell, run off by the one teammate who flat refused to share a beach with him.
