Vytas Baskauskas
Aras's smooth-talking brother, who charmed an all-female Galang tribe and struck out on Ta Keo.
Known for
Vytas played Blood vs. Water as a family story as much as a game: a chance to repair things with his brother, Panama winner Aras Baskauskas. On Tadhana he joined Brad Culpepper's Five Guys alliance, then cast the revote that sent Brad to Redemption Island. Swapped onto a Galang tribe where he was the lone man, he worked the women with open talk about his past and pledges of total loyalty, and watched Kat Edorsson and Laura Boneham go home instead of him. At the merge he and Aras grabbed for power, but Tyson Apostol and Gervase Peterson blindsided Aras, and Vytas followed him out. He won one duel before Laura Morett and Tina Wesson ended his run, and his jury vote was the only one Monica Culpepper received.
Cambodia went sideways fast. His charm offensive on Ta Keo landed as smarmy with Shirin Oskooi and Kelley Wentworth, and the new-school players voted him out at the first Tribal Council.
