'Survivor: Second Chance' Cast: Why Is Vytas Baskauskas 'Banned' From Live Reunion? [VIDEO]
Vytas Baskauskas may have been the first person voted out of Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance, but now he's not even invited to the reunion!
Vytas became the unlucky first boot on Survivor: Cambodia, the show's current season, but now the yoga instructor is saying he won't be attending the live reunion scheduled for tomorrow. He replied to a Jeff Probst tweet earlier today, saying, "Great season through and through. Bummed I'm not invited to participate in the finale with all my castmates!"
When fans asked why Vytas was not invited to the reunion, he wrote, "Went home early to see my 1 year old son. Now I'm banned from the finale. Can't even sit in the audience!"
Why Stephen Fishbach Is 'Done' With 'Survivor'
The 36-year-old's tweets imply that he may have gotten in trouble with Survivor producers for flying home early after being booted this summer. Traditionally, Survivor contestants voted out before the jury stage of the game get to go on their own trip until filming concludes in order to avoid sightings in the U.S. Vytas flying home early could have violated Survivor protocol, hence the reunion ban.
It remains to be seen how (or if) Survivor will address Vytas' absence at the live reunion, but considering past reunions have included all the castaways in a season except in noted circumstances, it may be too noticeable for Probst and company to keep viewers in the dark.
The Survivor: Cambodia finale airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, followed by the live reunion show at 10 p.m.
