'Survivor: Second Chance' Cast: Will Vytas Baskauskas Overplay And Get Voted Out Early?
Vytas Baskauskas could do very well in Survivor: Cambodia or he could spectacularly flame out.
Jeff Probst Explains How Kelly Wiglesworth Is Perfect For The New 'Survivor' Season
Vytas is one of 20 former players voted in by America to play in Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance. The yoga instructor who was introduced to America through his brother Aras Baskauskas in Survivor: Blood vs. Water is going solo this time.
In Blood vs. Water, Vytas was on the unlucky Tadhana tribe. His tribe managed to lose the first four Immunity Challenges, but Vytas got into a majority alliance that allowed him to last until the tribe swap. The tribe swap resulted in Vytas being on a tribe with all women and while that made him an easy target, he managed to weasel his way in and survive two Tribal Councils.
'Survivor' Bringing Back Concept From Season 1 In 'Second Chance' Season
After the merge, Vytas teamed up with his brother Aras as well as Tina Wesson and daughter Katie Collins. However, Tyson Apostol had his own majority alliance who voted out Aras right after the merge. Vytas was naturally the next to go, and he was voted out almost unanimously.
Throughout the season, Vytas showed himself to be willing to do anything to get far in the game. He manipulated the girls after the tribe swap, he flipped when he voted out Brad Culpepper and his overall sensibility was that of a schemer.
Now, heading into Cambodia, Vytas has a pretty well known reputation for being a sneaky player who will freely manipulate to get what he wants. He will probably be one of the primary strategists and figureheads of an alliance. Fellow Blood vs. Water cast member Ciera Eastin will also be out there which could be an easy alliance to start with.
He could also potentially team up with Terry Deitz, since Terry played with Aras in Panama. Vytas also seems like the type who could have made a number of pre-game alliances.
Having said all of that, Vytas is sure to be a target of other power players in the game. It will be hard for him to hide behind others, and unless he makes a strong majority alliance that's comfortable with working with him he could be out sooner rather than later.
Cambodia Prediction: Vytas could mastermind the whole season leading or co-leading a majority alliance and easily win the game. But he could also try to make big, unnecessary moves that ultimately cost him. Vitas seems like a prime candidate for an early blindside, and that's what we expect to occur.
We predict: 15th place.
