I have been away since Tuesday, but back home last night I finally watched this weeks episode of Survivor. Sadly this weeks installment was a good bye one of the hottest men to ever grace the beaches of the reality show, Aras Baskauskas. Aras wasn't only great to look at, he was great to watch. He played the game, but without the cruelty so many bring with them to the game. Watching him do yoga within the locations extraordinary beauty was as beautiful and calming as the yoga itself.
Aras Baskauskas (born September 26, 1981) was the winner of Survivor: Panama and a contestant on Survivor: Blood vs. Water. He is of Lithuanian descent, holding Lithuanian and American citizenship.
The maternal grandson of Days of Our Lives actor Macdonald Carey, Baskauskas appeared on the show in 1987 as one of the children listening to Dr. Tom Horton (played by Carey) read the Christmas story.
Baskauskas played collegiate NCAA Division I basketball at UC Irvine from 2000 to 2004, where he was an honored as a Big West Conference scholar athlete for three seasons. He received his B.A. in philosophy in 2002 and his MBA in 2004. After college he had chance to sign contract with professional basketball club Alita in
Lithuania but he decided to go to South Africa to learn more about yoga.
Baskauskas currently resides in Venice, CA. He is the CEO of http://TundraGear.com, a winter hat company. He also spends much of his time and energy teaching yoga in Santa Monica. Additionally, he is part of The Cheshire Project, a non-profit that benefits people with disabilities.
