Profile
Blake Towsley was born in San Francisco and grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He studied in Oxford, England for one summer. He eventually moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University, where he double-majored in finance and political science. He currently makes his living as a commercial real estate broker and model.

Towsley describes himself as romantic, driven, and gutsy. His three favorite activities are skydiving, hunting, and kissing (not necessarily in that order). He says he's been president of every organization that he has been a part of and considers Lance Armstrong his hero because "the drive of that man is incredible. I like people that get off their butt and make their dreams happen."

Towsley says he has what it takes to become the Sole Survivor because "I am so competitive it's ridiculous. While I am not the kind of person to scheme and backstab, I am less of the kind of person to accept second place. SURVIVOR would be a true test of moral fiber and personal character, something I will find more challenging than any stunt."

In his spare time, Towsley likes hanging out with friends, cooking, watching NASCAR and hunting for quail. His birth date is May 5, 1981.

Survivor: Guatemala
Blake began the game on the Nakúm tribe, where he participated in the 11-mile hike through the jungle to start the game. After the hike, Blake had trouble breathing and seemed to be in bad shape. He survived the first vote because of his greater potential strength in challenges as opposed to Jim Lynch, and continued to improve throughout the game.

A tribal swap occurred, and Blake was moved to Yaxhá with tribemates Brandon Bellinger, Bobby Jon Drinkard, and Danni Boatwright, forming a majority over the former Yaxhá members. Blake told ridiculous stories constantly around camp about college, his girlfriend, or life in general. The tribe was heavily annoyed by his antics. When the new Yaxhá tribe went to tribal council for the first time, Blake thought he would vote with his former tribemates to oust Brian Corridan, but was instead blindsided himself.
