Survivor: The Amazon
Ryan Aiken was placed on the all-male Tambaqui tribe. Like the other men, he was confident that they could easily defeat the all female Jaburu tribe. At camp, Ryan preferred to talk to his best friend Daniel Lue over helping at camp. This annoyed Roger Sexton, the oldest man on the tribe. At the immunity challenge, the men was a huge lead. Ryan and Daniel cost them the lead when they failed to get across the balance beam promptly. Being in the hot seat, Ryan lobbied for the outspoken Roger. He secured Matthew von Ertfelda's vote. He approach Rob Cesternino to do the same. Rob was also asked by Roger to vote out Ryan. Realizing he was the swing vote, Rob deemed Roger more benifical to the tribe. On night 3, Ryan was the first person voted out of Survivor: The Amazon in a 4-3-1 vote.
