Redemption Island: Brother vs Brother I really liked the Baskauskas brothers’, Aras and Vytas, chances heading into the season. They both had their great moments in the first half of the game. However, they were the obvious targets at the merge and were voted off to Redemption Island. Accordingly, they square off against Tina in the duel. The challenge is two parts. The Survivors throw grappling hooks to bring three bags back. Once...
