Ryan Aiken was a 23-year-old Model from Ellicott City, Maryland when he competed on
Survivor: The Amazon as the youngest man of the season. After attending Howard Community College for two-and-a-half years, Ryan pursued a career in modeling and acting, appearing on the television show 'Young Americans' in 2000. On the all-male Tambaqui tribe, his overconfidence was quickly shattered when he and Daniel Lue struggled on the balance beam during the first Immunity Challenge, costing the men their lead. Ryan became the first person voted out of Season 6 on Day 3, and he has since become the CEO and founder of a nutrition company in New York.
