Aras: (on what he planned to do with the prize money from Survivor: Exile Island) I have a yoga studio where I teach. I take people on yoga retreats, so if you got to www.yogawitharas.com you can check it out. We're going to Costa Rica in July 2006 - if anybody wants to join me, feel free.
Aras: (on why Danielle couldn't win Survivor: Exile Island) It wasn't so much what she hadn't done, it was more about what Terry and I had done that prevented her from winning. Terry had been so dominant in challenges and I had been good at making relationships. The vote with me and Danielle was more about who they didn't want to win, rather than who they wanted to win.
Aras: (when asked if he was confident he'd win Survivor: Exile Island) I had a pretty good idea that I'd won, but you can never be sure. I knew I had Cirie's vote and I felt like I had Terry's vote, then I watched the other people vote and it's a lot different watching someone write "Aras" rather than "Danielle". The one person I didn't know for sure was Sally, 'cause she drew smiley faces before and after my name and that threw me off.
Aras: After 39 days of living out in the elements and playing a good game, I feel so dumb to have my ego crushed by slipping on some rocks before Tribal Council.
