This is unreal!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful recap! You have brought back so many incredible memories. It's been over 15 years since I've watched Africa. My nieces and nephews will love this! You rock.
Thank you Ethan! I am glad you enjoyed it and I really look forward to you kicking butt in season 40!
Ethan I’m so happy that we get to see you playing Survivor again! You’re a legend inside and outside of the game. You rock bro.
Ethan, you were my favorite player in Africa and you will be again in S40! I'm so excited to see you play again!!
Can’t wait to see you in Winners at War! Love your game!
Is this really you, Ethan?
Ethan's plan of throwing the challenge to vote off someone is the first time it happened successfully.
Honestly one of the smartest times it has ever happened too
@@BrightyLighty_ not really the last smart time what about China when Peih Gee and Jamie threw the challenge to get rid of either James or Aaron and ended up getting rid of Aaron
I still remember when Ethan and lex went to that place with goats and he played with the kids
This is embedded in my memory
Ethan is a real-life legend and inspiration
True that!
Yes true that with his struggles he has had to go through in life and didnt he donate most of his money to his soccer foundation
I was fortunate enough to meet him and he’s such a kind and humble guy- he only really talked about survivor after we asked and talked mostly about his organization
Ethan is such a likable winner I hope he goes far on 40
Me too!
Rsoc12 um sorry bud but he isn’t going very far on the edge
Everyone hoped that. 😔
B Lam it was so damn stupid that they got rid of him to “weaken Boston Rob”
Narrator, "He didn't."
I wonder if Ethan tripping so often during that first challenge was actually his muscle memory from playing pro soccer and he was actually subconsciously saving himself from worse injuries than if he hadn’t learned how to ‘fall properly’ his whole life
Doubt it. He probably just pushed too hard and his team couldnt keep up with him so he tripped;
I was just watching this challenge. The 2 people at the front of the carts on both teams fell down multiple times during the challenge. I think it was just the hardest position on the cart to hold
You know it was probably since he had Cancer before
I think he said this during the show that it was because of his cancer he had before and the kemo he had to go thrpugh
Ethan was my favorite for the season. He also spoke at my college for freshman orientation and was really inspiring.
I like how this guy teamed up with Parvati and Parvati was trying to teach him how to lie.
He laid the groundwork for jury relationships. His ability to cultivate a friendly jury rendered all of his weak suits irrelevant. It was also the key to Natalie White's victory.
but don't forget: Ethan wasn't that close with Brandon and Kelly throughout the game. Even Kim P was awed by Kim J's answers, and Brandon was pissed by Ethan's answers enough to vote for Kim J
He's so handsome lol
For real I was in elementary school when this season aired and even I knew Ethan was *fine* 😅
And he aged very well too.
@@Florceleste28 So true
Woah what the-
shannon celeste I had a signed photo of him in my room in middle-high school 😳
Ethan is definitely my favorite winner, he’s just so likeable.
What a gorgeous man
And he also aged very well too.
Ikr😗😌
Ethan was my winner pick for this season, happy to see him win, excited to see how he adapts to a modern season.
I hope he does well on 40!
@@OnceUponAnIsland this didnt age very well
@@annbauman6123 your right lol
He's not quite the most memorable contestant on this season but his presence definitely makes the season as good as it is. Very likable and very chill, he always seemed like a great guy to just hang with. He may not have been the best at strategy or the best at challenges or whatever, but he was a solid player and you really do end up rooting for him even if I was rooting for Lex to win most of the time. Very good part of a very solid season!
Wow! Seeing all this again like, 19 years later, makes me incredibly nostalgic. I adored Ethan back in the day. I hope he wins season 40, he deserves it.
It’s surreal to think a future player is watching this exact video right now, maybe the next generation of players or even Ethan when he comes back
Ethan is he commented on the first comment from OnceUponAnIsland
Ethan is by far my favorite winner, then and now. 😊 Another player who's strategies here wouldn't work in other seasons, esp later ones, but he had such a good social game and really was a nice guy.
Plus, this is honestly one of my fav seasons still. I can 100% why they never did another season like this, for so many reasons, but I loved this cast and the dynamics so much. (Never forget Clarence and the chickens. 😂👌 Iconic.)
Ethan's my all-time favorite too. And Africa is my favorite old school season, and only second overall to David VS Goliath.
Excited to watch. Hope he wins 40.
If he won, that would be epic!
Damn. He would've had the first perfect win if he didn't answer those two jury questions poorly.
Brandon's question was a trap as he would have had to picked someone as the worst effectively losing a vote so he might as well have turned it back on him.
Didnt he win in a 4-3 vote
Everyone won in a 4-3 vote until season 6 I am pretty sure
@@annbauman6123 he won 5-2
I searched for this when RHAP mentioned you. :) Love your video, brought back a lot of memories of this season. Ethan for the win!
Love your videos, just found the channel, please keep making them :)
I will! I am almost done with all of the Thailand videos and they will be up on the Patreon within the month.
And right now he is doing great at Season 40, very likeable person
The chaotic music that comes with Boran throwing the Immunity Challenge, I can't 😂😂😂😂💀
First fan favorite to win the game
This is true!
Best channel ever I love how thorough this is and the added insight into the dynamics of the seasons of survivor. This video truly enriches the experience of survivor fans
What did you think of Ethan Zohn? Are you looking forward to seeing him on season 40 (Winners at War)?

so this is the man i was named after. blessed🙌🏻
"I'm not sure why he smacker her butt"
Look I'm not usually one to give men the benefit of the doubt when it comes to things like this but again...he IS a soccer player lmao
Winner of 40 here. I hope
I hope so too!
@@OnceUponAnIsland Too bad Tony beat him!
Ethan was the original Chad, change my mind.
Can’t wait for the Russel video.
He planted those Russell seeds in my head! I just rewatched Samoa for fun to get prepared to explain his season and how he lost lol
It’s gonna be a while until he gets to season 19. He took over a year to get through the first 8 seasons.
@@OnceUponAnIsland well for me I feel Russell deserved to win Samoa I hate bitter juries
@@annbauman6123 jurors won't be bitter if you won't make them so. If Russell played exactly the same game, but with more humble and less arrogant attitude, he wins
I think it should have been called survivor Kenya :P
Me, having never watched an episode of survivor and not understanding what’s going on half the time: this is so interesting time to watch all the other videos on this channel
The show is immensely fun to watch. They just filmed seasons 41 and 42.
Call me crazy, but I think Ethan beats Lex at Final Tribal if it comes down to it. Hear me out...
I think Lex has Brandon on lock based on their earlier relationship. Especially if Ethan bombs his question again.
Kim J picks Ethan over Lex, as she did at F3. Big Tom likely picks Ethan over Lex due to Lex grating on him too many times, which Ethan is never shown doing. Kelly is probably still mad at Lex over his witch hunt, so she likely picks Ethan.
That leaves Frank, Kim P, and T-Bird, and Lex needs all of them to win. I feel safe saying Ethan could win at least one of them over.
Exactly
Thats alot of assumptions that we'll never know because lexs bowels acted up at the worst time but you might be right
Well I think Kim thought Ethan was an easier win than Lex
And I think Big Tom was closer to Lex so I think Tom would of voted for Lex
It wad all because of that damn final 4 question that screwed Lex over
I don't think Ethan answering with t-bird during Kim's question is a "dumb" move. Him saying Kim like older Kim would be seen as pandering
My all time favorite Survivor contestant
ETHAN!!!!!
ZOHN!!!!
Such an amazing video would love to see similar made about Jonny Fairplay, Chris from vanuatu, Fabio or Mike Holloway, whom ever it will be I'll be watching for sgure
I guarantee a video for each winner!
Are you doing a story for every season/winner?
I am going through every season in chronological order. You can find story videos already made about Richard Hatch, Tina Wesson, Colby Donaldson, and Lex van den Berghe. I plan on doing the winner for each season and letting my patrons on Patreon pick the others :)
"He keeps tripping, and tripping, and tripping..."
Hey take it easy on him he is a professional soccer player after all. *ba dum tsss*
Ethan looks like the younger male version of medusa, but in a good way
I’ve realized that these are season recaps under the guise of being from the winner’s perspective.
If it is the winner's story then I do go through the whole season, but I leave out large chunks of what happened since it doesn't pertain to the winner.
And if it isn't the winner's story then the story stops where they get voted out.
Once Upon An Island I love the smart/dumb stats.
I mean... it’s not under any guise though at all that’s exactly the premise of this series
33:25 Thats what i call a real "WOO"
RHAP gave you a shout-out!
I heard it when Mike Bloom talked about Ethan!
Hey you know which episode that is?
@@narwhal3051 At the 14:30 mark :) ua-cam.com/video/Xel11HjZztw/v-deo.html
You should do Ethan on all stars
Pick him on Patreon!
LMAO at Ethan dyving like the soccer player he was
Hackey Sack - I feel like I'm 11 years old living in the 90s
Ethan telling Brandan to his face he is the least deserving to sit at Final Tribal with him is the kind of thing I'd expect like Russell Hantz to say
I wonder how Kim Johnson might have fared against Lex, rather than Ethan. Did she make an error in taking Ethan to the Final 2?
No I think she loses either way
@@annbauman6123she never wins final 2 against Lex or Ethan. Heck - if not the bad speech by Ethan and good speech by her it would've been maybe even 7 - 0
@@snobey that’s what I said ???
It was supposed to be a reply to the author of the comment, not you. Missclick I guess
Ethan was my favorite winner
Ethan: They would kick you out of the army!
Big Tom: Hell they’d shoot you!
Ethan: they would shoot you!
🤣
You could tell Ethan was like wtf for millisecond before saying it with Tom, but agreed with him because they were heated.
Justin think that you should get a Instagram or a twitter for easy contact with subs
My crush
C
An u do a all stars review on him
Great idea! The patrons pick what videos I make.
Yes he was awesome in all stars
After hot Colby lost in the previous season, the hot guy winning in the next was so good.
Damn, Clarence must have had a very unpleasant experience 😢
He made sure he didn't piss anyone else lol
18:27 lol
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Like if you’re watching getting amped for Survivor season 40 Winners at War !!!
Liked.
Well-deserved winner. Him vs Lex would be amazing final two in that season.. who do you think would win?
I asked Ethan who he would of brought and he said Lex. That would of been a close 4-3 vote I think.
@@OnceUponAnIsland you mean that Ethan said he would lose to Lex? I'm sorry but I'm not 100% sure what does "who he would of brought" mean :(
@@AC-xb4rx Sorry about that. If Ethan had won the final 3 immunity, he said he would of brought Lex over Kim Johnson.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Thanks. I also think it would be 4-3 close vote. Keep doing that videos, they are awesome! :)
So Ethan sabotaged his game at final tribal council
Eh... if he was up against Lex it would of been worse.
I came here from reddit
Awesome!
Ikr
The final Brandon thing he could have just said Kim and got his vote probably
Ethan was the only survivor that played a honest and good moral game
-Russell Swan (in his first season)
-Yul
-Earl
-Natalie White
-Rodger and Elisabeth
@@snobey and………. Won the game
@@JMAN97712 how many seasons have you watched? Because I can spoil some of them
we share one thing in commen....... the name........
Ethan's closing speech was disrespecting Kelly 😂
a f r i c a
I know Ethan
Haha! How are you related to him?
He is my uncle
@@isaiahzohn8189 That is super cool! Have you seen his two seasons?
Yea just by the way you are one of my favorite youtubers
@@isaiahzohn8189 Thanks Isaiah!
I think his name was Rex not Lex? If i remember it right.
Lex van den Berghe
Lol
Where's ozzy's episode
Haven't got to his season yet
@@OnceUponAnIsland I need one of Ozzy. Please call it Dolphin Boy. That's all I ask.
Rob C gave you a shout out cool series 👍
Did he? Where? :)
Once Upon An Island he has a podcast on UA-cam with 4 split cameras discussing the newest season 40 with all the winners. He mentions your video for the people who don’t remember Ethans gameplay from Africa.
@@ColbyBumington Oh do you mean when Mike Bloom talked about it? That was awesome.
Once Upon An Island maybe it was I had my headphones on while driving
black bean gate 😅😂
I can't wait till you do Russell, I'm betting Dumb Villain XD
Apparently the person who single handedly controlled the entire strategic aspect of the game is "dumb" in your books.
@@SandeProHiQu lets be real, hes social game sucked, because of that he lost
@@noahschutzius1170 Survivor is about Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. Social game is only one aspect of the game.
Besides, a lot of people tend to discredit his social game. He made strong alliances that allowed him to stay in the game. The only aspect he could've improved upon is the jury management of his non-allies.
@@SandeProHiQu Yes but you can't say russell was a great player when arguably the most important part of the game he just kinda sucked at
for every move he made he told the people on the bottom they sucked, sure his strategic game was KIlLER but that's not everything, Looks at Fabio he ONLY had his social game and he won.
@@noahschutzius1170 If social game is the most important aspect, then why do all social people get targeted and taken out in modern seasons? The game has evolved. You can't win with just being nice anyone.
beangate lol
nobody knows this about Ethan zohn his dad had and died from cancer I have known Ethan since he was 6 years old
Really?
Show me on this doll where he touched you Ethan, "everywhere"
The whole "going against the best" mentally is super dumb when a million dollars is at stake lol
Mentality *
Season 3 was a different beast.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Actually, I prefer someone to bring someone to the end that gives them actual competiton, rather than a goat than anyone can beat.
Kim shouldn’t have got a single vote.
Nah Ethan really messed up in the ftc.
I'd definitely argue that Lex was the best player of the season
I don't think Ethan loses to Lex.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Neither do I.
1. Richard
2. Tina
3. Ethan
Ethan really didn’t do anything that said “WOW” and just followed Lex and Tom all the way till the final 4. If it wasn’t for his relationship with Kim he wouldn’t made it to the final.
The real question is would he have won if Lex and him was in the final or even Tom and him?
Ethan was a do-nothing.
Ethan is the first popular winner because he's the first straight white male hero archetype. Hatch is gay and a villain and Tina is a hero but a woman. Rudy and Colby were favoured because they were the straight white male hero archetype of seasons 1 and 2 respectively.
And there was no popular winner again til Tom Westman, as again, the straight white male hero archetype. The winners in between were women (Amber, Sandra, Jenna and in Vecepia's case also black) or straight white male villains (Brian and Chris D). I'd go so far as to say that Thailand and Amazon were less popular as there was no straight white male hero archetype edit for audiences to cheer for (even though Amazon is a great season).
After Tom Westman, people weren't keen about Danni (smart under the radar female), Aras (straight white male yes but Terry was the favoured straight white male HERO arechetype, whereas Aras was tinged with borderline villainy as Terry's nemesis and no other reason really). Then we get Yul and Earl (not white but at least straight males and hero archetypes so they're respected but not to the Ethan and Tom W levels of adoration), then Todd (gay and a villain), then Parvati (a woman and a villain), then Bob (an interesting one as he is staight white male and the audience liked him mostly but there was no straight white male HERO archetype this season, and guess what another season not widely liked by fans despite it being fantastic), then there was JT whose edit was definitely filling straight white male hero archetype and he was LOVED by fans (but his villainous and dopey ways in his subsequent seasons have since tarnished that but at the time of Tocantins he was adored for filling that straight white male hero archetype).
Samoa and Heroes vs Villains was a turning point in Survivor history as a lot of people wanted Russell H, a supervillain to win, and in HvV I think a lot of people respected Parv a lot more (including retrospectively on her s16 win). People didn't like Natalie W's under the radar game, but respect for Sandra's second win also assisted in breaking (or at least weakening) the old school fixation on the straight male hero archetype moving forward in the New School era. This was solidified in Nicaragua when the winner was straight white male but goofy and silly.
Then moving forward in the seasons onwards, the straight white male hero archetype was definitely weakened as Boston Rob's villainous win was respected (withstanding complaints of being overrated), the subsequent string of women winners was respected (Sophie, Kim, Denise), then Tyson and Tony LOVED as villainous winners and Natalie A's win was respected enough.
In the 30s, it's difficult to test whether the straight white male hero archetype had a comeback or not as most winners were straight white male hero archetypes (Mike, Adam, Ben, Nick, Chris U, Tommy) plus two being straight black male hero archetypes (Jeremy and Wendell). All I can say is Michele's win was unpopular (but the audience craved a different woman to win in Aubry) and Sarah's win was not loved despite being well-earned (I do find this strange but it's inconclusive why as people didn't care for Troyzan or Brad either and probably wanted a Cirie win at last or even a Sandra triple win). Chris U's win was controversial with audiences because of EOE and I dont think demographics was the issue at all. So what I can conclude is that the straight white male hero archetype didn't have a comeback with audiences in the 30s but it may possibly have been subconscious bias on juror's part - or more likely purely coincidental and what is actually favoured now is assertive gameplay rather than the hero archetype from any demographic and it seems men still are more likely to be more assertive with gameplay than women (the assertive women in the 30s have either fallen short of making it to the end or weren't as assertive as the male winner sitting next to them at the end - although in Chrissy's case I think auduences favoured her over Ben as she was more strategically assertive showing how far audiences have drifted from the straight white male hero archetype obsession). Tony as the next second time winner solidifies this, as fans loved his second tricksy villainous win rather than the filling of the hero cookie cutter.
Will be interesting to see how audience's attitudes shape up for the 40s.
But one last observation, just because Survivor audiences have drifted from the straight white male hero archetype that doesn't mean broader society has. Remember the number of viewers of Survivor has drastically decreased for New School seasons. The audiences who stopped watching may still well be fixated on the straight white male hero archetype, or maybe not. But Survivor audience reactions/attitudes can't be user to measure or conclude either way.
Survivor doesn't get as many views because all the characters are as stale as months old chips and it just seems to repetitive now (Respect to survivor tho for keeping the show up for so much but it's almost time for it to end)
edit: This also is for Big Brother too but Big Brother also has a problem of being to complicated.
Zohn doesn't look very white to me. He looks Egyptian or something.
I stopped reading your diatribe against “white patriarchy” during the second paragraph. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett Ethan Zohn isn't even white. I mean LOOK AT HIM
I can't believe I spent 5 minutes reading all that shite...
the gay guy got upset when he didnt get the answer he wanted. who would have guessed
this was the last season i would catch on tv 🥲
