Interview with Ethan
From Survivor Sucks - posted by Rose
Q: Lex said it was all about business… what’s your impression now of Lex as a businessman?
EZ: Well, I definitely listened to what he had to say, I didn’t necessarily agree with what he had to say! He said it was all about business, friendship doesn’t come into play, then he takes me aside “as a friend” to tell me he’s voting me off… you can’t have your cake and eat it too, it’s gotta be one way or the other, and that kinda frustrated me a little. But every winner had a target on their back, and to last as long as I did and last longer than any other winner, I was quite proud of that.
Q: It looks like the MogoMogo tribe is an a heap of trouble now!
EZ: Yeah, that’s the other thing… they vote off Richard and Colby and I, and you’re left with Lex and 3 women! If they’ve got any more team challenges, they’re gonna struggle against the other tribe.
Q: You had a winning strategy in Africa, how do you compare it with your All Star strategy, which seemed more passive and laid back?
EZ: I don’t know if I was laid back. I felt on the outs the whole time, so I had to wait and see what was going on and play off other people’s mistakes. In Africa, I was in the majority the whole time. Here, my back was up against the wall and I was struggling every day. I was playing day by day.
Q: Watching the show, it seems like the physical challenges are more difficult this time around, and you certainly took your share of falls!
EZ: Um no, not so much. I think Africa was rougher. It was the harshest environment, the challenges were tough… but you know, that’s part of the game. I love the challenges, a love pushing my body to the max! It’s the mental side of everything that throws me for a loop!
Q: So it’s been revealed that you’re quite the Survivor “ladies’ man”!
EZ: (laughs) I’m actually pitching a new show, “Who Wants to Marry a Nice Jewish Millionaire?” So to put all the rumors to rest, I’m taking applications right now!
Q: TV Guide says you’ve dated Jenna Lewis and Amber and you’re now in a relationship with Jenna Morasca, is that true?
EZ: You know, you can’t believe everything you read in the tabloids! (laughs) But I am surrounded by people in my life that I’m very happy with.
Q: What do you think about your MogoMogo teammates’ chances in the upcoming merge?
EZ: If there is a merge, I’d like to see Lex go far, to tell you the truth. You know, he’s a good buddy of mine, I respect the way he plays, it’s different, but he plays hard, and I’d like to see him go far in the game.
Q: What about Kathy?
EZ: Kathy and I had a good relationship, and she said she wanted to keep me on but couldn’t take the risk, and I expected that. If she does well, I wouldn’t be upset with that.
Q: If there’s ever another chance to do Survivor All Stars again, would you do it?
EZ: I might take maybe 10 minutes to think about it this time, but then I’d be ready to go. I’d do it again!
Q: thanks, etc.
