Sexy Ethan’s Ouster
From the April 5, 2004 issue of US Weekly

It’s hard to say what’s more disappointing about Ethan Zohn’s getting voted off Survivor: All-Stars (CBS, Thursdays 8 P.M.): the fact that the single former pro soccer player, who won Survivor: Africa in 2002, was the last champion standing or that his shirtless bod is now off the air? New York City resident Zohn, 30, who admints, “I’m proud of the way I played ñ a goal of mine was to be the best of the winners,” wins Us over.
Tribemate Lex van den Berghe was your best buddy in Africa, but this time he plotted to boot you. Are you mad?
That kind of pissed me off, but Lex had to do what he had to do. I have no hard feelings ñ we talk after every show to analyze, complain and bitch.
What’s your take on “Boston” Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich hooking up on the show?
Rob will say and do anything to get on camera. But you’re eating fish, you haven’t brushed your teeth ñ I can’t even imagine what their tongues tasted like. I would rather eat my foot.
Castoff Colby Donaldson recently told Us that you and Lex auditioned for the same part he played on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I read that he asked, “Since when are they actors?” But since when is he and actor? He was on a reality show too. I am so glad I didn’t get that part. The show wanted a “Jewish Survivor,” and I’m Jewish. But they made fun of the Holocaust ñ that was a little tasteless.
