merlot: Is Jerri as mean & lazy as she seems on the show?
Ethan: I can only answer about what went on during the show, and yes, she is that lazy. I felt she was more concerned about how she appeared on the show and how she looked on TV than being concerned about playing SURVIVOR.

Mogo_lover: Ethan, you complained that Jerri gave up after that severe storm. Was she doing enough work around the camp prior to that?
Ethan: No, she was not doing much work around the camp. I questioned her motivation when she was ready to give up after the rainstorm. She actually said she wanted to give up, this wasn't worth it, I quit. And to me, that's not a true Survivor.

Mogo_lover: Ethan, what was being around Rupert like? He seems a bit overbearing, yet a hard worker.
Ethan: I definitely respected Rupert's work ethic. However, he did like to have control in many of the decisions we were supposed to make as a tribe, like building a shelter, building a raft and finding food.

kitkat: Colby said he had to shave his head because of sand mites. Did you have any trouble with bugs in your hair (which I love)?
Ethan: Yeah, too many bugs. I love the bugs. That's what makes my hair so curly.

kitkat: Is there anyone you could have had on your tribe that would have helped you go further in the game?
Ethan: I think if Tina was not voted off, I think we could have made a good team, as well as Jenna Morasca. I was friendly with both and trusted both as people and players.

Jen: Hi Ethan! I'm curious about whether you and Colby became good friends at all?
Ethan: Colby and I are good friends. After we were booted off, we went surfing.

lindarooni: You have always been a great player, Ethan. Who do you wish you had aligned with this time out?
Ethan: I would have liked my alliance with Lex and Kathy to be more solid. I think all three of us are very smart, strong players and could have helped each other advance in the game.

ALLSTARSFan: Ethan, after you and Lex did so well at archery in Africa, why did you let Jerri anywhere near the bow and arrow?
Ethan: (Laughs) I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. I was hoping she would shoot herself in the foot.

ALLSTARSFan: Ethan, you're such a gentleman. But when you were voted off, why did you hug everyone except Shii Ann? Did we miss something?
Ethan: I hugged everyone; they just didn't show that.

ALLSTARSFan: Ethan, it was so hard for your fans to see you lose the Challenge last week. Why didn't you use the machete to cut the ropes when you couldn't untie the knots?
Ethan: We weren't allowed to. Believe me, if I could have used the machete to chop the rope, I would have.

ALLSTARSFan: Ethan, it looked like you took a really hard hit on the head during the balance beam Challenge. How bad was the injury?
Ethan: It wasn't bad. I'm a goalie: I'm used to throwing my body on the ground. Plus the side had a little bit of padding on it.

ALLSTARSFan: Did you read Rob M's rude, despicable comments about you in Entertainment Weekly? Did you know he was so jealous of you?
Ethan: It's all gossip, but he's just a poor sport. He's just trying to look cool, which obviously didn't work.

ALLSTARSFan: Was it Shii Ann`s decision to beg Jenna for some rice? Or did you plan that as a tribe?
Ethan: That was planned as a tribe. We truly had very little rice left, and it can't hurt to try to get more. And it worked.

EZontheEyes: Hey Ethan! I have a bet riding on this one. Are you a Red Sox or a Yankees fan? Thanks!
Ethan: Red Sox, definitely. I lived in Boston for 26 years.

Philly: My friends and I are going to try our own mini version of SURVIVOR this summer for a week. Any advice?
Ethan: Don't do it! Make sure Sizzler is close by.

timmy: Ethan, now that you're watching the show on TV, what surprises you the most?
Ethan: I was surprised how different Mogo Mogo was from Chapera. That's the good thing about having Big Tom on your tribe.

ALLSTARSFan: Jenna Lewis seemed to have some kind of vendetta against you. Do you think it was personal for her?
Ethan: Yes, I think it was personal. She just wanted some revenge, and to have a strategy to just vote the winners off is silly. And it's not really a strategy; it's an easy way out. I was surprised, considering how we worked with each other as a team to get each other through "Eco-Challenge."

Mogo_lover: Hey, Ethan! Back at Saboga, did you try to talk Rupert out of building a cellar in your shelter? How bad was it that night? Who in your tribe thought the producers would send help?
Ethan: No, I did not try to talk him out of it. I tried to keep my mouth shut, hoping someone else would comment about it, and therefore ruffle some feathers with Rupert. I think it worked with Jerri. It was a stupid idea to build a bomb shelter in the beach, in front of a hill. It happened to be my 30th birthday, and it will be a birthday I will never forget, because it was probably one of the worst nights of my life. And I think Jerri mentioned that this was crazy, somebody will help us. I thought, "This is SURVIVOR, not summer camp. This is not 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.'"

SURVIVOR Host: I am sorry to say that our hour with Ethan is up. Ethan, thanks so much for being here to chat with us today. Do you have any final comments for the SURVIVOR fans?
Ethan: Thanks to everyone for watching, and for supporting my efforts with Grassroot Soccer.
