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.

I still remember when Ethan and lex went to that place with goats and he played with the kids

[gavinwarman]

Ethan is a real-life legend and inspiration

[showoutjay]

Ethan's plan of throwing the challenge to vote off someone is the first time it happened successfully.

[rsoc]

Ethan is such a likable winner I hope he goes far on 40

[WhtAbtBob]

Ethan was my favorite for the season. He also spoke at my college for freshman orientation and was really inspiring.

[shannonceleste]

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

[zeaferjones]

I like how this guy teamed up with Parvati and Parvati was trying to teach him how to lie.

[AllRequired]

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.

Ethan was my winner pick for this season, happy to see him win, excited to see how he adapts to a modern season.

[fatalbert]

Ethan is definitely my favorite winner, he’s just so likeable.

[noisysea]

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!

[Rinoaeris]

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.

[byronleano]

I searched for this when RHAP mentioned you. :) Love your video, brought back a lot of memories of this season. Ethan for the win!

[SandeProHiQu]

Damn. He would've had the first perfect win if he didn't answer those two jury questions poorly.

[kimclaussen]

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.)

[brendolbreadwar]

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

[tryingtolearn]

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

[ethannc]

so this is the man i was named after. blessed🙌🏻

[rashidibrahem]

And right now he is doing great at Season 40, very likeable person
