Previously on Survivor, it was down to
the final four. We're in the home

stretch, and emotions are just all over
the map.

In which city and state is Jesse a
deputy sheriff?

At the first of two final immunity
challenges, Kim Johnson's memory led her

victory, and Tom was voted out of the
tribe.

Catch.

Under a blazing sun, the final three
took part in one last endurance immunity

challenge. And Kim outlasted Ethan and
Lex, ensuring her a place in the final

two. At tribal council, she voted Lex
out of the tribe. Lex, the tribe has

spoken.

Choosing to face the jury with Ethan by
her side.

When the final votes were tallied, it
was Ethan Zahn who won the title sole

survivor.

Tonight, the final adventure into the
private lives of 16 survivors back from

Africa.

you know

Well, Survivor Africa is over, and 16
more lives have been changed forever.

Tonight, we go beyond the game and take
you deeper into the lives of those who

have played.

From the unexpected.

I can't spell Clarence. I put CB. There
I am, 46 years old, on national TV, and

can't spell.

Oh, man.

To the revealing.

We've seen quite a bit of her. You know,
more than most son -in -laws get to see

of their mother -in -laws.

To the families they came home to.

I cringe a little when one of my friends
say, oh, your son's really hot.

Every survivor has a different way of
keeping their memories of the game

Lex, he brought back a couple of baboon
tees. And Kelly? Okay, I stole

Clarence's war paint.

But our journey begins with a man who's
picked a more unusual way to remember

his tribe mates.

And Kim Johnson.

Where does that old goat at?

Come here.

Come here. Come here, Jim.

I just put their names in the cattle,
and they have some of their

characteristics.

I'm an animal person, and the animals
out in Africa was probably one of the

greatest experiences I ever had in my
life.

There I was sitting right in the middle
of Wild Kingdom.

At 45, I thought I'd done some things.

And I found out I ain't done diddly.
This just shows me that there's more to

life than just what's around the corner
at the house.

Pretty wild and rusty in my younger
days.

I had a pretty big reputation before
Survivor come, and this just added fuel

the flame.

I like all types of music. I know about
one line I ever saw.

I like music.

I like the Danes. But bluegrass, I grew
up with. I love it.

Tom has always had the ability to get
along with women. And I have never seen

him meet a woman that he can't talk to.
He's like a magnet. He's witty.

And he's a bundle of fun.

Something that makes me feel vulnerable
is spelling.

Clarence Black.

He let the team down.

I couldn't spell Clarence. I put CB.
There I am, 46 years old, on national

and can't spell.

And I started a little reading program.

Reading is the key to survival because
of that.

How y 'all doing?

Look at this here. How'd I get it? Which
one's yours?

I think he realized right then that he
could do something in our community to

really help to motivate these children
to read.

If I can help one kid be able to read
and spell, if I can help one kid do

than me, I'm glad it embarrassed me.

I'm still not the sharpest tool in the
shed, but... I'm still in the shed, and

I'm happy to be here.

I'm even more happier than I was before.

Since I've been back from Africa, the
job market's really tough.

All right, thank you.

Taking all these small jobs, and I walk
someone's dog as well for cash because

I need it.

I'll take up babysitting for people,
moms that I've met at the gym.

Get off!

You want me to get off?

This was my luxury item that I was able
to bring into Africa with me.

And this necklace has a very special
meaning to me. It was given to me by my

brother, and I wore it to tribal council
every time I went. It was kind of my

security. I always had my necklace on.

In 1998, my brother was killed in a very
tragic accident.

Lex... Look a little bit like my
brother. So every once in a while would

get this quick look of Lex and think oh
my gosh You know, it looks like him and

it was just a reminder my brother. He
really is here with me He's here making

sure I'm okay Wasn't just about trying
to win a million dollars and it

wasn't about just being on TV

To me, it was much more about the
competition between me and myself.

I have it!

Big Tom nicknames me Little Bit. He saw
me, and he thought, that little bit of a

girl is going to make it out here in
Africa.

People will keep telling me how small I
was, and it really angered me.

I was out there giving 150 % of
everything I had to say, you can count

can handle this. I'm strong.

Keep going. I took so much away from the
game, and I learned so much about

myself. There were moments of every
single day I spent out there that I

I want to go home. I don't want to play
this game anymore.

Keep going.

Camp, it's not over.

But somehow, some way, I always pushed
through that feeling.

And went on. And that's the one thing
that I...

I think I'll probably always remember
about playing the game was that it was

tough and it was hard and I wanted to
give up, and I never did.

And that's a thing that I'll always draw
from.

When you're smiling. When you're
smiling. When you're smiling. When

smiling. And the whole world smiles with
you.

One thing about dentistry that I really
love is that once I step into this role

and I'm working on a patient, I don't
think about anything else.

Didn't hurt, did it? Didn't feel a
thing, did you?

So a patient's all day, worked all day,
jump in the car, put the top down, put

some tunes on, and cruise on home.

What do you drive?

You don't want to know what I drive.
Yes, I do. No, you don't want to know

I drive. Tell me, Doc. I'm not telling
you.

A question came up about what kind of
car I drive and what kind of lifestyle I

had. I already knew that Silas was
trying to put in play, here's a guy who

doesn't need a million dollars.

Stop getting out all his valuables and
all his money. I have one of those.

What else?

What did I say?

Little boys grow up to be men with
bigger toys.

It's definitely true. I like my toys.

A Porsche. A Porsche.

I drive a Porsche.

Pardon me. You know what I mean?

I've worked my entire life to get to
this level. You know, I'm not

of that. That's the American dream.
That's what defines America.

I feel I epitomize the American dream in
my own right.

Twelve years old, I remember reading
Disney's autobiography.

And he had a little quote in it that
said, if you can dream it, you can do

And I lived that way. I dreamed I would
be on Survivor, no problem.

That experience in Africa definitely
changed me.

Look. I'm the old guy, okay, but I know
what needs to be done. Every morning,

fire, water, and food.

Of course I want to get to water,
because if I don't get up, I'm not going

get done.

Anybody else gets off their ass and do
anything? They thought they'd sign up to

go to the YMCA and roast marshmallows
and maybe win a million dollars. They're

wrong.

After being out there for, I guess, two
and a half months and not having family

there, it's changed him a lot, and he's
more willing to listen to people.

My wife said she should have sent me 20
years ago. It made me a nicer person.

He seemed genuinely sweeter, kinder.

I think he really missed me a lot, and
his actions show it.

Life is fun, and you don't know what
tomorrow is going to bring, so go for

If you shoot for the stars, if you miss,
you may land on the moon.

When we come back, Lindsay's darkest
hour. Most embarrassing moment of my

By far.

And Survivor's most colorful castaway.

I've got my Catholic schoolgirl.

Survivor has a way of making strange
bedfellows. In our next group, one old

-fashioned guy, two strong -willed
women, and someone who clearly is a

drummer. One, two, three, four.

My life before Survivor was, I had a
good life, don't get me wrong.

Spent about 10, 12 years working in the
high -tech industry, surfing with my

buddies and going out and catching a
good surf. But I never felt like I was

really cut out for that kind of ordinary
life.

Cool.

Oh, I've got some good tattoos.

Oh, I've got my devil head. Catholic
schoolgirl.

Samurai fighting a snake.

Obviously, my wife and my kids, huge
part of my life.

My very favorite tattoos are the ones my
boys drew for me. It's actually a

drawing of me. I got my boys' names,
Corbin A. Staniel. River's name is right

here. When I got back from Africa, I
actually celebrated my 10 -year wedding

anniversary. My wife and I both got
wedding anniversary tattoos, you know,

years in the dice there. My wife
actually got one as well right there.

We're freaks.

I recall coming home, seeing my wife and
kids, being just so stoked about seeing

them.

Of course, my luxury item.

These shoes have now taken a special
place in my home. They'll always hang

with my survivor stuff now.

Hey, River, do you remember these?

Yeah. Yeah, you wore these. You learned
to walk in these shoes.

I know.

Yeah. Really, the only thing that's ever
really been important to me has been my

family and my friends.

I play in a band called Lucky Dog with
friends of mine for almost 20 years. We

play here in Santa Cruz. All original
music.

We have such a good time doing it. It's
always been a huge part of my life.

Africa is nothing like the States.

I mean, you might as well have taken 16
of us and dropped us on Mars or on the

moon.

I didn't anticipate that it was really
going to be quite as dangerous as it

I thought to myself, we all know it's
going to be tough.

But they're obviously not going to put
us in harm's way.

There aren't going to be any animals
that can pose any kind of threat to us.

The drinking

water.

We show up, you know, at our drinking
water hole at the spring, expecting that

it's going to be something pretty safe.

But I came home.

Pretty sick.

The first three weeks back there, we've
been pretty much just doing a lot of

this. And my doctor found no less than
four different parasites and a couple of

different bacteria.

I have to take so many pills.

Probably like almost a dozen.

I'm still dealing with the results of
being out there in a dangerous,

very real place.

Almost the first question I'm always
asked by people is, did you have fun and

would you do it again?

And I had the time of my life. And I
would do it again in a heartbeat.

Being on Survivor, going to Kenya for
seven weeks this summer was extremely

meaningful, very important to me. This
place can just fill our spirits.

I don't know if they're spirits or what.
I just feel very protected in Africa.

Life is different now for me. I'm still
the same person.

Did your mama ever hug you? But there's
definitely been a transformation.

I think I'm calmer. I think I'm more
focused now in terms of what's really

important in life, family, friends.
Thank you. Good job. Very good job.

I wasn't the least bit surprised that
she wanted to do survival. I've seen her

passions escalate from race walking to
rollerblading to mountain climbing.

Now yoga, she gets an interest. She gets
very passionate about it.

Once I was diagnosed with thyroid
cancer, when I heard those words, you

cancer, I felt like my life was spinning
out of control.

It was soon after, very soon after, that
I decided to climb Mount Rainier.

Each time I take a trip, it's not about
reaching the summit. It's not the

destination. It's about the journey. So
it's really a metaphor for how I try to

live my life.

She always has a positive attitude, and
she's always telling me, go for your

dreams. Get them ready. Keep them down
on the ground.

Three, two, one. I never went on
Survivor for a fortune or fame. I went

I was looking for an exciting,
interesting, and challenging adventure.

This show has taught me to live my
dream, to go

for it, that life is the ultimate
adventure.

Have a dream, you have a goal, you have
a desire.

Go for it.

I was at a point in my life, I think,
where things were getting a little

monotonous. Plugging along, working out,
you know, training on my bike.

Flying back and forth to see my
boyfriend.

I hope my boyfriend doesn't wake up some
mornings and think, God, what is next

to me?

And I was ready for something, just
something big and exciting to just kind

turn my life around.

I got me a kick on my ass.

Lindsay is who she is. What you see is
what you get. That kind of sums up her

personality.

Competitive.

Emotional.

Just started to cry because I felt sad
and we're all stressed out.

Intense. Okay, emotional, competitive.

I just went back and forth from one to
another.

Barbie went down in Africa.

I'm not one to hide what I'm feeling.

I just started my period.

No wonder I have cramp.

Yeah, that was a great moment, wasn't
it?

Most embarrassing moment of my life.

By far.

Excuse me, Africa, you know, we're not
down at the mall here, you know.

Big, big mistake coming out of my big,
big mouth.

And trust me, when I'm pumped, you don't
want to fuck with me.

I think she said the F word. I said, are
you sure? She said, well, no.

She speaks her mind. She's extremely
honest and truthful and upfront with

people. Don't underestimate me, people.

She's a really fun, fun girl, and I
think that... With me because I'm fun?

That's all?

My God.

I'm fun.

You are sometimes.

Give me a kiss.

I'm very sensitive.

Almost too sensitive sometimes.

The show just boosted me up in maturity
a little bit more.

Let's go in. Thank you. It wasn't
positive seeing some of the ways I

situations. Lindsay, have you made any
mistakes so far? I'm a walking mistake.

I think I grew a lot from it. Lindsay,
would you go boil some water for us,

please?

What you saw in Survivor was me, the
real deal.

Just go!

Just come around the corner!

You know, Frank Garrison is not going to
change.

And either you like me or you don't like
me, it really doesn't weigh heavily on

my mind. You've got to make two huge S's
here on each side. I was worried that

Frank would come back a different
person, that it would really affect him

change him dramatically.

I can't help it, these little liberal
special interest groups that the media

give open market to.

But Frank is Frank, and three days after
his back, I knew he was.

The same man that he was when he left.
We're going, bud. We're going. Let's go

home, guys.

Frank can be the most charming, sweet,
and lovable person and the biggest jerk

in the next breath.

Then let's just get moving along.

Jocelyn Rose up in Adam. Let's go.

All right. Come on, guys.

Frank, we just hit the snooze button.

My life philosophy in general is to get
up early in the morning.

Okay, can I have a kiss?

I love you.

Kiss your wife and children.

See you later, alligator.

Go to work, give the man 100%. He gives
you a little bit back and come

immediately home and spend time with the
family.

He's a very loving father.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

And a very loving husband.

We found out I was pregnant the day
before we got the call that he was

going to Africa.

And when Frank left, there was something
missing in the whole family dynamic.

What was missing was his enthusiasm for
life and his zest for everything that he

does.

Very good.

See how nice and straight that went?

When I think of my dad, I think of
hugging.

I think of sharing.

I think of being a leader.

Things that were important to me prior
to Survivor are the same things that are

important to me now, providing my family
with the basics of food, shelter, and

security, but most importantly, love.

Coming up, we go hot tubbing with Mama
Kim and mudslinging with just about

everybody.

Clarence, I just didn't like it more
than Mark.

Welcome back.

Well, at the end of every tribal
council, the person voted out has to

immediately. Once the tribe has spoken,
the departing survivor can't. So, we

decided to give them a chance for a
parting shot.

Clarence Black.

Oh, Clarence.

Loves to talk about himself.

Like him a lot. He's my favorite.

I just didn't like him or snort.

Kelly Goldsmith.

Off with her head!

Cut it right off. Lex, eccentric.

Lex is like a 16 -year -old living in a
40 -year -old's body. Lindsay Richter. A

bit of a whiner. Emotional.

Emotional. Emotional.

You're sweet. You were in over your
head, though, sweetie.

Okay.

Tom. A dirty old pervert that I love.

Good old country boy.

It's a sickness.

It's a sickness.

Silas Gazer. That smile could knock your
socks off.

You love yourself.

Ethan's on.

Quiet.

Super sweet guy.

Shy.

Mr.

Lovable. Great hair.

Frank. Frankie.

Hardcore. Green beret.

Trying to be sensitive here.

Frank and his deer antlers.

Brandon.

In a different world. Oh, good job,
Frank.

Jesse, what a woman. Me?

Hot.

Kim Johnson.

Wait a minute, let me think on this.
Dear God, I'd be clever.

Honest. Like my mom.

I got along with her great.

There's nothing more important to me in
my life than my family.

I've got three kids, all married, three
grandchildren, one on the way.

It doesn't get much better than that.

My oldest child is Wendy.

Wendy and her family only live four
miles from me.

Our son, Teddy, just got married two
weeks after I got home from Africa.

My middle child, Carrie, just had the
most beautiful baby boy.

We spend as much time as we can with
them where they live in Durango,

Growing up was tough.

It was really just my mom and myself. I
was really more the mom. We had a lot of

problems health -wise, money -wise,
every -wise. I never really had a warm

loving relationship until my husband.

Ted and I met when we were in college.

He's been my best friend ever since.

Kim was 19 when we got married, the way
she grew up.

It gave her the resolve to really put
her all into making everything work.

We really help keep each other young.

I probably do look like a grandmother,
but I don't think most of the time I act

like a grandmother.

When she gets her mind made up on
something, there's just no stopping her.

At my age, which is 57, my life is
pretty much set. I'm not going to go out

the street and hang out with a guy full
of tattoos and say, hey, what's your

life like?

It was so cool to be able to spend time
with people different from me. As far as

the thong thing goes... Whoa, man!

I didn't go there with the idea of
taking off my pants. Women in her thong

are... We had people over in our
apartment, and then they showed scenes

next week. All of a sudden, the thong
was out there, and the place went crazy.

Anything to get this challenge. We've
seen quite a bit of it. More than most

-in -laws get to see of their mother -in
-law. So that's been a big plus, too.

And the whole town.

Yeah, and all our friends.

I came away from this experience with a
reaffirmation of my ability

to do what I want to do when I want to
do it.

It's probably the coolest thing I've
ever done.

Every day, I like to basically start
with a devotion.

For God so loved the world that he gave
his only son.

I focus on the day ahead, and, you know,
I read a chapter from the Bible a day,

and it just kind of gets, you know, my
priorities straight and that sort of

thing.

Coming from Tennessee to Los Angeles was
a huge move.

I'm trying to make it as an actor, and I
try to read a script a day and

bartending to make ends meet. It's a dog
-eat -dog world out there.

This is the green machine.

But, man, I absolutely love it here. The
beach, man.

Temperature's perfect. And welcome to
sunny California.

The sun's shining bright. I mean, it's
just absolutely amazing.

You ready to rock?

You know, depending on the day, I try to
knock in a good day of surfing with

that carpe diem mentality.

Survivor helped me in the fact that
there's the unpredictability about it,

know? Silas, Teresa, Frank, you guys are
now members of Braun.

The switch meant the game for me.

Smoke. I never saw that coming.

Right when I got kicked off, I couldn't
sleep for a week.

Just now, I mean, I'm finally starting
to forget and relax and just, you know,

really come down from it.

You know, it's funny. When you're in
Africa, it's a place to, like, really

about life and think about the
importance of life and, like, what we

If we were going to die tomorrow, it's
relationships.

And the relationship that I have with
God and my family and friends and loved

ones, man, I mean, to me, that's the
most important thing in life.

I love proving people wrong.

I think that's my thing.

Men that say that women can't do the
same thing that men can do, well, guess

what?

I love proving men wrong.

The reason why I love police work is
because it's a job where you can do

something about society.

My grandpa was a cop in Puerto Rico,
retired 25 years.

I've heard all the stories.

I just fell in love with it. Now I'm
working for the sheriff's department,

love it.

She's a good girl. Good cop.

Behind the cop, I am probably the
coolest chick you'll ever know. No, no,

I'm a big kid at heart.

I like to do spontaneous things.

A boxer is a good stress reliever. Your
only concentration is on trying to get

that person and try to hit them and
knock them out.

It's fun.

My sister was the one that made me the
survivor.

She's a tough girl.

Survivor in Africa was so much tougher
than I thought it would be.

I never expected the water conditions to
be so bad.

Throwing up when you have so little
hydration to go around, it's bad for

it's bad for us.

Jesse, the tribe has spoken.

When I was hooded off and I thought,
wow, I just disappointed my sister.

Once the show was over, I actually
stayed an extra month in Africa and

out in a community project, building a
lodge, working with the Maasai.

Working with them was excellent.

I mean, it was such a great experience.

And so I don't think I'll ever, ever,
ever forget that.

Brandon was the hottest, sexiest,
smartest guy on Survivor.

I know he didn't look like it. Brandon
was the bomb.

I may have my outlandish moment, but

I was secure enough to be on...

A hit show proclaiming that I was gay
and it didn't bother me if everybody

it. Are you gay?

Uh -huh, I am.

They put me with people that they
suspected would dislike me for that very

reason. Brandon would be the last person
on earth I would pick. You know what? I

got along with them all very well.

I'm not a very good bartender.

And when I first started, I used to tell
people, you didn't come because you

thought I'd make a good drink.

I always look good.

Branding skills as a bartender sometimes
leave a lot to be desired.

What he serves best is the attitude.

What do you want?

A drink.

I work in a leather bar. Big burly guys
and I'm not that.

I'm just a little almost used to be
chicken kind of guy.

I have never gone camping.

The first time I ever slept in a camping
situation was my first night in Africa

under those stars.

Oh my goodness.

It made me realize that I really can do
anything if I set my mind to it. Come

on, dude, let's go!

Brennan always said the reason he wanted
to be on Survivor was because there was

no one on TV that he felt portrayed him.

I think he wanted to show America a gay
man in their middle 20s who's getting

out on his own and finding his way and
coming to grow as a person.

To Brandon.

The Walt Whitman School is for gay and
lesbian teenagers who have been

in their schools.

and abused how did the other tribe
members feel about you being homosexual

just a normal gay person some of those
kids might see me and maybe take a

inspiration and that makes me feel very
good just because i'm gay don't assume

certain things about me you just never
know what kind of person you're dealing

with until you get to know them that's
really all i want to say when we come

back she's hard driving yet soft are you
calling me schizophrenic And later, the

softer side of the hard -driving guy won
it all. I'm in touch with my feminine

side.

Her fellow survivors called her the
smartest girl out there.

She says she's just a homebody with a
wild streak, learning to live in L .A.

From the beginning, I was outmanned by
everybody.

I thought I was going to pass out. I
felt like I was the worst athlete there.

I thought I was definitely the first
person voted off. But the snake pit that

Survivor. We cut Kelly off tonight. We
take her out. Are you sure? I'm sure.

Made me uniquely prepared to live in Los
Angeles.

My days usually begin with a workout.

Okay, guys. What do all good
Californians do?

Go to the gym.

Three, two, one.

All right.

All right.

Oh, my gosh.

By day, I edit. I'm a behavioral
research analyst.

What I do is very, very detail
-oriented. I edit books. I mean, it's

to me. I love academics. I love
research.

Thank you. But part of me is a big
homebody. Crocheting. It's my weird

introverted habit.

I made this myself, and it's big.

It's really actually, if you look at it,
it's not straight, but... Don't tell

anybody. I usually actually make
pillows.

Oh, I have one of those too.

Pillows are my favorite. Well, I can't
reach it because it's on the top shelf.

But trust me that I have a pillow. I
really, I can't sit still.

But then there's this other side of me.

I hop in my car, drive way too fast.

I love to cut loose. I love to, you
know, be wild. And then, you know, I

back. I love to crochet.

Are you calling me schizophrenic?

I love baking cookies.

The secret is that I'm just a big dork
at heart.

It's just who I am.

But yeah, that's me.

Before I left for Survivor, I was
working a lot.

My mom, who's my best friend, and she
was even saying, Teresa, I'm telling

you're not spending enough time with
your children.

You're working too much.

Teresa doesn't want to be a real estate
agent. She wants to be the best real

estate agent because that's just the way
she is.

She's basically a corporation.

She was gone a long time, 48 days, with
no communication.

It was a long time. I obviously missed
her, and the kids missed her.

I told my husband, Brian, when I left,
and the way I looked at it was, I'm not

going on a summer vacation to Africa.
I'm not going on a safari.

I'm going on a business trip.

The objective of the business trip was
to go out there and be the last one

standing of 16 people.

It's just mind over matter. It's just a
matter of saying, I'm going to stand up

here and I'm going to be the last one,
no matter what.

I get really scared every night because
I'm afraid my mom could get voted off

that night and she could lose the
challenge.

Six hours, 20 seconds.

You, my dear, get this. Thank you.
Congratulations.

I kept thinking about my children. I
kept thinking about Tyler and Ellie.

And I kept thinking about watching the
show with them and them seeing their

one of the oldest ones, and just
thinking how proud they would be.

When I was out in Africa,

I had so much time to think about family
and what's really, really important.

I'm trying to make it a mental list in
my mind of things I wanted to change

I got back home.

Reading to the kids more, saying their
prayers with them at night, saying the

blessing at the dinner table every
night, giving Brian more back rubs.

I might regret saying that.

When I was watching her plane to come
in, she was one of the last ones to get

off. And then when she got off, I was
the first one to run up there and hug

It felt great.

As opposed to me just being a mom and a
good friend, hopefully they'll see me as

a role model and say, hey, mom, that's
pretty cool.

I'm a city kid. I've grown up in the
city. The city is where I'm from.

For survival, I was a financial
consultant.

Clance was my stockbroker. How you
doing, Mr. Grant? So we made some

that we were able to turn a profit and
own the business.

I was, I guess, in that rat race. It's
like everybody else, nine to five job.

It just wasn't for me.

In my first trip out of the country, I'm
seeing animals and I'm seeing a way of

life that I can't even conceive of. I
can still see them too. I don't want to

move. It was just an awesome experience.

And the food was good, too.

When I see a gazelle now, I think, like,
man, you're a good piece of meat.

Notice how everything eventually came
back to food.

When they said, I think Clarence took
two cherries, the first thought was,

Clarence took two cherries.

I want to be a food critic.

I'm going to be called the man's man's
food critic. All right, we got ourselves

some barbecue all up in here.

My man doing it up. Got some mac and
cheese, greens.

That's a delicacy there, baby.

Just one thing being on Survivor's
taught me is be yourself.

I came back feeling like, wow, man, I've
got to come up with some new goals.

It made me want to go see more of these
exotic places that are out there and not

just be a city dweller.

My life as a single mom, it's not a
chore, it's not a duty, it's a way of

for me.

I get ready for work. I always wear
makeup. It makes me feel like I'm ready

the day.

That's it.

Just enjoying a little bit of downtime
before going off to the post office and

another hectic day.

Good morning.

Then I wake my son up. The whole time we
were over in Africa, we couldn't make

any contact with our family.

I'm back.

I wanted to just say, I'm okay, Alex. I
didn't get eaten up by a lion.

My home's great.

I love my home.

It's bright, it's fun, it's happy.

I'm bright and fun and happy.

You feel like you're inside a box of
colors, and when you go into another

you just feel like you're in a regular
box of brown or white.

I'm real good at my job. I'm real good
at carrying mail.

The audience, they didn't get to know
me. I did not open the can for me.

Open to camp for her. To be an incident.

That's a lie.

Clarence, that is not.

Diane. He lied.

He knows you lied.

I think I'm a little more sensitive than
I was before I left.

I don't take anything for granted
anymore.

I love you, baby.

Good night, Mom. I love you.

Ahead on Survivor, back from Africa.

You don't have to be an evil,
backstabbing person to do well in this

What it took to win.

In the end, it was the professional
soccer player and coach from Lexington,

Massachusetts, who was the sole
survivor.

He won it with his strength and smart,
but mostly by sticking to his

Before he left for Africa, I said to
him, Ethan.

It's not that important that you come
home with a million dollars, but you

what you have to come home with. You
have to come home with your integrity.

I said to myself, like, listen, I'm not
going to change who I am as a person to

be on this show. I want to come back to
my dignity and self -respect.

When I come home to Lexington, it's
where I grew up, and I usually make a

entrance.

You got my hair back there.

I like that. And usually I go on and,
you know, see my brother, and he's a

chiropractor. Hi.

Doing okay?

Yeah, yeah. He gives me a little
adjustment, straighten me out a bit.

stop, I see my mom in her little
knitting store.

Hi, Mommy.

I think he's appealing to women. I mean,
I cringe a little when one of my

friends say, oh, your son's really hot.

I've always liked women. Maybe because I
was brought up by my mom, I was

sensitive, you know, the whole sensitive
guy thing. I'm in touch with my

feminine side.

Maybe it's because I doted on him so
much after his father died.

The biggest tragedy in his life was when
his father died, and he was just 14

years old.

He got diagnosed with colon cancer, and
I think from the time he was diagnosed

to when he passed away, it was maybe a
year.

No matter where Ethan went in the
evening, he knew he had to be home about

30, 11 o 'clock to help get his father
up the stairs.

He could be...

having the best time of his life, but he
was home come 10 .30, 11 o 'clock.

If my husband woke up in the middle of
the night and I couldn't lift him or

him where he needed to go, he'd say,
okay, Dad, I'm going to count to three,

your arms around my neck, and I'll lift
you.

And that's what would happen time and
time again.

Having my father pass away and kind of
me overcoming that, you know, I could

have definitely...

You know, my first lesson in survival, I
guess, and being a survivor, because I

could have easily, you know, gone the
whole drug route, drop out of school,

know, be depressed my whole life.

I feel there was a change in him after
that, a sense of intensity that I didn't

see before.

I wanted to push forward and try to
succeed and be the best I could possibly

at everything that I've done.

Watch, you'll get on and beat a throat.

Let's go, Blue!

You know, I never thought in a million
years that I'd be playing professional

soccer. It was always a dream of mine.

Easy, easy, easy!

I played for the United States Maccabee
team.

And I went to Africa, I went to
Zimbabwe, and I was one of two white

people in the entire league.

Walking into a stadium with 50 ,000
people is just uplifting.

Every time I step on the field, every
time I put my cleats on, I just get that

energy, that buzz that you get when
you're doing something you love.

There it is!

Survivor is a brilliant game.

You're hungry all the time, you're tired
all the time, you're dirty all the

time, you're thirsty all the time, and
then you have to make friends with

people, you have to perform in
challenges.

You have to perform in mental
challenges.

You know, you got to watch your back,
but you don't have to be an evil,

backstabbing person to do well in this
game. You can be a nice, honest, genuine

person and become the ultimate survivor.

Up next, a look ahead to the remote
Pacific Island where 16 new survivors

face the challenge of a lifetime.

Soon, 16 new strangers will be abandoned
in the middle of the most remote place

on Earth, the Marquesas, part of
Tahiti's mystical islands in the South

Thousands of miles from the nearest
continent, it is a lush and tropical

environment and home to some of the most
dangerous sea life in the world. And

for the first time, these survivors will
be given no rations whatsoever.

It is the ultimate challenge.

Outwit, outplay, outlaugh until only one
remains and emerges as the sole

survivor.

That's it for tonight. I'm Jeff Probst.
Thanks for joining us. And we'll see you

next month for Survivor, our cases.
