Strategic Assessment
Ethan played the quintessential early-era social game, anchoring the tight Boran Alliance with Lex and Tom while never receiving a single vote against him across 10 tribal councils. His 100% voting accuracy reflects total control of his position in the game without appearing threatening. He let Lex absorb the strategic target and Tom absorb the physical threat label, winning through likability, quiet influence, and an unimpeachable social reputation that earned him a decisive 5-2 jury victory over Kim Johnson.
Signature Move
Orchestrated the first-ever intentional tribal immunity challenge throw in Survivor history, deliberately losing to eliminate Silas Gaither after the tribe swap placed him with old Samburu members Frank and Teresa, flipping the power dynamic.
