Survivor Winners at War: Who will return from the Edge of Extinction at the merge?

Ethan Zohn

If there’s one player being propped up by production to rationalize the repeated visits to the Edge of Extinction in 40-minute episodes, it’s Ethan Zohn. His story of perseverance through the darkness is admirable, and his ability to never give up despite his hardships makes him a rootable figure.

Can he beat out this field of challengers in a series of dextrous, tactile obstacles? Only time will tell. Maybe he’ll even use one of his fire tokens to buy an advantage.

Odds he wins the Edge of Extinction Challenge: 5%. He’s well-rounded enough of a competitor, but there are absolute challenge beasts ahead of him. This is a very individual challenge, and he won’t be able to rely on Parvati guiding him through to complete this series of obstacles

Odds he thrives if he returns: 40%. Despite not being a driven strategic force, Ethan is an immeasurably sociable player that has proven to be loyal. If he comes back, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to make his way into a swing vote position as he plays a very trustworthy game.

It wouldn’t be prudent for a winning game, and there’s just as much a chance (if not more) he ends right back on the Edge of Extinction due to not finding the right fit.
