About this episode

Ethan returned on the hit CBS show "Survivor: Winners at War" (airing Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS), only to be voted out in the third episode. Since his first "Survivor" win, Ethan has battled and beat cancer TWICE, and became a world-renowned motivational speaker, author and humanitarian. This former soccer pro made his way back on the hit CBS reality show for the 20th Anniversary edition of the groundbreaking competition series. This season's two - hour premiere of "Survivor: Winners at War" drew 6.7 million total viewers. This season united the most memorable, heroic, and celebrated champions from the past two decades in the biggest battle in the show's history, as the series' best strategists of all time fight to earn the title of Sole Survivor again with an increased prize of $2 million - the largest jackpot in reality show history.   In 2001, Ethan won $1,000,000 on CBS's third season of "Survivor: Africa." Winning was the springboard to his entrepreneurship, social purpose and advocacy. Making true to a promise he made at the Final Tribal Council, Ethan used his winnings to found "Grassroot Soccer," an adolescent health organization that leverages the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize at-risk youth in developing countries to overcome their greatest health challenges, live healthier, more productive lives, and be agents for change in their communities.   In the years after his win, Ethan's story went from SURVIVOR WINNER to CANCER SURVIVOR. In 2009, he was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called CD20+ Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing several stem cell treatments and chemotherapy, he went into remission, only for his cancer to return. For a second time, Ethan battled the cancer and won, thanks to another stem-cell transplant and an experimental drug - he's been living cancer-free since 2012. Throughout his battle with cancer, Ethan served as a National Ambassador for Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), and has since harnessed his industry connections in television to create SURVIVOR SU2C, through which donations are made to cancer research through "Survivor".
