Looks like Doug..LOL

He does have a smug expression.. I'll reserve judgement on him.

Well, this was quite a surprise!!!

Go to People.com and in the search, type in Matthew von Ertfelda. You will find out that he is on the list of 50 most available bachelors for 2002. Ethan Zohn was on there, too!

Here's a picture I cut and pasted from another site that gives another view of this guy.

Alaginger, I don't know why, but he does NOTHING for me. And he still strikes me as gay, not that there is anything wrong with that at all. I'm just kind of curious, especially now since someone somewhere pointed out that he was the only young male not to voice an opinion about the women in episode 1 (at least that we were shown). He seems like a complex man. From his bio, he is obviously intelligent.

Just wondering how he could be one of People's Most Eligible Bachelors. Was it as a result of being on Survivor, or was he known for something else to get their attention?
I have only seen Sex and the City once, but I would think straight guys would watch it. It seemed to have a lot of women and sexual escapades. I remember thinking it was something that would appeal to a man more than a woman. I found it kind of sleazy, especially in this day of STD's, AIDS, etc. It seems too promiscuous - to me. But then, I didn't like Seinfeld because of all the sex the characters had with new partners every other episode!

Emt - If you watch his audition tape (which CBS has posted at their website) he mentions in the tape that he was in People - so he was picked for People before he even applied to Survivor.

I have to agree with Herm - he does nothing for me. I don't think there is anything wrong with him, nor is there anything that particularily attracts me either.

I have read some disses toward his audition tape, saying he was bragging. However I think an audition is appropriate time to brag - you have to let the people know about you. So, I don't see in problems there.

(It was boring, but he clearly has done tons with his life. And, if he has managed to do all these things he knows how to get things done and how to work with a variety of people - so, I think he could go far.)

Maybe he will get less boring with time.

Gay or straight, I just hope I like him because I have a feeling he will go far.
It doesn't matter which reality show it is, there is always someone who lasts until the very end that I don't like, ack.

Came here to read about this guy, and not surprised to see that like me others thought he was gay. The way he asked one of the girls if she had any conditioner (or something like that) sounded extremely effeminate. NTTAWWI.

I guess the mystery of Matt being gay has been solved.
I was just over at Blows, and there is a poster there (Marcopolo) who subscribes to the Yahoo Platinum Suvivor ~behind the scenes~
He just posted the episode 7 releases.

When they were all in the shelter that night swapping sex and life stories, Matt revealed that he had just broken up with his BOYFRIEND right before he left for the Amazon.

The only reason I bring this up is because now that we know that he has revealed this to the rest, how might it play into his position within tribe dynamics? A good spoiler never lets any stone unturned!

The episode 7 behind the scenes also revealed some interesing points regarding Jenna, I will post in her profile about them.

Ah-ha! So we were right! Yipee!

I guess that explains showing him a few episodes ago when Roger was making his homophobic remarks.

Wasn't it Matt who was trying to cut in on Shawna and Alex by putting his head on her abdomen? Now I know gay men can do that but wonder at the motives.

Kaili

Maybe he is just affectionate? Just wanted his head rubbed? Some warmth from a friendly person? I don't know- he did state last week that he wasn't interested in her sexually (not in those exact words- but just that he wasn't trying to get on her).

I see him as a quiet, dark horse. I am sure HE was glad to see Roger go! He has had an intriguing life and experiences. He always looks a little "creepy" to me, however. Worth watching to see how he will respond.

Yep, I agree Kaili, I was thinking the same thing too at the time. I suspected that Roger suspected that he was gay, and that was the reason for the debate in the first place.
I also noticed when Matt and Rob were having that conversation by the river regarding Alex and Shawna last week, and Matt said, well, you KNOW I'M not attracted to her...(I would have to check my tape for the exact words, but it was something along those lines)
I have had male gays friends in the past, they are affectionate toward females, they are very huggy and kissy, its common.

I don't know how this could possibly factor into his position in the tribe, but its always good to know these little behind the scenes things.
Also, Alex has already stated that he has no problem with gay men, its their business, maybe, there will be another shift in alliances.

One other thing, in Roger's Early Show interview this morning, he said that after he was voted off, before he left the TC, he had WORDS with Alex and Rob!! And, that this wasn't shown! Why didn't have have "words" with Matt too? Matt was supposed to be in the men's alliance.........

Hermione, you're not the only one whose gaydar goes off on this dude. And it's not because he defends gay folk (tons of straight folk have the confidence to do that nowadays) but because of his all-around vibe.

So far, his nipples have been more mesermizing than his personality. They're HUGE!

I like Matthew. He's a quirky oddball and I like that. Can't say I ever noticed his nipples though. Thanks, now I have something to look forward to in life!

I just looked at Blows, and they've edited Matt's comment - he apparently actually said GIRL friend...

Didn't the preview lead us to think Matthew goes beserk next week? Wonder what that is all about? I didn't pick up the gay thing at all, just thought he was quiet.

Kaili

I think it's blown out of proportion- he probably gets stressed about votes and alliances or something...and chooses to think while sharpening knives- remember on some other Survivor there was someone who would go off alone to have space and think and stuff and it was taken as being a bad thing? I think it was Survivor, unless it was someone on one of the BB seasons who would hang out alone now and then... I can't remember right now.

He cleans the fish and they used the knives to build the shelter. He wants sharp knives. He is a loner, likes to keep busy and has chosen to sharpen them.

His physical appearance is creepy so pair that with the sharpening and you have a few random comments. This means nothing. He is a target anyway because of his ability to win IC.

I definately think he is gay. There is a poster here who acuses me of screaming GAY to those that are not. I am here to say I ignore her and stand by my convictions.

Well, I did think Deena was gay. Honest mistake.

Frank from TS is gay and in a serious, big, huge closet. I will NEVER be talked out of this. So many straight people think that if you are married you cannot possibly be gay. {they live with Peter Pan and Wendy}

Frank from Africa was NOT. In fact he was an a$$hole.

<snork> You are probably right on this one. Just this one. Don't forget Laurence and the mom on Six Feet Under. Not a shred of proof on Frank.

I never said the mom on Six Feet Under was gay! I thought it looked like she would have an affair with Kathy Bates character. That is different.

There is no proof for a closeted gay man. I do not expect to ever see anything about it. Just a hunch.

LOL you two!!

Matthew is gay, I agree. I like him more because he IS gay.
I loved John Caroll from S4. I loved the Snidley Whiplash act he had going on. I loved Brenden, too, what an entertaining character!

(Btw, I thought Deena was gay too at first)

FYI, for those women who have never had a gay friend, it is common for some gay men to have female friends who pose as girlfriends because they choose to stay in the closet, sometimes even marry. It happens. There is nothing wrong with it if the woman knows about it and consents to it. Different strokes for different folks
