Okay, here goes.
1.The most strategic move I have made would have to be when I had decided (and Neleh at the same time it seems) at the final six that keeping you and and Yul around too much longer would be very detrimental to us reaching the final two. My thought process was that you and Yul would want an all male final two, in fact, Yul did mention something to that effect and I did not want to be in a position to vote out Neleh, who had been my final two ally from nearly day one. So if we sent you and then Yul home, then that left Rob and Syd and while both are very good players in their own right, they were a step below you and Yul, and it cleared the way more for Neleh and I to get to where we are now.
2. The answer to this one ties directly to my answer to the first question. It may not have been fair to keep someone seen as less deserving over one or even two that deserved it more, but it did clear the way for us to get further in the game. You and Yul are two very good players and to keep you two around too much longer would not have been very good for Neleh and I to stick around much longer. I also thought that you two perhaps had a deal together, and while I have no proof of this, and if I am wrong, I am wrong, but the chance could not be taken.
3. Out of all the jurors, there are several who I think would do well on the real life Survivor. You and Rob come to mind, as well as Brad, but I would have to say I would have to go with Yul. He always seemed to be thinking one step ahead of the rest of us, and was always plotting on what was best for him and the rest of his alliance, and as far as I know, he never betrayed the alliance of five that we were part of. So throw loyalty in there as well. Making deals, identifying who would be a threat to his alliance, and then getting rid of them are traits that would serve anyone well on the real Survivor.
4. I really only listen to country, so I am going to stick with what I know here!
John-"Brand new man" by Brooks and Dunn. Color-White. The reason I chose both of these is that while symbolizes rebirth and John was given a second chance to be a part of the game when he replaced Kelly on the jury. The song also exemplifies this.
Brad-"Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Color-gray. I had a lot of trouble coming up with a song for Brad, since I did not know him that well. This comes close though. He seems to me as a free spirit, not really wanting to rely on others to support him. Gray is not really any kind of shade, between black and white. And that is where I see Brad. Unique, not attaching himself to any one color.
Jenna-"Betrayal" by Dave Matthews. Color-Black. Black is dark, and to me perfectly defines betrayal, and this along with the song describes what I did to Jenna in the final eight. She put her trust in me that if she gave me immunity, I would keep her safe, which I did not. I still feel bad for that, and hope she forgives me for it one day.
Ibrehem and Yul. I am sorry, but i have to put these two together. Song-"Survivor" by Destiny's child. Color-Puce. I know that this seems like an odd color choice, but puce is a color that no one really uses and does not know about. but yet it has survived, which is really what these two are. They found ways to survive round after round and still came out looking good.
Rob-"Good guys (don't wear white)" by Minor Threat. Color=black. Rob was quite simply, a good guy that got dirty when he had to. When he was down, and found himself about to be voted out, he got a little dirty and did what he had to do to survive. Black obviously because it is the opposite of white.
Sydney-"All American Girl" by Carrie Underwood. Color-pink. Syd just seems to me to be that all american girl next door. Sweet and innocent, but do not piss her off! Pink just seems to me to be the perfect color to go with that image.
5.
John-Bobby John Drinkard: Like BJ, John had a chance to come back into a game and make a difference, though John only got a shot at a jury spot, he still was given a second chance to make some noise.
Brad-Brian Hiedick: Quiet and unassuming, no one saw Brian coming, and I get the feeling that Brad would have been the same way had he stayed in the game.
Yul: Yul lol: Yul is just like his namesake. Sneaky and conniving, but in a good way. Friendly and smart, everyone likes him. It was only bad luck that kept Yul from repeating what the real Yul did and win a game.
Iberehem-Rupert Bonham: Like Yul, Ibe was likeable and had a very good head on his shoulders, and could more than likely could tell when someone was trying to put something over on him. Just like the great bearded one Rupert.
Jenna: Yao Man Chan: Once again, I have to bring up the betrayal. Jenna was betrayed by me, and Yao Man was deceived by Dreemz in order to get a car. In both cases, they fell for a promise that they should not have.
Rob-Coach Wade: How many rounds did we wait for Coach to go, SURE that he was? It was the same with Rob. There were a few rounds where it was almost certain that he would be sent packing, but always found a way to avoid it.
Syd-Amber Brkich: Sweet and charming with a heart of gold. Syd and Amber both charmed their way through the game and stole a few hearts along the way.
Whew! I hope this is what you wanted Ibe and I wish you the best of luck with your vote.

OK, so I know that Rudy already said this, but this was one of the few of your questions I knew a definite answer to going into your questioning. I know for a fact the best move I made was voting you out at Final 6. This is because you were, at that point, not only my biggest threat and obstacle at getting to the end and winning the game, but also it set me up in a position where everyone else left in the game once you left wanted to work with me in their mission to make the Final 2. It set me up for a perfect ending, basically, and I insured the numbers for it by gaining Rob C.'s trust and having him on my side, having Rudy as my Final 2 partner, and telling Syd your plan and getting her to vote along with us.I think the first question explains why I voted you out--you were my biggest competition if we made Final 2 together, and you were also my biggest competition to actually make it TO the Final 2. Do I think that it's fair? No. But, Survivor isn't about fairness, it's about strategy. I don't think it was fair that I had to settle for third place in Season One when, to be honest, I really felt like I should have won that season, but I took it and dealt with it. Things don't always work out for what was most fair in these games, and when they don't, you just have to move past it.Hmm....interesting question. And it's a hard one, too! It's hard to gauge this because I don't know everyones' physical condition and what they look like, ya know? But, if I had to go off the game alone:
Would do best on Survivor: Rob C. I think that Rob C., once he reaches the age so that he can actually apply to be on the show  , has proven that he does not give up when the chips are down. As in Big Brother, anything can change or ruin a plan at a moment's notice. Rob didn't give up and ended up in a position where he could get himself farther in the game. He recognized this, and he took advantage of it. Also, he is very likable. I think all of this is necessary to do well on the real Survivor.
Who would do worst on the real Survivor: John K. I love him, but i'd have to go with John K., simply because I did not get to see any strategy from him, therefore I can't really fit him in and would have to say if others couldn't get a clear read on him, he would be a likely target on the real show.
John K.- "Hurt"-Christina Aguilera (I know I keep reverting to this, but all I can think about is how you were in the hospital)-->Red-->The color of blood!  
Brad-"Semi-Charmed Life"-Third Eye Blind (I think that you were at a time where you were kind of hating the end of school and dreading it, and it wasn't allowing you to play the game to your full potential. At the same time, you were trying to have fun with it and do your best.) - Maroon-->This is a color that is solid and there. I think Brad was "there" and an obvious force in the game when it came to challenges.
Jenna-"Coca Cola Shape"-Sasha ft. Fatman Scoop (OK, so this one is more of on the real Jenna because I think she was attractive as hell lol. But also, there's parts in the game that talk about your ass going back and forth, and my feelings on where I stood with her in relation to others kept going back and forth.) - Hot Pink--> It is a very bright and in your face color, and I think that is Jenna's personality, as I have touched on before.
Ibrehem-"No Games"-Serani (I think you were very upfront and honest when it came to your plans in this game and where you stood with people. You weren't trying to lie or be manipulative, and while you were playing THE GAME, you weren't trying to play games with people.) - Green-->Green is the color of nature and serenity, and that is what I see when I think of you lol.
Yul-"Scared of Me"-Fedde Le Grand // "Let The Feelings Go"-AnnaGrace (Two techno/dance/club songs, I think together they describe my position with Yul perfectly. I was scared of him come Final 2, and I had to put feelings aside to take him out of this game. Also, I think the fact that they are club/techno songs help to describe Yul even better because I think this kind of music can make someone emote any kind of emotion (and not just because the people listening to it might be on ecstasy  ), but I think it shows Yul's wide range of emotions and strategies.) -Teal-->The color of the ocean, depending on where you live. Sometimes it could be dirtier or clearer, but for now, we'll say teal. I think the ocean could be peaceful, calm, and beautiful, but it can also be wild and threatening. That's what I think of Yul.
Rob C.- "You're A Jerk" - New Boyz "Try Again"-Aaliyah (The lyrics say it itself "If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again...you can dust yourself off and try again [try again]". I think that Rob never gave up, and he tried different things, and it ended up helping him out.) - Orange-I honestly just think orange is a dominant yet underrated color, and I think that Rob was dominant yet underrated/underestimated.
Sydney-"Aww Shit!"-Kelis ft. Smoke (Sydney would go missing at certain times and it would leave me like "S**t!If she doesn't get on to vote in time, it could ruin my plans. Also, when she fought back to Jenna, I was like oh no, this won't be good. ) - Yellow-Yellow can be associated with the sun, which is bright and lovely, but can also be associated with danger signs on the back of cars, which can represent a hazard (in terms of if she didn't vote as I said before.)and just to throw in there, for Rudy --> "My Boo" -Usher ft. Alicia Keys . LOL
John K.- Michael Skupin (Australia) - A good player in the game who was removed due to an injury. Had the injury not happened, he could and most likely would have went farther. I, once again, feel that John K. could relate to this.
Brad- Ken(Thailand) - A phsyical threat who was taken out because he was in the minority alliance. He was a bit frazzled by the twist in the game, and Brad was a bit thrown off by real-life situations.
Jenna- Jamie(Guatemala) - Like Jamie, she was actually aligned or had deals with people, but they were broken. Also like Jamie, she had a little spunk and spoke up when she wanted to. I would say Judd, but he would ruin the Jenna image lol.
Ibrehem- Neleh(Marquesas) - Someone that got far but was actually honest and not conniving, but did have a strategy and set himself up with an alliance. In the end, they both got close, but had no victory.
Yul- Tom Westman(Palau) - Like Tom, Yul played the game [for the most part] honestly. However, he definitely had a strategy and was doing what he needed/wanted to do in order to win. Also, if I remember correctly from his first time around (it didn't show through as well this time), Yul and Tom were both excellent competitors when it came to the Immunity Challenges.
Rob C.- Erinn(Tocantins) - At the end of Tocantins, things looked hopeless for Erinn. She would just be picked off, right? Wrong. She kept staying in and getting farther. However, at the end, so close to making it to the finale, she was taken out. Rob C. is exactly the same situation.
Sydney- Eliza(Vanuatu) - Like Eliza in Vanuatu, Sydney wasn't the power player or the one calling the shots, but she kept managing to get by in the game, and in the end, got herself close to the finale and the victory. --- Alright, have fun reading! LOL
