Hi everyone!! Looks like im going to replace Jolanda in the jury so i hope i can get my vote by really looking at the gameplay from both of you guys. And congrats on making it this far!! IT was a hard road. For both of you- Compare everyone from this game, to any player from any TV survivor season and give a reason why... This is original but i hope you guys can answer it as best you can. You may have to look back at some certain people...

Hey Ibrehem! Glad to see you!
Alright, this was definitely a very hard decision, and most of my comparison's are from the earliest seasons - and also aren't verbatim with the circumstances, but I've tried my best.
Jenn - Wanda Shirk; Obviously, she wasn't pick in the pick'em. Tom - Jonathan Libby; Again, obviously wasn't chosen at pick'em. Katie - Debb Eaton; No one really got the chance to know her, and she wasn't much of an asset to the team. Jeff - Osten Taylor; He tried, but eventually just gave up and quit. Janu - Peter Harkey; S/He was kind of "out there" and barely anyone talked to him enough to know him well. Ashlee - Stacey Stillman; She helped in some challenges, but was just too weak for her tribe to keep her any longer. Kim - Sarah Jones; She was just kind of "there" and didn't really do much. Jonathan - Shawna Mitchell; Minus the whining, s/he was basically just "there" on their tribe, not contributing much, and not always there enough to help out even the slightest sometimes. James - Gina Crews; It was all circumstantial. The lack of winning and not having enough support just led to his/her demise. Gregg - JoAnna Ward; He/she was just too strong and going into the merge with him/her was just too risky, even though he [not she lol] would've been a great ally. Ibrehem - Rob Cesternino [All-Stars]; He played the game too strongly, and people knew his capabilities and strengths and weaknesses, so he quickly became a target. Stephenie - Alicia Calaway; She was just far too strong, and had she been left in the game, she would've easily dominated the challenges and gone extremely far. Bobby Jon - Janu Tornell; Gave so much to winning and to the game, then just gave up. [Even though, Bobby Jon didn't quit, he "disappeared" because of the hiatus]. Wanda - Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien; The most deserving person to not win the game. Extremely strategical, strong in the challenges [even if she lost]. Held the entire game in her hands and ultimately trusted the wrong people which took her out in both seasons. Jolanda - Teresa Cooper; Gave a great fight to the end and very well-liked, but because of previous alliances and numbers she was voted out as a threat to interfere with plans. Caryn - Tijuana Bradley; Did what she had to to stay alive and tried her hardest to make things happen so that she got further, but was eventually voted out because of numbers, and being too much of a threat. Coby - Elisabeth Filarski; Very well liked and extremely competitive, even if s/he sometimes lost. Had s/he made the Final 2, s/he would've easily won, no matter what happened in the Final Tribal Council. Angie - Scout Cloud Lee; Didn't pose a threat in many of the challenges [regardless of Angie winning the Final 4 immunity] and was well-liked. Half-way through the game, she switched from the big alliance to a smaller alliance which took her farther.
Willard - Johnny Fairplay; Although Willard was more liked that Johnny, both played the blunt, nasty games. Both basically did what they had to to win and kept their options open to anything, as long as they were safe.
Ian - Kelly Wiglesworth; Broke apart from the larger alliance to play his/her own game. Socialized with everyone in the game and tried his/her best to not have any enemies. Once some were made, challenges were won to ensure his/her safety and remainder in the game. Ultimately outwitted the others, regardless of amount of options they had, by always being the BEST [and sometimes ONLY] option and always having to have them trust him/her enough to get them one round farther, as well as him/herself.

"The most deserving person to not win the game." I'm fairly sure you just said that wrong, but you just said I didn't deserve to win.

You're interpretting it wrong.. so let me rephrase::
Wanda/Kathy = The most deserving players to win, but in turn, lost. Meaning, you should have won because of your entire gameplay and how things were going for you - but you didn't.
By no means did I mean you were the most deserving to NOT win. Maybe "The least deserving to lose" would be better? It's a compliment, I promise.

I didn't look at what Ian did, just to make sure my picks weren't influenced by his.
Jenn -> Brianna Varela. Jenn was nice, but showed signs of inactivity early on, so she wasn't picked. Had Brianna been on Palau, she wouldn't have survived the pick'em.
Tom -> Jonathan Libby. Tom seemed strong, looked like he would be active, but was a little... let's say special and I believe that's the reason he wasn't picked to play.
Katie -> Nicole Delma. She wasn't an asset to her tribe while they needed strenght. First boot.
Jeff -> Jenna Morasca (All-Stars). Jenna wanted to play, but her heart wasn't in the game. That's why she quit. Same for Jeff here.
Janu -> Tanya Vance. Was a somewhat strong player, and nice too. But she became "sick" and was voted out because of it.
Ashlee -> Kim Mullen. She wasn't an asset to the tribe she was on. Plus, she was kinda weird. Her talent at "changelles" was discutable.
Kim -> Willard Smith. Her tribe had to go to TC, and she was just the weakest link in there.
Jonathan -> Melinda Hyder. He wasn't strong enough for his tribe and had to be voted out early.
James -> Michelle Tesauro. Even though he was there on the tribe and helped at challenges, he was out of the social bunch (read 'alliance') and got voted out because of it.
Gregg -> Ibrehem Rahman. Gregg was a great player and well liked, too. Had his tribe won the last premerge challenge, he would have made it far. But they had to vote out someone (like Steph and BJ did) and it was him who took the fall.
Ibrehem -> Shii Ann Huang (Thailand). Even though how it went down isn't what happened to Shii Ann, I see a great similarity. between both. ShiiAnn came into merge seeking to switch against Sook Jai. She got voted out because of the twist, since she was really into the game and was ready to do anything to win. Ibrehem went down because he played too much strategy. He was also great at challenges, like Shii Ann. He was voted out because the opposing alliance was scared of his strenght in all aspects of the game. Mentally, Physically and Socially.
Stephenie -> Bobby Jon Drinkard (Guatemala). At merge, she was in the minority and got voted out because she was too strong.
Bobby Jon -> Mike Skupin. Got burnt in the fire of the pause. Enough said >_>.
Wanda -> Amy Cusack. Amy was a strong player, had a lot of power in her alliance, but had most of it turn on her because she was in a too good situation to win the game. Like Scout and Twila turned on Amy and Leann, me and Ian turned on Wanda and Coby.
Jolanda -> Stephenie LaGrossa (Palau). The only difference is that she was second last on her tribe, and not last. She came in and was well liked (and admired) by everyone. Some of us wanted to keep her in the game and vote with her, but she was ultimately voted out because she was too much of a threat.
Caryn -> Chris Daugherty. Last person left from her original tribe, Caryn found ways to stay around the longest she could. Had she won immunity in the F5 she may had been able to reverse everything, just like Chris did. That's the only difference between the two.
Coby -> Rupert Boneham (Pearl islands). Coby, like Rupert, was an asset to his first tribe. The strongest of the bunch, he's responsible for most of the wins on the tribe. Rupert was ultimately betrayed by his friends, because he was too strong and also because he was way too well liked on the jury.
Angie -> Jenna Lewis (All Stars). She switched from a tribal alliance to a smaller one but doing so, she allied with a strong F2 alliance. Her only hope was to win the F3 challenge... but she couldn't.
Willard -> Danni Boatwright. She wasn't expected to go that far. Seemed like an underdog inthe merged tribe, but played a great strategical game that ultimately led her to F2.
Ian -> Ian Rosenberger. Ian played a good game and was on top of his alliance, but let emotions come in the way. He regretted his game and his backstabbing, which were needed for him to make it far. He was not tough enough to play the game he did, but was kinda forced to by his Final Two partner.
Finally, the questioning is over with. :-p
