Gerard, I would compare you to Stephenie LaGrossa. Your first time around you you had an uphill battle on a poorly-performing tribe but still managed to fight through to reach the merge. And you even managed to fight through two further Tribals with the odds stacked against you. Like Stephenie, you really stepped up your game on your second season and proved you could play this game well. I think you really took charge of your alliance and did what it took to reach the end. You formed strong connections with people and sometimes you had to sever those connections to make it through but you didn't do it out of spite. The Guatemala jury was fairly angry with Stephenie but I think you were far more respected and liked.

Personality-wise though you're much more down-to-earth, a sociable person and quite funny. I'd maybe say someone like Colleen. You're both nice people, with a little bit of cheek and you're not afraid to have a laugh at yourself. Although I'm glad you taught me the meaning of 'swerve', which is maybe something Yasmin would say but I don't think you're like Yasmin.
