Darrah would have voted for Sandra. That is clear cut. She even said so in her final words, and that is about as close to the final vote as you can get. "Jon and Lill, your both snakes...".

I can see this as well. Though remember, in the first 6 seasons, not all individual based competitions were physical. Many of them weren't. Back then, the game was also different in that it wasn't a mad frenzy to eliminate competitors. See Roger getting targeted before Dave. Sure, Ogakor took out the physical Kuchas in Alicia/Nick as soon as they could, but no one ever looked at Colby.

True but I could reply that, at the merge, Lex took out Clarence first, Boston Rob had go in Marquesas with Sean slated ahead of Vee, Brian took out Ken first (the guy looked like a physical threat even if he was pathetic) and, once pain-in-the-ass Rodger left, Dave was next.

Most importantly, the PI challenges started off fairly physical from what I remember. Even in an early one that wasn't physical, Burton came within one "i" and a "booth review" by Probst of still winning immunity.
From Sandra's perspective, he HAD to go.

CR: I trust your Survivor memory so I'll ask you: Was Sandra aware of Rupert's merge offer to Savage of "your 3 against my 3"?

Yeah, definitely. Lex took out Clarence, but Africa's post merge game largely had nothing to do with physical prowess, with the exceptions being who was first in the pecking order of a pagonging (ex. Kim P. before Teresa). But had Clarence played a well enough social game within Boran, they wouldn't have targeted him ... you didn't see Lex try to take out Ethan or Tom. Physical prowess was an excuse to take out a player who they had no use for. As for Boston Rob, he was voted out for being a shit stirrer.

Re: PI challenges. Post merge, the first IC was physical. The F9, F8, and F7 were not. And like I said, back then, people were more concerned with position as opposed to fashioning position after who's a threat and who's not. That's why I think the dynamics were better back then; anyone could go far with the right strategy.

I honestly do not remember if Sandra was aware of Rupert's offer. Although to be fair, Savage was a man of his word (not necessarily a good thing in Survivor) whereas Fairplay and Burton were not.

Also, as a side note, I really doubt Sandra would have been the first Drake voted out. Shawn/Burton/Michelle outcasted themselves very quickly, and Sandra was an asset in the market. I believe she teamed up with Rupert and co. fairly quickly, and we already saw a Sandra-Christa bond from the first episode. I personally took all the talk of "Sandra was slated to be the first Drake to go" as either an initial impression or just talk to make her journey to the final 2 sound better.

But all evidence, including her own final words, point to her voting for Sandra over snakes Lill or Jon.
