Karla gets IC advantage
Owen wins F5 IC
  • F5 advantage: Karla deciphers the clue first, gets passed by Owen, then yoinks the advantage out from the tree stump in which Owen is looking. It gives her a slight IC advantage.
  • Final 5 IC: "Draw the Line" - It's an obstacle course followed by a word puzzle, which everyone reaches. Eventually, Owen wins. He gets a feast and immunity, takes Cassidy.

 

Karla out, 4-[0]
Cassidy wins F4 IC
  • Final 5 voted out: Karl, 4-[0], over an idol-playing Jesse.
  • Final 4 IC: "Operation Balance Build" - Cassidy wins!

 

Jesse out via fire
Gabler wins 7-1-0
  • Final 4 out via fire: Jesse, sigh.
  • Final jury vote: Gabler wins, 7-1-0 over Cassidy and Owen, respectively.
Episode 13 scoring notes
  • Apart from *Jesse's idol play, nothing really out of the ordinary here. On both ICs, every non-winner tied for second place, because you can't assume progress will be maintained on the F4 IC, and there's no way to measure progress on the F5 IC (and all were on the puzzle).
Final 5 vote count:
  • Karla received 4 votes, from Cassidy, Gabler, Jesse, and Owen (voted out, 4-[0]).
  • [*Jesse received 1 vote, from Kalra, voided by his playing of Jeanine's idol.]
Jury vote count:
  • Gabler received 7 votes, from Jeanine, Ryan, Noelle, Sami, Cody, Karla, and Jesse (winner, 7-1-0).
  • Cassidy received 1 vote, from James.
  • Owen received zero votes.

Glossary of terms
  • Challenge stats
    • ChW: Challenge Wins. For tribal challenges, a contestant earns a fraction of 1 win, depending on if they participated (no points for sitting out). So in a five-person tribe's win, each participant gets (1/5) of a point, or 0.2 points. Duels (or individual RCs as in Ep1) at Redemption Island count as half a challenge (and half a win). Individual challenge wins count as a full point.
    • ChA: Challenge Appearances. Used to calculate ChW%. Fractional for tribal challenges (same as ChW), except sit-outs get charged for an appearance, because they could have participated.
    • ChW%: Challenge Win%. Simply, ChW% = ChW / ChA.
    • SO: The number of times a contestant sat out of a challenge.
  • Tribal Council stats
    • VFB: Votes For Bootee. The number of times the contestant has voted for the person who was ultimately voted out. Applies only to initial votes (no points for revotes in case of a tie). Special case: In a final three TC, where only one vote is cast (by the F3 IC winner), only that vote counts.
    • VAP: Votes Against the Player. The total number of tribal council votes cast against the contestant. Again, only initial votes count (no penalty for revotes), and here a hidden immunity idol (if played) erases the votes. In the special case of a final three tribal council above, only the F3 bootee receives a vote against.
    • TotV: Total votes cast during the tribal councils the player has attended (again, only initial votes count). Used to adjust for different vote totals as tribes shrink.
    • TCA: Tribal council appearances. The number of times a contestant has attended tribal council (at which they voted).
    • TC%: Tribal Council percent. Attempts to reward voting for the bootee (which players controlling the vote almost always do), while punishing receiving votes yourself. The formula is: TC% = [VFB - (VAP/TotV)] / TCA.
    • wTCR: weighted Tribal Council Ratio. Very similar in intent to TC%, but calculated as a ratio of VFB to VAP, while also scaling to a uniform number of TC appearances. The formula is as follows: wTCR =2* [VFB / (4+VAP)] x (14/TCA). I originally tried (1+VAP) to avoid dividing by zero, but this overly rewarded getting zero votes against relative to just one vote against, which seemed silly. (4+VAP) scaled that effect back comfortably. 14 was used as the scaling factor for TC appearances because there are usually 14 episodes, then a final scaling factor of 2 to bring maximal scores up to roughly even with ChW and JV% high scores.
  • Jury stats
    • JVF: Number of jury votes for the contestant to win. Maximum nine (Earl Cole, Fiji), theoretically.
    • TotJ: Total number of jurors. Necessary to not punish unanimous 7-juror winners (JT Thomas, Tocantins).
    • JV%: The percent of total jury votes cast for the contestant, or Jur% = JVF/ TotJ. This number is used, raw, in SurvSc, and is scaled in SurvAv (multiplied by six) to make it similar in size to ChW and wTCR.
  • Overall scores
    • Survival Score (SurvSc). It's simply the sum of Challenge Win% (ChW%) + Tribal Council% (TC%) + Jury Vote%, for a maximum possible score of 2 (3 after the finale).
    • Survival Average (SurvAv). It's a simple sum of fractional Challenge Wins (ChW), weighted TC Ratio (wTCR), and (eventually) a weighted Jury%. The latter two max out at six points total, for a theoretical maximum score of around 18 or so.
