Tribal: rVAP percentile
96%
Performance ranks are a quick visual measure of the contestant's season vs. historical data from all prior contestants, in three basic (scorable) categories:
1. Performance in individual challenges (MPF), as a measure of "physical game";
2. Ability to vote people out consistently (VFB%, or VFB/TCA), or "strategic game"; and
3. Ability to avoid being voted against (rVAP, or TCA-VAP) - which scales better than a percentage would - for "social/strategic game."

AJ Antonios - Bio
AU: Brains v Brawn II bio Official Ten AU: Brains v Brawn II bio excerpts (January 20, 2025):
"Charismatic and charming, AJ is a Survivor super fan and has big plans to take on the game.
AJ is a gamer and serious poker player who has been addicted to games and winning since he was a teenager when he discovered trading card games like Yu Gi Oh and found his natural skill at them.
Hoping his poker skills will help give him a head start in Survivor, AJ says it’s all deception and working out who is playing who. He also admits his social skills will help him and will use them to his advantage saying, “I’ll say things like, you did so good! I loved that blindside! That was so smart! Of course it wasn't smart. But I'm going to tell them it was.”
While his head might be in the game, AJ says the elements will be his biggest issue.
“The hardest part about Survivor for me will be sleeping outdoors. I'm used to really nice accommodation generally, so sleeping outdoors is going to be a little bit tough. I love the cold and am a big snow person, but I can’t stand being cold. Everyone here will be wearing shorts and t-shirts, and I’ll have jumpers and layers to help me through.”
For AJ, Survivor isn’t just a game but a chance to really prove himself saying, “I want to be remembered as the best Survivor player ever. Not, not just in Australia. I really want to be the most fun, entertaining, strategic, everything. I want it all together. I want to be that Survivor player that is just undisputed the best.”"
