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."

Official CBS Survivor 44 bio excerpts (January 31, 2023), via Mike Bloom at Parade.com:
"3 Words to Describe You: Energetic, funny, competitive
Why do you want to be part of SURVIVOR? I want to be a part of SURVIVOR because this is a great social experiment. It breaks you down only to test you to get back up.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? There are so many experiences but if I had to choose one, it would be turning into the husband and father that I am today after being abandoned as a child.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Jeremy Collins. I would identify the most with him. His sense of family and commitment. I would play like Jeremy Collins.
Favorite Hobbies: Golf, boxing
Pet Peeves: People who run their fork on their teeth while eating
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Raising two awesome kids with my amazing wife
What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I was adopted by a white family
Who in your life is your biggest inspiration and why? My adoptive mother. She takes no s*&! but gives a great amount of love.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I will be the Sole Survivor because this is my time. I will be social and rely on my strategic wit."
Meet Bruce, an insurance agent who is a big fan ready to be a chameleon throughout the game!👀 #Survivor pic.twitter.com/pU7jrs6T7N

Official CBS Survivor 45 bio excerpts (from Mike Bloom's Parade.com gallery, 9/7/23):
3 Words to Describe You: Funny, competitive, energetic
Why do you want to be part of SURVIVOR? I love this game! This is something that I need a chance to play. I lost that chance and now have it back. The construct of this game is a microcosm of our everyday life. I want to be a part of Survivor because Survivor is my life.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? My life ... I have been through the foster care system. I am, on a daily basis, working on ways to survive in my daily life.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Still my boy, Jeremy Collins. His values and sense of family mirror mine. I’ll play the game like Jeremy, like Jesse from [season] 43, like Gabler. I cannot conform to just one player or style. I will be able to assess the situation and adapt to it.
Favorite Hobbies: Golf, boxing
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Raising two awesome kids with my amazing wife
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I will be the Sole Survivor because this is my time.
