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."

Chrissy Hofbeck - Bios
Excerpts from her official CBS Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers bio page (8/30/17):
"Hobbies: Adventure travel, any kind of puzzle, and cheering on my kids at their sports and activities.
Pet peeves: When someone doesn't hold a fork correctly and eats like a caveman.
What's your personal claim to fame? I've traveled through all seven continents! I'm proud of having graduated from Penn (as a math major!) and MIT. And mostly, I'm really proud of the three incredible humans that my husband and I have raised.
If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A photo of my family since they'd get me through the super tough days, a blanket because I hate being cold, and tweezers.
Which Survivor contestant are you most like? Probably Tai Trang. He falls in love with everyone but gets cut-throat when he needs to. Or Spencer Bledsoe, who never gives up or stops looking for cracks.
Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I am smart, lovable, and driven, and people like to help me, a combination that has led to great success. I get along with everyone, work hard, and always think "I can do it!"
Official CBS Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans cast bio excerpts (expected February, 2026):
"Why do you want to come back for Survivor 50 and how does it feel to be chosen for this milestone season? I love this game! I am beyond grateful to have been chosen for 50. Having watched since S1E1 (In real time!) and now getting to play with some of the most iconic players in 49 seasons feels surreal.
What one life experience since the last time you played do you feel has prepared you for 50? Two years ago I learned that I carried the BRCA gene mutation which puts me at a very high risk for certain cancers. 8 weeks later I was on the operating table having my breasts, ovaries, and fallopian tubes removed. I was reminded that I can do big things bravely. So shortly after, my daughter Elise and I packed a couple backpacks and hiked the Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile pilgrimage across Spain. I am still strong and tough.
Coming into this season, what is the Survivor accomplishment you are most proud of? And what are you eager to have another shot at? In S35 I tied the record for the most individual immunity challenges won by a woman in a season (4). This season, I want to win.
What would you say is your Survivor reputation and how will you manage that perception in the game? Who would’ve thought I’d be a “challenge beast” lol. This season I’ll mitigate that by purposefully not winning any individual reward challenges (I don’t want to burn bridges with those I choose to join me anyway) or the first immunity challenge. But at some point I’m going to have to turn on the gas.
What is your strategy going into 50? And how will it differ from previous time(s) you’ve played? Win.
Survivor fans have had the opportunity to help shape the game this season by voting on various elements – what are you hoping makes the cut and why? I hope we minimize advantages especially games of chance. I love the strategy aspect of this game and “picking a box” or “flipping a coin” is definitely not a strategic element. And I hope we get a live reunion!
At this point in your life who is your biggest inspiration and why? There isn’t one person. I am inspired daily by my husband, my kids, my sisters, my parents, my friends and my colleagues. I’ve been blessed with having built a life full of people who I love, admire and look up to.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I legitimately think I can win this season. I think old school and new era will target each other, leaving new school to glide through. As long as I can manage my threat level while facilitating the boot order that’s best for my game, I think I can play all sides… to the end."
