Chrissy Sarnowsky - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
77%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
14%
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 Sarnowsky - Bio
Survivor 48 bio Official CBS Survivor 48 bio excerpts, (as preserved in Mike Bloom's Parade.com cast reveal, January 29, 2025):
"3 Words to Describe You: Badass, Lucky, Generous
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? Why not? I want to show all the little girls out there they can be firefighters / truck drivers / policemen, etc. Anything they want!!
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Sometimes as a firefighter you are assigned to a new firehouse with new crew. You learn real fast how to size people up. How to deal with different personalities.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I really liked Carolyn. She was herself. And that’s how I intend to play. Be myself! Except maybe lie a little. Haha!
What will you value in an alliance partner? Looking for someone I connect with. I know we are all in it to win. But if you have someone that has your back. At least to final 5. That would be ideal.
Favorite Hobbies: Working out. I love cardio. But I also like to eat junk food. So it equals out.
Pet Peeves: When someone doesn’t wipe off gym equipment. And leaves it all sweaty. Gross!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Prob everything. I grew up poor. Dropped out of high school. So I’m very proud of everything I did. Raise my son / single mom. Firefighter / paramedic. Lieutenant / nurse.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? That I dropped out of high school.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why? Me. I came from nothing. Welfare family. To having a great career. Supporting my son by myself.
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I am doing this for me and my family and friends. I have friends fighting cancer. My mother is getting older. I want to help all of them."
