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 SurvivorSA: Return of the Outcasts M-Net bio (6/5/22):
"Marian De Vos studied fashion at the College of Fashion Design in Cape Town and now works as a buyer in the retail industry. She grew up in a big family and is the youngest of five siblings.
Marian is probably the biggest Survivor fan in South Africa. She’s followed each season closely and has been a particularly online vocal commentator about the show. She knows the game inside out, but still struggled during her season when the addition of captains put her off her game.
Despite that, she still made her mark on the game as Survivor SAem>’s first true female villain – confident that she had a better grasp of the game than her fellow castaways and was more astute than them. Her biggest challenge this season will be adapting to the way the game has changed in the eight years since she played."
This season of @Survivor_SA is incredibly personal for me. It was so important to share my story in hopes that it may motivate and inspire someone going through a dark/difficult time...
