Nate Davis - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
75%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
78%
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."

Nate Davis - Bio
NZ 1:
Nicaragua bio From Chris Schulz at the NZ Herald (4/27/17):
"Who: Senior police sergeant, 45, from Dannevirke
Key attributes: I am strong emotionally, and still reasonably strong physically. I am very strong mentally."
Why he's a threat: 'I worked on some core strength and fitness training, and studied personality traits and neuro-linguistic programming.'
What makes him mad: 'If you cross me or lie to me - it will be extremely hard for me to respect you again.'"
