Aaron Meredith - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
55%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
64%
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."

Aaron Meredith - Bio
S39:
Island of the Idols Official CBS Island of the Idols bio excerpts (September 9, 2019):
"Hobbies: Lifting, traveling, and outdoor activities.
Pet peeves: Ignorance, driving slow in the left lane, and lazy people.
Three words to describe you: Attractive, intelligent, and strong.
What's one thing we wouldn't know from seeing a photo of you? I once had a kettle corn business. I drove up the east coast popping popcorn at fairs.
Which Survivor contestant are you most like? Ozzy. He's a physical monster when it comes to challenges, a major contributor around camp, a smart player, and social threat.
Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I flat out want this! I have to come in with a STRONG social game because I will have a huge target on my back as a physical threat. I know how to work people, get people to know me, like me, and trust me."
